Review of the previous session: • Tell ss ‘Let’s sing the Alphabet song’. Play an audio if possible. • Review Activity-B, Page- 6, before tracing and writing the words. [Provide support to them to recall if necessary.] Presentation of the session: • Tell ss that today we are going to learn how to write the words (kitten, ladder, monkey, nest, orange). Make Ss understand that we will write the words by moving our hands. • Now, draw lines on the board (like Activity-C), and write the word ‘kitten’ using dotted lines. Say the word aloud. Tell Ss to look at how you hold the pen/chalk, and write the word. • Then, tell ss ‘Open your book at page 19’. Show the Activity-C, Page-19. Practice activities: • Tell ss to complete tracing the rest dotted words (ladder, monkey, nest, orange) in their book. Monitor the class, and support Ss if necessary. Praise Ss. • Ensure everyone is writing; monitor their writing and provide support if necessary. Praise Ss. Teacher’s Guide- English for Today 36 2024 Assessing learning: • Tell ss that they know how to write the words- ‘kitten, ladder, monkey, nest, orange’. Now, they will do an activity rearranging the letters to make words. Show how to rearrange the first-word ‘ant’ given in Activity-D. Then ask Ss to rearrange the letters for the rest of the words given in Activity-D. Or, provide letter cards/ plastic letters/ wooden letters of the words ‘kitten, ladder, monkey, moon, nest, orange’ in groups, and ask them to rearrange the letters correctly to make words. • Then, invite a few ss in front of the class. Say one word and ask them to write that word on the board. You can invite them randomly to write. Or, ask Ss to write the word individually in their exercise books. • Praise ss at the end. • Assess students using the relevant performance indicators included at the end of the unit. Feedback: Support the students who cannot write the words. Reassess and make sure they are learning. Praise the ss who can do the task. Summary of the session: Now, summarise today’s lesson. Ask ss randomly, ‘What have we learnt today?’ Concluding the session: Now, conclude today’s session by saying, ‘Goodbye, my dear ss. See you in the next class.’
