Class Arrangement: Students will begin the class seated at their individual desks facing the front of the classroom. Greetings & Review “Good morning/afternoon! Can someone please tell me some of names of different types of family members?” I will ask students to name as many types of Introduction family members as possible in 3 minutes. I will write them on the board as (Time: 5 min) students shout out the answers. Presentation of Objectives: Students will understand the term 'modern family' along with learning the names for different types of family members. I will arouse interest in the topic. Eliciting responses including family members in the 'modern family' (step-father, step- daughter, single mother, etc.)

Such as the father, mother, brothers, and sisters. Grandparents, cousins, and uncles will commonly live in another home.” Maxwell Frayman Lesson Plan [Type the date]

Activity 2: Students will fill in a family tree by working together in groups. The students will need to re arrange themselves in groups of 5 or 6 for this exercise. I will give each group a blank Family Tree Handout and the Clue Cards (see pictures below). The Students will work together to fill in the correct names of the family members. I will award prizes for the group that finishes first. As the students attempt to complete the exercise I rotate amongst the groups offering help and facilitate English usage. Summary & Closing: When all groups finish, one student will take their group's handout and switch groups, acting as a representative. New groups will check their answers and rationalize their responses Students will work together to check their answers. Conclusion Once they are finished I will draw the family tree on the board and ask students (Time: 10 min) to help me fill in the names of the family members correctly. Evaluation of Objectives: I will ask questions to elicit responses using 'modern family' members titles and to check for comprehension. The next lesson would be on professions like, doctor, police men, lawyer, etc. Next Class This would continue to increase their vocabulary while also continuing their understanding of hierarchal relationships like that of a modern family.
