Explanation
In the last lesson of the unit, students are expected to produce some kind of a material
to practice their knowledge, and dictionary activity can also be fun as young learners
love cutting, sticking and painting things. Video materials are integrated to grab their
attention to the lesson as giving instructions on a grammar topic may distract them from
the lesson. Finally, a quiz assignment is prepared for testing their progress during the
lessons of this unit.
Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
If there happen to be a technical problem with the animated video, the teacher will use
printed pictures and used the board instead as a second plan, and the teacher will help
students with extra materials (pen, sticker etc.) if they have a problem so that they
wont get discouraged.
