Final Scenario E

Here is Eric's scenario.

 Context: This is a beginning level class in Vietnam with students in elementary school to junior high.
Topic: Simple future and course objectives.
Objectives: Students will know what to expect from the upcoming term and be able to discuss basic events in the simple future tense.
Materials: Blank sheets of paper and pencils.
Procedure: General introduction (5 min)
  Explanation of the simple future tense (10 min)
  Flash writing assignment- ask the students to write what they want to learn in the class and what they expect to learn (10 min)
  Explanation of syllabus/course objectives (10 min)
  I will now put the students into groups of 3 or 4 and have them discuss what will happen in the future. At first, I want them to focus on where they will live, what they will do, etc. If they cover these areas quickly, they can move on to larger issues, such as what technology will be created, etc. (15 min)
  I will ask each group to summarize their conversation, picking out a few interesting details to present to the class. (5-10 min)
  With whatever time remaining in the class, I will review what was covered today and describe the homework assignment. For homework, the students will write a 5-10 sentence story about a man in the future.
Feedback: I will have the opportunity for feedback on their written assignments as well as through walking around with the groups and commenting on their communicative techniques.
