(W, P) Warm up: Students make a list of TV programmes, e.g. documentaries, sci-fi, reality show and others. Then you can compile one single list of TV programmes on the board. Ask students to discuss the following questions in pairs: Which TV programmes do you like best? Which do you not like at all? What types of programme are most popular in our country? What types of programme does our nation make well? (G, I) Listening and Speaking (Jigsaw Reading). Formative assessment: Students are divided into three groups and they are given three different texts. They should read the text and discuss it with their groupmates. They need to focus on the following aspects: What is interactive programme/makeover programme/fly-on-the-wall documentaries? Students should attempt to come up with definition of the programme after reading examples. Give specific information about the programme. Differentiation: If students struggle to give a definition of a programme, you can give them the definition and ask them to discuss it. Students from three different groups are grouped together and they need to summarize the text and explain what type of TV programme they have. Other students should listen, take notes in their worksheet and ask for clarifications if necessary. Students should not read the text, they should summarize the key information and explain the type of TV programme. (P,G,W) Discussion questions: Hang flipcharts on the wall and ask students to walk around the class, talk with classmates and write their ideas on flipcharts: Think of two positive effects of having more TV programmes on offer. Think of two negative results for people watching more TV. Is having a TV in your bedroom a bad thing? Why? Why not? Observe students discussing questions in groups or in pairs. Fill in the formative speaking assessment form and provide feedback for students. Teachers can adapt rubrics if necessary. |
