This document outlines a lesson plan in English with ICT integration that teaches students to distinguish between big ideas and small ideas. The lesson plan has the objectives of helping students learn to correctly distinguish small from big ideas, write small ideas under their corresponding big ideas and vice versa, and provide examples of small ideas for a given big idea. The lesson will include presentations, discussions, and activities analyzing sets of words and grouping them under appropriate big ideas. Students will then practice this skill by providing their own examples of small ideas under given big ideas.

What Do Ants Look Like?
Ants are small insects. The smallest ants are 0.03 inch (0.7 millimeter) long.
They are hard to see! The biggest ants are almost 1 inch ( 3 centimeters) long.
An ant’s body looks like it has very thin waist. The narrow waist lets the ant
bend when it goes around turns in underground tunnels.
An ant has a mouth with three parts. The most important mouthparts are
its jaws. Ants can move them from side to side. They use their jaws for digging,
carrying things, collecting food, building nests. Fighting, and cutting. Ants use their
lower jaws for chewing. They use their tongues to suck up liquids.
2.Values Integration
What would you do if you see ants carrying food? Why? What do you do to the animals around?
3. Analysis and Discussion

What is the main idea of the selection? Which sentences give the details of the main idea?
Sets of words are presented. Let the pupils analyze them.

In organizing ideas, all small ideas which belong to the main idea should be grouped together.
