Activities & Rationales

Set Induction

Warm-up game:

Teacher prepares 3 to 4 “guessing envelopes” (see appendix

(5 minutes)

Guess Me If You

1), which consist of one major tourist attraction in each



Can

envelope.



(Appendix 1)

Asks students to chooseoneof the envelopes and they are





required to guess the name of the tourist spot based on the





hints given by the teacher.





The teacher has to read out loud the hints to facilitate the





students in their guessing.





Teacher has to reveal the answer after the students have





guessed it correctly or after a time limit set by the teacher.





Rationale:





To gain students’ interest towards the lesson and relate to





their previous knowledge (preposition and topic).







Presentation

Reading text

A text (Going to Taman Desa) is distributed for students to

(15 minutes)

Going to Taman

read silently.



Desa (Appendix 2)

Comprehension questions are asked to guide students to





get the meaning of the text.



-   Comprehension

o  Example:



questions

Where were the writer and her brother





heading to?





Who were they visiting?





Rationale:





Questions asked are to guide the students throughout the





whole process of understanding the text through the skimming





and scanning skills.



Route-Drawing





Map of Taman

A map of Taman Desa (Appendix 3), which is derived from



Desa (Appendix 3

the reading text is then distributed to the students.



and 4)

The students will have to read the text again and draw the





route on the map based on their understanding.





After the students have completed, the teacher then





unveils the correct route (Appendix 4) by discussing with





the students how the route is obtained.





Teacher highlights some of the preposition of direction





used in the text that helps to “generate” the routes. (for





example: across, over, along)





Rationale:





The whole idea of drawing the route based on the text that the





students read will check whether they are able to identify the





specific information of the text particularly concerning the





usage of preposition.

Practice

Interactive Game

This is a interactive game, in which the class is divided into 4

(15 minutes)

Maps of The Fishy

smaller groups (depending on class size)



Town (Appendix 4

The teacher will first distribute each group with Task A.



and 5)

Each group will have to make 3 to 5 sentences that “describe”





their routes to a destination that they wanted to go by using





preposition of direction learnt earlier.





Then the teacher will distribute each group with Task B. One





group will describe their routes and the rest of the groups try





to guess where they are heading.





The group that gets it right takes the turn to start “describing”





their route.





The game can be continued by asking students to decide on





new destination depending on availability of time.





Teacher then asks the students to explain how they come





about getting the right answer.





Teacher should again highlight the preposition used by the





students.





Rationale:





This interactive activity will enable the teacher to check





whether the students can use preposition of direction





appropriately according to context. The game is also highly





interactive and helps to encourage communications among





students in the class.







Closure

A review of the

Teacher gives a general overview to the students of what they

(5 minutes)

lesson

have learnt in the lesson and a preview of the next lesson.



Moral value

Teacher  also  talks  about  the  moral  value  –  “patience  is  a





virtue”  based  on  the  context  of  the  text  given  earlier  on.





Students are encouraged to be patient whenever bad things





happened and treat it as a challenge to push forward.

Appendix 2: Reading Text





Going to Taman Desa



Last Saturday, my brother and I went to visit our cousin Ally. She was sick and was admitted to the hospital. The day before, mom advised us to depart early as traffic jams often occurred in the peak hour around eight in the morning. After we have taken our breakfast, we took a bus to the bus station. It was around seven o’clock. That was the first time for us to go to Taman Desa, we were not familiar with the place and had to bring along a map that dad had drawn for us few days earlier.



Looking at the map excitedly, we then walked along Jalan Parit until we reached a T-junction. Later, we saw a row of shop houses on the opposite side of the junction. We went across the road and stopped by to buy some fruits, flowers and magazine there. After that we continued and walked along Jalan Bayu. While we were walking, we were nearly knocked down by a reckless motorist who disobeyed the traffic rules. He did not stop and apologise but kept staring at us as if we were the one who offended him. My brother and I lamented on the incident while continuing our journey.



Then we arrived at a park, which is well-known by its beautiful flowers and landscape. I begged my brother to accompany me for at least half an hour in the park as the hospital is not far from the park. Sadly, I broke one of the flower pots at the park when I ran over a small bridge to the other side of the park. Being scolded by its care taker, we were fined and



Downheartedly, we proceed along the road until we came to a sharp bend and turned right to reach the hospital. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to visit Ally as the visiting hour has just over. “What a bad day!!” I said to my brother. We were then forced to wait until lunch hour in order to pay Ally a visit. Later, we chatted with Ally and told her about the accident that I have made.



It was still early after visiting Ally, so my brother decided to walk to the post office to buy some stamps. We walked along Jalan Bayu and passed a fire brigade where we saw the firemen were busy maintaining the fire engines.



After that, we went over Merdeka Bridge. I could see a lot of water lilies floating on Sungai Malik. Under the bridge, there was a few people busy fishing. Being not aware of my footstep, I skidded and fell down. Luckily, I only suffered some minor injuries. My brother was very worried and called my uncle to bring us back after buying his stamps at the post office, which is opposite the public library. He told me that we better went home before any bad things happened to me again. What a bad day!
