Introduction
One of the joys of teaching is that no two lessons, however meticulously prepared, are ever the
same. The teacher may prepare the same material for two or more different classes of students,
but due to the unique mixture of skills, talents, experiences, strengths, and weaknesses of the
students, the teaching and learning process is never uniform, nor should it be if the teacher is
focussed on meeting the learning needs of a particular group. This means there can never be
one correct way to teach a given topic: hence these teaching guides can only be guides. The
skilled, experienced teacher will take from them what is of value for a given lesson, and adapt
the ideas and materials for his/her group of students.
There is a lesson plan for each unit in the student book but since some units are longer than
others, and students existing knowledge of topics will vary, several periods may be needed to
complete one unit.
Each lesson plan includes a list of teaching objectives and measurable learning outcomes, and
any materials required are also listed for each unit. Although the topic is always known to the
teacher, it is not always obvious to the students, so ensure that this is written clearly on the
board at the start of each lesson.
An Introductory activity has been suggested for each unit, designed to engage the students
interest by relating the topic to their own experience and encouraging their active participation
in the lesson. This activity will also enable the teacher to assess the level of existing knowledge
and understanding.
The activity should lead smoothly to the Student activity which is textbook based. The well
prepared teacher will have read through the text and completed each exercise ahead of the
lesson in order to anticipate any problems that might arise with a particular class. Depending
on the activity, and the level of student confidence, and for variety, ask the students to complete
some of the exercises in pairs or small groups rather than individually, since this will provide an
opportunity for them to discuss various possible ideas and answers.
Answers for each exercise are provided at the end of each lesson plan; in some cases there is no
single correct answer, so always be prepared to discuss and/or accept other possibilities, or to
explain why some alternatives are incorrect.
Each lesson plan ends with a short Recapitulation activity which is designed to reinforce the
learning and to enable the teacher to assess informally the students understanding. Many of
the activities are practical or, particularly for younger students, involve drawing; others involve
oral practice. Make sure that all students participate and teach them how to listen to their fellow
students in a spirit of positive encouragement.
This guide cannot provide the perfect lesson plan for every class, but it is hoped that using it
selectively will help to make teaching and learning English grammar an enjoyable and successful
experience.

Unit 1 Revision
Note Although condensed here into three lesson plans, there is a lot of content in this section
and the revision should not be rushed. The teacher should spend as much time as necessary and
use as many examples as necessary to ensure that the students learning is secure, before moving
on to teach the new material.
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
recognize, write, and match capital and
small letters.
write and identify by name and sound the
five vowels.
to use a/an correctly.
identify familiar common nouns.
distinguish between common nouns and
proper nouns.
Materials required
An alphabet chart; 52 alphabet flashcards, each showing one letter of the alphabet in either
upper or lower case; Blu-tack or similar adhesive material; some familiar classroom objects; a
tray; a cloth large enough to cover the tray
Introduction
To revise the letters of the alphabet, show the students the alphabet chart and sing The Alphabet
Song. Fix the alphabet flashcards on the board in a random order, and ask individual students to
make corresponding pairs of small and capital letters; this should be done in alphabetical order
and the pairs of letters displayed in the correct sequence.
Ask individual students to identify the vowels; elicit from the students that an is used before a
word beginning with a vowel and ask for some examples from the body (an arm, an ankle, an
eye, an ear, an eyebrow/lash/lid, an elbow). Elicit that a is used before words that begin with the
other letters, and ask for more examples from the body.
At this point you may wish to ask the students to open their books at page 1 and read the
section The Letters and the Alphabet.
To revise common nouns, show the students some familiar objects and ask them to name each
of them. Elicit that the words we use to name the objects around us are known as naming words
Write some of the students names on the board and elicit from the students that these are
written with initial capital letters because they are special names (proper nouns). Elicit that the
names of the days of the week are also special names that are written with initial capital letters.
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at pages 56. Read the words in the box on page 5, and
those below the pictures on page 6. Explain that Earth and Sun are special names (there is only
one Sun and one Earth) so they are written with capital letters and we say the rather than a/an.
