This document outlines a lesson plan for a 40-minute English class for 6th year students focusing on personal appearance, media, and conditional clauses. The plan includes a warm-up reviewing a previous test, an individual activity having students correct their own mistakes on the test, and a paired speaking activity where students discuss opinions on children's use of social media using target language structures and expressions.

 Teaching approach: The lesson is based on the Communicative Approach, and organized
through the PPP procedure (Harmer,2010).
 Integration of skills: students will work on their listening, reading, speaking and writing
skills, as well as on critical thinking (evaluating ideas)
 Materials and resources: whiteboard and markers, photocopiable resource from Focus 4
Teacher’s book by Pearson.
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: -
 Seating arrangement: students will be sitting individually and in pairs
 Assessment: I’ll check students’ comprehension through questions, their answers to the
activities and their oral production

2. Routine: Timing 3’
Purpose: to start the lesson, get students in the mood for work, establish rapport.
Grouping: Lockstep
I will enter the classroom and say hello to each of them, and ask each one how they are, or about
something I know was happening in their lives. I’ll ask them what the date is and I’ll ask them to
open their folders
Warm up Timing 10’
Purpose: To give general feedback on the test results
Grouping: lockstep
By the time of the class, I will have already checked the students’ tests. Based on their
performance, I will use the board to point out and analyze the mistakes or errors detected,
explaining as deeply and extensively as necessary.
Activity 1: Timing 10’
Purpose: To have students work on their personal mistakes
Grouping: individual
I will give each student their tests for them to do the “test corrections” as we usually do: on
the back of their test, they redo each exercise in which they made mistakes. When I check
their tests, I always underline the problem areas in the sentences, but I don’t provide the
correct answer, so this is the time for them to figure out the correct way. They will be able
to turn to their folders and books for clarification. I will be walking around the room helping
them and explaining anything they ask, and correcting the work they’re doing. If a student
has only mistakes to correct, I will encourage them to help a classmate.
If most of them have finished within the 10 minutes and there are some who still haven’t, I
will ask the latter to finish the test corrections at home for next class.
Activity 2: Timing: 15’
Purpose: To further develop their speaking skills
Grouping: individual and in pairs
T. Do you remember what we worked on on Wednesday? What pictures did we analyze?
EA: About gender-neutral and gender-specific toys. T: Right. Today we are going to talk
about something connected to children too. I will hand each of them a worksheet taken
from the photocopiable resources in the course book’s Teacher’s book. In the first part,
they will have expressions halves to match related to young children using social media.
They know most of them so they will easily figure the rest out. I’ll ask them to match the
halves and then get in pairs to compare answers. Once we check the expressions and their
meaning, I will ask a volunteer to read the essay topic below: “Children under the age of
twelve should not have accounts on social media.”. I will ask them to complete the
conversations below with the expressions above. We will check the answers with the whole
class.
Then, I will focus the students’ attention on the chart in the second part of the sheet. There
they will have to complete the missing letters in the expressions grid with what they have
learnt about essays. They will be allowed to check their folders and books if necessary.
Once they have finished and we check them, I’ll ask them to write a few sentences
presenting their point of view using the arguments from part 1 and expressions from part 2.
Then, they will share them out loud.
