* In the previous meeting, I asked children (in the closure stage) to draw and paint their toys showed during
the development of our meeting. So, I will send a text message to the Whatsapp’s group, asking parents to
upload the children’ drawings to the Padlet I created to work collaboratively. Last time, they had to upload
the photos of the toys they have found at home, now they have to share the drawings they did of their toys.
There, they will watch the drawings of my toys that I uploaded to the Padlet we share.
LINK OF THE PADLET: https://padlet.com/micaabuttiglieri/Bookmarks
- This is the text message I will send to parents:
“¡Hola familias! ¿Cómo están? Luego de pedirles a los estudiantes al final de nuestra clase que dibujen sus
juguetes y los pinten, les voy a pedir que les saquen fotos a sus dibujos y los suban al Padlet, así podremos
ver las producciones artísticas de cada niño/niña. Cuando ingresen al Padlet se van a encontrar con las
fotos de mis dibujos, las cuales subí luego de haber subido las fotos de mis juguetes previamente a nuestro
encuentro pasado. ¡Espero que les gusten mis dibujos, y espero con ansias ver todos los dibujitos que los
alumnos realizaron! (Recuerden tener a mano los dibujitos de cada alumno para compartirlos en nuestro
próximo encuentro. ¡Estamos en contacto! Saludos.
Teacher Mica”.
* Then, I will send to parents’ e-mails (as I have their e-mail addresses when I asked them previously to give
me their e-mail addresses in order to invite them to join the Padlet), a worksheet for students to work on
toys (which they can print at home or develop the activity in the students’ exercise book).

In this worksheet, students will have to pay attention to my toys shared in the Padlet, and identify which toy
is missing in exercise nº 1 (which has a box containing 5 of my 6 toys). Once they identify the missing toy,
they will have to draw it in the left side of the blank box given below the box with toys in exercise nº 1.
Students will also be asked to draw (in the right side of the blank box) a new toy which appears in the box of
toys from exercise nº 1 (which is not part of the toys I showed on our previous meeting and it is not present
in the drawings of my toys on Padlet). Students will be asked to paint both toys.
After that, in exercise nº 2 of the worksheet, students will be asked to draw and paint a classmate’s toy they
like from the ones they shared in Padlet. At last, they will be advised to have this activities prepared to work
in our next meeting.
- This is the worksheet I will send to parents’ e-mail addresses:
- This is the text message I will send to parents explaining the development of the activities provided in the
worksheet:
“¡Hola familias! ¿Cómo están? Quiero comentarles que les envié una hoja de trabajo que contiene dos
actividades sobre juguetes para que los alumnos desarrollen antes de nuestro próximo encuentro. En la
actividad nº 1 pueden visualizar un recuadro con 6 juguetes (Toys) dentro del mismo, y aquí los alumnos
tienen que identificar (luego de visualizar las fotos de mis juguetes que compartí en Padlet) ¿cuál es el
juguete que falta en el recuadro? de los 6 juguetes míos. Una vez que los alumnos identifiquen el juguete
mío que no se encuentra entre los juguetes del recuadro dado, lo van a dibujar sobre la izquierda del
recuadro en blanco que se encuentra debajo. A su vez, los alumnos van a identificar el nuevo juguete que

se encuentra en el recuadro con juguetes en el ejercicio nº1 y lo van a dibujar en el recuadro en blanco
dado (sobre el margen derecho). Luego, los alumnos van a pintar ambos dibujos.
Además, pueden visualizar el ejercicio nº 2 en el cual los alumnos tienen que dibujar y pintar el juguete de
algún compañero que hayan visto en las imágenes que todos subieron al Padlet y les haya gustado.
En nuestro próximo encuentro, espero ver estas actividades de los niños desarrolladas para que las
trabajemos juntos durante la clase. Ante cualquier duda que tengan sobre el desarrollo de estas 2
actividades dadas, no duden en consultarme.
¡Recuerden estar atentos al Padlet que compartimos, para poder desarrollar ambas actividades!
¡Nos vemos en la próxima clase!

PRESENTATION (8’)
Aim: To introduce the drawings of my toys.
To establish a relationship between colours (revision) and toys (new).
In the presentation stage I will be working with the drawings of my toys and flashcards of colours, which I will
be showing simultaneously while I show each of the drawings of toys I did. Each toy’s drawing will be showed

with the flashcards of the colour/s it is painted. First, I will introduce my drawings to students, and then I will
encourage students to show their drawing in order to work with theirs.
- Flashcards of colours:
Transition: Teacher: Now, pay attention! Look at this! (while I have the teddy bear drawing in one hand and
the flashcard of colour ‘brown’ in my other hand, as I point at the teddy bear).

Teacher: Great job! Oh, look at this drawing! (while I point at the next drawing and I pick up the flashcards
of colours ‘green’ and ‘yellow’)
Students: Wow! / A doll/ Doll (some students may say the toy’s name when they watch the drawing, as
they previously learnt the toys’ names).

