Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
Teach transport words as parts of one useful journey message. Require meaning, short retrieval and original use before the independent Final Practice.
| Time | Teacher does | Student does | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–3 | Frames a familiar journey. | Chooses a start and destination. | A clear purpose. |
| 3–8 | Organises words by function. | Sorts and says target language. | Accurate word groups. |
| 8–12 | Plays two short models. | Finds transport, places and times. | Six heard details. |
| 12–16 | Hides the word bank and prompts recall. | Retrieves words and chunks. | At least eight items. |
| 16–20 | Models one complete message. | Builds three short journeys. | Meaningful sentences. |
| 20–25 | Gives a simple travel card. | Chooses and explains a journey. | A complete route message. |
| 25–30 | Changes one detail and scores. | Performs and retries independently. | VR/FP evidence. |
1. Choose an everyday journey
3 minSTUDENT TASK

- Choose one destination.
- Choose a time for the journey.
- Say: “I go from ___ to ___.”
You are ready whenYou have a start, a destination and a time.
Teacher Help
Accept a real or fictional journey. Do not ask for a home address; a general place such as home, school or Central Station is enough.
2. Organise the new vocabulary
5 min| Word group | Target language | Use it |
|---|---|---|
| Transport · nouns | bus, train, taxi, ferry, bike | It is a bus. / I take the train. |
| Journey actions · verbs | take, leave, arrive, get on, get off | I get on the bus. / We arrive at nine. |
| Place chunks | leave from, arrive at, go from ___ to ___ | The train leaves from Central Station. |
| Time and choice chunks | at eight o’clock, by bus, by train, because it is quick | I go by bus because it is quick. |
STUDENT TASK
- Say the five transport words.
- Choose three journey actions.
- Build one place chunk and one time chunk.
- Make one short sentence from every word group.

FP · Functional PerformanceGives the start, destination, transport and time clearly without a supplied sentence.
Teacher scoring guide
Score the first unsupported message, then score the focused retry separately.
0 · Not yetThe criterion is not demonstrated after one clear prompt.
1 · With supportThe criterion is partly demonstrated or needs a supplied word or frame.
2 · IndependentThe criterion is clear without a model or supplied key sentence. Natural A1 hesitation is acceptable.
Target: 3/4 overall with FP = 2 and no zero.
The lesson is complete whenYou give and update the new journey details without reading a model.
Teacher Help · scoring and retry
Score the first unsupported message before feedback. Give one vocabulary or chunk correction, then rerun only the weakest sentence with less support.
