Teaching Approach: Communicative approach
Integration of Skills: in this lesson plan, students’ listening and speaking skills are integrated
through students’ interaction with the teacher and among them. Also, a video about movies
and a short scene about a movie (Ratatouille) will be used to expose students’ to the L2 and
to develop listening and speaking skills through suitable tasks. As regards reading and writing
skills, students have to read some short activity related with the video and they have to
complete taking the scene into account. At the same time different sub – skills are developed
through the activities, such as relate, complete, associate, and put in order, make, in which
students are actively involved. Moreover, students will develop their critical thinking.

Pedagogical Use of ICT in class: In this lesson, a video will be used to support the
presentation and exposure of the students to the teaching point. Activities organised through
the combination of audio and video (audio-visual material) enhances language learning and
acquisition.
Materials: Photocopies for each student with exercises, board, projector, and flashcards
related with the topic. Also a computer, audio player will be necessary to watch the video.
Activity book (Heading Forward – Pre Intermediate – Richmond) page 64.
Seating arrangement: the students will be sitting as usual to work with their partner. I will
check that all the students could watch the video to complete the activity and be comfortable
to work in pairs.
Cooperative work: learners will work with their partners to discuss the video, exchange ideas
and retrieve previous knowledge. A socio – constructivist perspective is based on the premise
that human beings learn through building their knowledge and experiencing while
communicating and cooperating with others.
Possible problems / difficulties and possible solutions: the activities may take longer than
expected. That is why it is necessary to check the time spent during each activity so as not to
run out of time for the production stage.
Students will surely use their mother tongue to refer to some unknown vocabulary. In this
case, I will provide them with the equivalent in English.
Potential problems students may have with the language: if students do not remember new
items, I will use different techniques to help them such as repeating, giving them the first part
of the sentences so they can complete it and giving students a positive feedback to encourage
them to participate. Also I will pause the video to students could complete the task.
The activities proposed will also help them consolidate concepts as well as help them correct
some mispronunciation difficulties as regards the movies’ name or genres. I will explain as
many times as they need the new topic (passive voice).
Assessment: what will be assessed and how: pronunciation, identification of new items and
understanding of questions will be assessed by asking questions individually for example; can
you tell me an example? What did you watch? What did you like?...etc and observing
students’ development during different instances of the class. Echoing will be a method for
checking listening comprehension. Through this technique I will avoid giving students the
correct answer and I will encourage them to correct themselves.
Routine (5’)
Hello everybody! How are you today?
Students will answer.
Transition: ok, today we are going to work a lot! So are you ready to start? Ss will answer.

The teacher will divide the class in small groups, they won’t have to change their position, just turn
around to work and discuss with their partner. So here, the teacher will say the number of the groups
and she will write on the board. Then, she will give to students different parts of sentences to work
(related with the topic from the last class), here the teacher will explain to students, they will have to
put them in order and create different sentences about Present Perfect and Simple Past. When they
finish, they will have to pass one boy/girl from the group to copy on the board, if it is ok, the group
will have a point.
Transition: well done! You are very good students! But now….we have to go on working! But this time
we are going to talk a little about your likes. Here the teacher will stick a picture:
And she will ask to students “what do you think about this pictures?”
Presentation (20’)
So here they will speak about this and together they will make as a brainstorm with all the things that
they could associate with the cinema, for instance: movie, people, sound, chairs, lights… the teacher
will write them on the board.
Then, the teacher will ask about the movies that their they like or have watched recently, Valentina
did you watch a movie? Which one? Do you like going to the cinema? And in of the same way, the
teacher will ask to some other students to discuss about the movies answering questions such as: what
did you watch? When? What do you like? Etc.. Then the teacher will stick some papers on the board
with the genres:
Comentado [A1]: About?? Will you give them any hint?
Which sentences will they have to make?
Comentado [A2]: Will you write their answers on the board?
Comentado [A3]: How?

Transition: ‘Right! Let’s keep working! Pay close attention now, because we will learn a new topic’
Procedure (20’)
The teacher will write on the board the next information:
DANIEL RADCLIFFE PLAYS IN HARRY POTTER’S MOVIE. The teacher will to ask students
if they know him? What is his profession? Do you see in another movie?
HARRY POTTER’S MOVIE IS PLAYED BY DANIEL RADCLIFFE
Here the teacher will ask to students if you they can read any difference, they will realize that the
sentences have a difference so here she will explain that this is Passive voice, where the most
important is the object, to explain that, the teacher will ask to students that to pay attention to the first
sentence:
DANIEL RADCLIFFE PLAYS IN HARRY POTTER’S MOVIE. – ACTIVE VOICE
SUBJECT VERB OBJECT
And she will ask who the person is? . The sts will say: Daniel so she will write Subject. Then she will
ask about the action (verb), the sts will say: plays so she will mark. And finally she will ask about the
object, probably they won’t realize that is movie, so in that case the teacher will encourage sts asking
questions such as: is it Harry Potter….is it Movie? And when they answer, the teacher will mark too.
Then, she will do the same with the other sentence:
Comentado [A4]: Ask them if they know who he is, what his
profession is, etc.
7. TPD – Gieser Leticia – Secondary level

IT IS PLAYED BY DANIEL RADCLIFFE. – PASSIVE VOICE
OBJECT VERB SUBJECT
Again, she will ask about the person and she will mark, where is the verb? And she will mark will do
the same with the object. Here, they will realize that firstly, they have the object, so she will say:’ in the
second sentence, it is most important the object, however, in the first one not. In Passive voice the
object is affected; and so we will have to use BY to refer by who is affected. (Here she will use mime
to explain it). But here, the teacher will say that pay attention to it….’what does it refer?’ she will
encourage to say what they think: is it about Daniel? Is it about the movie….? When they will realize
she also explain that here it is necessary use personal pronouns, so she will write on the board with
the students’ help:
- I ME
- SHE HER
- HE HIM
- WE US
- THEY THEM
Transition: ‘Ok…did you understand?’ (In case they have doubts, I will explain it again). ‘Now to
understand better this topic I will play a video that are different examples using passive and active
voice. Pay attention…’ (it is a song)
https://youtu.be/ARaEpSAD-ng
Comentado [A5]: I`m afraid that it is quite a lot of information
for only one lesson. You are also introducing/recycling objective
pronouns. Do they need them right now?
More often than not, we teachers introduce the Passive Voice and
then we introduce the use of the agent.
