English Logistics Lesson 1 Lesson Plan
Lesson Plan:
1. Introduction (5 minutes)
Begin the lesson by engaging students in a brief discussion about international
trade. Ask questions such as:
What do you understand by the term "global trade"?
Why is international trade important for economies?
Explain that logistics plays a crucial role in facilitating global trade and ensuring
the smooth flow of goods across borders.
2. Overview of Logistics (10 minutes)
Provide students with a clear definition of logistics:
Logistics refers to the management of the flow of goods, information, and
resources from the point of origin to the point of consumption.
Discuss the importance of logistics in global trade, highlighting key points such
as:
Logistics ensures timely delivery of goods to customers.
It helps optimize supply chain efficiency, reducing costs and increasing
profitability.
Effective logistics minimizes risks and disruptions in the transportation
process.
Encourage students to think of real-world examples where logistics played a
crucial role in global trade.
3. Key Logistics Terms and Vocabulary (30 minutes)
Divide students into small groups.
Assign each group one of the three websites provided:
Group 1: https://www.ctsfreight.com/en/service/index-id_14.html
Group 2: https://www.kerrylogistics.com/
Group 3: http://www.sinotrans.com/col/col2394/index.html
Instruct the groups to explore their assigned website and identify key logistics
terms and vocabulary related to international transportation.
Each group should compile a list of terms and their definitions, along with
examples of how they are used in the context of international transportation.
After 20 minutes, ask each group to present their findings to the class. Encourage
discussions and clarifications as necessary.
Alternatively, you can provide handouts with pre-selected key terms and
definitions for students to study and discuss as a class.
4. Application and Reflection (15 minutes)
Engage students in a short activity to apply their understanding of the key
logistics terms. For example:
Provide a scenario involving international transportation challenges and
ask students to identify which logistics concepts or strategies could
address the situation.
Conclude the lesson with a brief discussion where students reflect on what they
have learned about logistics and its significance in global trade.
5. Wrap-up (5 minutes)
Summarize the main points covered in the lesson, emphasizing the importance of
logistics in global trade and the key terms and vocabulary related to international
transportation.
Encourage students to continue exploring and researching logistics to deepen
their understanding of the topic.
