Procedures:
I. Warm-up Activity (5 minutes)
Start the class by asking students to briefly share any memorable cooking experiences they've had. This could be anything from baking a cake to preparing a full meal. This activity sets the stage for the topic at hand.
II. Vocabulary Preview (10 minutes)
Introduce key vocabulary related to cooking and success using the whiteboard. Provide students with a list of adverbs of success such as “perfectly,” “skillfully,” “masterfully,” and ask them to use these words in sentences.
III. Reading and Comprehension (15 minutes)
Instruct students to read Section A of the textbook while focusing on the story of someone’s successful cooking experience. After reading, ask comprehension questions to check understanding and to discuss the key details and emotions presented in the narrative.
IV. Grammar Focus (10 minutes)
Review the past simple tense, focusing on regular and irregular verbs. Highlight how past tense is used to narrate events that have already occurred. Give examples from the text and create additional sentences together as a class for practice.
V. Pair Work (10 minutes)
Have students work in pairs to discuss their own successful cooking experiences. Encourage them to describe the dish, the process, and what made it a success using past tense verbs and adverbs of success.
VI. Group Discussion (15 minutes)
In small groups, students discuss the elements that contribute to a successful cooking experience. They should consider factors such as preparation, choice of ingredients, technique, and presentation. Each group will then report back to the class with their ideas.
VII. Writing Activity (15 minutes)
Ask students to write a short paragraph about their own cooking success, using the past tense and adverbs of success learned in class. They should also include a photo or illustration of their dish if possible.
VIII. Assessment (5 minutes)
Assess students through an exit ticket where they write down one thing they learned about using past tense to talk about past events and one question they still have regarding the grammar point.
IX. Homework
For homework, assign students to prepare a recipe that they have successfully cooked before, writing out the steps in English and including any tips for success they might have.
Differentiation:
Students who are struggling with the grammar might benefit from extra practice with past tense verbs. You could provide them with extra worksheets or online resources for additional help. Advanced learners could be encouraged to write more detailed narratives of their cooking experiences, incorporating more complex sentence structures and richer vocabulary.
Conclusion:
This lesson emphasizes the importance of storytelling in learning a language, particularly when it comes to sharing personal experiences. Students practice reading, speaking, and writing skills all centered around the theme of culinary success, which is engaging and relatable for most students. The inclusion of real-life examples helps to solidify grammar concepts and encourages students to share their accomplishments with pride
