Steps For Video Lessons: 1. Check Homework
Steps For Video Lessons: 1. Check Homework
Steps For Video Lessons: 1. Check Homework
1. Check homework
- Check students’ homework (since it’s a summary try not to take so much time checking
their homework).
2. Introduce vocabulary
- Play the whole video and tell your students that they can write any word from the video that
was not given in the vocabulary and that they consider important for the explanation later.
4. Extra Vocabulary
- Ask students if there are any words that they want and use the sound chart to teach it. They
will obviously tell you the words in Spanish and we don’t have a problem with that (there
shouldn’t be many words).
a) Go back to the beginning of the video and start asking questions to the students frame
by frame of the video until you cover all the video.
b) The number of the questions will depend on the student’s level. If the student has a good
English level don’t hesitate to ask more detailed questions. However, if the student doesn’t
speak so fluently try to ask him a little more general questions but all the videos (except Chaplin
boxing) are to be done in 90 min each.
c) The video lessons are designed to practice SIMPLE PAST, CONTINUOUS ACTION PAST.
Sometimes a couple of SIMPLE PRESENT questions could be made.
d) Students may check their vocabulary while doing this step.
6. Leave homework
- Tell students to make a summary about the video. The more they write the better. That
way you can check their structure with more detail.
- In the unlikely event that you have time left, don’t let them go, have them start their
summaries.
STEPS READING LESSONS
1. Introduce vocabulary
a) Use the Phonics chart to teach new vocabulary.
b) Write the word on the blackboard underlining it with sound chart numbers on the
syllables that you consider necessary and let them copy (DO NOT WRITE ANY MEANING
YET).
c) Give them a meaning for that word with at least one example.
d) Copy the meaning of the word on the blackboard for them to copy it.
2. Introduction
Have your students tell you anecdotes about the topic so that they get the general idea about
what they will read about. Sometimes they struggle to remember anecdotes. If that’s the case
you can tell them one of yours.
a) Make sure to read at a good pace, making sure to use your voice in the same way the
actor would be saying it because this is direct speech.
b) Before you read, tell your students to pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation
of the words and to write down any words that they neither recognize nor remember.
c) After you finish reading the whole lesson check if there is any vocabulary that they wrote and
help them with the meaning. (There shouldn’t be more than one or two words).
a) One student should read one paragraph with correct pronunciation, intonation and fluency 2
or 3 times aloud. Use correction process while he/she reads.
b) Give him/her a reason to read again. (Pronunciation, intonation, fluency, etc.)
c) After finishing reading, have the students turn the page so that they cannot see.
- Have another student explain the paragraph with Q&A. Make sure to help him with enough
questions so that students understand that it’s not about memorizing but to understand the
paragraph and having conversation.
REPEAT THE STEPS 3 AND 4 UNTIL YOU COVER THE WHOLE LESSON
- They should answer silently but they shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes. These
exercises are made to be answered quickly.
- Check their answers by having them going to the blackboard if it’s a group, if it’s a
personal class, just have the students tell you his/her answers.
IF THERE´S ANY TIME LEFT, YOU CAN START ANOTHER KARY-READING LESSON

KARY-READING 1: A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF RODRIGO.
VOCABULARY:
VOCABULARY:
IDEAS:
- Explain to your students that WOULD has another use. Remind them that it’s the helper for
imaginary situation and if you consider necessary you may work a couple of examples just to
refresh their memories. Right after that, tell them that WOULD is also used for routinary
activities of the past. Give examples: When I was a little boy…
- Have them remember the expression of “What kind of music do you like?” then explain that
when we have kind of + concept ------- “ kind of ” means TYPE OF.
What kind of music do you like? = What type of music do you like?
But there is other meaning, When we have kind of + action ------ “ Kind of ” is the English
version of “como que”.
IDEAS:
- For “effort” you can use the following examples for physical and mental energy required to do
something or create some examples that fit your students’ goals:
a) If you want to be the champion in basketball you have to put in a lot of effort (physical).
b) If you want to speak English perfectly you have to put in a lot of effort (mental).
- To explain “It’s worth it” you can tell them that it is mostly used when a product is expensive
but the quality is really good, for example:
a) The tickets for the Maná concert are very expensive, but Maná plays music very well,
so it’s worth it. (You can ask them about their favorite band)
- You can also give them examples with “it’s not worth it” to make sure they get it right.
