Lesson for elementary level
Hi, I need some help. I am working on a lesson for elementary level teenagers. This is the first time I am teaching this level of students and I'm not sure if the lesson I have planned is too advanced. I have no prior experience to judge and I'm wondering if someone can help me. Is it okay for me to post this lesson plan? Here is my lesson plan:
Step1: Write the word family on the board. Draw a word web around it. Engage in discussion with the students about their families. How many people do they have in their family? Do they have any relatives not living with them? Elicit words from their discussion and write it in the web, along with the new vocabulary.
Step 2: Pass out the photocopied word web sheets and have the students work to fill in the spaces with members of their family.
Step 3: Have each student come up and write one or more of the words on the board from their individual word webs.
Step 4: Using the web, introduce the target language using the question and answer forms(E.g, Have you got any brothers? Yes, I have. I’ve got two) and write the example on the board.
Step 5: Pair work-- oral practice using their family word webs the two students can interview each other by asking and answering questions about each other's families with the target language.
Step 6: Pair work-- have the students write up a dialogue of the conversation they just had.
Step 7: Play an audio of two people talking about each other's families. Play the audio once for the students to hear.
Step 8: Play it a second time and draw a family tree on the board. Ask the students questions like ''How many brothers has Susan got? Has Mike got any cousins?'' Write the questions on the board.
Step 9: Play the audio again and have the students answer the questions.
Step 10: Play the audio again and have the students fill out the family tree.
Step 11: Give out the transcript and have the students complete a gap-filling activity focused on the target language has got/have got based on the audio's dialogue.

Offhand, I'd say that that is good. 'Elementary' or 'advanced' shouldn't really apply to your methodology, but to the complexity of the language in steps 1, 4 and 7, for instance. Otherwise, your steps are pretty standard for any level.

- If you are unsure of its difficulty, just have ready to hand an alternative tape, for example, so that you have audios of 2 different levels to choose from during the class.

The activity described for teaching English sounds excellent. The only thing I would perhaps modify is the grammar of the structure. "Do you have any brothers?" vs. "Have you got any brothers?" which is more regional.
