Lesson Plan
This lesson contains a link to an external video. Please watch the video prior to presenting this lesson to ensure that the content is appropriate for your students.
Tuning In
- Students watch and listen to the Transportation Sounds video on YouTube. During the video, pause after each sound is played. Before the curtain is raised, ask the students what mode of transport they think is making the sound. After watching, ask the students:
- What is transport?
- Why do we use transport?
- How does transport make moving from one place to another easier?
Teacher Instruction
- Display slide 6 from the Transport – Past, Present and Future PowerPoint. As a class, discuss the definition of transport and the different types of transport listed.
- Display slide 7. Conduct a class survey on the types of transport the students and their families use in a week. Record the students’ responses in a table and discuss the results as a class.
- After the survey, ask the students the following questions and record their answers on the board:
- What is the most popular use of transport?
- Why do our families need this mode of transport?
- Could your family live without this mode of transport? Why or why not?
Guided/Independent Learning
- In their workbooks, ask the students to illustrate and label the different types of transport their family regularly uses, including how and why they use it.
- Once the students have finished, ask volunteers to share their family transport and its uses with the class.
Wrapping Up
