Lesson Plan of Applying World Knowledge to the Context in English Language
Grade V
Students` Learning Outcomes
- Use critical thinking to respond to the text (prose reading): as;
- Apply world knowledge and own opinion to the text read.
- Relate what is read to themselves` own feelings and experiences.
Information for Teachers
- Post reading is a strategy for reading which mostly check the overall comprehension of the students through different activities or exercises at the end of the lesson/reading passage.
- Students relate each and every information/knowledge with the things that they have in their own environment. This is the way they learn. So you should also relate the text with the real world experiences.
- Asking the students about their opinion is a good way to involve the students in the lesson. The students enjoy and learn more though the active participation in the program.
- The students have already done this kind of lesson in previous grade, so this time you just need to increase the level.
- While teaching the lesson, the teacher should also use textbook wherein and whenever it is applicable.
Material/ Resources
Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, textbook

- Like the frog in the story, have you ever given a present to someone?
- Have you received a present?

The Bear and the Two Travelers Two friends were travelling together, when a bear suddenly appeared before them. One of them, thinking of his own safety climbed up quickly into a tree. The other, not having time to hide, fell flat on the ground, without moving at all, as if he were dead. The bear came up and smelled him all over, and after a while, thinking he was dead, walked away. When the danger was gone, the other traveler climbed down from the tree, and, laughing at his friend asked him: as; “What did the bear whisper in your ear? “He gave me this advice,” the other replied, “Never travel with a friend who leaves you in the danger”. Misfortune reveals the true nature of friend. |
