Topic: Using line graphs to report on product performance
Write a lesson plan for a telephone class, and we're going to give you a lot of information about what you need to include, as well as a demonstration class to help you with ideas.
You must use one of these topics for your lesson - remember you need to use only one of these:
-Choosing and applying for a job
-The job interview
-Improving your listening skills on the telephone
-Politely interrupting on the telephone
-Dealing with a telephone complaint
NOTE: remember to make sure your target language is 8 to 10 useful phrases for the topic you choose. So, give these to your students in the before stage.
Now you need to write your lesson plan. Here are a few important things to remember.
1. Use a before/during/after lesson plan.
This means that:
Before - you need to send your student some activities to do connected to the theme you have chosen to prepare them for the lesson. You could use a text or a listening resource here, or perhaps ask them to prepare some ideas or do some research before the lesson. Remember though sometimes a student won't have time to do this so make sure your lesson isn't solely based around them having completed these activities.
During - this is the lesson itself and for this lesson is 30 minutes long. This should be mainly speaking and listening based and you will need enough activities to last 30 minutes. Aim for as much STT as possible and remember to add timings to each individual activity you have here.
After - give your student something to do after class based on what you have done in the lesson, perhaps a writing activity.
2. You must use your own resources here.
Using texts and other resources is acceptable but please reference them and you must create any exercises and activities you use yourself.
3. Make sure your lesson is suitable for the level of your student.
4. The word count for your lesson plan is 600 words.
Activity 1:
After initial pleasantries, share your screen with the student to show the line graphs you sent them and ask the student to describe them using the glossary terms. Help as needed throughout the activity and go through any vocabulary the student didn't know.
Activity 2:
Highlight on screen individual points on a line graph and ask the student to describe them - e.g. "there's a trough in August", "the line peaks in the middle of December" etc. Encourage them to use sentences rather than just individual words.
Activity 3:
Now use the line graphs the student sent you. The student should describe the performance of a product as shown on their graphs using full sentences - e.g. sales of the product climbed from January to March and then peaked at the beginning of April. They can add extra information to explain why each of these trends happened - e.g. This is because the company had a large marketing campaign from January to February which resulted in extra sales. Help the student correct mistakes with the glossary terms as you go and take notes on any other mistakes (pronunciation, lexis, etc) as you go.
Then make statements about the graphs, e.g. sales dropped in March - the student should decide if the statements are true or false, and if true, decide which graph you are referring to.
Activity 4:
Ask the student how well they think they did in the activity - were there any terms they could use in place of the ones they chose? Are there any they think they used incorrectly? Run through the notes you took as the student was speaking. Highlight the errors they made and see if the student can correct the mistakes themselves. Don't forget to praise them on what they did well too!
Set the after-class activities.
