Title: I'm Going to Study Computer Science Section B: Listening and Speaking Lesson Plan
Teaching Objective:
The objective of this lesson is to further develop students' listening and speaking skills as they explore the challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to understand and engage in conversations about the pros and cons of studying computer science.
Key Points:
Identifying and analyzing the challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science.
Expressing opinions on the desirability of studying computer science based on different viewpoints.
Defending opinions with evidence or reasoning.
Challenges:
Helping students understand the complexities and nuances of the subject matter.
Encouraging students to formulate and express their opinions on controversial topics.
Teaching Methods:
Presentations: Provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science, focusing on different viewpoints and perspectives.
Debates: Encourage students to engage in a debate on whether studying computer science is a good choice, exploring both sides of the argument.
Case Studies: Use real-life examples or case studies to illustrate the challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science, helping students gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
Teaching Procedures:
Warm-up: Ask students about their experiences with computer science or technology-related courses or projects. This helps activate their prior knowledge and gets them ready for new content.
Presentation: Introduce the topic of challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science. Provide examples of different viewpoints, such as arguments for and against studying computer science, emphasizing that there are pros and cons to any career choice. Encourage students to take notes on the key points and viewpoints presented
Listening Activity: Play an audio clip from a podcast or video discussing the challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science, focusing on real-life experiences or case studies. Ask students to listen carefully and take notes on the key information they hear about each challenge or opportunity discussed. Encourage them to analyze the information critically.
Debate: Divide students into two groups: one arguing for studying computer science and one arguing against it. Provide them with a list of debating points to support their positions, such as job prospects, salary potential, or personal interest in the subject matter. Encourage them to use evidence or reasoning to support their arguments and engage in constructive debate with the other group.
Feedback and Summary: Facilitate a class discussion on the debate, focusing on the key points raised by both sides. Encourage feedback, questions, and further discussion from other students or the teacher. Help students synthesize different viewpoints and formulate their own opinions on whether studying computer science is a good choice for them personally.
Extension Activities: Provide students with additional resources, such as articles, podcasts, or videos discussing different perspectives on studying computer science. Ask them to read, listen, or watch these materials and then write a reflection on what they learned about the challenges and opportunities in the field of computer science and how it might affect their career choices or personal goals. This helps consolidate learning and encourage further exploration outside of class.
