The lesson plan chosen
for the job shadowing is a
comprehension activity about the traditional story of St George and the Dragon.
The aims pursued are the following: to encourage
pupils to use English creatively, to practise simple present
tense verb form at third person, to learn new words, to retell a story through images,
to practise reading, to discover something about the British legendary
tradition. In addition, to give an
example of a superman who was fighting against the dangerous creatures and
getting back peace, which could contribute to the explorations of children's
own life and world in the future.
In this lesson, children
have watched the story of St George and the Dragon and played a
wordsearch about the main characters
and elements. They have represented the context
and some scenes of the story by legos.
The teacher has
given each pupil a copy of the story page and read it aloud by going round the classroom while pupils were listening, asking some of them
to repeat the sentences for the rest of
the class and checking their understanding by asking comprehension questions. She has divided
students into seven different small groups and assigned each group one part of
the story. Each student in the group has
tried to read their part of the story and each group has drawed a picture to
represent it. Using only their illustrations, one picture per each group, they
have practised their speaking skills by retelling the story in the correct
sequence of images.
At the end of the
activity the students have stuck the pictures and the sentences in the correct
order to make a poster and reread them aloud in a semicircle.
