The document provides a lesson plan for a 40-minute English class for 6th grade students at a primary school in Argentina. The lesson aims to have students continue talking about personal information and ask and answer wh-questions. Students will be put into groups to interview each other about name, age, address, favorite film/TV, food, reading, and hobby. They will then write about the personal information of their partner. The teacher aims to work on voice quality and bonding with students. Materials include ID cards and a whiteboard. Anticipated problems include uneven group numbers and noise, and solutions involve the teacher partner participating and speaking louder.

Class description:
There are twenty-five students in this group between 10 and 11 years-old. They have
English classes twice a week, for fifty minutes on Wednesdays and 35 minutes on Fridays.
They have started studying English in 5th
year. They come to classes after the break both
times, usually with lots of energy but when they are assigned tasks they calm down and
work effectively.
Main aim:
By the end of the lesson the students will be able to continue talking about their personal
information and ask and answer wh-questions.
Subsidiary aim:
1. To revise the verb “to be” as well as the verbs in the present simple form.
2. To revise some vocabulary.
3. To interact one another.

I will do my best to work on my voice quality in order to make myself audible and
meaningful. I also expect to create a bond with the students.
Timetable fit:
In the last lesson, the students have started the new unit accompanied with some
grammatical structures (the verb “to be” along with some verbs in the present simple
form).
Materials:
1. Board and board markers and chalk.
2. ID cards made of construction paper of different colours.
Anticipated problems:
1. If some students do not come to the lesson, there will be an odd number for the
“wheel”.
2. A noisy environment which may make this difficult for us to be listened to.
3. Students not using the English structures to ask their partners questions, when
doing the interview and completing the chart.
Possible solutions:
1. My partner will take part in the “wheel” if necessary.
2. I will do my best to speak louder and clearer.
3. My partner and me will be on the alert and encourage them to speak in English.
