Lesson 2: My Presentation Script

My Presentation Script: All About Me

Lesson Objective & Overview

Goal: Students will learn key vocabulary through phonics and then use it to draft and practice the first three parts of their "All About Me" presentation: the introduction, a personal "fact file," and a section about their family.

Method: This handout is a complete lesson flow. Start with the Phonics Fun section to pre-teach vocabulary and build pronunciation confidence. Then, move to the script template. Model each sentence structure, guide students to fill in their own information, and use the interactive visual aids to reinforce concepts and vocabulary. The focus is on building confidence through structured practice.

Pacing:

  • Phonics Fun (15 mins)
  • Part 1: Introduction (5-7 mins)
  • Part 2: My Fact File (15-20 mins)
  • Part 3: My Family (10-15 mins)

Let's Learn Our Words! (Phonics Fun)

How to use this Phonics Section

Purpose: This section is crucial for your weaker students. It directly teaches the sounds and words they will need for their presentation script. By learning the words in sound groups, they can improve pronunciation and remember vocabulary more easily.

Instructions:

  1. Introduce the Sound: For each unit, point to the "Sound Focus" box. Say the sound clearly (e.g., "ay makes the /eɪ/ sound"). Have students repeat it 3 times.
  2. Drill the Words: Go through each word card. Say the word, have the class repeat (choral drilling). Then, ask individual students to say the word. Use the interactive trigger (🔊) to show a visual and reinforce the meaning.
  3. Practice the Sentence: Read the practice sentence aloud. Have students repeat it. Ask them to think of their own sentence using one of the words.

Part 1: Introduction

Teaching the Introduction

Script: "Good morning, everyone! You know some new words now. Let's use them! The first part is the introduction. It's how we say hello! Let's practice. I'll go first: 'Hello, my name is [Your Name]. I live in Hong Kong.' Now, you try!'"

Activity:

  1. Model the two sentences clearly. Write them on the board.
  2. Have the whole class repeat after you (choral drilling).
  3. Ask students to pair up and practice introducing themselves to their partner. Walk around and listen, offering corrections.
  4. Use the interactive icons (🧐) to visually explain what each part means. Click on them and ask students what they see.

Greeting: "Hello," 🧐
Your Name: "my name is ." 🧐
Location: "I live in ." 🧐

Part 2: My Fact File

Teaching the Fact File

Connection: "Great! Now let's tell everyone some cool facts about you! This is your 'Fact File'. It's like your super-hero profile. We will fill this in together."

Activity:

  1. Go through each item one by one. For each, provide the sentence starter. For example, for 'age', say "The sentence is 'I am ___ years old.' How old are you? Let's write it down."
  2. Encourage students to draw their picture. This is a fun, low-pressure start.
  3. Use the interactive icons (🧐) for each point. Click on them to show the visual cue. Ask students, "What is this? Right, it's a birthday cake! So what do we say here?" This helps them connect the concept to the language.
  4. For "likes" and "dislikes", brainstorm some simple ideas on the board (e.g., Foods: apples, pizza; Activities: football, drawing; Colours: blue, red). Refer back to the phonics words they just learned!
  5. After filling out the section, use the final checkmark icon (✅) to review.

Let's make a 'fact file' about you. Fill in the blanks!

Part 3: My Family

Teaching "My Family"

Script: "Everyone has a family. Families can be big or small. Let's learn two words for two kinds of families. Look at the pictures."

Activity:

  1. Show the two family types. Use the SVGs to help. Ask: "Who is in the first picture? Mum, dad, child. Small family." Then, "Who is in the second picture? Grandad, grandma... many people! Big family."
  2. Introduce the key vocabulary: "nuclear family" and "extended family". Have them repeat the words.
  3. Ask students about their own families. "Raise your hand, who lives with your grandparents?" This helps them connect the concept to their lives.
  4. Model the sentence starters: "I have a [small/big] family." and "In my family, there are [number] people: my..."
  5. Finally, teach the sentence "In my family, I feel safe and loved." Explain what "safe" and "loved" mean with gestures (a hug, a shield). Use the interactive icon to reinforce this emotional concept.
  6. Use the final checkmark icon (✅) for a quick review of the family icons.

Your family is special. Some families are small. Some families are big.

Nuclear Family

A family with parents and children.

🧐

Extended Family

A family with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins too.

🧐

In my family, I feel safe and loved. 🧐
