-   Ask the students in the beginning of the class questions like:

Time:  30  min    

Have you ever written your own story before? If yes, how did you write the opening? Does
Whole  

anyone have an idea on what to write in the beginning of a story?

-   Tell the students that today’s lesson will be about writing their own story opening.

-   Display different pictures and have a class discussion on what a new story opening could be,
for each picture.
 -   Tell the students that a story opening can talk about a certain character, or the setting.

-   Ask the children with high ability to describe 5 adjectives to describe the character.

-   Ask the children with middle ability to describe 3 adjectives to describe the character.

-   Ask the children with low ability to describe 2 adjectives to describe the character.

-   Ask the children with high ability to describe 5 adjectives to describe the setting.

-   Ask the children with low ability to describe 2 adjectives to describe the setting.

-   Using the white board, I will create a mind map and pick students up to write their story
openings they have chosen.

 
 
 
 
 
Assessment  (to  be  done  during  activity  time,  who  and  what  will  be  assessed?)  
 
-   My observations on students, and how they respond to questions  
 
 
Reflection  WWW/EBI  
 
 
 
Behavior  management:    
 
-    WWW: I handled the students while they were sitting on the mat (circle time), and also while it was
activity time, when I saw that the students are getting bored, I tried to entertain them and show them
visual things rather than just talking. / EBI: Even better if I knew how to give instructions clearly,
because in this lesson the students did not have a clear image about what to do, so, I had to explain the
instructions for the second time. Also, it would have been better if I made different activities related to
story openings.  
 
Groupings/differentiation:    The students were grouped into their different level abilities. Each group had to do
an activity that fits their abilities.  
 
Next  Steps  in  learning  and  teaching:  The
next steps in learning and teaching that I will implement is try to
make the class go more smoothly especially during literacy class, and would make the activities more related
to literacy and writing.
