Assessment FORMATIVE Class Activity

LESSON
Instructional Methods Resources
Warm Up:
1) Give Ss a few sentences on the slides and ask them to differentiate them
2) Explain the meaning of explicit and implicit as well as the task for the day

Activity Lead in:

1) Ss Watch the movie trailer Hunger games: Mockingjay movie
and list down the explicit information presented in the trailer.
2) After the trailer, give ss additional minutes to quietly fill in any extra explicit
information
3) Then ask ss to brainstorm any implicit information in the trailer.
4) After jotting down the explicit and implicit information, ss discuss their information
in small groups of 3 or 4. Then they make inferences about the movie based on
the explicit and implicit information they gather from the trailer. The group dynamic
is great for sparkling additional ideas.
5) After that, reconvened as a class and share their ideas. Next, show the topic for
today: The Journey reading passage.

Main Task:
1) Ask students about what they understand from the topic (The Journey) before
reading the passage, then ask them to scan for main ideas (Explicit info). This can
be done from each paragraph’s main idea (Literal/Explicit). This will be done by
dividing into groups so they will vary. Ask Ss to list down as mentioned above.
2) Ask SS to find the implicit meaning from each paragraph. After that, explain to SS
how to find those two (explicit and implicit) ideas from the passage.
3) Show them examples of both in each paragraph and the words or style of writing

2
 used, in this case imagery or personification.
4) Show them the pyramid of explicit/implicit/inferences diagram to summarize the
learning process that have been taught.
