ACTIVITIES ABOUT REGIONS

NOTICING PART:

Puppets:

Aim: The aim of this activity to take attention of the children. In order to make students to take part the class and have an idea about it, this activity is done. As they listen to the puppets they will have idea about the region of Turkey.

Materials: To make the puppets, I use two socks, some papers, colorful pencils and adhesive.  There should be a projector machine that the pictures about Erzurum and İzmir will be shown on the board.

Procedure: The teacher comes the class as his hands on his pocket and he asks students “how are you? What did you do at the weekend? The students answer and then he says that he sees his friend at weekend and his friends want to come to the class and meet with his students. The teacher put off the puppets from his pockets and they say “Hi” to the class and then two puppets have conversation. One of them whose name is

STRUCTIRING PART:

Dialogues:

Aims: The aim of this activity is to know how much the students learn the region and their geographical features and how they don‘t understand topic of the region .

Materials: For this I need a dialog which is about the regions that the students will read. There should be a computer and projector machine that the dialog will be shown on the board. There are some pictures about the major city of the region.

Procedure: After noticing activity, it is time to know how much the students learn about the regions. They become two groups. When students read the dialog, other students listen to them silently. The teacher should provide almost all of the students to read the dialogues, because we can see how they pronounce the words and we keep them to take part the class. If we have a large class, we can’t make all students to read, so a few of the students read it. This activity helps students to be ready for the proceduarilising activity.

PROCEDUARILISING:

Letter:

Aim: The aim of this activity is to evaluate whether the students learn the regions and their features. We can learn it by giving them letter homework, If they can write correctly the important city and feature of the region and they don’t make mistakes about region, we can say that they learn and they have idea about what the region and their features.

Materials: For this activity, we use the project machine to reflect the letter on the board. 

Procedure: After the dialog activity, teacher passes the proceduarilising activity. In this process, the teacher shows a sample of the letter to his students.

 DEAR LISA

I’m in Izmir. It is a nice city. It is in the Aegean Region of Turkey. There are many   mountains and rivers in İzmir. There is a sea. You can swim. It is a beautiful place. It is a crowded city

  LOVE CANSU

After they read the letter, teacher wants them to write a letter like that. The students try to write the letter that they will introduce their region and city to their pen friend. They look the words and the sentences from the letter and they improve their writing skills, but the teacher says them not to copy paste. They can do this activity in the class or can do it in the home, both of them are possible. If they do it in the class, the teacher can control them in the class, but if they do this activity at home teacher controls them next week. This activity shows whether the students can learn the subject or not. In this activity we can see the student’s instant produce of the language, because in this stage they can produce the language themselves, because they write a letter and they do it themselves. After the homework the teacher finishes the lesson.
