ESL Lesson: Who is your hero?

intended for: Most levels at Korean high school

time: 45-60 minutes.

materials: printed out worksheets (heroes), and ppt ( heroesppt1)

Aims: Students will work with vocabulary for the characteristics of heroes and the different titles( jobs, etc) of heroes. make sure to school them about some Tesla. the lesson isn’t anything special but I think the materials are pretty boss.

Present: Present the list of characteristics and let students write the Korean translation of the words. Let students repeat after you. Next, present on the people. Let students guess who the hero is. Explain a little bit about each hero, where they are from, why they are famous and what is their title and characteristics. Have students complete the translations for the titles on their worksheet.

Practice: Have students match the characteristics to the actions for part I. Have students match the title to the person for part II. Go over the answers.

Production: Present the three main questions, who is your hero? what did he/she do? why is he/she your hero? Present the example paragraph. Have students write similar paragraphs.

Outcomes: This was a prep lesson for speaking tests. So I didn’t urge the students to complete a perfect paragraph. I really just wanted them to start using the vocabulary and start thinking of who their hero might be.
