Stages of the lesson | Planned activities (replace the notes below with your planned activities) | Teacher’s notes |
Greeting | Greet students; students respond to greeting and take their places. Hello, boys and girls! How are you? | |
Warm up | You could provide them with a few key words such as ‘ghosts’, ‘country’, ‘encyclopedia’, ‘fairy tales’ and ‘thieves’. They then have to match the key word to the book on the shelf. | |
Practice | They could then make up their own titles – you could allocate one book to one group if time is an issue, if not it could be interesting to compare the different titles the groups come up with. Once they have the original titles and have a general idea of the content of each of the books you can move onto which one would they want to buy and why? Remember at this stage their choice is only based on part of the cover. | |
| You can lead on from this to do a pre-reading class survey. You could photocopy miniatures of this page and they could cut and stick onto the survey poster the book cover they like the best. You can even come back to this activity post-reading and compare to see if opinions have changed. | |
| They could choose a story from the book and as a group write the continuation or end. They can choose their favourite book at home and do a ‘show and tell’. This can actually make up a large proportion of your project. You can teach them language they need to express how they feel about a book they love with a few key adjectives. If you have a large class this could be done in groups. You could find out what sort of book they want to talk about and arrange the groups so that you have a selection of book types. You may find at this age that there are very similar tastes or a split with girls and boys. You could group together like-minded readers and together they decide why they all like that particular type of book. They could even try to write, as a group, a page long short story. This is obviously aimed at the older primary learners. They could learn about different types (genres) of books and complete an updated version of the earlier class chart and see if they all still prefer the same genre of book as before. | |
