information for planning and delivering their lessons throughout the year. The Scheme of Work contains
the following sections:
1. Overview of Primary Year 1
National-Type School
Scheme of Work
This section will explain to teachers how the Scheme of Work is organised and provides detail on the two
types of lesson in the Scheme of Work: textbook-based lessons and non-textbook-based lessons.
2. Glossary of terms in the Primary Year 1 curriculum framework
In order to assist teachers in understanding the Content and Learning Standards which will appear in
each lesson, a number of these Standards have been explained in more detail.
3. Differentiation strategies for Primary Year 1
This section provides teachers with a number of suggested differentiation strategies which teachers may
wish to use within their classes. There are a total of seven strategies and each lesson will have a
recommendation for teachers as to which strategies could be used within that particular lesson.
4. Formative Assessment
This section provides a short overview of formative assessment and suggests 5 possible ways teachers
can assess their pupils.
5. Suggested Pre-Lesson Tasks
Teachers have been provided with a selection of tasks which can be used at the start of each of the
non-textbook-based lessons. There are a total of 12 tasks and details in how each task can be used are
provided.
6. Suggested Post-Lesson Tasks
As with the above Pre-Lesson tasks, teachers have also been provided with 12 tasks that can be used at
the end of each non-textbook-based lesson.
7. Scheme of Work (Lessons 1
–

This section provides teachers with detailed information for both the textbook-based lessons and the
non-textbook-based lessons. This will include the Content and Learning Standards for each lesson,
details of the lesson outline, the learning materials and suggested differentiation strategies. For the
textbook-
based lessons teachers will need to refer to the accompanying Teacher’s Book.

1. Overview of the Primary Year 1 National-TypeSchool Scheme of Work
1. What is the Primary Year 1 National-Type School Scheme of Work, and how can it help
teachers?
The Primary Year 1 National-Type School Scheme of Work gives teachers an overview of the
Content and Learning Standards, lesson content and materials for their lessons with Primary Year 1
pupils. They can use the Scheme of Work to help with their daily, weekly and longer-term lesson
planning.
2. How is the Primary Year 1 National-Type School Scheme of Work organised?
The Scheme of Work provides outlines for lessons which focus on listening, speaking, reading, writing
or Language Arts over the whole school year.
It links the lessons to:
themes and cross-curricular elements in the Primary Year 1 national curriculum
the four
–
lesson cycle of skills lessons (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing) and a
Language Arts lesson as outlined in the Primary Year 1 national curriculum
the Content and Learning Standards contained within the Curriculum Framework document
suggested learning materials for teachers to use and/or adapt for their classes.
In addition, it provides suggestions on pre-lesson, lesson development and post-lesson content. It
also suggests ways of differentiating learning tasks to help pupils at different levels of language
understanding and use.
3. How are content and skills organised in Primary Year 1?
Primary Year 1 starts with two getting-to-know-you lessons, two phonics lessons, and a Language
Arts lesson. From Lesson 6 onwards, Primary Year 1 is generally organised into textbook-based
lessons (using the selected textbook - Superminds 1) and non-textbook-based lessons. In the
textbook-based lessons, there are four skills lessons and a Language Arts lesson. The sequence of
the skills lessons in the textbook-based lessons is decided by the focus in the Superminds 1 textbook.
In the non-textbook-based lesson, the skills lessons are mostly in a fixed order of Listening, Speaking,
Reading, Writing and Language Arts as suggested in KSSR Bahasa Inggeris Tahun 1 and KSSR
Bahasa Inggeris SJK Tahun 1 of 2011.

