Entry activity How many of you have experienced  a train journey?                                                                                                                                                Eliciting responses You know, when I go for a journey, I will be so much interested in looking out of the window and watching the people around me, looking for different places and faces. How about you?                                                              Eliciting responses Entry to the lesson Shall we go for a train journey today? Yeah, in here.  Watch it.....                              (The teacher projects the prepared video clip showing a train journey from the point of view of a traveller....  Different scenes from the poem are displayed throughout it.)

            

Microprocessing of  the input Now go through your text book, page 64. There is a poem titled From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson. Read it silently and underline the difficult words after reading it. Individual Reading The teacher now asks one of the students to read the poem loudly and while reading it, the clip is played once again. Other students listen as well as watch the clip. The difficult words’ meanings are derived from the visuals of it.  Reading aloud by the teacher The teacher reads the poem once making the ideas and concepts clear for the learners. Group discussions and activity The students are now asked to sit in groups and discuss their ideas and doubts in it. You have seen what were the scenes that the poet saw in his train journey. Now write it in the form of a diary written by the poet on that day. Presentation and Improvisation Now the teacher asks the students to present their write-ups in the class. Mistakes are cleared at the end in a general talk.
