Teachers’ Guide (English) Lesson Plans
The newly developed lesson plans are a highly effective, contextualised and easy to use resource that will
serve as a practical tool for public sector teachers. It is hoped that teachers find the lesson plans highly
useful, productive and that they are able to experience visible outcome-oriented learning that is concrete
and enduring. Also, these plans are based on collaborative, interactive, and inquiry-based methodologies
and approaches to make the classroom learning more effective, vibrant and engaging. Based on low cost,
no cost material, these lesson plans can be applied with little effort and gain a lot of benefit for both
teachers and students in terms of learning and conceptual understanding.
The primary focus of the 'COVID-19 Accelerated Response for Education' has not only been on developing
lesson plans that address Student Learning Outcomes and allow teachers to help students discover
concepts, it has been ensured that plans are sequentially sub-divided in three major domains:
Ÿ Teaching
Ÿ Assessment
Ÿ Reinforcement
To ensure that the plan is executed in the best possible manner and that both teachers and learners get the
most out of the plans, it is suggested that time to each domain is allocated in the following percentage
while delivering them:
Ÿ Teaching 75%
Ÿ Assessment 15%
Ÿ Reinforcement 10%
An emphasis on bolstering concepts and skills through Worksheets:
Further to the above, worksheets have also been prepared to supplement and complement all SLOs
mentioned in the textbook. Like the lesson plans, the worksheets will also be shared with you on a rolling
basis. Each worksheet provides practice and strengthens conceptual clarity. Moreover, these worksheets
are aimed at keeping the students engaged in positive and productive activities while at home.
Gaining the most out of the Worksheets:
As mentioned above, the purpose of the worksheets is to consolidate and clarify concepts, but they can
also be used as:
Ÿ Assessment for learning
Ÿ Additional resource to be used in class
Ÿ Sample activities for teachers to replicate and devise their own worksheets on similar line.
Tips for Teachers:
To optimize these developed lesson plans, it is advisable for teachers to:
Ø go through and comprehend the relevant lesson plan well (Read and understand the text at least
twice)
Ø keep the relevant textbook with you when going through the plan
Ø read and comprehend the relevant chapter
Ø make notes if required
Ø ensure the availability of mentioned resources
Ø highlight the SLO's, progression of activities, stages, transitions, and key points
Ø visualize your actual classroom, space, seating plan and challenges
Ø foresee the organization of group, pair or individual work
Ø play the role of facilitator, leader and manager
Ø try your best to execute the lesson plan in its true spirit
Ø ensure proper time management
Ø adapt activity, if it is unavoidable
ii
Teachers’ Guide (English) Lesson Plans
Ø Use teacher's discretion in implementation of the lesson i.e if you feel that a concept needs more
time, you may extend the lesson to the next period
Ø Wrap up the lesson with good spirit leaving a positive message.
Assessment/Evaluation:
This section focuses on ensuring that your students have arrived at their intended destination. Teachers
need to gather some evidence that they did.

Ÿ There are two main types of questions: Yes/No questions and Wh- question. Wh-questions are
questions starting with Wh- words including what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why
and how.
Ÿ Question words are used to ask about specific qualities, times, places, people and so on. Below is a
list of question words and example sentences:

Teachers’ Guide (English) Lesson Plans
Grade 6
Unit 5 Lesson 5
What Used to ask about things - What are you doing?
- What do you think about the travel?
When Used to ask about me - When did you go on your last trip?
- When are you planning a trip again?
Where Used to ask about places - Where's the most beau ful travelling des na on
in Pakistan?