based assessment of pupils’ progress.
4. Do teachers need to follow the Scheme of Work exactly?
Teachers need to keep to the given Content and Learning Standards for lessons. This is because
Content and Learning Standards are repeated a number of times over Primary Year 1 in order to
increase pupils’ chances of success in achieving them across all skills and within Language Arts, but

a limited range of high frequency target language phonemes
These are the phonemes shown in the phonics table in the syllabus document.
A range of target language phonemes in Year 1 means a suitable variety of phonemes from the phonics table,
based on the teacher’s judgment of how well the pupils
they teach can read.
Listening 1.2
Understand meaning in a variety of familiar contexts
a variety of familiar contexts
Familiar contexts are ones which pupils know. Examples include contexts linked to topics covered in the
Superminds 1 textbook, such as friends and family, school and food.
However, pupils in rural or remote areas and pupils who live in cities may be familiar with different contexts. Teachers should use their own judgment here.
Listening 1.2.1
Understand with support the main idea of very simple phrases and
sentences

very simple phrases and sentences
Very simple phrases and sentences are simple in
structure. They are short and contain just one clause (e.g.
I’m seven; She can swim, He’s got 2 sisters). The ideas they contain are easy for pupils to understand (e.g. They live in Kuching, I like bananas)

Fixed phrases are useful phrases for communication which pupils can understand and use to communicate successfully. Often the language in the fixed phrases is above their general language level. Here are some examples: It’s my turn, Good idea! No problem! There are many fixed phrases in Superminds 1.
Reading 3.1
Recognise words in linear and non-linear

Reading 3.2
linear and non-linear texts
Linear texts contain only words. Pupils usually read their content in the sequence in which it appears on the page. Examples of linear texts include: dialogues, stories and descriptions.
Non-linear texts combine words and pictures. They involve a different kind of reading from linear texts, as pupils may move between the words and the pictures as they read, not always in a sequence. Examples of non-linear texts include graphs, diagrams, and some computer games.

Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
Strategy 1: Differentiate by the task pupils are given
If teachers are using the same task for the whole class, using open-ended tasks such as
brainstorming allows a large number of correct responses. Open-ended tasks (e.g. Tell me the food
words you know, or What will happen next?) allow more proficient pupils to contribute more unusual
words, more complex language, or more original ideas. Sometimes, the teacher can also give
different tasks to more proficient and less proficient groups of pupils according to their needs and
interests: see strategy 5 for more on this.
Strategy 2: Differentiate by the type and amount of support provided
The teacher can support pupils to understand and use language with:
the
ir own teacher talk (e.g. ‘It begins with B. You read it. It’s on the desk.’
)
with gestures
with visuals (e.g. flashcards on the board to help pupils understand or use vocabulary)
with written words (e.g. written words on a worksheet to help pupils with spelling).
Different types and amount of support can be given to less proficient pupils, depending on their
needs, and extra challenge can be provided for more proficient pupils.
Strategy 3: Differentiate by the outcome expected from pupils
The teacher may expect more language from some pupils, and less from others. The main aim is that
every pupil says or writes something, so that they feel successful. Two useful strategies here are:
compulsory plus optional
remember and share.
i)
Compulsory plus optional
Here, the teacher sets pupils targets such as With your partner, write two sentences or more, or
In your group, say three colours or more. The minimum target (two sentences, three colours) is
compulsory, and everyone needs to achieve this to be successful. But the ‘or more’ is optional,
and gives a chance for more proficient language pupils to challenge themselves. Some pupils
will stop at the minimum target at first, but with more practice, they will soon get the idea of going
beyond the minimum target.
ii)
Remember and share
If pupils are asked to remember and share, they have to tell the teacher words or ideas they
learned in a previous lesson or task (e.g. Look at the classroom objects on my table. In one
minute, I’ll cover them… Now, share with your group what you remember and then tell me
).
Sometimes, less proficient pupils have good memories, and so this task also allows different
pupils to make successful contributions.
Strategy 4: Differentiate by the time pupils are given to complete a task
10
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
Strategy 5: Differentiate by supporting individual learning preferences and needs
When appropriate, teachers can support preferences by letting pupils make choices about what they
do and how they do it. Sometimes, for example, pupils decide for themselves which tasks they want
to do (e.g. the gestures they create for an action song or a revision game), depending on the ways
they prefer to learn (for example visually, through speaking or listening, or through movement).
Different pairings and groupings will allow pupils to work in different ways
–
teachers can sometimes
pair up pupils who can help and support each other (e.g. one who can write and one who cannot yet
write well) or who enjoy working together. Sometimes teachers might want to mix girls and boys or
have single-sex pairs/groups. In some tasks, pupils can be assigned different roles to do, for
example a group manager, writer or artist. Teachers should make sure to vary pairing and grouping
over time.
Teachers can support needs by setting individual tasks and targets for pupils based on teacher
assessment. For example, if a number of pupils are not able to read well yet, a teacher might decide
on a reading target for each child, and provide them with different tasks from those pupils who can
already read. If a few pupils are proficient readers, they could be given extra tasks. It should be
noted that the Schemes of Work for Primary Year 1 and Year 2 give recommendations for less
proficient readers to be given support during some reading lessons.
Strategy 6: Differentiate by the types of question asked
Closed questions are questions in which the choice of possible answers is limited. They often involve
very short responses. Open questions usually have more possible answers and longer responses.
Asking closed questions to less proficient pupils (e.g. Which boy is Thunder? Is it a dog or a cat?)
gives them a chance to produce accurate answers as they are usually easier to answer than open
questions. Asking open questions to more proficient pupils (e.g. What can Misty do now?) provides
extra challenge. As less proficient pupils grow in confidence and competence, teachers can ask them
more open questions. Sometimes there are also good reasons for asking more proficient pupils
easier questions, as this involves them in the lesson and helps the pace of the lesson.
Strategy 7: Differentiate by the feedback given

