StageTimeActivitiesLearning OutcomesAdaptation for 1st Grade
Present15 minInitial Reflection & Question:<br>“Have you ever helped at home? What rooms do you know?”Students begin thinking about their homes and prior knowledge.Use simple language, visual aids, and encourage sharing with basic sentences.
Collect10 minPrior Knowledge Activity:<br>- Show flashcards of house parts (kitchen, bathroom, etc.).<br>- Ask: “Do you know this? What is it?”Assess existing vocabulary and understanding.Use colorful images, simple questions, and gestures.
Formulate10 minIdentify the Problem:<br>“Today, we will learn to talk about our houses and where our family members are.”Clear understanding of the activity goal.Use visual summaries, emphasize the question words.
Organize10 minGroup Work & Strategy Planning:<br>- Divide students into breakout groups (or pairs).<br>- Each group plans a simple house map or story.Promote teamwork and strategic thinking.Assign roles, use visual aids, and keep instructions simple.
Build40 minExecution:<br>- Create a digital "house" diagram.<br>- Use Wordwall or virtual drawing tools to label rooms.<br>- Practice asking and answering: “Where are you?” / “I’m in the kitchen.”<br>- Practice the letter “A” words related to the theme.<br>- Play interactive games (matching house parts, shape recognition).Active application of vocabulary, grammar, and letter knowledge.Use digital worksheets, shape activities, and gamified tasks.
Verify & Analyze10 minReview & Self-Assessment:<br>- Students share their house diagrams and sentences.<br>- Use simple checklists or thumbs-up/down.<br>- Correct common mistakes.Reinforce learning, identify misunderstandings.Encourage peer feedback, use visual cues for assessment.
Share15 minPresentation & Reflection:<br>- Each student describes their house (e.g., “My house has a kitchen and a garden.”).<br>- Discuss differences in homes around the world for interculturality.Communicative practice, cultural awareness.Use storytelling, pictures from different countries, and questions about homes worldwide.

    Notes for Adaptation

  • Use visuals heavily to compensate for limited language abilities.

  • Keep activities short, engaging, and repetitive.

  • Incorporate movement or gestures to support understanding.

  • Use digital tools accessible to children (interactive slides, virtual whiteboards, drawing apps).

  • This plan provides a clear, structured approach to engaging first-grade students in learning English through a problem-based, culturally aware, and interactive methodology suitable for online learning.
