Lesson
Structure:
|
1)
Getting started (20 min.)
•
I will start the class with “today’s objectives” where I will give
students an overview of the class. Then we will review the chapter 5 vocabulary
and dialogues. I will also review the basic verbs by saying each one and having
students act them out. For example, I will say, “stand up,” and they will stand
up, and so on. I will give special attention to the irregular verbs and their
imperative forms.
2)
Instruction- Interpretive task
•
I will show students a chart on Powerpoint explaining how to make imperatives
from infinitives.
•
The chart will be divided into four parts describing infinitives, as well
as intimate, casual, and polite forms of imperatives.

3) Student hands-on activity (Interpersonal task- 20 min)
Students
will play “Simon says” in Hindi. Example: one student will say Simon says, “लिखिए please write.” Then everyone will act
like they are writing. Then the student says, “बैठिए please sit” and if anyone acts it out,
he/she will be instructing Simon says. This way everybody will have a turn to
instruct and play different roles in the game.
4)
Wrapping up: (presentational task- 10 min.)
I
will play the song “aaiye meharbaan” from the Bollywood movie “Hawrah Bridge”:

Students
will have a handout with the text below. While listening to the song, they will
fill in the blanks with the imperatives that they hear.
फ़िल्म : हावड़ा ब्रिज (1958)
__________ मेहरबान, __________ जाने-जां
शौक़ से __________ जी, इश्क़ के इम्तहान
कैसे हो तुम नौजवान, इतने हसीन मेहमान
कैसे करूँ मैं बयान, मिलती नहीं है ज़बान
__________ मेहरबान
देखा मचल के जिधर, बिजली गिरा दी उधर
किसका जला आशियाना, बिजली को ये क्या ख़बर
__________ मेहरबान