literate or may be just learning to read. Within the Scheme of Work, reading and writing skills are
developed in different ways and pupils’ literacy skills will be developed through the activities and
lessons, both in the textbook-based lessons and the non-textbook-based lessons as the relevant
Content and Learning Standards are given adequate attention for pupils who are developing literacy
skills.
However, pre-literate pupils, or those with low-level literacy skills, will need extra support. It is
recommended that teachers select relevant material from LINUS, Literasi Bahasa Inggeris (LBI)
Pupil’s Modules 1 and 2 (Second Edition)
as supplementary to reading and writing lessons where
indicated in the Scheme of Work. This information can be found in the Differentiation column within
the Scheme of Work below.

language learners, and in communicating this information clearly to pupils through feedback.
As formative assessment involves clear communication with pupils, effective formative assessment is
therefore also informative. Formative assessment of listening or reading may involve talking with
pupils about different listening and reading strategies they can use. Some of this discussion may be
in L1, as the focus is on learning, not on language performance. Formative assessment of speaking,
may involve highlighting how well a pupil has communicated a message, as well as some explicit or
implicit correction of pronunciation, vocabulary or grammar. The picture is similar with formative
assessment of writing, with spelling and punctuation replacing pronunciation.
There are five common ways of collecting information in order to find out what pupils have done well,
and what they need to improve:
1. observing pupils in class
2. reading and marking their written work
3. asking pupils about their learning, e.g. what they find easy and difficult, what task types and
topics they enjoy
4. asking pupils to self- or peer assess their work
5. testing pupils.

