Lesson Summary
In this lesson, the main focus is on the listening and speaking skills with the integration of writing. For the set induction, the
song of I love you by Barney is being played to capture the attention of pupils.
In the stage of pre-listening, pupils are being told some stories that show the values of love and care in a family. They are
encouraged to help each other in a family in order to show kindness and respect among family members. In between, pictures
are also displayed in order to ensure that they are clear about what are the values of love and care that have been shown by a
family member.
Next in the while-listening stage, pupils are required to read a short essay. After that, nouns are introduced to pupils in order to
guide them to write a short essay neatly and equipped with simple sentences.
In the post-listening stage, pupils are needed to learn phoneme through a jazz chant. Group activity has been launched in order
to cultivate the value of cooperation among pupils to discuss the best answer in each group. They are also required to say and
spell the words after discussion.
In the closure stage, all learned knowledge is repeated in order to strengthen the memory of pupils.

Justification
I have considered few factors before I started to design the lesson plan and exercise
questions for students. First of all, primary three students in 2013 are the first batch of
KSSR students, therefore it is necessary to launch different teaching method in order to
maximize the advantages accordance to the KSSR education system. I have realized that
KSSR education system does not encourage teachers to force the students to study and
memorize all the things in text book because that would limit their brainstorming and brings
unexpectable effects to their study in future. Therefore, I will have to think of new, interesting
and attractive teaching method in order to ensure students study in a comfortable and
stressless environment. In this point, I will have to make sure that students not only able to
adapt to the study environment within short period of time, but also able to absorb the
required knowledge efficiently and effectively. Therefore, I have designed the lesson plan
that has attached with family values, song and jazz chant in order to capture the attention
and interests of students to study.
It is no doubt that family is the closest person to any students. Therefore, the family
values such as love, compassion, kindness, respect and appreciation can be taught and
cultivated before any lessons started in order to attract the students to pay attention to
teacher. Besides that, I will also have the chance to train the skills of students to think and
identify something through encouraging them to care about their family members. Students
will be able to think something before they start doing or learning something. Certainly, the
steps of guiding and leading must not be avoided during the procedure of teaching.
Otherwise, some students whom do not posses family values and appreciation mindset will
not be able to pay attention in the class.
I have decided to teach noun at first because I personally think that nouns are the
first and the most important grammar that has to be taken care in sentence making and
essay writing. Every sentences and essay require a noun, which include name, things and
places. Since essay writing is being introduced to primary three students, therefore it is
necessary for ensure that they can master the use of nouns in their sentence making and
essay writing. In order to ensure students able to master the use of nouns in their sentence
making and essay writing in future, I have prepared the worksheet that only introduce
nouns, which include persons, occupations and things.

Meanwhile the second worksheet also focuses on nouns only but the only different
thing is I have used jazz chant to introduce nouns. The purpose of jazz chant is being used
in the worksheet is because jazz chant not only able to capture students attention, but also
able to strengthen the memory of students to recognize the use of nouns. Whenever
students are interested on the topic, they are easily adapt to the learning environment. This
will smoothen and fasten the their learning progress in overall.
Besides that, the practice of nouns also allow students to know, recognize and learn
more vocabulary in several fields such as persons, occupations, things and places. The
advantages of learning nouns enable students to recognize and identify someone,
something and places. This will help much in their sentence making and essay writing in
future because they would know how to start writing with a person or a thing. This will also
avoid the problems often faced by students which they do not know what is the name of
person or something.
Last but not least, this teaching method is not the best or perfect , however it is
considered as one of the good methods to capture the attention and maximize their
interests on study.
