Module 5

Hi everyone.

My students have created different stories in groups.

This is my planning:

LESSON PLAN-DIGITAL STORYTELLING

1-Description of the lesson plan

Age and timing:
  • This lesson plan is addressed to 10 or 11-year-old students learning English as a foreign language (5th grade at Elementary school)
  • 50-minute period: 11:10-12:00. Three days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays).
  • Schedule: 3rd term of the year.

Description of the Class:
  • Background: 25 students who are most of them middle-class. There are two students with special needs.

Aims:
-The aims that are expected to be achieved with this lesson plan are:
  • Getting to know a piece of information about how to create collaborative stories.
  • Pronouncing correctly verbs into the past.
  • Going over topics as fairy tales, stories, …
  • Getting to know the structures of past simple

General description:
  • This is a 4-day lesson plan which belongs to a term theme:  “Telling Stories-Past Simple”.
  • Before these sessions, we have done: grammar structures with “past simple”. Vocabulary: tales and words related to this topic like monster, princess, prince, witch, wizard, castle,
  • This lesson plan shows how to create stories using a specific grammar structure. The aim is trying to introduce this topic to the students and in the following years, they should be able to use this structure without any kind of problems

Material:
  • Flashcards, laptop computer, projector.

Functions, sub-skills and situations:
  • Being conscious about ICT and its educational possibilities.
  • Learning to work in groups and to respect the other classmates.

Methodology:
  • Teacher plays a role as an animator and as a controller as well.


Session 1:
-TR shows SS the book creator explaining the story of Mary, a girl who has never read a book or nobody told her a story
-TR explains SS that they have to create in groups of 5 a story to tell to Mary using past simple, the last grammar point worked in class.
-They have to create a story using comic life, a tool where the main characters are themselves. They took pictures of themselves. They can bring clothes to dress up to create the characters.
-SS make groups themselves groups of five, with the help of the TR
-SS start to create the story, writing the main parts in the notebook

Session 2:

 IMPLEMENTATION

-Session 1

Students seem really interested by the story of Mary and they are really happy because they are going to use the laptops to create a story. There wasn’t any problem when they joined in groups
-Session 2
Although they were more interested in the clothes they had to bring, they finished the story. They use the past simple correctly but I had to help them with the vocabulary

-Session 3
To take the pics, they use a camera I brought. This day the class was a mess because they went in and out in order to dress up. I was really surprised because they had prepared their characters very good.

-Session 4
The session was a success and they enjoyed telling the stories to the rest of the class. The problem under my point of view was that they forgot about Mary but the result was perfect and they encouraged with the activity.