5. Suggested Pre-Lesson tasks
Below can be found 12 lesson tasks which teachers may choose from or adapt for the pre-lesson
section within the Schemes of Work. These pre-lesson tasks are suitable to begin almost any
skills-focussed lesson and require minimal materials and preparation. Teachers can, of course, use their
own pre-lesson tasks whenever they think that these would be more suitable for the pupils they teach.
Each pre-lesson task takes about 5-10 minutes of class time.
Please note that these tasks are the same for Primary Year 1 and Primary Year 2. The language and
vocabulary focus will be different, however, and some tasks can be modified for slightly older or more
proficient pupils, as is noted in the task description.
PRE-LESSON TASK 1: WORK OUT THE WORDS
AIM: to prepare and give pupils confidence for a listening or reading text
MATERIAL: Board, exercise books and pens
Write anagrams of key topic vocabulary words on the board, e.g.
e l o y l w (for yellow)
r e n e g (for green)
Put pupils into pairs or groups and ask them to work out the words by completing the anagrams.
If pupils find this difficult provide the first letter of each word or provide a picture to help them with
meaning.
When finished, invite pupils to form larger groups to see if they have the same words.
Ask volunteers to say a word then spell it or come up to the board to write it.
PRE-LESSON TASK 2: GUESS THE ANSWER
AIM: to prepare and give pupils confidence for a listening or reading text
MATERIALS: Board
1. write questions on the board for a listening or reading text that the pupils will answer during the
lesson.
2.
Provide two or three possible answers for each question for example, “What does Sara like doing?”
a. going swimming
b. watching TV
15
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
AIM: to prepare and give pupils confidence for a listening or reading text
MATERIALS: Board
1. Write a list of events in the listening or reading text in a random order or use pictures to illustrate
them. For example, if the text is a story, list the events in any order (Mohamed goes camping. He
sees a mouse in the tent at night. His mother screams! The mouse runs away).
2. Put pupils in pairs to decide on the order.
3. Invite pupils to compare their ideas in groups.
4. Pupils then listen to or read the text to check their predictions.
PRE-LESSON TASK 4: IDENTIFY THE FLASHCARDS
AIM: to revise topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Flashcards of relevant topic vocabulary and card to cover up the flashcards
1. Choose some flashcards of important topic vocabulary the pupils will need in the lesson.
2. Place the flashcards face down on a table in front of the class.
3.
Take one of the flashcards, making sure the pupils can’t see it. Cover it with a piece of card then
slowly begin revealing the flashcard to the class. You could use an overhead projector and a piece of
paper or an interactive whiteboard, if either is available.
4. Pupils try to guess the word as it is revealed. Each time they guess correctly, put the flashcard on the
board. Continue until the pupils have guessed all the words.
PRE-LESSON TASK 5: SIT DOWN, STAND UP
AIM: to revise topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: True and false sentences about the topic
1.
Prepare some simple true/false sentences about the topic to check pupils’ knowledge or to prepare
them for the content of the lesson.
2.
Read a sentence out, e.g. if the topic is colours, “Ravi’s pencil case is green”, “Regina’s bag is blue”
etc).
3. If it is true, pupils stay sitting at their desks. If it is false, pupils stand up. Invite pupils to correct any
false sentences. You could change the action to suit the topic of the lesson or to review other
vocabulary, especially verbs.
16
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
PRE-LESSON TASK 6: FINGER-WRITING
AIM: to practise spelling of topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Board
1. Choose some words the pupils will need for the lesson. These should be words the pupils already
know, so are reviewing.
2. Divide pupils into pairs.
3. Tell one pupil in the pair to look at the board, and the other pupil to cover their eyes or put their head
down on the desk so that they can’t see the board.
4. Write a topic word on the board, give pupils 5 seconds or so to remember it, and then rub the word
off the board. If you want to review word-spelling, then you could use a picture.
5. Tell pupils who did not see the board to stand with their back to their partner while the partner writes
the word on their back by using their finger.
6. Each pupil works out what word his/her partner is writing.
7. Reverse the roles so that each pupil gets the chance to write.
8. Repeat for other topic words.
NB: When pupils know this activity, they can choose their own words.
PRE-LESSON TASK 7: BEAT THE TEACHER
AIM: to create interest in the lesson and to review and practise spelling of topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Board
1. Choose a key topic word from the lesson.
2. Write lines to correspond to each letter on the board with a space in between as in the example
below _ _ _ _ _ _ (pencil).
3. Draw a circle/oval on the board. It is a head without the parts (eyes, nose, ears, mouth, hair).
4. Explain that the aim of the game is to guess the word before the face is completed.
5. Tell pupils to put up their hands if they want to guess a letter.
6. If they guess correctly, write the letter into the correct letter space. If they guess incorrectly, draw one
part of the head (e.g. the mouth or the hair). Write the incorrect letter on the side of the board to
remind pupils it has already been used.
7. If pupils guess the word before the face is completed, they have beaten the teacher. If not, the
teacher has won!
17
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
AIM: to help pupils with listening or reading comprehension
MATERIALS: Board and pictures
1. Ask pupils to look at a picture or pictures which accompany a listening or reading text they will have
in the lesson, or tell them the title of the story, song etc.
2. Ask pupils to work in small groups to predict words they might hear/read. Give groups a fixed time,
e.g. 3 minutes.
3. Review their answers and provide correct spelling by writing the words on the board.
4. Ask pupils to read or listen to the text and see if any of their predictions are correct.
5. Check the predictions with the whole class before moving on to the main listening or reading focus
for the lesson.
PRE-LESSON TASK 9: REMEMBER THE WORDS
AIM: to review topic vocabulary and prepare pupils for the lesson
MATERIALS: Flashcards or real/plastic objects, a table and a cloth, or sheet
1. Choose about 7 or 8 topic words which pupils will need for the lesson.
2. Put flashcards or real objects of these vocabulary items on a table.
3. Ask pupils to work in pairs or small groups and to say the words.
4. Check briefly with the whole class.
5. Place a cloth over all the items on the table.
6. Ask pairs to remember 5 words or more.
7. Elicit answers from the whole class.
8. Uncover the items so that pupils can check their answers.

