| Submitted by S.Esen Kaya Lesson: English Class: Prep-A Time: 90 min Unit: Unit-7 Need / Needn’t Goals: Understandind the use of need / needn’t Objectives: To learn the use of need / needn’t, to discriminate the modal and the verb forms of need Level: Beginners Materials: Textbook, board, pictures,real objects,students themselves(for roleplay) Pre-Teaching(10 min) First i enter the class and greet my dear students with a big smile and ask how they are, what they have done during the weekend. Then, i ask how the wheather is like,if it is rainy i take out a sunglass from my inner pocket, if it is sunny an umbrella.assume that it is rainny and i wore my sunglasses; probably they will ask why i wore them, then i act as if i ve just realised and say’Yes, you are right! It is rany, i needn’t wear sunglasses but i wore.’then i ll write the real part on the board and make them repeat it. Ý also can involve them after some examples.For e.g. i can give a horrible wig to a student and then say ‘You needn’t change your hairstyle’ with a sour face and make the other students repeat it, but not as if repeating, as if directly saying it to that student.then i can go on with more examples. While-Teaching ACTIVITY 1(15 Min.) I can show some pictures.For e.g. I can show a sad woman with her dead plant, her neighbour says ‘you needn’t water your plant everyday.’ But she did i can go on. (this is a pre information for the difference of needn’t and didn’t need to) Then i write the main sentence on the board and underline the important parts. I can show them many more pictures I also will want them write it on the board so that i can correct it in the beginning and usually students like it when they can say it correctly. ACTIVITY 2 (10 Mins) My second aim is to teach them ‘didn’t need to’.In order to make them understand i give the same examples but in a different way. For e.g. i can wear the same sunglass again, then i say ‘it is rainy’ and they will say after those exercises ‘you needn’t wear sunglasses’ then i ll say ‘but i wore’.then i will take off my glasses and i will say ‘it is rainy, i didn’t need to wear my sunglasses and i didnt.’ so they will be able to understand the difference. I will repeat the same procedure with the other examples i had given. POST-TEACHING ACTIVITY (10 Mins) I will distribute a handout including a paragraph where needn’t or didn’t need to’ is used.I ll want the students focus on these sentences and what they mean. I can ask questions , we can talk about the paragraph for the last minutes of the first lesson. ---------------------------15 MINUTES BREAK------------------------------------- ACTIVITY 1 ( 10 Mins) At the beginning of the lesson, i give ten minutes to all students and want them create some situations and use ‘needn’t or didn’t need to’. ACTIVITY 2 ( 15 Mins) In the next minutes i give the place to my students for their presentation.This activity will be very enjoyable and at the same time i will be able to correct them immediately.More than writing students like watching, so they wont be able to forget if they both watch and hear at the same time. ACTIVITY 3 ( 15 Mins) After that,i can pass to the written exercises.I give then exercise sheets where the circumstances are given and what should be said is asked. For e.g. -Q-Your friend has bought a very expensive present for you.what do you say? -A-You needn’t buy such an expensive thing -Q-Your friend wants to buy a present for his boyfriend but she doesnt have so much money.What do you say? -A-You dont need to buy an expensive present. More examples like that will help them discriminate the modal and verb ‘need’. Post Teaching ( 5 Mins) I again read an interesting text where ‘needn’t or didn’t need to’ is used but this time i dont distribute the photocopies.I only read it as they will be tired.I just consolidate what they have learnt. |
