This lesson (the 3rd lesson for my second grade high school students) follows on from the second lesson "Hope for Japan", but it works very well as a stand-alone lesson too. The topic for today is 'Charity'. At first I was worried about how this would go down with the learners, but it was very well received.
Basic lesson plan:
- Greet students and chat for a few minutes about news in their lives. (We chat like this every week).
- Introduce the slang of the day. Today the slang in B.O. (Body Odour). The students receive hints and clues and have to guess what B.O. stands for. The best answer - Barack Obama.
- The lesson. I chose not to introduce the topic at the beginning of the lesson and went straight to the first slide. All the slides have ONLY the logos and names of the respective charities. After seeing a logo the students guess the name, once they have managed to do that you can explain what the charity is about. We even ended up playing charades at some point to get them to guess the correct answers. After the last charity logo, ask them what all those logos represent, and move on to the next part of the lesson.
- There is a GREAT website called www.freerice.com . It is a site that supports the World Food Programme. (Select English Vocab as the subject and have the teams compete against each other to see how much rice they are able to donate).
- Wrap it up with a quick recap of what charity is and why it is important, and don't forget to thank them for the charity that THEY had done.
