PROCEDURES

2. 1) Warm-up activities:
a) We will present the structure for questions with can/can’t using the
information in the chart we worked with in previous classes. This will
be done with examples such as “Can snakes fly? No, they can’t”
“Can jaguars run? Yes, they can”. Students will have to copy these
examples in their folders. After we have introduced the structure,
students will have to ask the teacher questions to guess which
animal she is thinking of. (10’)
2) Main Activity:
a) We will present students new items of vocabulary: parts of the body of
the animals. This will be done with three big cardboards with three
different animals that allow us to introduce the necessary vocabulary
to use later on with animals descriptions. Students will also have the
three animals’ images in one photocopy so they can follow the
explanation and copy the vocabulary. We will put in each part of the
animal body a tag with its name. (15’)
b) We watch a clip from the Lion King film asking students to focus on
particular animals because then they will have to describe them.

c) After we introduced the vocabulary and watched the video, we show
students how to write a brief description using have got /haven’t got.
For this we will write some sentences on the board, and also give
them a short piece of text as an example. Then, they will have to
choose one of the characters they saw in the clip and write sentences
about it.
Animals in the video: Lions, elephants, flamingos, ostriches, rhinos, zebras,
giraffes, hippo, monkey, crocodile, anteaters.