PRE-
LESSON TASK 10: SAY WHAT’S MISSING
AIM: to review topic vocabulary and prepare pupils for the lesson
MATERIALS: Flashcards or real/plastic objects, a table and a cloth, or sheet.
1. Follow steps 1-5 in Pre-task 9, Remember the Words.
2. Take one or two vocabulary items away.
3. Remove the cloth, keeping the removed items in it.
4. Pupils say which items are missing.
NB: You can use pictures on the board with sticky tape or magnets, an overhead projector or an
interactive whiteboard for this activity. Real objects (realia) are stimulating when available, though.
PRE-LESSON TASK 11: WORDS THAT SOUND THE SAME (PHONICS)
AIM: to practise distinguishing different sounds
MATERIALS: Board (or flashcards)
1. Choose some words that contain the sound(s) you are/have been working on and some other topic
words you would like to review.
2. Write the words in chains of three or four on the board, containing one example of the phoneme
you are focusing on, e.g. for /
ɒ
/:
cat : dog : fish : tiger OR cat : dog : monkey : snake (the second example is more
difficult because of the o in monkey, which is not /
ɒ
/)
3. Ask pupils to guess which word has an /
ɒ
/ sound.
4. Say the words (you can say just the word or you could say it in a short sentence) to let pupils
check their answers.
5. Ask pupils to read all the words aloud.
NB: This can be adapted to have chains of rhyming words or as an odd-one-out (where one is different
from the others). Pictures could be used instead of words to check vocabulary production rather than
reading recognition.
PRE-LESSON TASK 12: PASS IT ON
AIM: to review vocabulary or language to prepare for a lesson
MATERIALS: Word or picture cards
1. Review with the whole class the word or picture cards you are using in this task.
2. Have pupils sit in a circle (or two, if you have a very large class).
3. Show pupils the first card, say the word and give it to one pupil. This pupil says the word and
passes it to their neighbour. This pupil says the word and passes it on, and so on.
4. Meanwhile, repeat for the next word, and the next, so that several words are circulating.
5. Increase the pace and challenge by passing some cards in the opposite direction and/or telling the
pupils to be much faster.
6. After the words have all been passed around, you might want to review them again.

section within the Scheme of Work. These post-lesson tasks are suitable for ending almost any
skills-focused lesson. Teachers can, of course, use their own post-lesson tasks whenever they think that
these would be more suitable for the pupils they teach.
Please note that these tasks are the same for Primary Year 1 and Primary Year 2. The language and
vocabulary focus will be different, however, and some tasks can be modified for slightly older or more
proficient pupils, as is noted in the task description.
POST-LESSON TASK 1: SPOT THE DIFFERENCES
AIM: to provide practice in listening for detail
MATERIALS: Text
1. Before the lesson, identify 3 or 4 factual changes you could make to a listening or reading text which
pupils will work on in the lesson (e.g. Whisper talks to fruit instead of Whisper talks to animals).
2. During the lesson, after pupils have worked on a listening or reading text and understood it, tell them
they are going to listen to the text again but this time there are some differences.
3. Ask pupils to listen and put their hands up each time they hear something different from the original
text, and to be ready to correct the difference.
4. Read out your text with changes.
5. Pupils listen and correct the differences to make it the same as the original.
POST-LESSON TASK 2: MAKE CONNECTIONS
AIM: to review topic vocabulary and grammar
MATERIALS: Flashcards, pens and board
1. Before the lesson, choose or prepare between 3-6 flashcards which represent the content of a text
which pupils will work on in the lesson.
2. During the lesson and after pupils have worked on the text, place the flashcards on the board and
elicit ideas from the pupils about items in the pictures.
3. Ask pupils how the pictures link to the text (e.g. if a flashcard shows some animals the link may be
The story is on a farm).
To extend, if time:
4. Put pupils into pairs and give them a short time (1 or 2 minutes) to tell each other everything they can
remember from the text, using the flashcards to help them. This could be sentences focusing on
content or simply words.
5. Ask pupils to tell you the connections they have made between the pictures and the text.

Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
POST-LESSON TASK 3: GUESS THE WORD
AIM: to review topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Cards with words or pictures, bag
1. Choose about 7 words related to the lesson.
2. Prepare small cards with the names or pictures of the items.
3. Put the words in a bag then take out a card without letting the pupils see what it is.
4. Explain the word without saying the name or mime it.
5. Invite pupils to guess the word.
6. Continue with all the words until there is none left in the bag.
A possible variation is:
1. Make 3 or 4 sets of the cards.
2. Explain or mime 1 or 2 words yourself (step 4 above).
3. Divide pupils into groups.
4. Give each group a set of cards and ask pupils to follow steps 4
–
6 in their own groups.
POST-LESSON TASK 4: CORRECT THE ERROR
AIM: to review topic language, and to review spelling and punctuation
MATERIALS: Board
, words or sentences with errors from pupils’ written work
1. During the lesson, identify 4 or 5 words or sentences with errors the pupils made in a writing task.
These should be common errors made by more than 1 pupil.
2. Write the sentences on the board.
3. Ask pupils to form groups to identify the errors and to correct them.
4. Elicit answers with the whole class.
21
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
AIM: to practise the pronunciation of key language from the lesson
MATERIALS: Listening or reading text, board
1. After pupils have worked on a listening or reading text, choose a key sentence or sentences you
want the pupils to focus on.
2. Make sure that pupils understand the meaning of the sentence(s).
3. Say the sentence twice and ask the pupils to repeat it.
4. Repeat step 3 if you have chosen more than 1 sentence.
5. Extend the activity by writing a sentence on the board. Rub out a word and replace it with a line. Ask
the pupils to say the complete sentence: they have to remember the missing word too.
6. Continue rubbing out words until there are only lines on the board and invite pupils to say the full
sentence.
NB: You could adapt this to focus on vocabulary from the lesson by replacing the sentences with a list of
words that pupils remember (the number of words depending on their familiarity, the age and the
proficiency of the pupils). Start with a small number (2 or 3) and work upwards.
POST-LESSON TASK 6: WHISPER AND WRITE
AIM: to review topic language and spelling
MATERIAL: Board
1. Draw 4 columns on the board.
2. Divide the class into 4 teams. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board.
3. Give each pupil at the front of the line some chalk or a board pen.
4. Go to the back of the line and ask the 4 pupils at the back of each line to come to you. Whisper a
topic word (e.g. coconut) or instruction (e.g. Draw a triangle and a square).
5. The pupils go back to their lines and whisper the topic language to the next pupil in the line. This
continues until it reaches the pupil at the front of the line, who writes down the word, or follows the
instruction.
6. Each team gets one point for a correct answer. The team who finishes first gets an extra point if their
answer is correct.

