An introduction lesson for a class which will be learning about electricity and basic installations Back to Overview

Wiring a plug includes several basic features for a future electrician like selecting fuse sizes and ensure proper connections. Back to Overview

The students will be giving instructions and will also act on instructions from their peers Key Content Words from the technical vocabulary includes tools (wire strippers and cutters etc) the language structure will be the imperative. The learning will be supported by two online units for learners at level A1 and level A2: and The students will learn how to use the imperative. The scaffolding used will mainly be based on work sheets with pictures of tools and an online CALL unit where they can click on all words and look them up in dictionaries.scaffolding Some more Scaffolding Techniques to help studentsScaffolding Techniques Back to Overview

The Learners will use and acquire several Cognitive Skills they will:Cognitive Skills Understand the basics of wiring a plug Apply their knowledge and instruct another student how to wire a plug Evaluate which fuse size is suitable for different types of appliances. Remember key vocabulary and use it in different ways as part of instructions. Through the activities use both HOTS & LOTS – Higher Order Thinking Skills & Lower Order Thinking Skills, See Bloom’s Wheel, i.e. from understanding through applying to evaluation of the quality of the wiring in a plug.HOTS & LOTS Bloom’s Wheel Back to Overview
