Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to recognize different kinds of spoken texts, such as stories, songs, and conversations, and understand their specific language features and purposes.

Materials and Prep

• No additional materials are needed for this lesson.
• Prepare to read a short story, sing a simple song, and have a conversation about a familiar topic.

Activities

• Story Time: Read a short, engaging story aloud to the student. Ask them to listen carefully and think about what the story is trying to tell us.

• Sing a Song: Choose a fun, simple song to sing together. Discuss what the song is about and how it makes them feel.

• Role Play: Have a pretend conversation where the student can be a character from the story or a character they like. This will help them practice different types of spoken language.

• Talk About It: After each activity, ask the student questions about what they heard or said. This will help them think about the purpose of different kinds of spoken texts.

Talking Points

• "What kind of story did we just read? Was it funny, sad, or exciting?"
• "Can you sing the song again? What do you think it means?"
• "When we pretend to be characters, how do we speak? Do we use different voices?"
• "Why do you think people tell stories or sing songs? What do they want us to feel?"
• "Can you tell me a story or sing a song you like? What is it about?"
