Rationale for the 'COVID-19 Accelerated Response for Education':


The world has faced an unprecedented grim situation (COVID-19) starting from the end of 2019,
continuing in 2020, that has played havoc and has left bitter marks which will be etched on the memory of
mankind for centuries to come.
The repercussions of this pandemic have been felt in all disciplines of life including economy, education,
habits, cultural norms, health care services, etc. so severely that the world finds itself helpless. Institutes
imparting education had to modify and adapt their educational services strategies to cope with the new
challenges after the closure of these institutes for about 6 months in Pakistan. Under the directions of the
Government of Punjab, the Curriculum & Textbook Board of the province decided to initiate an
'Accelerated Learning Program' to speed up the teaching and learning activities and to make up for the
time lapse the education field has had to face due to (COVID-19).
Journey from ALP to the need-based and time-bound COVID -19 Accelerated Response for Education:
The first step in responding to the challenge of school closure due to COVID 19 was to devise an
Accelerated Learning Programme for grades 1 to 8. It was deemed important to select three major subjects
of study vis a vis English, Mathematics and Science and address all major and important skills and concepts
within these areas of study in the most effective manner. Subsequently, it was the Herculean task to
squeeze a nine-month syllabus of study into a five-month period, keeping in view skills development,
conceptual understanding, horizontal and vertical alignment of the Student Learning Outcomes and a
gradual but logical progression of concepts for all grade levels.
Lesson Plans as a manifestation of the Accelerated Learning Programme:
In the next step, SLOs were aligned with the material and exercises of the textbooks which ultimately
culminated into the development of Lesson Plans. These lesson plans will be shared with you on a rolling
basis. It is expected that these plans will act as a ready resource for teachers to achieve learning outcomes
in an efficient and effective way. Along with the Lesson Plans, it was decided to develop age-appropriate
and engaging worksheets that would benefit students and act as a reservoir for reinforcement of skills and
concepts taught in class. Therefore, subject experts were engaged to undertake the daunting task of
reshaping and reconfiguring the syllabuses for Mathematics, Science and English.
It has been ensured that the lesson plans are aligned with the level of students and the demand of the
Student Learning Outcome. The focus, during this entire exercise, has also been to oversee that classroom
instruction is aligned with the goals and objectives of curriculum. Every effort has been made to help foster
positive attitudes among students towards learning. Yet another purpose of this exercise is to help
teachers create a healthy learning environment in classrooms that is lacking due to the pandemic.
It is a known fact that proper and well thought out lesson planning serves as a checklist that guides
teachers to be systematic in the effective delivery of their lessons. Equipping teachers with a systematic,
cohesive and an organized breakdown of the syllabus and providing them with well-planned lessons is in a
bid to help them be prepared to take on any unforeseen challenges during the process of teaching and
learning. Notwithstanding, lesson plans serve as historical documents of teaching practices whereby
teachers have a point of reference to look back, reorganize and update their lesson for future usage.
Moreover, well thought out lesson plans help teachers to address challenges during lessons and employ
pedagogies that enhance and consolidate learning. Not only this, but a good lesson plan minimizes the
negative effects of learning on students, in case of teacher absence, as a cover teacher can deliver the
lesson using the guidelines elaborated upon in the plan. Just like every good game needs a plan to win,
similarly, every teacher needs a good plan to achieve lesson objectives. Last but not the least lesson
planning prevents the over-reliance on textbooks, as direct and the only material for teaching.

i
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.

Components of Lesson Plans:


