2. · Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: In this lesson, a video will be used to
introduce the topic and exposure of the students to the teaching point. Activities
organised through the video will enhance language learning and acquisition. I will book
the overhead projetor and speakers for that day and i’ll bring my personal laptop.
· Seating arrangement: at the beginning of the class the students sit individually at their
desks looking at the whiteboard. During the following task they will sit in pairs or small
groups.
· Assessment: I’ll check that students compehention through questions, their answers to
the activities and their written and oral productions
Routine: 5’
Purpose: to start the lesson, get students into the mood for work, establish rapport.
I’ll lead the students from the hall to the classroom, as they have a break before the English
class. I’ll have them sit at their desks and once they’re all seated I’ll say: Hello! How are you?
EA: Varied. Sometimes students tell about something important they did the previous day . It’s a
great opportunity for real communication in the target language.
Warm up: Timing 10’
Purpose: To have students activate previous knowledge, to talk about their personal
experience
I’ll say: Last month, we were on the winter holidays. What did you do? Did you travel
anywhere? What activities did you do?
Now, we are going to watch a video about two friends talking about their holidays.

Deelopment
Activity 2: Timing 15’
I’ll ask the students to draw their own spider web called “My favourite holidays”. Then,
they’ll get in pairs - and a group of three – to tell their classmates about them. I’ll remind
them they can use the list of past forms on the classroom wall if necessary or use the
dictionary Wordreference on their mobile phones.
Activity 3 Timing 10’
Purpose: To read and notice the target grammar form
I will and the students a printout with a short article called “Holidays fun facts”. First I’ll
focus their attention to the pictures that illustrate the article and ask what they can see.
Then, I’ll ask them to read the sentences and complete the blanks with words from the
word bank. We will listen to the audio track to check and then, I’ll ask for volunteers to
read each fun fact. They particularly like reading and roleplaying. I’ll ask questions to
check comrpehension. What did people lose in 2011? Where they at home? Where they
working? Why is it important to wear sunscreen? Where si the woman from the photo?
What did she do?
(Note: Students sometimes use their book – Big English 4. But other units from the year
planning are taken from Big English 5, as in this case. I run copies of some activities.)
