***HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL!!! I’ve passed the course in January 2022 with MERIT. Before uploading my assignment, I made all the necessary corrections and modifications according to the teacher’s feedback, so it must be (almost) perfect. You can use this material as a reference for your own assign...
Assignment A
Text 1 – Elementary
This part of the assignment focuses on stage 5 of an elementary reading lesson.
You should plan a 15-minute follow-on stage consisting of two short communicative speaking tasks, which will require the use of
some of the vocabulary in the text for the final stage of the lesson.
Include any necessary references in the bibliography template. See 'Referencing' document for advice on what is required.

Class: Elementary (A1) 12 adults (6M, 6F), age range 25-56. Most of the students want to learn English because they feel it will improve
their job prospects. Three are learning for recreational reasons.
21st Century Dad
Bobbie and Moira Fernandez got married 6 years ago when they were 24 years old. Their daughter, Addison, was born 3 years later. Their baby son,
Remy, is 15 months old.
Bobbie worked in a library, and Moira is an engineer. Moira loves her work, so Bobbie left his job. He stays at home with the children. We asked
Bobbie about his day.
“Well, we get up when Remy wakes us up, which is usually at about half past six in the morning. Moira takes a shower and has breakfast while I look
after the children. Moira leaves the house at 7.30. Addison's kindergarten is close to our house. Usually Addison walks, and I carry the baby. When
we are late, I put them in the buggy, or take them on my bike.
After that, I often take Remy to the park by the river. He loves to see the boats and ducks on the river. We sometimes take some food for the ducks.
He likes the swings in the children's playground. I usually meet other parents and babies there, so I can have a chat with them.
On Wednesdays I collect Addison from kindergarten at 12.30. Then we go to the market to buy food. Moira always goes to the supermarket on
Saturday morning. We don't have a car, so we can't do all the shopping on one day.
In the afternoons the children have a nap, and I clean and tidy the house. I cook the evening meal every day except Friday. On Fridays my wife
normally cooks, but occasionally we go out for a meal or get a takeaway.
I enjoy being a stay-at-home dad. It's hard work, and sometimes it's boring. But it's great fun to watch your children grow up. We are very happy.”
,Lesson Outline:
Your lesson follows this procedure, and you have allocated these timings:
1. Lead into topic (warmer) - 10 mins
2. Vocabulary pre-teaching - 15 mins
3. First reading - 5 mins
4. Second reading - 15 mins
5. Follow-on activities (two communicative speaking tasks) - 15 mins
You need to show what you would do for stage 5 of the lesson.
Lesson Aims:
Enable students to skim for gist, scan for detail and read a text intensively to achieve a thorough understanding.
To reinforce the use of present simple for routines and frequency adverbs through seeing them in context.
Extend and practise productive spoken use of vocabulary related to family and daily routines.
1. Follow-on Activities – Materials
In this space, insert any materials you would use: e.g., visual aids, worksheets, what you would write on the board, etc.
If you use images, do not use more than 6. These do not need to be the actual size you would use in the classroom.
If you prefer, you can submit the images in a separate document, but please label them clearly IMAGES FOR FOLLOW-ON.
To start the follow-on activities, the teacher will write “My day” in the middle of the board and divide the space below the title into three
parts writing in the morning/ in the afternoon/in the evening (creating the similar speaking card that the students will be working with).
Then, in order to model the activity, the teacher tells the students that she is going to tell them something about her personal experience,
about her normal weekday and what she usually does during the day. The goal is to show the students that this activity has meaning by
presenting it in meaningful context and connect it to real life situations. That is to say, the teacher tries to make students realize that this
activity is meaningful as well as functional.