Explain the tasks and give the students a set amount of time to complete them. Ask them to also
write a or an next to each word. The teacher may wish to explain that before a word beginning
with a vowel, the is pronounced with a long e sound (thee apple, thee ice-cream), and before a
word beginning with a consonant it is pronounced with a short e sound.
Recapitulation
Play Kims game: Arrange 1012 small items (e.g. a rubber, a board pen, an apple, an eggcup,
a dice, etc.) on a tray or table and ask the students to stand where they can see them. Point to
each item in turn and name it. Explain that the students have two minutes to look at the items
and try to remember them. At the end of the two minutes, cover the items with the cloth and
ask the students to return to their seats; give them a set amount of time to write down the
names of as many of the items as they can remember. At the end of the set time, ask individual
students to name one of the items (using a/an) and write a list on the board. Students should
award themselves one point for each item they have on their list; spelling is not important as
long as it is a credible attempt.
Answers
Exercise A a chair, an elephant, a bed, a pigeon, an umbrella, a television, a book, a pencil, a
table, a sofa, a shirt, a computer
Exercise B a skirt, a flower, a leg, a hand, an aeroplane, the Sun, a chicken, a car, a star, the
Earth, a lorry, the moon
Lesson 2 (Page 3)
Teaching objectives
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
correctly substitute the pronouns he/she
and they for proper nouns.
correctly identify and use adjectives.
correctly identify and use verbs and adverbs.
use a preposition to answer questions
beginning Where is.... ?
Materials required
A selection of items of different textures, colours, shapes etc.; sets of 15 items and a collection
of many small items; pictures or simple drawings of people performing actions
Introduction
To revise personal pronouns, make a statement about one of the students in the class, e.g. Nazia
has very long hair. Ask the students to suggest how you would say the sentence if you did not
know the students name. (She has very long hair.) Revise he and they in the same way. Read the
relevant text on pages 23.
To revise adjectives, show the students some of the items you have prepared and ask them to
suggest words to describe them; encourage them to use a phrase rather than a single word, e.g. a
blue pen, an empty lunch box, etc. Include the numbers one five and many in this activity.
To revise verbs, show the students the pictures/drawings and ask, What is he/she doing? Elicit
the term doing word for a word that describes an action.
To revise adverbs, use the same illustrations and ask the students to suggest words ending in ly
to describe how each action is being performed.
Revise prepositions by asking Where is .... ? questions about the positions of items in the
classroom to which the students can respond using the prepositions in, on, under, over, and
across. Alternatively, make a statement about the position of an object, e.g. Sanias bag is on
her desk, and ask the students to say whether it is true or false; if false, they should correct the
sentence.
Student activity
On the board write:
1. a sentence that contains at least one proper noun, an adjective, a common noun, an
adjective, a pronoun, a verb, and a preposition, e.g. Saima screamed loudly when she
saw the large dog in the garden.
2. a list of: naming word, special name, describing word, doing word, -ly word (how?),
where?, he/she/they
Ask the students to copy the sentence in their exercise books and give them some time to work
in pairs to try to identify the words in the sentence that match the terms you have written in the
list, e.g. verbscreamed, saw.
Supply any help needed and write the students answers in the correct places on the list. Repeat
the activity with another sentence.
Recapitulation
Play Simon Says, adding some adverbs where appropriate, e.g. Simon says raise your hand
quickly, turn round slowly, etc.
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
use the conjunction and to join two simple
sentences to form a compound sentence.
write correctly-structured sentences.
use full stops and question marks correctly.
Materials required
Two or three sentences written on flashcards with one word per flashcard; 2 or 3 sentences cut
into halves; Blu-tack or similar adhesive material
Introduction
Fix one set of flashcards on the board in a random order, and ask the students to help you
rearrange them to make one sentence. Use this activity to revise the facts that a sentence must
begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop, and must make sense.
Fix the halves of sentences on the board and ask the students to make complete sentences that
make sense.
