Timing:

Learning Experiences:
1. Introduction: (How will I engage the learners?)
I will start by getting them talking about the movie, asking what the movie
was about and
did they like it. I will be using a ball to get them engaged, so if they
wanted to answer they
would put up their hand and I would pass them the ball and once they caught it
they were able to answer.

2. Sequence of learning experiences: (What will you do to help the

students achieve the learning objectives? What tasks and activities will
the students be involved in to help achieve the learning objectives?)
I will be showing the students the screen shots and ask them
questions such as; what is
going on in this scene? What is Edward feeling here? Why do you
think that? What is his
body language saying?
If some students need prompting I will ask questions like, is he
feeling happy or sad? What
face is he making? Can you remember this scene, if so what was
happening here?
I will then handout worksheets for us to go through as a group.

3. Lesson conclusion: (How will you summarise the learning and relate it
to the lesson objectives?)
We will end by going through the answers as a group and have a
group discussion

Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why?)
I think the lesson went well. The students reacted well and enjoyed it. I feel that I
could have made it a little more fun and exciting for them, maybe by having
rewards for good answers.
