Exemplar Lesson Plan

I'm happy to say that the lesson plan about the places in a town I carried out last year with my Class 5 pupils has been recognised as an excellent innovative example among numerous lesson plans (500+) and won the second prize in the international competition organised by Eduka Publishing Company.

All the winning and commended lesson plans were collected, published online and promoted on 26 October at the Book Fair in Belgrade.

Favourite Possessions

 Think about your favourite possession.

• What is it? How long have you had it? Was it a gift or did you buy it?
• What does it look like? How big is it and what is it made of?
• What do you do with it? Where do you keep it?
• Why is it so special? 

My favourite possession is my stuffed animal Mr Turtle.
He's a pillow, green and yellow, and kind of big. Mr Turtle has black eyes. His favourite colour is green. His bff is Kitty. She is on the bed with Mr Turtle.
I sleep with him every night.
I got him for my birthday from my cousin.
Mr Turtle's awesome!

My favourite possession is my schoolbag. It holds my books, pencils, my pencil case and my tests.
My bag is blue, black and purple. It has cats and dogs on it. My bag isn't small, but it isn't big either. My mum and dad got it for my beginning of the school year.
I think my bag is so cool!

Marija, IV3

My favourite possession is my stuffed koala. She's pink and white, and she has got black eyes. She has got a huge smile.
I like sleeping with her when I am not well. Koala is bald and she has got very big ears.
I like throwing her in the air.
She is awesome and cute.

Teja, IV3

My favourite possession is my teddy bear Mr Huggy.
His nose is big and brown, and his eyes are black. He is very fluffy and big.
Mr Huggy likes honey and to scare me, but sometimes he surprises me with something. He is there when I need him. He is the king of the kingdom of stuffed animals and I love him.

My Favourite Sandwich

 Food is one of my pupils' most favourite topics. They can name different types of food, use them in role play dialogues in a restaurant or shop, but some still have problems with writing the words or identifying them as countable or uncountable. That's why I asked my Class 4 pupils to make their favourite sandwich at home, describe it in writing, bring it to school and present it to their peers. It turned out that the combination of sour cream and salami or sausages is No. 1.

They enjoyed the activity and I hope it'll make the grammar bit clearer to them.