Write two simple sentences on the board and elicit and demonstrate that they can be joined to
make one compound sentence by using and.
Write a large full stop and a question mark on the board and elicit where each is used. Ask
students to give you examples of questions and answers (statements).
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at page 4 and read the text with them, giving any
additional explanations as required.
Recapitulation
Make sentences round the class. Write the first word of a sentence on the board and ask the
students to take turns to add words, one at a time, until a complete sentence has been made.
Remind them to add describing words and ly words to extend the length of the sentence. This
activity could be done in groups with the teacher giving the first word of the sentence and
groups competing to see which group can make the longest sentence.
Unit 2 Nouns 1
Lesson 4 (Page 7)
Nouns
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
Teaching objectives
to introduce the term noun
to help students identify nouns in
sentences
Materials required
Sheets of A4 paper and crayons or coloured pencils
Introduction
Ask the students to take turns to tell you a naming word, and write a list of the words on the
board. When the list is complete, introduce the word noun as the grammatical term for naming
words and point out that all the words in the list are nouns.
10
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at page 7 and read the introductory text.
Look at the first sentence and ask the students to identify the nouns before giving them a set
amount of time to complete the task.
Make sure that the students understand all the words in the Spell Well activity; they can be
learned as homework and tested at a convenient time.
Recapitulation
Give each student drawing materials. Show them how to fold the sheet of paper into four and
ask them to select four nouns from the list on the board or those on pages 56 of the text book.
They should draw a picture of one of the items in each section of their paper and write the
noun underneath. These drawings can be used to make a Nouns display in the classroom.
Answers
1. cow, milk
5. rose, flower
9. Honey, bees
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
Materials required
Sets of e.g. books, mugs, scarves, shoes, etc. of different colours/sizes/types
Introduction
Show the students the items belonging to one of the sets you have prepared, e.g. books, one-by-one.
As you show each item, ask the question: Whats this? The students should give the same answer, e.g.
Its a book, each time. When the whole set has been shown, explain that the same noun (book) can
be used for all of the items because they are all items of the same type; nouns that can be used in this
way are known as common nouns. Repeat the activity with the other sets of items you have prepared.
Next write some adjectival phrases on the board, e.g. a heavy book, an interesting book, a
library book. Elicit from the students that the underlined words are describing words they are
giving us information about the noun, but are separate from the nouns.
11
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at pages 89 and read through the text with them.
Explain exercise B, look at the example and then give the students a set amount of time to
complete the task. Check their answers as a class and then ask them to complete exercise A.
Recapitulation
Ask the students to illustrate each of the nouns they have written for exercise A
Answers
Exercise B 2. pony, mare 3. dress, silk
4. glass, milk 5. sums, book
6. wind, lake 7. meadow, grass 8. cap, room 9. meal, hotel 10. bird, wings
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
explain the difference between common
nouns and proper nouns.
distinguish between common nouns and
proper nouns.
identify common nouns in given
sentences.
Materials required
A selection of pictures of famous cities and buildings that the students will recognize; a large
map of the world or globe; A4 size cards showing C on one side and P on the other for each
group of 45 students
Introduction
Write the heading countries on the board and ask a student volunteer to point to Pakistan on the
map or globe; write Pakistan under the heading. Ask other volunteers if they can point to other
countries and write these names on the list.
Write the heading cities on the board. Show the students a picture of a city, e.g. Lahore, ask
them to name the city, and write the name under the new heading; repeat this with pictures of
other cities. Repeat this for famous buildings, e.g. The Royal Fort, Big Ben, the Great Pyramid,
the Taj Mahal, etc.
Ask the students to look at the lists on the board and elicit that all the names you have written
begin with capital letters because they are the names of particular places and buildings. For
example, there are many countries in the world (so the heading can be written without a capital
12
letter) but Pakistan, Australia, Italy, etc are particular countries and the special names for
them are called proper nouns. This is also true of the cities and buildings each of them is a
particular place and its name is a proper noun.
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at pages 1012 and read the text with the students, asking
them to give more examples if possible, e.g. the names of the roads in which they live.
