Checking of students’ exercise books
Revision of verbs-to be, pronouns and ‘don’t, doesn’t and didn’t
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
a) construct simple sentences with 4 or 5 words
b) use second and third person pronouns to construct simple sentences
c) use ‘doesn’t’ with singular pronouns and ‘don’t’ with plural pronouns
d) use ‘didn’t’ to describe events that have passed
LEARNING EMPHASIS
Mastery learning
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
a) The teacher some of the time to review students’ work by commenting on its quality. She uses some time to explain what the students must do in order to do well in English.
b) Then, she asks the students to recap what they have learned in the past two weeks. The students are supposed to say that they have learned how to use pronouns and the forms ‘doesn’t’, ‘don’t’ and ‘didn’t’.
c) Next, the teacher illustrates some examples of these forms that they have learned on the board.
d) After explaining these sentences, the teacher asks the students to come to the front and construct simple sentences that contain at least 4 or 5 words using the forms that they have learned.
e) The teacher checks each student’s sentence and comments on any errors as well how to improve those errors.
f) Before the class ends, the teacher informs the students that they will learn the past tense forms of verbs-to be such as ‘is’ and ‘are’ on Thursday.
REFLECTION
The teacher took one period to check students’ exercise books. She found out that the students did not complete most of the exercise that they have done in the month of June, July and August. Most of the male students have poor concentration in class which led to them not wanting to complete the exercises that the teacher has told them to do. The exercise on sentence construction was also not working well as only 9 students volunteered to write their sentences, Most of them have not understood how to use ‘doesn’t’, ‘don’t’ and ‘didn’t’ correctly. The teacher may need to repeat this topic at another time.

LEARNING EMPHASIS
Mastery learning
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
a) The teacher decides to use PMR Paper 2 examination paper in 2012 and chooses the summary writing exercise for revision in the class.
b) She reads the text in the class while the students listen. Once the reading is done, she asks the students what the text means before she explains further its meaning.
c) Next, the teacher gives the students 5 minutes to identify 5 main ideas from the text. At the end of the time, she calls 5 students to read out the main ideas while she fills in a table that will compare the main ideas and their paraphrased counterparts.
d) Then, the teacher gives them another 10 minutes to try to paraphrase the main ideas. At the end of this time, she calls another 5 students to write their answers on the board before she can check their work.
c) If the students make any errors, the teacher corrects their mistakes. She writes the corrected sentences and fills a table that compares the main ideas and their paraphrased versions.

REFLECTION
This lesson was completed. The two summary writing exercises were completed. But students still need to master paraphrasing skills as they were very dependent on the teacher. This was seen when they could not change sentence structures. However, they still managed to find synonyms to replace some words.

REFLECTION
The students only managed to complete the first summary writing exercise. However, the second summary exercise will be done next week. This is because the teacher needed the students to really understand how to paraphrase the main ideas so that they will not lift any sentences from the given text. The teacher found out that the 3E students could find the synonyms but they still could not change the structure of the original sentence. Only 4 out of 34 students could rewrite a sentence using a different structure. The teacher will need to give more paraphrasing exercise for these students.

This essay will be continued on Friday class where the teacher will also give another similar essay to be done by the students.

REFLECTION
The teacher managed to give sample paragraphs for the introduction and the second paragraphs. Some of the students showed confidence when they could give suitable sentences for the topic sentence and the elaboration. However, most of them needed guidance when it came to writing the example. The teacher found out that they remembered how to conclude each paragraph by stating the comparison between the two places by relating them to the main idea. The students completed the third paragraph in class and the teacher found out that their weakness is mainly focused on writing correct sentence structure and giving strong examples to support their elaborations. The teacher has assigned the fourth and the fifth paragraphs as homework which will be corrected in class on Monday next week.

Learning how to use the past tense form of verbs-to be ‘is’ and ‘are’ which are ‘was’ and ‘were’
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
a) construct simple sentences with 4 or 5 words
b) use second and third person pronouns to construct simple sentences
c) use ‘is’ with singular pronouns and ‘are’ with plural pronouns
d) use ‘was’ and ‘were’  to describe events that have passed
LEARNING EMPHASIS
Mastery learning
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
a) The teacher introduces the lesson by asking the students to identify when to use the verbs-to be ‘is’ and ‘are’. The students are expected to say that ‘is’ is used with singular nouns while ‘are’ is used with plural nouns. This has been taught to them earlier in the year.
b) Then, the teacher further explains that these are verbs-to be in the present tense forms. In order to use these verbs in the past, students must learn their forms in the past tense which are  ‘was’ to signifiy singularity and ‘were’ to signify plurality.
c) The teacher gives some examples to differentiate between verbs-to be in the present and in the past on the board. She asks the students to identify which sentence is in the past and which is in the present.
d) Next, she gives them a fill-in-the-blank exercise where students must use only ‘was’ and  ‘were’.
e) She calls some students to write the answers on the board before checking for any errors. If the students make any mistakes, she explains why it is wrong.
f) Before the class ends, the teacher asks the students to give the past tense forms of ‘is’ and ‘are’.
REFLECTION
The teacher has decided to test students’ understanding of ‘is’ and ‘are’ orally in class by asking them to indentify whether a noun is singular or plural. She found out that more than half of them have forgotten. Therefore, the teacher has decided not to introduce ‘was’ and ‘were’ into this lesson as she gave them an exercise on using ‘is’ and ‘are. From this exercise, she found out that most of them remembered again when they attempted the exercise.

LEARNING EMPHASIS
Mastery learning
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
a) The teacher continues last Thursday’s lesson by revising important differences between verbs-to be in the present and verbs-to be in the past tense.
b) After making sure that the students understand some of the key differences, the teacher gives them 2 exercises with the first exercise is a fill-in-the-blank where the students do another revision on when to use ‘is’ and ‘are’. The second exercise is also a fill-in-the-blank exercise where students are to use either ‘was’ or ‘were’.
c) The teacher gives the students 20 minutes to do this on their own. At the end of the time, she calls a few of them to write their answers on the board.
d) The teacher checks their work and correct any mistakes as well as clarifying anything that the students don’t seem to clearly understand.
e) Before the lesson ends, the teacher asks a few more students to explain when to use ‘was’ and ‘were’ in sentences.
REFLECTION
This lesson was completed. However, only 2 students managed to answer almost all of the blanks correctly. The rest of the class was still making mistakes with ‘was’ and ‘were’ as they always mismatch ‘was’ with plural nouns and ‘were’ with singular nouns. The teacher will repeat this lesson on Monday to make sure the students can use these verbs-to-be correctly when writing essays next week.

REFLECTION
The first essay on opinion was completed. The teacher followed the lesson plan closely where the students were assigned to do the rest of the second essay on opinion at home. The teacher found out that the students remembered to use suitable linkers to begin their content paragraphs and tried to use some phrases that the teacher has given in the first essay on opinion. However, there were still mistakes in their sentence structures and in the vagueness of their elaboration and examples. The teacher needs to see some improvement in students’ work when she checks their work next Tuesday.
