My Presentation Planner: All About Me!

My Presentation Planner: All About Me!

💡 Overall Lesson Objective & Strategy

Goal: To help students gather and structure personal information for their individual presentation. This worksheet serves as a pre-writing and brainstorming tool, scaffolding their ideas from simple concepts (family, friends) to personal attributes (talents, likes).

Your Role: You are a facilitator. First, use the new **Vocabulary Warm-up** section to pre-teach and drill key words, focusing on pronunciation. Then, guide students through each planning section, encouraging them to think about their own lives. Use the interactive triggers (💡, ❓) to provide visual aids and conduct quick comprehension checks. The end goal is for each student to have a set of simple sentences they can use to build their presentation script.

Pacing: Spend about 20-25 minutes on the Vocabulary Warm-up. Then, spend about 15-20 minutes on each of the three main planning sections. Encourage pair-sharing before asking students to speak to the whole class to build confidence.

Let's Learn Our Presentation Words! 🗣️

🧑‍🏫 Teaching Guide: Vocabulary Warm-up

Objective: To pre-teach essential vocabulary for the presentation, focusing on correct pronunciation using a phonics-based approach. Since students are weak, building this foundation is crucial for their confidence.

Methodology: Go through each phonics group.
1. Introduce the Sound: Click the trigger icon (🔊) to show the "Say it loud!" popup. Model the target sound clearly (e.g., /eɪ/, /iː/). Have the whole class repeat after you (choral drilling).
2. Introduce the Words: Point to each word card. Say the word clearly and have students repeat. Connect the word to the picture.
3. Sentence Practice: Model a simple sentence using the word. For example, "My name is...". Have students repeat the sentence frame.
4. Reinforce: After each group, quickly point to the pictures and elicit the words from the students. This builds active recall.

Part 1: My Family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🧑‍🏫 Teaching Guide: Part 1 - My Family

Objective: Students will identify their family members and express how their family makes them feel, using simple sentences.

Step 1 (5 mins): Start with a warm-up. Ask "Who is in your family?". Use the pictures to introduce/review vocabulary: parents, brother, sister, grandparents.

Step 2 (10 mins): Focus on the concept of 'belonging'. Read the text "Our family is where we belong..." aloud. Ask students how their family makes them feel. Click the lightbulb icon (💡) to show the visual prompt. Model the sentence: "My family makes me feel safe and loved." Have students repeat and personalize it.

Step 3 (5 mins): Use the "Let's Check!" trigger (❓) as a mini-quiz. Point to the icons in the popup and ask students "What does this mean?" or "What can you say in your presentation?". This reinforces the connection between the idea and the language needed to express it.

Who is in my family?

Some children live with their parents, brothers and sisters. This is their family.

Other children live with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins too. This is their family.

What our family gives us 💡

Our family is where we belong. In our family we feel safe and loved. In a family we learn how to live together.

Part 2: My Friends 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

🧑‍🏫 Teaching Guide: Part 2 - My Friends

Objective: Students will identify their friends and describe shared activities.

Step 1 (5 mins): Transition smoothly by saying, "Great! After you talk about your family, you can talk about your friends!" Ask the class, "What makes someone a friend?".

Step 2 (10 mins): Use the prompt question and its trigger (💡). The visual will prompt them to think about 'who' their friends are and 'what' they do. Model sentences: "My best friend is [Name]. We like to play [activity]." Encourage students to turn to a partner and share their answers first.

Step 3 (5 mins): Do the "Let's Check!" activity (❓) to reinforce the key concepts for this section of their presentation.

It is good to have friends!

We like to spend time with our friends. We can share our feelings with our close friends. They can help us and support us.

We have friends at school, and maybe in other places like a sports team.

Part 3: All About Me! ⭐

🧑‍🏫 Teaching Guide: Part 3 - All About Me

Objective: Students will describe themselves using key facts, likes, dislikes, and talents.

Step 1 (5 mins): Announce the final part of the presentation planner. "Now, the most important part... YOU!". Explain that they will talk about what makes them special.

Step 2 (15 mins): Go through the "My Fact File" list. For each point, model a full sentence. For "Talents," click the trigger (💡) to show the icons and help them brainstorm. Say, "Are you good at drawing? Soccer? Reading? Music?". Help them form the sentence "I am good at..." This is the core scripting part of the lesson. Circulate and provide individual help.

Step 3 (5 mins): Use the final "Let's Check!" (❓) to review all the icons from the entire worksheet. This is a great summative assessment to see if they remember the key components of their planned presentation.

People have different talents 💡

People are good at different things. We all enjoy doing different things. A mixture of people makes life interesting. Everybody is special!
