30. Lesson plan ideas
A. Skippy the monkey - TPR technique
Aim: to introduce new vocab / to revise vocab related to daily routines; to develop listening skills.
Procedure:
1. T invites Ss to listen to the story of Skippy, the monkey and do the same gestures like the teacher. T tells
the story (see the script on page 29). T and Ss perform task.
2. T invites Ss to tell the story together, while performing the actions. T - Ss say & do.
3. Ss are asked to re-tell the story, using gestures. T performs the actions but remains quiet. Ss say & do.
4. Feedback: T asks individual Ss to perform certain actions. (e.g. „He runs to the bus stop.” „He climbs the
banana tree.” “He goes to bed.”)
B. Error correction game, drills (using ppt presentation ‘Skippy the Monkey’)
Aim: to consolidate use of Present Simple (affirmative and negative, 3 rd person singular), and develop
reading skills.
Procedure:
1. T informs Ss that they are going to play a game. T plays ppt and reads the story of Skippy, the monkey,
that contains deliberate mistakes. Ss must notice the mistakes and correct them, while showing surprise.
(e.g. T – „It is 8 o’clock. He wakes up.” Ss – Ss „(Hahn! It isn’t 8 o’clock. It is 7 o’clock.” ; T – „He jumps on
the table.” Ss – „Hahn! He doesn’t jump on the table. He jumps out of bed.”)
2. After several slides, when the Ss become confident, Ss invites one student at a time to read the wrong
sentences and the procedure continues as described above.
3. T invites Ss to re-tell the true story of Skippy, the monkey, using the adequate gestures.
4. Follow-up - T gives Ss handouts they have to cut and fold according to the T’s instructions. Ss make
minibook (page 31). Ss are asked to be creative and write a story entitled “A day in the life of a penguin” in
their minibooks. (e.g. It is 8 o’clock. Pingu wakes up. He goes for a swim then he has breakfast: fish and
milk. He goes out to play. He has a ball. ...)
5. In pairs, Ss discuss ideas they are going to use in their compositions. They start writing individually and
continue their stories at home.
