Assignment 3
Part A
The chosen text is an excerpt from a page number 79 under topic People in Year
5 English text book. This text book standardizes the level of English education for all
schools around Malaysia as stated in the Primary Schools Integrated Curriculum.
Hence, it is undoubtedly suitable for scholarly people in Year 5 as it gives new
information to students through dialogues and illustrations, provides simple, repetitive
and new words in certain sentences, and also gives positive impact and benefits on
students about our nations history and moral values.
My teaching plan is as follows:
Lesson 1: Role-play activity
The objective of this activity will be to test the students level of confidence in speaking
English and also to check their pronunciation of words in the text. This text has
dialogues which represents Miss Amy as a teacher and her five students who are
Sandra, Chandran, Chee Kiat, Soo Lin and Belaja. First, I will introduce the text as a
conversation between a teacher and her students to get them try to understand what
they will learn. Then, I will ask six students to volunteer to act the roles in front of the
classroom. I will ask them to refer their own text book to make it as a reference in the
role-play. I will also draw the national monument on the blackboard as to create the
same environment in the text book. Through this role-play activity, I will also teach them
about the correct intonation and also actions according to the dialogues. For example,
from the words look, brave, strong, I will demonstrate the actions first and then
followed by the students.
Lesson 2: Grammar and Vocabulary
The objective of my next lesson will be to make students understand better on grammar
and vocabulary which are found in the dialogues. Not only that, this lesson will also help
students to know how to answer a question in a complete sentence. First, I will make

two types of different flash cards with words; some cards with words such as bronze,
National Monument, memory, while other cards consist words of Wh-questions such
as why, when, who. Then I will ask for a volunteer to pick one of the cards. Then, if
he chooses a card with vocabulary on it, I will ask him to make a sentence using the
chosen word. Besides that, I will also make a question and answer activity. For
example, if the student picks a flash card with the word what, I will ask a question
which starts with what. For example, What is your fathers name?, then the student
has to answer with a complete sentence like My fathers name is Ali. If he completes
the task successfully, I will give him immunity to choose another student to select
another flash card.
Lesson 3: Open-ended questions
The objective of this lesson will be to test the level of students thinking skills and also to
share knowledge among them. After lesson 1 and 2 has been done, I will continue with
this lesson as to see students knowledge on Malaysias history or their experiences on
watching anything related to the text. For example, I will ask them whether they know
about the date of Independence Day and the meaning behind its celebration. The
student who wants to share anything, will come in front and share it with everyone in the
classroom. This method may include the objectives of both lessons 1 and 2 build as it
can build confidence, practice speaking and pronunciation and also making sentences.
Not only that, I will also show some videos of Independence Day to let students feel and
see the actual environment or scene on the first celebration of National Independence
Day. Besides, I will also include some singing session with the students which I will ask
them to sing Independence songs such as Tanggal 31, Jalur Gemilang and
Keranamu, Malaysia while holding the Malaysian flag as the closing of their learning
session.
