Week 4 tutorial: Joel & Vivien
Lesson Plan
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
Develop writing skills by using visuals as prompts.
Interpret stereotypes in visual texts and express them in written form.
Create their own short written texts supported by visuals.
Teacher:
Play a short TikTok clip on “Common Stereotypes Around the World.”
Highlight examples of stereotypes shown in the clip.
Write a model caption for one stereotype.
Example: Picture of a student with glasses → “People think students with glasses are nerds, but that is not always true.”
Teach students useful opinion phrases (e.g., “I don’t think so…”, “That’s not always true…”, “I disagree because…”).
Students:
Watch and observe the clip.
Read aloud key words and copy down the model sentence.
Answer guided questions:
“What stereotype do you see?”
“How can we write it in one or two sentences?”
Practice:
Teacher:
Show a comic strip with empty speech bubbles.
Guide students to use opinion phrases to fill in the dialogues.
Monitor pairs, providing help with vocabulary and structure.
Students:
Work in pairs to complete the comic strip with short dialogues or captions.
Example: “That’s not always true. Some nerds are actually outgoing.”
Share one completed panel by reading it aloud to the class.
Task: Creating a Visual + Written Message
Teacher:
Instruct groups to use Canva to design a mini-poster.
Remind them to combine an image (stereotype) with a short written message to challenge it.
Show students how to upload their work to Padlet.
Students:
In small groups, create a mini-poster in Canva.
Example: Picture of a gamer → “Not all gamers are lazy. Some are hardworking.”
Upload posters on Padlet.
Reflect together: “How do visuals help us write more clearly?”
