• Teaching Approach: The lesson is based on the Natural Approach, and organized trough the
PPP procedure (Harmer, 2010).
• Materials and Resources: pictures about the different shapes made on cardboard with
different colours. A Domino game about shapes. Video (shapes song) –
• Pedagogical use of ICT in class: in this lesson, the students will remember the shapes through
an icebreaker ‘Sho shokka’. Activities organised through the use of audio-visual materials
enhances language learning and acquisition.
• Seating arrangement: students will be sitting in a circle on the floor in order to facilitate visual
contact and interaction within the group. At some points in the lesson, they’ll move around
the class.
• Possible problems /difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: children may
want to play more with the icebreaker, but the teacher will say that they will have to play again
later.
• Potential problems students may have with the language: students may find it hard to produce
the shape’s size ‘it’s big…’, however, the teacher will try to encourage them. If they can’t do it
or don’t understand, they may use: big…small…
• Assessment: what will be assessed and how: the teacher will check students’ comprehension
by miming, doing gestures and watching if they perform the actions or not. Encourage them
to produce the new vocabulary. If they get shy, the teacher will check they can recognize the
items by using pictures about the topic.
Routine: 5’
The teacher will get into the classroom and greet the students with a froggy puppet: ‘Hello!, how are
you today?’ EA: Hello!

Hello. Hello. Hello. How are you?

Warm Up – 5’
The teacher will stand all the children in the middle of the class, and in every corner of the class she
will stick a shape. So, here everyone will kneel down and the teacher standing in front of the class, will
draw a shape in the air. The teacher then yells ‘sho shookka’ and the kids will run to the shape that
the teacher will drawhave drawn before.
Transition: ‘great job kids!’ ‘Now, sit down in a circle and pay attention to the board’ ‘What can you
see?’ (on the board will have big and small shapes and an oval)
Presentation 5’
The teacher will ask to students that pay close attention to the board. They will realize the different
shapes so when it happens, the teacher will say to students pointing every picture it’s big, it’s
small…and she will encourage to students to participate and say if it’s big or small.
Here she will emphasise the /ɔ:/ sound in small. Then, she will mime with her arms the size saying:
‘small….big…’ and the students will repeat together with her. She will use some classroom objects to
say if they are big or small, while the teacher is pointing the object, she will ask to students: ’is it
big…or small?’

Nice lesson, Leti! I just made some comments about the Domino game.
Comentado [A2]: Will they play as a whole group? I think it
would be a good idea to do so, so that you could help them, and
repeat the names of the shapes and their colours.
