My Presentation Plan - Teacher's Edition

My Presentation Plan

Let's prepare an amazing presentation about YOU!

🗣️ Let's Learn Our Words! (Phonics Power-Up)

Vocabulary Warm-up: Phonics Approach

Time: 15-20 minutes

Objective: To pre-teach and practice the pronunciation of key vocabulary needed for the presentation script. By grouping words based on common phonics sounds (e.g., long 'a', long 'e'), we help students decode words more easily and build pronunciation confidence.

Execution Steps:

  1. Introduce the concept: "Before we write, let's learn some power words! We will look at words that have the same sound to make them easy to say."
  2. Go through each "Sound Group" one by one.
  3. For each group:
    • Announce the target sound clearly (e.g., "This is the long 'ay' sound, like in 'play'.").
    • Choral Drill: Point to each word card, say the word, and have the class repeat. Do this 2-3 times. Emphasize the common sound.
    • Individual Practice: Ask a few students to say one or two words.
    • Use the clickable triggers (🗣️) as a fun way to reinforce meaning. Click one and say, "What's this? It's a cake! Let's say cake!" The popups are designed to guide them even if you don't give instructions.
    • Move to the "Let's Make Sentences" part. Read the gapped sentence and ask students which word fits best. This puts the vocabulary into context.
  4. Keep it fast-paced and energetic! The goal is familiarity and confidence, not mastery at this stage.

Sound Group 1: The Long 'a' sound (ay / a_e)

These words have the same sound in the middle! It sounds like the letter 'A'. Listen: play, day, say, name, game, cake.

play 🗣️
day 🗣️
say 🗣️
HelloMy name is...
name 🗣️
game 🗣️
cake 🗣️

Let's Make Sentences!

1. My is Sam.

2. I with friends.

3. We eat on my birth.

Sound Group 2: The Long 'e' sound (ee / ea)

Listen to the sound in these words. It's a long 'eeee' sound! feel, eat.

feel 🗣️
eat 🗣️

Let's Make Sentences!

1. I happy.

2. I like to noodles.

Sound Group 3: The Long 'i' sound (i_e)

This 'magic e' at the end makes the 'i' say its name! like, write.

like 🗣️
write 🗣️

Let's Make Sentences!

1. I drawing.

2. I my plan.

Overall Lesson Objective

Goal: To guide students in structuring the content for their individual English presentation. The lesson will break down the presentation into two key parts: "About Me" and "My Special Day."

Method: We will adapt content from the textbook to create simple, structured plans (or "scripts") that students can practice. The focus is on building confidence by providing clear, achievable steps. These materials are designed for Primary 3-4 ESL students in a 30-person class setting, preparing them for a presentation in front of parents.

Key Skills: Brainstorming personal information, organizing ideas sequentially, using simple sentence structures, and oral practice.

Part 1: All About Me!

Part 1 Guidance: "All About Me"

Time: 25-30 minutes

Objective: Students will create a simple 'fact file' about themselves which will serve as the script for the first part of their presentation.

  1. Introduction (5 mins): Start with a warm-up. Ask the class, "What makes you special?" Elicit simple answers like "I can run fast," "I like drawing," "I have a brother." Introduce the idea that everyone is different and special. Remind them of the words they just learned, like "like" and "play".
  2. Introduce "My Presentation Plan" (5 mins): Explain that the "Activities" box is their "secret plan" or "map" to make a great presentation. Frame it as filling in puzzle pieces about themselves.
  3. Guided Practice (10-15 mins): Go through each point in the "My Presentation Plan" box.
    • For each point, click the emoji trigger (e.g., ✏️) to show the visual prompt. Ask the whole class the question shown in the prompt (e.g., "What is your name?").
    • Model your own answers on the board. For example, write "My name is Mr. Chan," "I am 9 years old," etc. This provides a clear sentence structure for them to follow.
    • Encourage students to draw their picture first, then write. For weaker students, focus on one-word answers or simple phrases. Walk around and assist.
  4. Understanding Check (5 mins): Use the "Let's Check!" button. Project the popup and ask students to identify what each icon means. This reinforces the vocabulary and concepts.

People have their own personality. This is what makes you, YOU! People are also good at different things. These are your talents. A mix of different people makes the world interesting. Everyone is special!

My Presentation Plan

Let's make a 'fact file' for your presentation. This will be your script!

1
My Picture & Name: Draw a picture of you. Write your name. ✏️
2
My Age: How old are you? 🎂
3
My Likes: What are two things you like? (e.g., food, games, animals) 👍
4
My Talent: What is one thing you are good at? (e.g., drawing, running, singing) 🌟

Part 2: My Special Day!

Part 2 Guidance: "My Special Day"

Time: 20-25 minutes

Objective: Students will structure a short story about a family celebration to use in their presentation.

  1. Introduction (5 mins): Ask students, "What is a happy day you remember?" or "What is your favourite holiday?". Show the pictures and discuss what is happening (e.g., wedding, Chinese New Year parade). Introduce the word "celebration." Connect back to the phonics words: "Is your special DAY your birthday? Do you eat CAKE? Do you PLAY games?".
  2. Brainstorming with WH-Questions (10 mins): Explain that a good story answers simple questions. Go through the "My Story Plan" questions one by one.
    • Click the emoji triggers to show the visual prompts. Use them to elicit ideas from the class. For example, for "What day?", click the 📅 and ask "Is it your birthday? Christmas? Chinese New Year?".
    • Model a simple story on the board. "My special day is my birthday. I play with my family. We eat cake. I feel very happy." Highlight the vocabulary words they learned.
    • Encourage students to think of one special day and answer the questions. They can draw pictures in the writing area if they struggle with words.
  3. Pair Practice (5-10 mins): Put students in pairs. The activity "Tell a partner what happens" is crucial. Have them use their story plan to tell their partner about their special day. This is low-stakes oral practice.
  4. Understanding Check (5 mins): Use the "Let's Check!" button for this section to review the key storytelling elements (what, who, do, feel).

Families and countries have special days to celebrate. We celebrate when we feel happy, proud, or want to remember something important. Let's talk about a special celebration in your family!

A family celebrating a wedding. A dragon dance parade for National Day.
