ENGLISH LANGUAGE DAY 35 - THURSDAY CLASS YEAR 6 TIME DATE TOPIC Music and Song THEME World of Self, Family and Friends FOCUS Writing OBJECTIVE By the end of the lesson, most pupils will be able to: - Give detailed information about themselves and others - Use capital letters, full stops, commas in lists, question marks, and speech marks appropriately at discourse level ACTIVITY Pre-lesson 1. Using pupils’ recordings, play some songs at the beginning of the class. Ask pupils how each song makes them feel. Lesson delivery 2. Elicit some information from the pupils about the singers or groups performing the songs played in Step 1. Make notes on the board, for example the names of the singer(s), the type of music, and so on. 3. Tell pupils they are going to interview a famous singer. In pairs, pupils should write between three and five questions to ask the singer. Remind pupils to use correct punctuation, in this case question marks in particular. 4. Pupils pass their questions to another pair. This pair should assume the role of the singer. They answer the questions in writing, but in note form (not full sentences). Encourage pupils to be creative at this stage in particular – their answers don’t need to be ‘real’. Or, if you have a lot of time and easy access to the internet, you could have pupils search for the actual answers the singer would give. They pass their answers back to the other pair. 5. Explain that pupils will write up the interview for a magazine or a blog. If you have a class blog or another publication, this would be a good place to ‘publish’ the interviews when they are finished. 6. Pupils look at their questions and the answers the other pair gave. They write up the interview for the magazine/blog. Set a minimum and maximum word limit. Monitor and help pupils, note areas of difficulty and common problems. Post-lesson 7. Give general feedback on their writing, making sure to give plenty of praise.
