Picture – Word Matching Activity has been designed to introduce the lesson. The animals that are discussed in the lesson are introduced in the activity

After matching the names with the corresponding pictures, the activity is extended to answering questions written in a chart

It makes the students more familiar with the names of the animals and contextual understanding of the difference between ‘Extinct’ and ‘Existing’

Then the teacher leads to the gist of the lesson briefly

The teacher reads the selected passage with proper stress, pause and intonation

Then the students repeat after the teacher phrase by phrase

Students read silently and underline the new words and use dictionary to find out meanings

The teacher writes some new words on the board and explains them contextually

The lesson is consolidated in the form of ‘facts’. Here the children are given practice in using the language structures and phrases.

Survey Report Activity has been given for reinforcement

The children are engaged in writing the report based on the survey and presenting it (The activity is demonstrated in training)

S.L No Name of the Group Member / Student Answer for the given question

For First Question: We conducted a survey based on the question

_______________________________________. Totally ____________________ students took part in the survey. Out of __________ students __________ reported as they would protect ____________ students said as they would protect _____________. ____________ said they would protect ___________.

A passage has been taken from the lesson and questions are asked to evaluate the comprehension skill of the children

Cross word activity has been given to identify the names of the animals

Matching the animals with the adjectives is another activity which has been provided to help the late bloomers find out the correct answers from the book

Any other activity which is more appropriate to address the specific challenges of children may be given

Four questions have been given from the lesson to further develop the understanding of the lesson and to improve their writing skill

Project work has been assigned to collect information about a few extinct / endangered species

Imaginary essay writing about a topic has also been given as optional

Question-1What are the difficulties in reading the

passage?

Probably: pronunciation, meaning, function of the words and comprehension of the passage

What kind of preparation is needed for giving “Guided Reading”?

Suggestion: Reading the passage many times Understanding the passage Finding out the proper pronunciation and

meaning for the unfamiliar words Knowing the function and usage of the word

in different contexts Reading the passage again with proper

stress, pause and intonation

What strategies will you adopt to explain the following words?

Macaw Three – Toed - Sloth Exotic Extinct EndangeredSuggestions: Pictures or videos can be shown

for Three-toed- sloth and Macaw Exotic, Extinct and Endangered: These words

can be explained through examples, opposites, sentence formation, situational approach etc.

The teacher of English needs to facilitate the students by creating different situations in the classroom.

Situational approach to English language teaching plays a significant role for the children to understand the abstract ideas in a better way.

The following situations could be adopted based on the nature and needs of the content.

Classroom situation Real life situation Pictorial situation While explaining a new concept or vocabulary

through examples, application of different situations works better. Because the abstract ideas can be converted into concrete ones to some extent.

Why is Reinforcement Activity more important for English Subject?

It provides scope for the teacher to design appropriate activity so as to develop the language skills to be applied in real life

How does ‘Survey Report Activity’ serve the purpose of skill enrichment?

The language is functionally used by asking questions, answering, discussing and writing the report. Hence, all the skills are focused here
