Biodata
Dzeelfa Zainal Abidin teaches in SMK Jalan Bukit, Kajang. Her teaching career began four years ago, upon graduating from UPM with a B.Ed. TESL degree. She is currently pursuing her MA in English Literature and hopes to graduate soon.

Introduction
These lesson plans are designed for a week’s worth of lessons. This is equivalent to five periods. The first lesson plan is for a single period while the other two should be useful for a double period respectively.
The lesson plans are based on a chapter from the newly revised form one textbook, written by Nesamalar Chitravellu and friends. I’ve chosen to work on Chapter Three which carries ‘Health’ as its theme and is aptly titled ‘Live Smart’. There is a variety of activities using health issues which cover the language skills and the three language domains introduced in the new syllabus. I’ve picked parts of the chapter which I feel could be useful to students, encouraging group-work discussions which promotes creative and critical thinking.
I’ve used activities from the chapter and added more related activities to give students more practice. Authentic materials like food items with labels and menu cards from restaurants are used to aid the lesson. The use of courseware provided by the ministry can be found in Lesson Plan Three. I’ve used some of the suggested activities from the courseware, with a bit of changes where necessary.
What I have included in the lesson plans are merely suggestions. Teachers may use or discard (if they are interested at all) parts of the lesson plans as they see fit. The lesson plans follow the content of the textbook and the courseware closely. This should help teachers make their planning for lessons easier.