Common elements in plans for lessons or units of study are a title/topic/problem, identification of Student
Learning Outcomes (SLOs), a sequence of learning activities including introductory, developmental and
concluding activities, a list of materials to be used and assessment strategies.
Choosing the Topic:. You can choose a topic from the textbook, a skill such as information gathering, a
value such as peace, a current affair topic or an area of special concern such as the environment.
Identifying Student learning Outcomes (SLOs) from the Curriculum. The national curriculum has
identified the Student Learning Outcomes to be achieved for each topic (if you do not have access to the
National Curriculum document for the subject you are teaching you could develop SLOs yourself).
Identifying the Student Learning Outcomes helps you to clarify the knowledge, skills and attitudes/values
to be developed. Choose only one to three SLOs to develop your lesson (many more for a unit plan).
Development: Learning Activities:
Introductory Activities:
Introductory activities are designed to introduce the topic, a sub-topic or to establish connection with the
previous lesson. They are designed to build readiness, create interest, raise questions and explore what
children already know about the topic, recall relevant information, motivate students and focus their
attention on the topic/theme/problem to be studied. Introductory activities include arrangement of
pictures and other times that stimulate interest and questions. It may be based on the teacher posing
questions, stating a problem or a dilemma, reading a poem or story, or inviting a guest speaker.
Developmental Activities:
Developmental activities should grow out of the introductory activities. There should be smooth
transitions between the activities to provide a smooth learning sequence. These activities are designed to
realize the Student Learning Outcomes. They introduce new concepts, skills and values or build on past
learning and should be linked with each other. They should flow from data gathering or intake activities to
data organizing activities, to demonstrative or applicative activities, and move on to creative and
expressive activities. Data gathering or intake activities provide the needed input to handle questions and
hypotheses. Organizing activities helps structure and summarize information. Applicative or
demonstrative activities extend learning and develop the ability to use concepts and skills. Creative and
expressive activities enrich learning and develop the ability to improvise and apply learning in original
ways.
Concluding Activities:
Concluding activities are activities that serve to consolidate, summarize, or facilitate students' application
of knowledge and skills to a new situation. They are generally related to the main idea of the lesson.
Material Resources:
A key part of planning is to ensure the resources required to impart the lesson effectively. Resources are
planned, identified, developed, or adapted for both teachers and students
Assessment of Learning: Assessment strategies tell us how well or to what extent the student learning
outcomes have been achieved. Assessment of learning is important in all phases of the lesson/unit from
introduction to conclusion. A variety of tools can be used to assess the realization of the chosen Learning
Outcomes. Some of these will be prepared as part of the learning activities, for example, the drawing and
labelling of a map, the checklist for evaluating a discussion, the final written report. Other tools such as
tests can be prepared ahead of time as well.
iii
Teachers’ Guide (English) Lesson Plans

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.

A teacher, at this stage, should ask herself/himself:

Ÿ 'How will I evaluate Student Learning Outcomes that were identified?'


Ÿ 'What mode of assessment will give me the most accurate and clear picture of my students' learning
and progress?
Ÿ 'What gaps have I identified in learning that need to be rethought, and reassessed?'
Ÿ 'How can I make my assessment of students reliable and valid?'

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:

Personal Pronouns Reflexive Pronouns

I myself – first person singular


we ourselves – first person plural
you (singular) yourself – second person singular
you (plural) yourselves – second person plural
he himself – third person singular
she herself – third person singular

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

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.
I will not tell your story to anyone.

Information for Teachers

Ÿ The present continuous tense is used for describing actions and activities being done/taking place
at the time of speaking.
Ÿ 1st form of verb adding ''ing'' to it makes progressive form of the tense that is used to express an
action or routine work being done at the time of information or statement being given.
Ÿ To show the work or action happening at the moment, some auxiliary/helping verbs are used to
perform their role along with the main verb.
Ÿ Auxiliaries or helping verbs are used keeping in mind the subject and auxiliary verb agreement e.g.
singular or plural form of the subject or doer.
Examples:
is He, she, it or any singular name

are We, you /anything/name that is plural in form

am I only being the indefinite subject

Ÿ Simple formula to make sentences for this progressive form of tense is as follows:
Subject + is/am/are + 1st form of the verb/main verb +ing + object.
Examples:
¦ The players are playing in the ground.
¦ Am I singing a sweet song?
¦ She is knitting a sweater.

Information for Teachers

Ÿ There are three stages in reading skills:


¦ Pre-reading
¦ While-reading
¦ Post-reading
Ÿ Pre-reading section introduces students to the subject matter under discussion and gives them an
opportunity to express their own experiences, views and understanding of it. This activity
centralizes language as a vehicle for communication, prompting students to share their opinions
with others, leading them to accept and understand different points of view. It also allows students
to explore the topic further by getting new information or to consolidate established information.
Ÿ This activity will also help the teacher to evaluate the level of oral competency each student has
gained.
Ÿ At pre-reading stage, students try to guess the actual text. It sparks students' interest and gives

76

students an opportunity to begin thinking about or anticipating the story while making
connections.
Ÿ Pre-reading strategy sets the purpose for reading and enable students to make predictions about
what might happen in the story/poem/text. As students make predictions, make connections, and
set purpose, comprehension of the story/poem/text is increased.
Ÿ Context clues are words in the same sentence or passage that give you clues to what an unfamiliar
word means. These clues will help you understand the meaning of the unknown word in a story or
passage.
Ÿ There are Seven types of context clues:
¦ Definition context clues
¦ Synonym context clues
¦ Antonym context clues
¦ Comparison context clues
¦ Contrast context clues
¦ Description or Example context clues
¦ Visual context clues

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

104

Grade 6
Unit 7 Lesson 6

Ÿ Give your students vocabulary to express likes, dislikes, express needs and feelings and express joy
in a natural and polite manner to teach them to be engaged in group discussion or any casual
/routine-based conversation by taking turns and by applying different patterns of interaction.
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
your friends/siblings?”
Ÿ Tell the class that when such expressions are used in routine life, they make our language livelier
to emphasize the importance of such formulaic expressions.