Explain tasks C, D, and E and give the students a set amount of time to complete them.
Make sure that the students understand all the words in the Spell Well activity; they can be
learned as homework and tested at a convenient time.
Recapitulation
Play a team game. Divide the students into groups of 45. Explain that you are going to say a
noun and the group must decide whether it is a common noun or a proper noun. When you
give the signal, a member of each group should hold up the card to indicate their decision
(C=common; P=proper). Allow time for students to reach a joint decision in their groups, and
award points for correct answers.

Introduction
Show the students the calendar and read the names of the months. Make sure that each student
knows the month in which they were born; read the names of the months again and ask the
students to raise a hand when you say the name of the month in which they were born.
Say the names of the first three months of the year and ask the students to repeat them two or
three times; repeat this activity for the next three months, adding them to the first three months
so that the students can recite the names of the first six months fluently. Repeat this until the
names of all twelve months can be recited fluently.
Write the names of the months on the board and explain that, like the days of the week, the
names of the months of the year are proper nouns and begin with capital letters.

Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
correctly use verbs in the present/past
tense to indicate the time of an action.
correctly form the third person singular of
a regular verb (simple present tense).
form the regular simple past tense of a
verb by adding d/ed/ied.
Introduction
Note There is a lot of material in this lesson and the teacher may wish to take two or more
periods to complete it.
Ask a student to tell you what she/he does every day when she/he comes to school e.g. I sit
down, I write, I read , I play with my friends, etc. Write some of the sentences on the board in
the first person (I). Beside each sentence write the same sentence using the students name and
the third person singular, e.g. Ibrahim sits down/writes/reads/plays with his friends. Underline
the verbs, ask the students to look at them and explain, or elicit through questions, that when
we use a persons name or say he/she, we add an s at the end of the verb. To practise this, say a
sentence using I and ask the students to repeat it using he/she/a name (as you decide for each).
For example,
Teacher: I walk to school. (Jamil)
Students: Jamil walks to school.
Using verbs that form the simple past tense by adding d/ed, talk about things that you do every
day, e.g. After school I walk in the park, I cook supper, I mark your books, and I watch television.
Write the sentences on the board and explain that these are things that you do now, or at
present.
Now repeat the information to talk about yesterday, e.g. Yesterday I walked in the park, I cooked
supper, etc. Write the sentences on the board, next to the present tense sentences and explain/elicit
that because these actions happened yesterday, a time that has passed, you use the past tense to talk
about them. Explain that to form the past tense of many verbs the letters ed are added.
Practise this by saying a regular verb in the present tense and asking the students to give you the
past tense form. For example,
Teacher: I look.
Students: I looked.
Other verbs include call, talk, like, want, brush, wave, etc.
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at pages 2425 and read the text as far as exercise A. After
each teaching point, ask questions, and ask students to give examples to assess understanding
and practise the concepts taught. When explaining how to form the third person singular of
verbs ending in y, the teacher may wish to point out that verbs ending in vowel + y (e.g. play,
say, delay) only add s; verbs ending in consonant + y (e.g. try, fry, reply) change the y to i and
add es.
Ask the students to look at Exercise A and answer the questions orally before giving them a set
time to complete the exercise.
Explain that the doubling rule usually applies to short verbs (one syllable) that end in a vowel and
a consonant other than y (or consonant other than y +s in 3rd person singular). Give them a set
amount of time to complete exercise B and ask them to check the spelling of their answers carefully.
Write a verb such as mime/rhyme on the board and ask the students to form the past tense;
elicit that if a verb ends in e in the present tense, it is only necessary to add d to form the past
tense. Ask them to complete exercise C in a set amount of time. When you check their answers,
ask individual students to make a past tense sentence for each verb.
Read the text on page 27 and complete exercise D orally before asking the students to complete
21
the exercise in a set amount of time. When you check their answers, ask individual students to
make a past tense sentence for each verb.
Read the text on page 28 and complete exercise E orally before asking the students to complete
the exercise in a set amount of time. When you check their answers, ask individual students to
make a past tense sentence for each verb.
