This lesson plan aims to teach 6th grade students how to tell time in English. It uses a PPP approach with 3 stages - warm up, presentation, and development. In the warm up, students will review numbers and be introduced to clock vocabulary by identifying times pointed out on a large classroom clock. During the presentation, students will learn the vocabulary for telling time and practice forming time sentences. For development, students will complete worksheets identifying times on clocks and play a board game in groups to practice telling time. The closure activity has students draw hands on clocks to show times.

Aims or goals:

Develop their writing skills by completing different activities.
2. Teaching points: - language focus:
Teaching approach: This lesson plan is based on the PPP approach.
Materials and resources: One big clock. A copy of Activity 1 for each of
them. A copy for group of Activity 2, and a copy for each of them of Closure
stage.
Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson, one big clock will be used
to support the presentation and exposure of the students to the teaching point.
Activities organised through visual material enhance language learning and
acquisition.
Seating arrangement: Students will be sitting on their desks since I
believe it´s the best way to see and participate of the class. Also, they will have
visual contact and interaction.
Cooperative work: learners of this age can interact and work together in
order to perform activities.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during
the class: Children may get too excited during the class because they are very
participative students and sometimes they overflow. In that case, I’ll remind
them we should be careful with the resources used and be able to perform all
the activities. In order to get them quiet: I´ll say Silence, please!
Potential problems students may have with the language: They may
not understand the question: What time is it? I’ll guide them by pointing the
different time on the clock and modeling the answer first.

Purpose: to students identify and practice the topic vocabulary.
Listen kids, you will work in groups of three or four.
Now that you are ready, you have a game of clock, a dice, four / three chips of different
colors and a spreadsheet. The slogan is as follows: one of you is going to throw the dice,
grab a chip and place iton the board on the number that touched to you, and then you
should write down on the sheet the time that is presented in the board. After that, it will
be the turn of a partner, who will do the same, n the first to complete the board will win.
Do you understand?

activity.
