This lesson plan outlines a 40-minute English class for 6th grade students focusing on introducing the verbs "can" and "can't". The plan has three activities: 1) Using images of superheroes to describe abilities with "can", 2) A listening comprehension exercise with situations using "can/can't" followed by acting out dialogues, and 3) Writing sentences using "can/can't" based on the dialogues. Materials include a blackboard, notebooks, projector, audio and computer. The goal is to expand students' vocabulary around abilities and provide opportunities for them to speak about their own abilities in English.

Class description:
The students in this elementary class are between 11 and 12 years old. They are 25 students in each
classroom (15 girls and 9 boys in 6to C – 16 girls and 10 boys in 6to D). The class starts at 15:45 in
the afternoon, until 16:25 in one of the classrooms. Once the class finish, and after a ten minutes
break, the second class starts at 16:35 until 17:15. Usually, students enter to the classroom very
excited and noisy since they come from the break. After that it takes more or less 10 minutes to
calm them down. Nevertheless, they work very hard and effectively when the activities are
presented. One important aspect about this class is that, as they are very young and with a low level
of English, they speak in Spanish all the time.

Warm up
Since we have already presented the verbs used to describe abilities, in this class we will explain the
grammatical structures of CAN in the affirmative, negative and interrogative form.
Activity 1
After the grammatical explanation of the auxiliary CAN, we will display with the projector images
of different superheroes in order to describe their abilities using the verbs previously introduced.
Superheroes´ Images
Activity 2
In order to use the workbook, the next activity will consist of a
listening comprehension exercise in which they will have to listen
two different situations and try to understand what the characters can / cannot do.
In addition to this, in order to foster speaking skill, we will ask for volunteers to act out the characters
in the situations presented.
