Hi Paula!

It was nice to read your lesson plan, thank you for it. I think you lesson plan is very concrete and easy to implement in a real classroom situation. I like that you use different kinds of activities because there is something for those who like to work alone and those who like to work in groups and make a presentation for a larger audience.

It is wonderful, that your students can already use the Scratch so that they can create a game about the given topic. I think it is a beneficial to link the subject-matter to the building a game activity. All these new digital tools are just an means to learn the actual content in a interesting and funny way.

I can not use the Scratch myself but I tried it now after reading your lesson plan. Maybe I will learn to use it during my summer holiday. Happy holidays! Laila

Thank you for you lesson plan! I have never heard about lipogram, the idea of the game sounds like fun and interesting. I am sure this kind of game develops and enriches the vocabulary of the students. And I am sure they enjoy to play this game together. I like the teamwork in your lesson plan and also about the small contest between groups. Most of the children like competition and especially when they can do it in the groups. A competition (against each other or against time for example) makes us to try harder, I think. I guess that there will be different in outcomes when all groups use the same text as a starting point, so the intensity will remain until the end of the lesson. Happy summer holiday! Yours Laila
