lesson plan

T: Hello, children! Welcome to the lesson. Listen to the poem, written  by William  Henry  Davies, a Welsh poet, who was born in 1871. This is the most famous poem and it is called:

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass,

No time to see, in broad day light,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at beauty’s glance

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

WE NEED to save our time! There are a lot of things we need to do during our life so time is everything.  

What is the topic of our discussion  today? (Time)

Let’s make a kind of spiderweb and say what TIME associates with? (And repeat everything  you’ve just said.)

Could you answer the question: How do we measure time? (minutes and hours)

But They say : “You spend your time – you spend your life”

What does the TIME means for you, you and me? ( Life)

Can we put the equal mark between these words?

TIME = LIFE

(How do you spend your life? Or how do you spend your time?) The meanings are almost the same, aren’t  they?

What questions can you ask about time? Watch a video and be ready to answer this question.  +VIDEO

Now let’s play a game which is called “Tic –Tac”  (The rules are the following : everybody has a card on the table. You need be careful not to miss your turn.  I select the number card and you need to ask question starting with Who has….?” And ask about time.) Let’s see if you can beat the timer! (you have 5 minutes to finish the game)

Three days ago I asked you to make a list of all activities you were doing during Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.  Please put them in front of you.  Do you know that the average life of an ant is about 50 days?  

Look through the activity list and answer the question :

 Would you spend these days the same if you were an ant? And What would you change? 

Start with: If  I were an ant, I would… (read more about animals)

Look at the board and read the quotation:

“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

What is the quotation about? What did the author want to say to you?  (about time, time is priceless, we can loose our time)

You are quite right! Remember that the way you spend your time is the way you spend your life. Enjoy the beauty of our nature, read more books!  Don’t waste your time on silly actions and activities which will not help you to make your dream come true.

Take self-evaluation cards please. And tick the right answer about you.)

Thank you for the lesson!. Have a good day!
