Daily Lesson Plan — Unit 7
The Lion King
Subject: English | Class: 2 | Series: Leeds (SNC 2020)
Overview
This unit is a narrative told from the perspective of a lion, the king of the forest. The lion describes how beautiful the forest once was — full of tall trees, animals, birds, water springs, and hills. Hill tribes lived in harmony with nature. But then "civilized" people came and destroyed the forest by cutting trees, hunting animals for flesh, skin, tusks, and claws, and robbing resources. The lion appeals to humans to find a solution. The unit covers reading comprehension, vocabulary (resources, benefits, subjects), three-letter consonant clusters (shr, spl, str, thr, spr, scr, sch), capital and small letters, alphabetical order, masculine and feminine nouns, creative writing about a zoo visit, and oral communication about school events.
Day 1 — Reading the Story (40 minutes)
Objectives: Students will predict the story from pictures, read the passage narrated by the lion, and understand the theme of forest conservation.
| Time | Activity | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Warm-up | Ask: "Have you ever visited a forest?" and "What animals live in forests?" |
| 5 min | Pre-reading | Look at pictures (lion, forest animals). Ask students to guess what the story is about. |
| 15 min | Reading aloud | Teacher reads the passage with expression: The lion describes his once-beautiful kingdom — tall trees, climbers, bushes, shrubs, grass, water springs, pools, hills, valleys. Animals: deer, tigers, elephants, bears, monkeys, crocodiles, wolves, peacocks, foxes, jackals, owls, eagles. Plenty of food and water. Birds sang, animals ran races, cubs and lambs moved freely. Hill tribes lived happily and respected the forest. Then civilized people came — cut trees, hunted animals for flesh, skin, tusks, claws. Many animals died. Hunters and smugglers attacked repeatedly. The lion asks: "Are you not responsible? Please find a solution." |
| 5 min | While-reading | Ask: "Who was the king of the forest?" (The lion) |
| 5 min | Post-reading | Ask: "Do you like the story? Why?" and "How can we protect forests on Earth?" Discuss. |
| 5 min | Vocabulary | Teach: resources (natural wealth), benefits (uses), subjects (here, animals that are ruled by the lion). |
Materials: Textbook, board/marker
Differentiation:
- Support: Pause after each paragraph and ask one simple question to check understanding.
- Extension: Students list five things humans can do to protect forests.
Day 2 — Comprehension and Consonant Clusters (40 minutes)
Objectives: Students will answer comprehension questions and learn three-letter consonant clusters.
| Time | Activity | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Recap | Ask: What was the forest like before? What happened when civilized people came? |
| 15 min | Comprehension | Exercise A (page 41): (1) How did the forest look before the civilized people came? (Beautiful — tall trees, animals, water springs, hills) (2) How did the hill tribes look upon the forest? (They loved it, enjoyed the air, respected the animals' freedom) (3) Who was responsible for the destruction of the forest? (Civilized people — hunters and smugglers) (4) Pick out words/phrases showing the lion's anger. (greedy, unkind, selfish, merciless, destroyed, robbed) (5) What steps should we take to protect the forest? (Student's own answer) |
| 15 min | Three-letter consonant clusters | Page 41: Teach clusters with examples — shr (shrimp), spl (splash), str (straw), thr (throne), spr, scr, sch. Exercise A (page 42): Fill in blanks with spr, scr, str, sch — ___een (screen), ___ing (spring), ___ool (school), ___ing (string). |
| 5 min | Practice | Students write two more words for each cluster they can think of. |
Materials: Textbook, notebooks, board/marker
Differentiation:
- Support: For comprehension, accept oral answers and help students form written sentences.
- Extension: Students find three-letter clusters in words from the reading passage.
Day 3 — Capital/Small Letters and Alphabetical Order (40 minutes)
Objectives: Students will sort letters into capital and small, and arrange words in alphabetical order.
| Time | Activity | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Warm-up | Quick review of consonant clusters: What cluster does "shrimp" start with? (shr) "Splash"? (spl) |
| 10 min | Capital and small letters | Exercise B (page 42): Sort letters into two columns — Given: q, t, B, n, T, g, Z, c, U, d, D, F, b, O, H, v, k, S, W, r. Capital: B, T, Z, U, D, F, O, H, S, W. Small: q, t, n, g, c, d, b, v, k, r. Students write each in the correct column. |
| 10 min | Alphabetical order — by first letter | Page 42: Teach — alphabetical order is A, B, C... Arrange fruit names: apricot, orange, plum, strawberry, watermelon (already in order by first letter). |
| 10 min | Alphabetical order — by second letter | Teach: When words start with the same letter, look at the second letter. Example: apple, axe, ant, acorn → acorn, ant, apple, axe. Exercise A/C (page 42-43): Arrange fish, lion, deer, zebra, camel → camel, deer, fish, lion, zebra. Exercise D: cloud, city, crayon, cow, cat → cat, city, cloud, cow, crayon. |
| 5 min | Practice | Students arrange five classmate names in alphabetical order. |
Materials: Textbook, notebooks, board/marker
Differentiation:
- Support: Write the alphabet on the board for reference.
- Extension: Students arrange a list of 8 words in alphabetical order independently.
Day 4 — Masculine and Feminine Nouns, Writing, and Oral Communication (40 minutes)
Objectives: Students will classify nouns as masculine or feminine, write a paragraph about a zoo visit, and practise a dialogue about school events.
| Time | Activity | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Recap | Quick alphabetical order check: Arrange "ball, apple, cat" → apple, ball, cat. |
| 10 min | Masculine and feminine nouns | Page 43: Teach — Masculine nouns are words for men, boys, and male animals. Feminine nouns are words for women, girls, and female animals. Learn pairs: father/mother, brother/sister, fox/vixen, king/queen, nephew/niece, drake/duck. Exercise E: Choose the correct gender for pictures (father/uncle, cow/goat, king/husband, son/mother, tiger/lion). |
| 10 min | Creative Writing | Exercise A (page 44): Write five sentences on "A Visit to the Zoo." Teacher models: "I visited the zoo last week. I saw lions, elephants, and monkeys. The birds were very colourful." Students write their own sentences. |
| 10 min | Oral Communication | Exercise A (page 44): Read and practise the dialogue — Teacher: "Our school is going to observe Sports Day next week. Who would like to participate?" Sana: "Yes, sir. I will participate in it." Nazia: "Me too, sir." Students practise responding to announcements and expressing interest. |
| 5 min | Wrap-up | Discuss: Forests are an ecosystem with many plants and trees. We must protect them. Remind students that animals are living beings and deserve respect. |
Materials: Textbook, notebooks, board/marker
Differentiation:
- Support: Provide a word bank for the zoo writing: animals, birds, cage, colourful, fun.
- Extension: Students write the feminine form of five masculine nouns not in the textbook (e.g., man/woman, boy/girl, prince/princess).
Teaching Tips (from textbook)
- Help and encourage students to read the text with correct pronunciation.
- Tell them that forests are an ecosystem which includes many plants and trees.
