Comment+on+Burcu+Güner+and+Esra+İdil’s+Grammar+Lesson+Plan

I think Esra and Burcu were quite successful in terms of presenting the topic they chose. They taught possessives by basing it on the series called “The Simpsons.” Since “The Simpsons” is a worldwide known series, they could attract students’ attention. And as it is about a family they could easily teach possessives with it. They had lots of activities which were colorful, useful and entertaining. They tried to refer to different intelligences, thus, referred to different learning styles. I think they managed doing this. They taught possessives inductively and to do this they used a lot of activities which helped the lesson to be enjoyable. Esra and Burcu used various pictures (visuals) and this also helped students to understand the topic better and easily.

For the weak parts of the lesson: I think they weren’t prepared for the students’ questions about the topic. They should always be prepared for the questions because students may ask unexpected questions. Another thing is that they expected students to understand the meanings themselves and didn’t give them any chance to focus on meaning.

In a nutshell, they were really successful in terms of teaching what they wanted to teach. If they work a little bit more on it, it will be a perfect lesson.
