Lesson plan. Last attempt

[Ras+sie_]

To whom it may concern

I need to write a lesson plan, but I don't seem to get it right. Can you please look at it and give me pointers. I dont want to fail. It's about hobbies and adverbs of frequency. I don't under stand the new vocabulary. This is what the tutor told me :

Comment: I am afraid you have again assumed that the students already know the target language. This is not the case, so you need to present this to them. As I stated in my previous feedback, "As far as vocab of hobbies goes, there is no presentation in your lesson - you simply assume that all the words are known by the students from the start. What you need to do is find a way to present each word to them and drill it thoroughly, so that they remember its meaning and pronunciation. "

You have only presented the adverbs of frequency which only need to be reviewed.

Here is the suggested staging:
Warmer
A quick review of the adverbs of frequency
Set context (through pictures)
Elicit vocabulary (elicit what they know and give them what they don’t know)
Drill chorally and individually
Give the written form (for students to refer back to)
Controlled speaking practice
Freer practice
Controlled written practice for homework

Thank you very much

I'll just make one quick comment: in the warmer, you are asking students to find vocab of hobbies in a word search puzzle; to find the words, the students have to know them already. Then they match the picture with the name of the hobby. This means the students know the language of hobbies. These tasks are fine for students who already know the language. But your task is to teach them this language; you need to assume that they don't know it. Hope this helps!
