Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! Welcome to our class today. We’re going to spend our time getting to know each other better through an activity called 'All About Me'. By the end of today’s lesson, you will be able to introduce yourself in English and share some personal information."
Teacher: "Let’s start with a fun icebreaker! Please find a partner next to you. You have two minutes to greet each other and say your name. Remember to smile and make eye contact. Ready? Go!"
(After 2 minutes)
Teacher: "Alright, time’s up! I hope you all had a wonderful chat. Let’s now jump into our main activity!"
Teacher: "I have some printable cards for you. I will hand these out now. Each card has space for you to write down some important details about yourself, such as your name, your hobby, and any interests you have."
(Distributes cards and markers)
Teacher: "Please take a moment to read through the instructions on the card. Make sure you fill in your information clearly, as you’ll be using these cards in the next activity. You have 10 minutes to do this."
Teacher: "Now, let’s get started. Please think carefully about each prompt on your card. You might want to write something that stands out and that you would feel comfortable sharing with your classmates."
(Walks around the room monitoring students)
Teacher: "I’ll be here if you have any questions or need help. You have 10 minutes to fill out your cards."
Teacher: "Great job filling out your cards! Now, let’s move to the next step. Please form groups of four. When you are in your group, take turns introducing yourselves using the information on your cards."
Teacher: "As you introduce yourself, I encourage everyone to ask follow-up questions to get to know your teammates better. For example, if someone mentions their hobby, you could ask them how they got into it or what they enjoy most about it."
(Gives students time to complete the introductions)
Teacher: "I’ll come around to listen and help facilitate discussions. Remember, this is your time to communicate and connect!"
Teacher: "Alright, everyone! I’d like to do a little 'random check'. Please put your cards on the table in front of you. I will randomly select some as I walk around. While I’m doing this, please continue conversing with your group."
(Collects cards randomly)
Teacher: "Thank you all for your participation. I want to ensure that you are comfortable with the introductions and using the language correctly. I'll be offering feedback on what I observe."
Teacher: "Now, I have a homework assignment for you. I’d like each of you to write about a personal experience that is meaningful to you. This could be a favorite memory, a significant moment in your life, or a lesson you learned."
Teacher: "You can submit this assignment online or in written form in our next class. Just remember, no presentations will be required; I just want you to write about it. Are there any questions on this?"
Teacher: "As we wrap up today's lesson, I want to thank you all for your hard work and engagement. Before we finish, I would love to hear your thoughts on today’s activities. What did you like most? Was there anything you found challenging?"
(Takes notes as students provide feedback)
Teacher: "Thank you for sharing your feedback! It’s important for me to know how you feel about our lessons. Keep practicing your introductions until we meet again, and I look forward to reading your homework! Have a great day!"
