Ask for personal information

Introduction

(2 mins)

Hey there, fifth-grade English students! Today, we are diving into how we ask about personal information. We will start with a chat, talk about new words, do some fun tasks, watch a cool video, and then try out what we have learned in role-plays.

During this class, you as a student will: 

  • enrich your vocabulary with new words, 
  • learn about grammar related to WH-questions,
  • practice reading, comprehension, and writing. 

So, let's make learning awesome! 

 

Task

(10 mins)

*During this class, students will use their textbooks and additional materials provided by the teacher (related to WH-questions). 

Ever wonder how we find out personal stuff about someone? It's all in the questions we ask! Today, I'll break down the way of using questions, or as we call them, WH-questions. Ready to start? Let's go!

Evaluation

(5 mins) 

Students will be assessed based on each activity. During this class, you are expected to reach up to 20 points in total.

The first activity, which is worth 5 points, will assess the reading skills of the students. The second activity will evaluate their ability to connect questions with corresponding answers; this activity has a total of 5 points. The other activity has a total of 10 points, as students will be assessed for their skills in both writing and acting. 

Based on the points you have accumulated, your performance is evaluated in the following manner:

  • Not good (0-10 points): This level suggests that there is a need for improvement.
  • Good (11-15 points): This level indicates a solid performance.
  • Excellent (16-20 points): This level reflects an outstanding performance. 

 

Conclusion

(5 mins)

Take one sheet each student and reflect on your achievements during the class. 

To make it easier for you, I'm providing you with some questions you need to answer:

  • "What have I learned?
  • What went well?
  • Where did I struggle?" 

If you have any comment or suggestion, feel free to do so.
