One month Curriculum Map: Unit 5 (My house)

Week (1)

The objective of the first week is to identify rooms and objects

in the house. These objectives take around 45 minute every
day for 4 days. The focus of first two lessons is on introducing
the new vocabulary, which are the house rooms (dining room,
bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and living room) also some of
the objects in each room (closet, lamp, chair, table, bath tap,
bed, TV, and sofa). the teacher use different tasks, first for
the engagement she but a song about the house rooms (a
bee in my house) the purpose of using music is According to
Don McMannis, an expert on children's music he said that
the "Music has positive effects on people's emotions and
creativity which he add also that the music helps the
students and encourage them for learning and retaining
information which effect on three things of the students brain:
language, hearing and rhythmic motor control, moreover the
music is very easier to retain and remember the information.
The second task is (Put me in my place), so the teacher will

put big picture of the house on the board and she have the
cards of the objects, so each time she will choose one
students to take cards and put it on the correct place. This
activity help the students to remember the objects and where
do they see them on which rooms also it helps the other
students that they may confuse on the name of objects or the
place of it to remember whenever they see it.
Third lesson, first part of the lesson was on reviewing the
vocabulary by using pig poster in front of the board that
include the unit name (my house) The teacher have to kind of
the cards, one that includes the pictures of house rooms and
the objects and the other cards include name of these objects
so the teacher will ask one students each time to take picture
and find the name of this picture from the cards and put it on
the poster.
the pervious lesson review is very important especially for the
students which help the teacher and the students on the
same time, for the teacher it help her to make sure that the
students understand the lesson or they still need some help,
and for the students it help them to remember what they
learn and if they are confuse or forget they can remember .
According to the fading theory he said that you learn are
forgotten when you don't review them.
Anther task was about counting and coloring its individual
activity which each students have a worksheet that include
house picture and the things they need to count so first they
need to count and then write the number and color it. The
purpose of doing it individual is that working individual has
many benefit, Its great chance to let the students think
through on their own and to improve confidence and be
comfortable in working, even when they don't feel certain
about every step, also to work at their own level, rather than
having to adapt to suit their group members. (shmoop.com)

The fourth lesson, the teacher use variety of tasks the first
task, (show me game) which is competition between two
students on the board the teacher put house picture and

The objective of this week is to identify action in a house and
learning grammar (I am, he, she, theyre). These objectives
will take around 45 minute every day for 4 days. So first the
teacher will review the vocabulary and teach the students the
new vocabulary which is the action ( playing, reading,
sleeping, cooking, washing my face, watching TV) and ask the
students were they do these things in which rooms, then the
teacher will start to teach the students the grammar (I am,
he, she, theyre) and for who we use each one and when we
want to say a sentence we use is with it for example, he is
sleeping, she is reading.
The teacher use different activities to teach the students. First
activity was on the board by using PowerPoint which the
teacher put picture and question about it so the students
need to circle to correct answer.
The second activity is group activity which the teacher will
give each group picture of a house with rooms and picture
cards that include the action so the students need to take the
action and stick it on the correct place in the house rooms
they do this action, for example picture of boys washing his

face so they have to stick it on the bathroom. The purpose of

doing this activity as group is it gives students the
opportunity to learn from each other and help each other,
which the group work teaches the students communication
skills and helps them develop interpersonal relationship skills.