Recapitulation
Play a team game. Divide the students into teams and draw a column on the board for each
team. Explain that you are going to say a verb in the present tense and a student from each team
should come and write the verb in the past tense. Use verbs from pages 2428.

Introduction
Take the students into the playground and ask them to look around very carefully and try to
remember what they can see. (If this is not possible, ask them to look round the classroom
carefully.) When the students are back in the classroom, ask them what is present in the
playground and encourage them to use is/are in their answers, e.g. There is a bench; there are
four rubbish bins; there is a basketball hoop, etc. Write some of their responses on the board
and elicit that in these sentences the verb is is/are. Explain that this is a special verb that tells us
where something is or what it is like rather than recording an action.
22
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at page 29, read the introductory text, and explain the two
tenses of the verb. Ask volunteer students to use each part of the verb in a sentence.
Ask the students to look at the exercise and answer each question orally before asking them to
complete the task in a set amount of time. Note that questions 5, 6, 7, and 9 can be answered
correctly using either tense. Help the students to explain the differences in meaning when a
different tense is used.
Recapitulation
To practise tenses, go round the class giving each student in turn a short sentence in either the
present or past tense; the student should respond with the other tense from the one you have
used. For example
Teacher: Joseph walks to school.
Student: Joseph walked to school.
Teacher: I was tired.
Student: I am tired.

Materials required
Pictures or simple drawings of people performing different actions e.g. driving, cooking,
running, swimming, diving etc.; a class set of cards each showing a participle that can be acted
out e.g. jumping, reading, hopping, sweeping, etc.
Introduction
Show the students the pictures you have prepared and ask what the person in each picture is
doing; write the students responses on the board so that you have a list of present participles.
Ask the students to look at the list and elicit that all the words end in ing. Explain that just as
ed/d can be added to many verbs to form the past tense, ing can also be added to most verbs to
form a different tense.
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at page 41. Read the introductory text, and give the
students a set amount of time to complete exercise A. As you check each answer, ask individual
students to put the word into a sentence.
Ask the students to look at page 42, read the text and ask the students to complete exercise B,
checking answers and meanings as for exercise A.
Read the remaining text and remind the students that these are the same verbs that doubled the
final letter before adding ed. They may recall that these are usually short verbs that end with a
vowel and a consonant other than y. Ask the students to complete exercise C and check answers
and meanings as for A and B above.
Finally, draw their attention to the spelling of the two participles at the bottom of page 43;
explain that, like the verbs in exercise B, they are both verbs that end in e and should follow the
rule of removing the e and adding ing.
Recapitulation
Play a participles game. Divide the students into two teams, A and B. Give each student a card
and explain that they should not let anybody else see what is written on it. The first member of
team A should mime the action written on his/her card and the first member of team B must
guess the action and should write the word on the board. The teams should take turns to mine
and guess/write. Award points for correct guessing and correct spelling.

performing an action
Introduction
Introduce the lesson in the same way as the previous lesson, but this time write on the board
the full verb, e.g. they are running, he is swimming, she is reading. When the list is complete,
elicit that is/are have been used with the ing form of the verb to say what the person is doing
and explain that sometimes a verb is made up of more than one word. Change one of the verbs
into the past tense, e.g. they were running and ask the students if they can explain what you have
done. Ask them to change the other verbs on the list into the past tense in the same way.
Student activity
Ask the students to open their books at page 44 and read the introductory text. Complete one or
two questions from exercise A orally before giving the students a set amount of time to complete
the task. As you check their answers, ask the students to say if the verb is present or past tense.
Explain the tasks in exercises B and C and give the students a set amount of time to complete
them. Ask them to identify the tense of each verb when checking their answers.
Recapitulation
Taking turns round the class, give each student a verb either in the present or past continuous
tense, e.g. we are sitting, they were writing, and ask him/her to change the tense e.g. we were
sitting, they are writing. If students find this difficult, it may help to add the word now, or
yesterday at the start of the verb; the student should also change this when s/he responds.
