Writing the warm-up section in a lesson plan to teach English Language Learners

The 3P lesson plan template is available here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/lesson-plan-to-teach-English-Language-Learners-11780557

The warm-up part of the lesson plan is an activity that:

· activates prior knowledge

· related to the lesson topic

· get the students ready and focused for the class.

It provides a scaffold that supports students as they progress to more complex tasks.

The warm-up can be a review of a previous lesson, vocabulary or grammar point taught before. It should be closely related to your objective. It builds students' confidence.

It gives students a preview of what they will be learning, helping to set clear expectations.

Choose an easy and dynamic activity that engages your students in active participation to start the lesson taking into consideration the different proficiency levels in your class.

Write the name of that warm-up activity that you selected and list the materials needed. Clearly explain how to do that activity. Keep a list or file of warm-up activities that work well with your class.

Use the lesson plan warm-up bank template.

This part of the lesson is short, it should be between 5 to 10 minutes.

Use the warm-up activities as an informal assessment. It gives you an insight into students' understanding and readiness for the lesson.

Here is a simple an easy idea to write in your warm-up bank. Do a simple chat with the What’s your favorite ---? Worksheets. It can be the favorite color, toy, animal, etc. Get the worksheets here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/My-favorite-worksheets-for-Kindergarten-ESL-11845117
