This lesson plan is for a 6th grade English class in Argentina and aims to have students continue talking about personal information by answering WH-questions. It includes warm-up activities comparing personal information in Argentina and England, a main speaking activity where students answer questions about themselves, and a homework assignment reviewing what they learned. Potential issues and solutions are addressed, such as having an odd number of students for group work.

Class description:
There are twenty-five students in this group between 10 and 11 years-old. They have
English classes twice a week, for 40 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 answer wh-questions.
Subsidiary aim:
1. Revise the verb “to be” as well as the verbs in the present simple form.
2. Revise some vocabulary.
3. Interact with one another.
Personal aims:
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 and encourage them to
participate.
Timetable fit:
In the last lessons, the students have been working on personal information about both
themselves and a classmate.
Materials:
1. Board and board markers and chalk.
2. Pieces of paper for the game.

3. Flashcards with pictures for the main activity.
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.
Possible solutions:
1. My partner will take part in the “wheel” if necessary.
2. I will do my best to speak louder and clearer.
