Brainstorming in speaking teaching

PROCEDURE

1. Organizing moment.

Teacher (T) - Good morning, children! Sit down and let's begin our lesson.

2. Goal setting.

 

  (Slide 1 - a picture of a planet in danger)

T - Look at the screne. You can see different pictures on it. Could you think a little bit and tell me what topic we are going to discuss today?

(Students list the concepts related to the topic of the lesson, using method of "brainstorming", "keywords")

T - Well, you are right. The theme of our lesson is "Animals in danger"

(The teacher writes on the blackboard theme of the lesson)

3. Activation of vocabulary on the topic

T - Look at our planet it looks upset. Can you guess why?

Ps - There may be some problems.

T - Please write down what problems of environment you know?

(Taking the card which they like the students write down everything they know about the topic)

T- Now, according to the color of the paper, let's divide into groups.

(In the group (the color card) students discuss their ideas and call one general information or fact (without repeating previously told). A list of ideas and put in the basket)

4. The development of lexical skills.

T - Now we are going to watch a short video. Work with a partner. Predict and write down the names of other endangered animals that you may see in the film.

T - What animals have you got?

(After watching the film)

T - What animals were there? Let's check if we named all of them.

(Slide 6 - self-test with the screen)

• Do you have any other animals in your lists?
• Which of them live in Russia?
• Did you see these animals at the Zoo?
• Have you ever seen any of them?

STAGE JUDGEMENT

5. Exploratory reading (receiving "marginal notes")

T - Now you are going to read the text in your books and tick the information you know with exclamation mark (!), New information - with (+), the information you did not know with (?) Interrogation mark.

(Discussion  after reading. Drafting table on the board and storytelling what they haved learned.)

I know (!)                                 New for me (+)                         I did not know (?)

6. Gym time.

T - Let's relax and do a very plain gymnastics for our necks.

- Stand up

- Look at the ceiling,

- Look at the floor,

- Look at the window,

- Look at the door.

7. The development of such skills like: information exchanging and asking specific questions.

(All students choose multicolored cards with the words "Panda" and "Whale"; those who have the same color form a pair. Then the couple took roundly ask specific questions).

T - Take a card and find your partner (someone with a card of the same colour), please.

"Pandas", "Whales", raise your hands. You know everything about yourself but you do not know everything about the whale or the panda. So ask questions and fill in the gaps with the missing information. If you have problems, feel free to ask me for help.

T - Are you ready with the task? What did you learn about these animals?

8. Create a poster (The Code of Rules).

- Let's divide into groups. This part of the class (group 1) will find what we Should Do and that part (group 2) what we Should not Do.

(Divided into two groups analyze them and choose the ones that fit for their group, and then glued on the dates of the poster, pre-positioned on the board).

(be friendly with animals, feel responsible for pets, feed birds and help them, harm or hurt animals, kill animals for fun, frighten animals)

T - Well done!

9. Reflection.

(Complete the sentence on the slide)

1) Today I __________________________________

2) If people _________________________________

3) That's good that____________________________

10. Homework

CONCLUSION

Brainstorming is a very useful activity that can be easily introduced into language classes. The course paper previously shows that it helps our students to become better learners. In addition, it is a fun activity which students enjoy and well worth trying out in your own classes.

Brainstorming is a technique in which a class or group records all the information they already know about a topic in order to pool their knowledge, develop new ideas and identify questions and issues to be addressed. It also provides us, as the teacher, with helpful information to determine how to respond to students’ learning needs, so that you can plan our lessons accordingly.
