Warm-up– 5’
Purpose:to introduce the topic and the teaching points
We will startbyrevisingthe vocabularythat we saw the previouslessons,inparticular,the
vocabularyrelatedtofruits.
T: “Do youlike fruit?”
EA: “Yes” “Yes,I do”
T: “Great” “What fruitsdoyou like?”
EA: “Apples,bananas,cherries,strawberries,etc.”
Transition:
T: “Verygood.Now, wouldyoulike towatcha story?”
EA: “Yes”,“Sí”
Presentation– 15’:
Purpose:to furtherexpose the learnersto the target language about food.
We will proceedtowatchthe video. The storygoeslike this:
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and –pop!- out of the egg came a tiny and
very hungry caterpillar. He started to look for some food.
On Monday he ate through one apple, but he was still hungry.
On Tuesday he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry.
On Wednesday he ate through three plums, but he was still hungry.
On Thursday he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry.
4. On Friday he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry.
On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one
pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry
pie, one sausage, one cupcake and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a
stomachache!
The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf and
after that he felt much better.
Now he wasn’t hungry any more –and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more. He was a
big fat caterpillar.
He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than
two weeks. Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and…
He was a beautiful butterfly!
Transition:
T: “OK children. Nowwe’lldosome activities”
Development– 15’
Activity 1:
I will displayflashcards andlabels withthe new items (asIdidinpreviouslessons),sothe
studentscansee the writtenformof the words.Theyalreadyknow some vocabulary,e.g.the
daysof the week,the numbersandthe namesof some fruit. Ithinkthat we shouldpractise the
pronunciationof the items,since theywill needthatforthe speakingpractice.
T (afterstickingthe imagesonthe BB): “Now,Iwant youto say the namesof the foodthat the
caterpillarate through”“Are youready?”
EA: “Yes teacher”
T (pointingatthe apples):“Whatare these?”
EA: “Apples”“Theyare apples”
T: “Verygood!” “Andthese?”(pointingatthe oranges)
EA: “Theyare oranges”
I will continue inthe same fashionwiththe otherfruits.Then,Iwill helpthemwiththe other
items.
T: “What isthis?”(pointingata sausage)
5. EA: “No s锓Una salchicha”“Sausage”(some studentsaskedme aboutthatina previous
lesson)
T: “Verywell,it’sasausage”“Please,repeat”“It’sasausage”or “This isa sausage”
EA: “It’sa sausage”
T: “What’s this?”(pointingata piece of chocolate cake)
EA: “Chocolate cake”“It’schocolate cake”
NB.I thoughtabout doingthe same activitythatwe didthe firstclass,i.e.matchingthe names
and the drawings,butI am notsure because itwouldbe veryrepetitive.Besides,we wouldnot
have time forthe nextactivity.Icoulduse some flashcardswiththe namesinstead.
T: “OK, nowI’dlike youto orderthe foodthat the caterpillarate through” “Youwill workin
groupsof three”(NowIwill give eachgroupa setof cutoutsshowingthe differentelements
and theywouldhave toorderthem) “I’ll give yousome picturesandyouhave toorder them
accordingto the story”“For example,doyourememberwhathappenedfirst?” (There wasan
eggon a leaf)
EA: “Había unahoja y unhuevito”
T: “Verygood.There was an eggon a leaf”“Andwhat didthe caterpillareatonMonday?” or
“On Monday he ate through…”
EA: “An apple”
T: “Great. Nowyou have to orderthe restof the pictures”“Do youunderstand?”
EA: “Yes,yes”“No”
NB.Here I will helpthe studentsthatdonot understand.However,the more advancedpupils
will helpinthatprocess,since theylike helpingeachother.
Activity 2:
Then,theywouldhave totell the story(or at leastsome sentences) intheirownwords. This
activityismeantto developtheirspeakingskills.
T: “OK. I can see that youare doingverywell”“Canyoutell me the story?”“Let’s sayone
sentence”“Maru,wouldyoulike tostart?” “What can you see inthe firstpicture?”
EA: “An eggon a leaf”
T: “Verygood!” “Juani,whatdidthe caterpillareatonMonday?”
EA: “He ate (through) one apple”
T: “Excellent!”“Benja,whatdidthe caterpillareat(through) onTuesday?”
6. EA: “He ate (through) twopears”
(We will continue like thistillwe finishwith all the items)
NB: If I considerthattime will notbe enoughtofinishthislastactivitywe cando itthe
followinglesson.
Transition:
T: “Verygood children!Youwere wonderful!”“Now,it’stime tosaygoodbye”
