• Teaching approach: The lesson is based on the Communicative Approach, and organized
through the PPP procedure.
• Materials and resources: a pinafore , a CD player and a CD or pendrive with two songs
(Hello song and Goodbye song) a bag with a monster pet or puppets, crayons , white
papers with the shape of a monster pet for each student.
3. • Pedagogical use of ICT in class: as this is my first class with them and it only lasts thirty
minutes, I decided not to use any technological device until the second lesson.
• Seating arrangement: students will be sitting on the floor , in circle (this is they are used to
work)
• Cooperative work: learners of this age are in the parallel play stage, which means they can
play together, but still find it difficult to carry out cooperative or group work activities
• Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: children may
find it difficult to understand what they are expected to do so I will mimevocabulary and
model the activities as much as possible.
• Potential problems students may have with the language: They may be able to find the
different parts of the body when I produce them but , perhaps, they won’t be able to
produce the English words by themselves, so, I will provide them with the necessary time
and help in order to have each of them produce the target vocabulary (chest, head, neck,
arm, stomach, knee, feet, etc)
• Assessment: I’ll provide students with the necessary input, and I’ll encourage them to
produce the chunks of language I’m teaching
Input -Presentation (8´)-
I will enter the classroom wearing Miss Ceci´s pinafore again and I willsay :“Hello! Today I am the
teacher and Miss Ceci watches the class again (miming the meaning of “watching”).
I will incorporate part of Ceci´s routine by playing the Hello song in the CD player, encouraging the
kids to follow the song. Then, I will take Sam (the puppet I had left there) and I will say “Sam! How
are you? ! …give me your hand (I will manipulate him pretending he is doing it) then I will ask him
to cross his legs, nod, wave his hands, etc (always manipulating him ) . Then I will ask some kids at
random to cross their legs, nod, wave their hands, etc by singinga song (similar to the one we sang
during our previous class, for example “Dear Mili, dear Mili, cross your legs, cross your legs)
Guided Practice (8´)
Then I will show them the same bag I had taken with me the previous lesson and I will say “I have
something for you here”, and very slowly I will open my bag and show them my “crazy pet”. And I
will say “this is my monster pet” (miming my affection). “This is Gina, she is my monster pet”

Comentario [A8]: How will you choose them?
You may choose the one who crosses his/her legs
first, for example, so as to recycle vocabulary.
Comentario [A9]: If you do the activity they will
just copy you. You may use gestures to guide them.
Comentario [A10]: All of them should work on
the same kind of paper and in the same conditions
Thus, you should have just one big piece of
cardboard on the board and you should ask
volunteers to draw the different parts in turns. You
may choose a name for that monster pet and stick it
somewhere in the classroom.

Closure (2’)
I will say “wow, your monster pets are great! (miming, thumbs up). Let´s put them all together
inside the box (showing them a box and doing the same with my own drawing) we will use them
again next time.
“Now , you will go outside to play. Let´s sing the goodbye song together!”
We will all sing “this is the way we say goodbye, this is the way we say goodbye, see you on
Thursday” (this song is part of their routine with Miss Ceci)

Dear Gabriela,
The lesson is varied and cohesive. Have second thoughts as regards the “written” activity – it is
important that they have the same opportunities.
Pay attention to the comments. You may try including ICT in further lessons.
As we stated in the feedback for lesson plan 1, it is important you complete the information at
the beginning of the lesson plan. This is what you are supposed to include:

This items have been introduced last class but , as young learners need time to incorporate new language
items I´ll treat them as “new” itemsagain during this lesson.

This activity is similar to the last activity I included in my plan for lesson 1. After reading your suggestions I
decided that it was better to ask the kids to color the shape of a boy/girl (similar to the puppet) in lesson 1
and I used to idea of the monster in lesson 2.
