Salam....your lesson plan is well-organized...I like the idea of matching countries and capital with their respective continents and countries...I myself has forgotten few of them hehe... :-)
BalasPadamA simple topic but with the use of a game it would work well in the classroom
BalasPadamI like your lesson plan and I do agree with Dr. Izaham,perhaps you could involve games in one of your activities...that ought to make student become lively and eager to participate (just a suggestion). Well done! ;-)
BalasPadamamy, I think you misunderstood.the introduction to the topic is a game.students have to guess the continents and oceans on the globe by clicking on the checkppoints.
BalasPadami like..you know wat, i initially was going to do the exact same topic as urs (are we telekinetic or something? haha), about different countries and all but i switched to another as you already know. yours is interesting and informative and clicking on the checkpoints reminds me of a game show that i used to watch when i was a kid called, "Where is Carmen SanDiego?" have you heard of it? i loved that show and this lesson plan reminds me of that show. kudos to you =)
BalasPadamWow dayana this is interesting but educational at the same time too. I think this would work well as an introduction and i think the students will look forward to their next lesson.
