Teacher introduces the students to the topic of the lesson by writing the word “EXPOSITION” in the centre of the white board. To gain the students prior learning on expositions, the teachers asks the students to put up their hand and explain what an exposition is, its purpose, where we read them or anything they know about an exposition. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher then gets the students to look up the word “exposition” in their dictionary and chooses a few students to read aloud their definition. Teacher will write a few of the different definitions on the board. Teacher then asks the students to think about which words in the definitions help us to understand what an “exposition” is and chooses a few students to come up to the board to circle those words. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher then gets the students to come up with a definition in their own words of what an exposition is and writes a few of the examples up on the board.

Teacher then puts the exposition proforma on the “writing fun” website up on the board. In this final activity, the teacher consolidates the students learning by writing in point form an explosion onto the website as a class, that will help them in the next lesson when they must write a full exposition in groups. The focus of this whole class exposition is on the importance of sun safety and teacher gets students to put up their hand and present ideas as they work through the proforma. The class must state their position/argument, the points they would discuss if writing in full, and how they would summarise the exposition. Students will be invited up to type their points themselves. Include at least 4 points on the proforma. Teacher should encourage the students to use the persuasive language that they saw in the examples when adding their points into the proforma. Once the proforma on the website is complete teacher should consolidate their learning throughout the lesson by asking students to put up their hand and add any new things they learned about an exposition to the brainstorm on the white board that they did in the introduction activity. || <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Did students contribute to the class discussion/ brainstorm throughout the lesson? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Were students able to understand that an exposition fights for or against something? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Did students work in their groups without any major disagreements, hassles or arguments and were able to complete the designated activity? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Did the students show an understanding of the purpose of persuasive language and the structure of an explanation through their input into the concluding activity and in their group work? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Did the students draw upon their knowledge of sun safety from prior lessons in the concluding activity? || <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -18pt;"> · // <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Whole class and group work: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> As this is the first lesson in the unit on writing an exposition, no individual work was included.