Teacher: Yes! It is a green and yellow doll! Repeat!
Students: It’s a green and yellow doll! / green and yellow doll!
Teacher : Well done children! Let’s watch at my following drawing!
It’s a red car! (while I have the drawing of my car in one hand, and the flashcard of colour ‘red’ in
my other hand, pointing at the car). Come on, repeat!
Students: Excellent job students! (while I put down the flashcards and the drawing, put my thumbs
up, and then look for the next drawing)
I will do the same procedure with the other 3 (three) drawings of my toys and the belonging flashcards to
each drawing.
I prepared a video presentation of the drawings of my coloured toys on “Genial.ly”:
- Here is the link of the video presentation:
https://view.genial.ly/5f4524f4111bd10d79cfed94/video-presentation-toys-everywhere
As I showed in the video presentation in “Genial.ly”, after showing my toys’ drawings, I encourage
students to show theirs and to take into account the sentence structure I used in my examples : “It’s a +
(colour’s name) + (toy’s name), in order to describe their coloured toys’ drawings.
Transition: Teacher: ¡Chicos, es su turno ahora de mostrar esos dibujos que hicieron sobre sus juguetes!
Veamos juntos de qué colores son los diferentes dibujos que hicieron.
Show me one of your drawings Student 1 (I will say the name of the student). (While I show the
students one of my fingers and I pick up only one drawing, to let them understand that they have to choose
one of their drawings to describe. Anyway, they were asked to upload all their drawings to the Padlet, in
order to visualize all the drawings we did).
10. Taller Práctica Docente

Student 1: Una pelota. Orange!
Teacher: Oh great! A ball! / An orange ball! Repeat!
Student 1: An orange ball!
Teacher: Very good Student 1 (I say his/her name).
Ok, Student 2 (I will say his/her name) is your turn! Show me one of your drawings (while I point to
student 2 in order to follow the same procedure as I followed with student 1).
Student 2: It`s a green ball! / A green ball! (While the student shows one of his/her drawings).
Teacher: Wow! Other ball! Very good student 2 (I will say his/her name).
Come on student 3(I will say the student’s name)! Show me your drawing!
Student 3: It’s a purple kite. / Purple kite. (while he/she shows his/her drawing)
Teacher: Beautiful drawing student 3 (I will say his/her name)!
- I will follow the same procedure till the last student shows one of his/her drawings and describes it.
Once they finish, I will congratulate them for their works, and I will invite them to look for the worksheet I
previously sent to them and have it at hand in order to work with it.
DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION) (12’)
Aim: To allow students to identify toys.
To teach the structure: It’s a + colour’s name + toy name.
To practice on short dialogues: “What colour is + toy’s name ?”
It’s/ It is a + colour’s name + toy’s name.
Activity 1
I will ask students to look for the worksheet of toys’ activities I sent to them previously in order to develop
those 2 activities in an interactive way. Firstly, as I explained children’ parents, they had to identify the
missing toy in exercise 1 (which refers to the toy of the ones I have introduced in our previous meeting,
which I also uploaded to the Padlet I share with children). Once they identify the missing toy they had to
draw and paint it on the left side of the blank box given in the exercise. They also had to identify the new toy
given in exercise 1 (which refers to a new toy which I didn’t introduce in the previous class). When they
identify this toy, they had to draw and paint it on the right side of the blank box given in this exercise.
After that, in exercise 2, students had to choose one of their classmates’ drawings from the Padlet, in order
to draw and paint the toy chosen.
In this exercise, students will be developing Individual work in exercise 1, and Pair work in exercise 2 (as they
will be choosing one classmate’s work and they will show it in our lesson).

Transition: Teacher: Chicos! Les voy a pedir que tengan junto a ustedes la hojita de actividades sobre
juguetes que les envíe antes de nuestro encuentro.
Come on! Show me your worksheet of toys’ activities (while I hold a copy of this worksheet in my hand,
showing it to them).
Students: Yes! (While they hold the worksheet in their hands showing it to me).
Teacher: Great! Recuerden que tenían que ayudarme a encontrar a mi juguete perdido, que no se
encuentra entre los juguetes que aparecen en la hoja. Si no se acordaban, podían mirar en Padlet todos los
juguetes que subí. ¿Pueden ayudarme?
Help me! What is the missing toy? (while I point at the toys in the worksheet and I put a
worried face)
Students: It’s a car! (as they show their drawings of the car)
Teacher: Very good! Thank you! (while I put thumbs up and smile)
¡Esperen, hay un juguete nuevo! (while I put a surprising face and point at the toys in the box)
Look! What is the new toy?
Students: It’s a ball! / Una pelota (while they show their drawings of the ball)
Teacher: Yes! Well done! It’s a ball! (I congratulate them for identifying the new toy)
Wait a minute! Recuerden que luego tenían que mirar en Padlet los dibujos de los juguetes que los
compañeros compartieron ahí, y elegir uno para dibujarlo. Quiero mostrarles el juguete que elegí yo, que
varios de ustedes compartieron.
Watch! I drew a ball! It’s a green ball! (while I show them the toy I chose from Padlet to draw,
according to the toys they shared there).

I will encourage students to participate in a group activity, in which I will show them
different toys and I will ask them: “What colour is + toy’s name?”.
This is a group activity, as they will have to be on the ball to my questions.
Here, there is a video I recorded and shared in You Tube, showing the development of this activity.

CLOSURE (5’)
I will say to students that we have to finish our meeting, but before leaving I am going to
show them a worksheet with different pictures which I will send them to work at home
identifying the pictures with toys to elaborate a poster. I will explain them, the way they
will have to develop this creative activity. They will be asked to do this activity before
our next meeting. This is the worksheet I will be sending to parents’ e-mail addresses:

Teacher: Chicos, es hora de despedirnos. It’s time to say goodbye!
Pero antes, quiero que vean esta hoja que les muestro aquí, donde pueden ver muchos
recuadros con diferentes objetos. Ustedes van a tener que identificar todos los recuadros donde vean “toys”
(juguetes). Los van a recortar y los van a pegar sobre una lámina.
Look! There are a lot of objects! (while I point at all of the objects in the sheet of paper). But, look up the
toys! (while I mimic a sign of caution and then I point at a toy in the picture as giving an example).
You can paint toys! (While I make a movement with my hand as if I were painting).
Okay? (While I put my thumbs up)
Students: Okay! / Yes!/ Thumbs up.
Teacher: Good! It’s time to say good-bye! (while I wave my hand)
Let’s listen and sing this good-bye song together! (while I point at my ear,
