structures.
Personal Aims:
- We want to see how students react before the new teachers and how they respond to the
activities presented.
- Analyse how they behave with the different teaching styles in order to adapt the activities to
their needs.
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.

Procedures
Warm up:
Activity 1
Taking into account that students have already learned about Daily Routines, we are going to make
a general revision to refresh the vocabulary previously acquired. By showing them flashcards about
different daily activities we are going to ask them some questions such as: “What´s the time? What
time do you get up? What time does Anna get up?” and at the same time we are going to write the
correct answers next to the images so that they can copy them down in the notebooks.

Practice II
Later on, teachers will give students a short matching activity in which they have to match short
sentences related to activities carried out in the morning with the corresponding picture.
Activity 3: Start of project work
This activity will consist of dividing the class in pairs. After this, the teacher will assign a routine
for them in which they have to draw and colour it in a poster provided by the teacher so that they
can express themselves in a creative way. In order to complete the activity, they will have to write
which was the routine worked.
Activity 4: Oral Production
In this activity students will have to pass to the front and stick their productions on the blackboard.
Once they are all stuck, students are going to identify orally which is the chronological order of
each routine, and the teachers will assing each poster the corresponding number.
After this, each pair will recognize their production and meanwhile one of them read aloud the
description, the other will film his/her classmate with a camera provided by the school.
Homework: The students will have to number the activities in the order they do them every day.
The teachers will write on the blackboard the activities for them to copy in their notebooks and also
they will suggest an example for them as a guide.
E.g.: Every day I get up at 6:30
Extra activity:
In order to provide the students with more input, the teachers will give them an extra activity for
them to work with a reading comprehension task.
1) Activity: read the text and answer the questions:
