Teaching Approach: The lesson is based on the Communicative approach
organized through the PPP procedure
Materials and resources: video, song, pictures, posters, glue, pencils
Pedagogical use of ICT in class: For this lesson I will use the TV to watch and
listen to the song.
Seating arrangement: Students will be seated at their tables in groups of four
or five
Cooperative work: Cooperative work is a challenge aim at this stage because
children of this age are not used to listen to and accept others opinions, it is an
everyday work.
Possible problems/ difficulties and their possible solutions during the
class: The family issue can be a bit controversial if we do not work with it
with an open mind. The nowadays families are very different from the book
family therefore I believe it is important to be sensitive with this issue and
teach students that their kind of family is a “normal” family, no matter if their
parents are divorced or if they live with their grandparents or whatever their
family situation might be, they are still a family.
Potential problems students may have with the language: They might not
understand the vocabulary or the relationship between the family ‘members
therefore I will try to explain these relationships with examples and pictures.
