Lesson 2: My Presentation - All About Me!

My Presentation: All About Me!

My Word Power! ??

Vocabulary Warm-up (20 minutes)

  • Objective: To pre-teach and practice key vocabulary for the presentation using a phonics-based approach. This builds confidence and helps with pronunciation.
  • Methodology: This section is inspired by the provided phonics workbook. We will group words by sounds and morphemes to help students see patterns.
  • Instructions: Go through each "Sound Group" one by one. Use the "Listen, Point, and Repeat" method for each word.
    1. Say the sound: E.g., "Today, we will learn the '-er' sound. It sounds like /?r/."
    2. Introduce the word: Point to the picture of 'mother'. Say "mother" clearly three times.
    3. Drill: Have the whole class repeat "mother" three times. Then ask individuals.
    4. Connect: Ask a simple question: "Who has a mother?" to make it personal.
    5. Repeat for all words in the group, emphasizing the target sound.
  • Interactive Elements: The star icons ?? are for you to click. They provide visual, animated instructions for students. Use them to guide students through the activities even without speaking. This is great for visual learners and classroom management.

Before we plan our presentation, let's learn some important words. Let's say them loud and clear!

The -er Family Sound ??

Group 1: The "-er" Sound

  • Phonics Focus: The r-controlled vowel /?r/ spelled with 'er'. This is also a great chance to introduce the concept of a suffix that denotes a person/role, although you don't need to use that terminology.
  • Script: "Look at these words! They all end with the same sound. Listen... mother, father, brother, sister. They all have the '-er' /?r/ sound at the end. Let's say them together!"
  • Activity: For the sentence activity, model it first. Say, "Let's make a sentence. I will say... We play together." Then invite students to make their own sentences using the family words, e.g., "This is my sister."

mother

father

brother

sister

Let's make a sentence! ??

This is my ___________ .

The -ing Action Sound ??

Group 2: The "-ing" Suffix

  • Phonics Focus: The common morphological ending '-ing' used for hobbies (gerunds). The key is for them to recognize the sound and spelling pattern of this ending.
  • Script: "Now let's learn about things we like to do! All these words end with '-ing'. Listen... drawing, singing, reading. The sound is /??/. This ending means it's an action! Let's say them."
  • Activity: For the sentence activity, ask students to complete the sentence about themselves. "What do you like? I like reading. What about you, [student name]?" Go around the class and have students say "I like [hobby]."

drawing

singing

reading

swimming

What do you like? ??

I like ___________ .

Important Words! ??

Group 3: Key Vocabulary

  • Focus: These words are essential for the presentation but don't fit a neat phonics group. The goal here is simple recognition and understanding.
  • Script: "Here are some very important words for our presentation. This word is 'friend'. A friend is someone you play with. This word is 'play'. We play with friends. This word is 'share'. Good friends share toys..." Go through each word, explain its meaning simply, and have them repeat.
  • Activity: Read the sentences aloud together as a class. "Let's read sentence number 1: 'We can play together.' Good! Now number 2..." This reinforces the vocabulary in context.

friend

play

share

help

Let's Read! ??

1. We can play together.
2. A good friend can help.
3. It is nice to share.

Lesson Introduction (5 minutes)

  • Objective: Introduce the theme "All About Me" and explain that students will gather ideas for their individual presentation.
  • Connection: Show the PowerPoint title slide. Say, "Hello everyone! Look at these happy children. Today, we will talk about YOU. We just learned some new words. Now, let's use them! What makes you happy? Who is in your family? Who are your friends? We will learn how to tell everyone about ourselves in a great presentation for your parents!"
  • Setup: Ensure this HTML page is projected for the class to see. Explain that this is their "idea book".
Happy children playing

Hello! Today, we will learn how to make a great presentation about a very special person... YOU! Let's find some good ideas to talk about.

Part 1: My Family ???????????

Topic 1: My Family (15 minutes)

  • Goal: Help students identify and describe their family members.
  • Vocabulary Focus: family, mother, father, brother, sister, grandparents. These were just pre-taught. Now is the time for them to apply the knowledge.
  • Activity 1 (Elicit): Show the pictures. Ask, "Is this family big or small?" Point to each picture and have students repeat "small family" and "big family".
  • Activity 2 (Interactive SVG): Click the ??????????? icon. When the family tree popup appears, model it for them. Point to the figures and say, "This is me. This is my mother. This is my father." Then, get students to do the 'call to action': ask them to draw their own family on a mini-whiteboard or in their notebooks.
  • Presentation Practice: Provide these sentence starters on the board for them to practice:
    • This is my family.
    • I have a [mother], a [father], and...
    • My family makes me feel [happy / loved].

Different Families

Some children live in a small family with their parents, brothers, and sisters.

Other children live in a big family with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins too!

Every family is special.

What our family gives us ??

In our family, we feel safe and loved. Our family helps us and takes care of us. They make us feel happy!

  • Script: Point to the family tree icon and ask, "What can you talk about with this picture?" (Elicit: My family, mother, father...). Then point to the heart icon and ask, "And this one? What feeling?" (Elicit: love, happy, safe). This quickly checks if they understood the two key ideas for this section of their presentation.

Part 2: My Friends ????????

Topic 2: My Friends (15 minutes)

  • Goal: Help students talk about their friends and the activities they do together.
  • Vocabulary Focus: friend, play, share, help, good friend. Reinforce the words from the "Important Words!" group.
  • Activity 1 (Brainstorm): Ask students, "Who is your best friend?" and "What do you play with your friends?" Write their ideas (e.g., football, games, Lego, dolls) on the board.
  • Activity 2 (Interactive SVG): Click the ???????? icon. When the popup with the two friends playing appears, ask students to point to the activity they like to do. "Do you play ball? Do you read books?" Encourage them to use the phrase "I play...".

    • This is my best friend, [name].
    • We like to [play football] together.