POST-LESSON TASK 7: LISTEN AND POINT
AIM: to review topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Flashcards of topic vocabulary
1. Briefly review the vocabulary on the flashcards.
2. Place the flashcards on the walls around the room.
3. Say a word. Pupils point to the corresponding flashcard.
4. Divide pupils into groups. Pupils continue this activity in their groups.
POST-LESSON TASK 8: MAKE A WORD LADDER
AIM: to review topic vocabulary, to practise spelling
MATERIALS: Board
1. Divide the class into 4 or 5 teams, depending on your class size. There should be about 4 or 5
pupils in each team.
2. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board. Give each pupil at the front of the line some
chalk or a board pen.
3. Write the lesson topic on the board (e.g. school), and draw a ladder of at least 4 to 5 spaces for
each team (at least one for each pupil in a team).
4. The pupil at the front of each line writes a word connected to the topic at the bottom of the ladder.
They then pass on the chalk or pen to the second pupil, who writes a word in the next space on
the ladder. Pupils can help each other with spellings if need be.
5. You can either continue until each pupil has had a turn to write a word or you can continue for a
fixed time, e.g. 3 minutes, if you have more time available.
23
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
AIM: to review topic vocabulary, to practise listening, speaking and reading
MATERIALS: Board
1. Write target
language on the board (e.g. days of the week, I like/don’t like): about 5
-7 target items is
a good number. Write a number in front of each target language item.
2. Quickly review the target language with pupils.
3. Ask a pupil to come to the front and whisper to you or write down on a piece of paper the number of
the target language item she is thinking of.
4.
Give the pupil about 5 seconds to pretend to ‘transmit’ the word or message in their mind to their
classmates, who pretend to be mind readers.
5. The other pupils write down the number they think she has chosen. If your class is large, pupils can
work in pairs to agree a number together and write it down.
6. Quickly check around the class, asking each pupil to say the phrase they guessed.
7. The pupil at the front keeps a score by ticking or making a mark on the board against the number of
each target language item suggested.
8.
Calculate the pupil’s score. For example, if he or she were thinking of the phrase
I like pizza, and 4
pupils guessed this correctly, the pupil score 4 points.
9. Repeat this with a new pupil coming to the front, to see if they can beat the score of the previous
pupil.
If this scoring system is too complex for younger children or those less proficient in numeracy, you can
tell pupils to put their hands up. The pupil at the front chooses others until someone guesses the correct
word.
POST-LESSON TASK 10: TEST YOUR MEMORY
AIM: to review topic vocabulary and grammar (e.g. there is/are, have/has got)
MATERIALS: Picture in the textbook with some details in it, or a picture you have chosen from another
source
1. Make sure that each pupil can see the textbook picture or your own picture.
2.
Give them 1 minute to look at the picture and remember what’s in it.
3. Ask them to close their books. Hide the picture if you are not using the textbook.
4. Make true/false statements (e.g. There are 2 pupils in the picture. The car is red).
5. Pupils tell you if your statements are true or false, and correct false statements.
24
Primary Year 1 (SJK) Scheme of Work k
POST-LESSON TASK 11: WHAT ABOUT ME?
AIM: to review topic content or vocabulary and encourage pupils to make links between English
learning and their own lives
MATERIALS: Board and/or pictures, exercise books
1. Choose some key words or language from the lesson. Write the words on the board and ask pupils
to read them or use pictures to elicit them and put the pictures on the board.
2. Look at the board and act as if you are thinking carefully. Say:
“What about me?’
Choose and
circle one of the pictures/words. This should be something you can connect to your personal life
(e.g. a cat
–
you like cats or you have a cat).
3. Elicit from pupils why you have circled the cat.
4. Ask pupils to do the same in pairs by telling the word to their partner, who should try to guess what
the connection is.
POST-LESSON TASK 12: WHAT ABOUT YOU?
AIM: to reflect on and share learning
MATERIALS: Exercise book for more literate pupils, or none
1.
Act as if you are thinking and say “What can you remember?” Give a key word from the lesson.
Write it on the board (for more literate pupils).
2.
Nominate a more proficient pupil and ask them “What about you? What can you remember?” Elicit
an answer and write it on the board. Then give another example; then elicit another example. You
could include examples of other language structures too, depending on your lesson focus and
level of pupils.
3. Ask pupils to work in pairs to share what they remember from the lesson. More literate pupils can
write in their notebooks or it can be done as a speaking activity. This would also be a little quicker.
Set either a time limit or a number of words limit.
