INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES:

STEP 1:

• Teacher introduces a new concept: using landmarks like trees, buildings, or bridges as signposts when giving directions.

STEP 2:

• Teacher presents a passage containing directions (e.g., "Go straight ahead, take a left turn at the school, and continue until you see a large tree on the right. The hospital is behind the tree.")
• Teacher explains how each directional term and landmark is used.

STEP 3:

• Teacher reads another set of directions aloud. Students are asked to identify key words and the landmarks in the passage.
• Students underline or highlight the terms as they listen.

STEP 4:

• Students pair up and take turns giving directions to one another to various places on the teacher-provided map/diagram.

EVALUATION:

• Review the accuracy of students’ ability to listen and follow the directions provided by the teacher.
• Observe if they successfully use the key directional words during their peer-to-peer practice.

CLASS-WORK:

• Write a summary of the directions from the teacher’s passage using only the key words (left turn, right turn, straight ahead, etc.).

ASSIGNMENT:

• Choose a location in your neighborhood and write a set of directions to get to a nearby landmark using the directional words learned.

CONCLUSION:

The teacher marks the students’ work, provides feedback on any mistakes, and encourages students to practice at home.
