Students watch two short films and work in groups to analyse the two clips. Used to teach "Learning Literature" in New Horizon 1 but made changes to make it more adaptable to teach in other grades.

Ideal Lesson Flow:


  1. Make groups.
  2. Introduce "Beginning-Rising Action-Climax-Ending" (čµ·ę‰æč»¢ēµ) to class
  3. Have students try to re-arrange the mini-story by connecting the dots on the worksheet.
  4. Tell students to discuss their answers within their group.
  5. Reveal answers.
  6. Watch first movie (Kitbull)
  7. After the film, students will try to reorder the story from 1-8 on their own.
  8. Students will discuss their answers within their group.
  9. Reveal the answers one by one and check the meaning. (You can ask students to raise their hand)
  10. Watch second movie (Bao).
  11. Students must figure which sentence is true or false by writing T or F.
  12. Go through the sentences one by one and reveal the answer.
  13. Lastly, from the 6 scenes in the movie Bao, students are to figure out which scene falls into the four categories.
  14. [OPTIONAL] In the last 5 minutes of class, students will talk in their groups about what they think the moral of the story is.

NOTE:


  • This was specifically made this for ā€œLearning Literatureā€ to teach Task 2 and 3 in New Horizon 1 (see attachment). I made some changes so that it can be used for other classes. The file name is called ā€[JHS][1ST] Learning Literature (pp. 122-3)ā€
  • The sentences used in the PPT and worksheet uses grammar they learned from Unit 1-11. Feel free to modify the sentences to better suit the age group youā€™re teaching.
  • The rearranging of the story from 1-8 can be quite challenging so I recommend making the students work together and discuss the answers. You can also give them a hint by revealing one of the numbers.
