MOOC Final Project - World Travel to English Speaking Countries - 5th grade English

One of my roles as a language assistant is to introduce culture as well as language into their english lessons. Thus the focus of my final project surrounds world travel to English Speaking countries. Each lesson will highlight a single (or a few) English speaking countries, their traditions and culture, in addition to vocabulary and grammar related to traveling. Through a combination of listening, reading, writing, and speaking activities, each student will be able to excel in their best area as well as working on others. The lessons begin with a warm up activity to get the students attentive and engaged, followed by a presentation or video facilitated by the language assistant. The presentations are then followed up by some form of worksheet or kahoot game assessment of their attentiveness during the presentation. Over the week the students will learn a set of 15 travel related vocabulary terms as well as the present continuous and its' use for future plans. By the end of the week students should be able to identify key features of English speaking countries as well as properly discuss future travel plans using vocabulary and the present continuous tense. This lesson will be done over 5, 45 minute class periods consisting of a week of lessons for the 5th grade english classes. The teaching roles will be split between the language assistant and the English teacher. The other posts go more in depth regarding the activities, specific teacher roles, and timing. At the end of the week students will give an oral presentation in pairs and receive a grade individually based on a grading rubric which highlights grammar, vocabulary, organization and speaking skills.