Information for Teachers
Ÿ In our daily/routine life, we have to use verbal and nonverbal language to pass on some directions /
instructions or convey our message.
Ÿ In this process of two-way conversation, both the speaker and the listener play vital role to acquire
or produce desired results.
Ÿ At times, one character (speaker) delivers some instructions/directions to be carried out or to be
fulfilled to infer or acquire the appropriate or proper outcomes.
Ÿ On the other hand, the listener has to be very attentive, alert, careful and responsible to follow and
derive the ultimate possible conclusions or results.
Ÿ Our instructions should be based on very clear and easily understandable directions, so that the
listener may follow without any problem to produce the ultimately required and desired results.
Ÿ Make sure that if the listener is failed to respond correctly, please restate the directions or
instructions.
19
Teachers’ Guide (English) Lesson Plans
Grade 6
Unit 5 Lesson 6
Ÿ Some social settings require more formal ways to communicate and pass on instructions/directions
with elders, teachers, family friends and strangers.
Ÿ We have to come across different situations daily and have to take into account different viewpoints
of different people.
Ÿ Some situations require or demand to extend the ideas in the light of the discussion on some certain
issue.
Ÿ We have to opine and to give reason for that situation as well as accept reasons from others for their
opinion and actions against a certain direction/ situation or instruction.
Ÿ This lesson ''Travelling Etiquettes'' is very specific to convey the directions and instructions for safe
travelling.
Ÿ If you provide a safe environment to the students and enforce the rules of group discussion to
interact with one another, they may learn the travelling norms very easily.
Ÿ And for this, a role play activity may be arranged so that students do not make fun or fight with one
another, they will then have opportunity to express themselves in the class regarding the said topic
in a very organized and systematic way.
Ÿ Provide relevant knowledge, vocabulary and phrases to students to learn, practice and reproduce
appropriately while teaching them how to help and keep safe not only ourselves but the rest of the
people also while travelling.
Ÿ People may argue with you to be very vigilant, give reasons for your opinion of being very watchful.
Ÿ Create opportunities for students to have real conversation with each other rather than just role
plays in class. This will help to develop students' interpersonal skills.
Ÿ Give your students vocabulary to show their identity and use previously learnt formulaic
expressions for greetings and routine social courtesies, different viewpoints, discussion, expressing
ideas/ manners according to age, gender and status of the addressee.
Ÿ Give your students vocabulary to show their identity and use previously learnt formulaic
expressions especially they have learnt previously for safe trafficking.
Ÿ Since these are not tasks that will be done only once rather, we are calling them “routines” and not
“activities”.
Ÿ It is extremely important that you model the rules/directions or courtesies of travelling that you are
teaching to the students:
Ÿ Remember to say “I feel sorry for the lost bag of yours while travelling in the bus.''
Ÿ “I should have told you to be very alert and vigilant''

Information for Teachers
· Pronouns are words that are used both for common and proper nouns.
· A reflexive pronoun is usually used when the object of a sentence is the same as the subject.
· We use reflexive pronoun when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or non-
person/thing.
· The reflexive pronouns can also be used to emphasize action of the subject.
Example:
¦ I saved myself against danger.
¦ He injured himself.
¦ She washed clothes herself.
¦ They looked at themselves in the mirror.
· Each personal pronoun such as I, we, they, you, he, she, it has its own reflexive pronoun. Reflexive
pronouns end on "self" when they are singular.
· They end on -selves" when they are plural. There are eight reflexive pronouns:

Information for Teachers
· A pronoun that does not refer to any specific person, place, amount or thing is called indefinite
pronoun. We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or
what they are. We use pronouns ending in -body or -one for people, and pronouns ending in -thing
for things:
Example:
¦ Everybody enjoyed the match.
¦ I opened the door but there was no one at home.
¦ It was a very clear day. We could see everything.
¦ The mouse went somewhere behind the food cartons.
¦ Somebody came to meet me but I was not at home.
¦ Nothing was there to eat in the kitchen.
· Most indefinite pronouns are either singular or plural. However, some of them can be
46

Grade 6
Unit 5 Lesson 7
Ÿ singular in one context and plural in another.
Ÿ We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:
Examples:
¦ Everybody loves seema.
¦ Everything was ready for the party.
Ÿ Indefinite pronouns can represent either count nouns or non-count nouns.
Examples:
¦ I would like to go to Murree this Summer.
I would like to go somewhere this Summer.
¦ Ali gave me this pen.
Someone gave me this pen.
¦ I will not tell your story to Hassan.

Information for Teachers
Ÿ Oral communication has two parts: use of language and interpersonal skills.
Ÿ If you provide a safe environment to the students and enforce rules of turn taking in group
discussion and for different patterns of interaction, you may consume students' energy in a very
constructive and positive way.
Ÿ It is so that students do not make fun of one another or fight with one another, they will then have
the time, courage and better source to express themselves in the class.
Ÿ Provide phrases for students to learn, practice and reproduce appropriately while teaching them to
use various functions to ask and respond to questions of personal interest and general everyday
aspects. However, give them multiple options to respond.

¦ What is your plan to spend leisure time?
¦ To be honest, I like enjoying with my family.

Ÿ Create opportunities for students to have real conversation with one another rather than just
role plays in class. This will help to develop students' interpersonal skills.
Ÿ Give your students vocabulary to show their identity and use previously learnt formulaic
expressions for greetings and routine social courtesies/manners according to age, gender and
status of the addressee.
Ÿ Since these are not tasks that will be done only once rather we are calling them “routines” and
not “activities”.
Ÿ It is extremely important that you model the questions and responses of your personal interest
and everyday aspects that you are teaching to the students.
Ÿ Remember to say “I feel pleasure to have fun with my kids” “Do you like to do the same with

· explain that uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They may be
the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous
to be counted (liquids, powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb.
They usually do not have a plural form.
Examples:
tea, sugar, water, air, rice, knowledge, beauty, anger, fear, love, money etc.
· explain that we cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an uncountable noun,
use a word or expression like some, a lot of, much, a bit of, a great deal of , or else use an exact
measurement like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you
want to ask about the quantity of an uncountable noun, you ask "How much?"
