Capstone Project 1 - Warm-up Activity

This is for a writing prompt in the course: Teach English Now! Capstone Project 1 by Arizona State University through Coursera. 

Hopefully, you've taken some time to think of a warm up activity for your new lesson. Remember a good warm-up activity accomplishes the 3 following tasks:

  • stimulates recall of prior learning

  • introduces new ideas

  • connects these new ideas to prior learning.

Be sure to provide the following:

  • clear content (write all aspects of the warm up, including the vocabulary, materials, and time spent on the activity. All additional resources should be included when possible (quizzes, pictures, PowerPoint, etc.)).

  • easy to understand language

  • engaging activities.

LESSON 1

Warm-up Activity

  • Teacher will present a photo of his family and talk about them with model sentences:

    • This is my family

    • I have two brothers

    • My mother works as a businesswoman

    • My father is a professional football player

    • My older brother likes taking photos

    • My younger brother plays tennis

    • We have two dogs

  • Ask which of the students have brothers/sisters. Select a few students and ask them what their brothers/sisters like to do. Ask which of the students have a parent that is still working. Select a few students to ask what their parents’ jobs are.

  • Explain the basic sentence structure -- S V O

  • List the sentences you used as model sentences and identify the subject, verb and object.

  • From the practice list, ask students to identify which is the subject, verb and object.

** This is the slides I have created for this warm-up activity. If any more is needed to be added in the slides, I’d add it up here for this lesson.
