Lesson plan overview

Before classes

1. Students write down all known sources of information.

2. Before the planned repetitive lesson, the teacher asks all students to recall the material of the e‑textbook from the abstract „Fourth authority, or the right to give opinions”, and the selected ones, to prepare a crossword, based on the generator included in the abstract, for colleagues to work during the lesson.

Introduction

1. The teacher states the subject of the lesson, explains the aim of the lesson and together with students determines the success criteria to be achieved.

2. The teacher reminds the participants of the classes what subject area the lesson will concern.

Realization

1. Students display interactive crosswords on the interactive board. The task of the others is to guess individual passwords. After each crossword, students assess the questions based on the technique of lights (whether they are clear, logically formulated). The teacher assesses questions in terms of language and provides feedback.

2. The teacher plays the recording from the lesson „Window onto the world or the time stealer”. Students prepare a list of the pros and cons of using the Internet. Then they discuss their proposals together, complementing each other's answers.

3. The lecturer asks students what differs in the way information is presented by online media from the way it is used by traditional media (press, radio, television). Students write their proposals in the form in an abstract, then discuss them on the class forum.

4. Students, using the test question generator contained in the abstract, prepare a question for a friend or colleague about the content of the lesson „At the sources of knowledge”.

5. Expanding and enriching English vocabulary in the issues covered in the lesson - students perform language exercise included in the abstract.
   The teacher makes sure that the task has been correctly completed and gives feedback.

Summary

1. The teacher chooses one student by random method and asks him or her to explain in own words the meaning of a given word or concept learned during the lesson.

2. The teacher asks: If there was going to be a test on the material we have covered today, what questions do you think would you have to answer?
   If the students do not manage to name all the most important questions, the teacher may complement their suggestions.
