Grade Level: Primary School (3rd to 5th grade)

Objective: - To introduce and familiarize students with phrasal verbs. - To help students understand the meaning and usage of phrasal verbs in context. - To encourage students to use phrasal verbs in their spoken and written communication.

Materials: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Flashcards with phrasal verbs (e.g., break up, look after, give up, etc.) - Worksheets with sentences containing phrasal verbs - Storybooks or short texts with phrasal verbs

Procedure:

1. Introduction (10 minutes):
   • Begin the lesson by asking students if they have heard of phrasal verbs before. Write their responses on the board.
   • Explain that phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs and prepositions or adverbs that have a different meaning from the individual words.
   • Give examples of common phrasal verbs, such as “turn off,” “pick up,” or “put on,” and ask students if they can guess their meanings.
2. Matching Activity (15 minutes):
   • Distribute flashcards with phrasal verbs to each student.
   • Ask students to find a partner and take turns matching the phrasal verb with its correct meaning.
   • After completing the activity, review the answers as a class, discussing the meanings and usage of each phrasal verb.
3. Sentence Completion (15 minutes):
   • Provide each student with a worksheet containing sentences with missing phrasal verbs.
   • Instruct students to fill in the blanks with the correct phrasal verb from the given word bank.
   • Allow students to work individually or in pairs.
   • Review the answers together, discussing the correct usage of each phrasal verb.
4. Story Reading (15 minutes):
   • Read a short story or text aloud to the class, ensuring it contains several phrasal verbs.
   • Pause after each phrasal verb and ask students to guess its meaning based on the context.
   • Discuss the meanings and usage of the phrasal verbs as a class.
5. Role-Play Activity (20 minutes):
   • Divide the class into pairs or small groups.
   • Provide each group with a scenario or situation where they can use phrasal verbs in a conversation.
   • Encourage students to incorporate as many phrasal verbs as possible while role-playing.
   • Monitor and provide feedback on their usage of phrasal verbs.
6. Wrap-up and Reflection (5 minutes):
   • Recap the main points discussed during the lesson.
   • Ask students to share one phrasal verb they learned and explain its meaning.
   • Encourage students to use phrasal verbs in their daily conversations and written work.

Extension Activities (optional): - Create a phrasal verb word wall where students can add new phrasal verbs they encounter. - Assign a writing task where students have to use a certain number of phrasal verbs in a story or paragraph. - Play a phrasal verb memory game where students match phrasal verbs with their meanings.

Assessment: - Observe students’ participation and engagement during class activities. - Review completed worksheets and assess the correct usage of phrasal verbs. - Evaluate students’ role-play performance, focusing on their ability to incorporate phrasal verbs naturally.
