Pembelajaran Berdiferensiasi Bahasa Inggris Kelas 7 SMP Kurikulum Merdeka

Summary

The video demonstrates a Grade 7 English lesson on descriptive text, taught by Feni Afriati at SMP Negeri 2 Selagai Lingga. The lesson introduces how descriptive text gives information about a person or another subject, focusing on appearance and clothing.

Lesson Sequence and Activities

• Opening routines: The teacher greets the class, checks that students are ready, asks them to tidy their uniforms, leads a prayer, and takes attendance.
• Review of prior learning: Students recall learning how to introduce themselves in English. The teacher connects introductions to describing a person.
• Movement-based warm-up: Students stand and follow the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” naming body parts as they move.
• Video and guided questions: The class watches a video about someone searching for a missing child. The teacher asks what the video is about and why a description might be useful.
• Identifying descriptive details: Students mention features such as curly or short black hair, a white shirt, a pink jacket, brown or blue clothing, and a flat nose. The teacher explains that these details help describe the person.
• Defining descriptive text: Students contribute to a class definition: descriptive text describes a particular person or other subject and its characteristics.
• Group work and presentations: Students work in assigned groups, complete a written task, and present their results to the class. The teacher asks what the text is about and gives feedback.
• Review and reflection: The class revisits the meaning of descriptive text, with students identifying people as one example of something that can be described. In the closing exchange, student Iqbal says he learned about descriptive text, enjoyed the song, found a question about Raffi Ahmad challenging, and felt happy after the lesson.

Main Ideas and Teaching Approach

• Descriptions use observable characteristics—such as physical features and clothing—to help identify or portray a person.
• The lesson builds on familiar knowledge about self-introductions to introduce a new topic.
• The teacher uses varied formats, including questions, a video, a movement-and-song activity, group discussion, written work, and presentations.
• Students are encouraged to offer examples and explain their understanding, rather than only receive a definition from the teacher.
