Lesson Plan for PPP lesson plan for teaching can/can’t
Grade: 14 / 15
Lead in:
Group activity with a ball in a circle.
Teacher presents situation i.e 'classroom' and throws ball to a student.
Student who receives ball states something they are allowed/ not allowed to do, 'I can't talk over the teacher'
Introduces concept of can/can't giving student opportunity to use the term can/ can't if they know it.
This would be a controlled activity. For a lead in you need to create interest and set the scene. They won't be able to go straight into an activity using the TL until after you have taught it.
Also this is the wrong use of the TL - rules / permission. You must stick to abilities based on skills.
