Recently, LingoOnline had a lesson plan competition. Hoping to win chips and a nice, icy beverage, every teacher created a fun, interactive, and productive lesson plan to show to the class. We voted for our favorites and Madison Sparber emerged victorious with this wonderful lesson plan:
Hana's major weakness: Speaking
** sometimes simply asking her to read articles isn’t enough to help her learn how to speak, especially when she has to learn how to speak on the spot
To get my student to speak more often, my creative plan is to...
1) This will force Hana how to think quick on her feet → help her think of prior vocabulary words
2) Learning how to describe certain objects and images will build up her vocabulary (e.g I showed a picture of a house with another student last year and asked her what a certain object in a room is. In the laundry room, she learned how to say things like “washing machine”, “towel”, and “soap”
3) She will learn how to speak more rapid, fluid English
We held this competition to push the teachers to be creative in the creation of their lesson plans. Our goal is to teach English in a fun and productive way, so this competition helped create many new ideas that we hope to use in the future!

Hana's major weakness: Speaking
** sometimes simply asking her to read articles isn’t enough to help her learn how to speak, especially when she has to learn how to speak on the spot
To get my student to speak more often, my creative plan is to...
- Ask her to find a few pictures on Google based on the lesson’s content (e.g the environment) → cannot be simple images like a flower
- She will describe one of the pictures to the best of her ability as I draw her description of the image on a piece of paper. I can ask her questions about the image which will help her to describe every possible detail she can.
- After I finish my drawing, she will proceed to show me the picture that she found on the Internet. Then we can discuss if she needs to improve on describing certain things.
