LC for Week 7: Designing a task

Group members: Deman , Noora, Yotah, Uzma, Khara, Janet, Evelyn , Kate , and Shaima

After our group discussion we viewed our all tasks and we combined all of them in one which is the following:

Class profile: students are in 6^th grade in elementary school( 26 of them, boys and girls are probably of the same age)

Level of English: medium

The Task: Shopping for finding a birthday present

The task starts with a role play that describe a shopping situation which the teacher create a small shop inside the class from their own stuff like, hat, scarf, pens, bags, jackets………etc. The teacher put a price on each thing. The teacher select two learners to play the role of customer( who is looking for a birthday present for his friend)and shop owner (seller) only by using body language and face expressions without speaking, and the other students will be the audience and work as groups and they should write (report)what they are doing step by step. After the scene comes to end, the group students should discuss what they performed and try to form a dialogue of their acting. Each group should report back their dialogue to the whole class.

Possible language arising:

The difficulties that they might encounter might be using tenses, sentence structure, needing more vocabulary so at that point the teacher might put a CD player which represents the same situation to listen and give them an idea of the right situation then the teacher will explain anything that it's unclear about structure or form.
