    Sample Lesson Plan

    (Primary level)
    The Literature lesson
    What literary element do you want to teach? Is your focus on the aesthetic or efferent aspect
    of literature? These are questions you will need to consider before planning your lesson. The
    curriculum objectives are equally important as they will help to determine the content and
    focus of your lesson. The following is a sample literature lesson with a commentary to guide
    you:

    Sample Literature Lesson


    Class: Standard 4

    Curriculum objective: Listen attentively to identify and discuss story elements – plot,
    atmosphere, setting, characterization, dialogue, climax and anticlimax.
    (This is not necessarily a part of the lesson plan but has been included to
    remind you to make the link between the curriculum objectives and your
    lesson and unit plans.)

    Time: 25 minutes

    Teaching Point: Character traits can be revealed by the character’s actions.


    (Notice that the teaching point is a statement of ‘the big idea’ that
    students should learn by the end of the lesson.)

    Pre-knowledge: Students are familiar with characters in stories and can describe their
    physical appearance. They can trace the plot of stories.
    (The pre-knowledge should relate to the skills or concepts to be developed
    in the lesson.)

    Resources: Video clip; extract from Charlotte’s Web.

    Objectives: At the end of the lesson students will:


    1. Discuss traits of the character in the extract that are revealed through
    actions.
    2. Apply the experiences of characters with situations with which they are
    familiar.
    3. Offer views on the character’s actions.
    (Remember that your objectives should be expressed in behavioural
    terms. Refer to the note on the taxonomies of educational objectives that
    has been uploaded on the course page for assistance with writing
    objectives.)
    Procedure
    Set Induction Teacher shows a 2 minute video clip and questions students on the
    characters involved to determine their traits. (The set induction provides
    a link with students’ pre-knowledge and the lesson.)

    Step 1 – Teacher reads the story while students follow silently.


    Step 2 - Teacher introduces the idea that character traits that can be inferred by a character’s
    actions. Teacher uses one paragraph of the extract and models, using leading questions,
    how the character’s actions can reveal information about him/her.
    Step 3 – Teacher questions students on other actions to elicit what they reveal about the
    character.
    Step 4 – Students work in small groups to identify other character traits from another extract.
    While students work the teacher monitors the students and provides guidance.
    Students present their ideas to the class.
    Step 5 – Teacher questions students on what characters’ actions can reveal about themselves
    or their experiences with people.

    (Remember that the steps should be logical and should be detailed enough to explain how you
    will teach the lesson. The steps should lead to the achievement of the lesson objectives.)

    Student activities Read the story for efferent and aesthetic purposes.
    Infer character traits from the character’s actions and justify their choices
    with evidence from the story.
    Relate incidents from their experiences that demonstrate character
    traits.

    Closure Students will suggest how they can determine character traits.

    Evaluation strategies
    1. Recognize character traits by exploring the character’s actions.
    2. Express opinions on character’s behaviours.

    Contingency plan If students are unable to provide appropriate character traits, the teacher
    will assist with the vocabulary.
    (The contingency plan anticipates challenges that can occur during the
    lesson and suggests ways of dealing with them. Note that this can refer to
    gaps in students’ learning that may have to be addressed to help students
    learn the skills or concepts.)
