In order to support SEN, I included a wide range of visual aids and activities that offer opportunities
for students to engage and motivate in the virtual class and in the tasks. For instance, reading
together and have time to interact with each other and the teacher. I also designed presentations on
Power Point visually enough to enrich teaching and learning. Furthermore, I believe the digital tools
selected might provide SEN with meaningful means to demonstrate their understanding such as
Voice-thread for speaking, and Padlet and Google apps to work collaboratively.

Lesson 1 “Urban life vs Rural life
PRESENTATION
I will start the lesson showing learners pictures of urban and rural areas. I will ask them to look at the
pictures and describe them. I will try to preview key vocabulary like peaceful, polluted, crowded, and
pretty, by asking them to describe the pictures for example: what types of houses they can see and
what types of transport people might use, what types of jobs people might do in rural or urban areas.
I will also encourage them to see the adjectives by the pictures to describe each picture.
Look at this picture. Can you
describe it for me?

DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION)
Pre-reading Activity
I will invite learners to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdUs8jA7AHk
I will encourage learners to think of two differences between living in cities and in rural areas taking
into consideration the following:
Pace of life - job opportunities - schools - entertainment for young people - types of housing -
transport - shopping - food -
I will ask learners to look at the pictures and reflect on the adjectives above them.
Which adjectives do you associate with the city and which ones with the rural areas?
safe- peaceful- big- exciting- healthy- fast - lonely- dangerous- relaxing- stressful- busy - noisy-
expensive- crowded- polluted- clean- boring-
Rural Area The City
For example:
Comentario [A1]: Which
structures should they use?
You should provide an example.

Let’s see how different rural and urban lives are!
What do you think? Read the following assertions and tick one of the options.
1. The air in the countryside is cleaner but in the city, it is
more polluted.
2. Cities are more crowded than rural areas.
3. It’s quieter and more peaceful in the country.
4. Living in a city is more exciting than living in the
countryside.
5. People from the country are healthier because they grow
their food.

Task: 1
While reading
I will ask learners to read an article.
1. Click on the link and read the article “Urban life vs Rural life”
https://www.stumagz.com/urban-life-vs-rural-life/
2. As you read it, take notes of the words or phrases you do not know or understand
3. Read it again and write down the adjectives used to describe each way of living: “Urban life vs

Student will read the article during the zoom meeting
Post-reading Activity
I will encourage learners to complete with me a comparative chart on Google Docs with the main
characteristics of Rural and Urban lives found within the article. I will share the screen and the Google
doc with them, and ask them to mention and write the main characteristics of each way of living. I
6. 6
will invite them to write any other difference they think to be important to mention to complete the
comparative chart.
Grammar Focus:
Look at the following assertions:
★ Life in the city is faster than in the countryside.
★ The cost of living is more expensive in the city.
Google Slide
I will explain that when we want to describe people or things we use adjectives.
Comparative Adjectives are used to compare two things or people and to highlight the
superiority, inferiority, or equality of one term compared to another.
Google Slide
Let’s look at these examples:
A Village is a small community
with Agriculture as a fundamental
profession.
SMALL is an adjective used to describe
things or people. In the sentence on the left
SMALL modified a noun. “Small
community”
Villages are smaller than cities. SMALLER is the comparative form of small
used to compare two things or people. In the
sentence on the left Smaller highlights the
inferiority of villages compared with cities.
Spelling rules:
7. 7
On Zoom
More examples:
It’s quieter and more relaxing in
rural areas.
Cities are more crowded than
rural areas.
Further Practice.
Use the adjectives from the box below and complete the sentences using the comparative forms of
them. I will give them a few minutes to complete the task on a Google doc that I previously share
with them. Then I will encourage to read their answers and correct all with me.
- helpful- big - dangerous- peaceful- clean noisy- relaxing- expensive- exciting-crowded
- boring- healthy- polluted
Example: The air in the country is cleaner but in the city it is more polluted.
1. City life is __________because there are plenty of things you can do. This is why living in rural
areas can be ______________.
8. 8
2. Cities are ______________ and _____________than villages because more people live there.
3. Some people believe that in the city life is _______________than in the countryside.
4. There is a strong sense of community in the country and neighbours are usually
_______________.
5. It’s quieter and ________________in the countryside.
6. Cities are ________________than urban areas because of the traffic.
7. Rural life is _____________beacusebecause people grow their own food.
8. Life in the country is much _________________than in the city.

PRESENTATION
I will start the lesson encouraging learners to think about their lifestyles. I will introduce the topic
presenting some adjectives that could describe their lifestyles, such as
Sporty/ Peaceful /Exciting / Active /Rural /Boring / Urban. And a question:
Which adjectives best describe the life you live?
Like this on a Power Point Presentation
Which adjectives
best describe
the life you live?
... Boring Exciting Peaceful
12. 12
Rural Urban Sporty Active
I will explain that the way people spend their time is called lifestyle. I will also make learners describe
the way they live according to the adjectives they have chosen. For instance, if they chose urban and
sporty I could ask: Where do you live? Could you describe your city? What sports are you into? Do you
exercise? How often?
I will encourage them to take turns to participate.
DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION)
Look at the entry from the Longman Exams Dictionary. Mark the key points that define lifestyle .
life . style / ˈlaɪfstaɪl/ n [C] the way a person or group of people live, including the place they live in,
the things they own, the kind of job they do and the activities they enjoy: Regular exercise is part of a
healthy lifestyle. | lavish/comfortable/simple/etc. lifestyle.
Then I will ask them to focus on the highlighted phrase, and ask:
What does it mean to live a healthy lifestyle?
Look at the picture.
What does it mean to maintain a healthy lifestyle? What should we do?
I will encourage learners to look at the picture and describe it. For example: What can you see in the
picture? Mention the things you see and what they have to do with maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
13. 13
For example: I can see a trainer/sneaker, a bike, a racket, a jump rope, etc.
We should do exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Discuss it with your group for a few minutes then share your findings.
On Zoom using ‘breakout rooms’ (where students work separately in smaller groups) for a few
minutes. Then,, they come in back to the current class meeting.
Then I will invite Ls to think about a brief reflection.
Did you Know?
That we should change some habits to live a
healthy lifestyle.
Our daily routine should include exercising and
eating vegetables and fruit. However, we should
go to the doctor before we start a diet.
Do you think they are HEALTHY or UNHEALTHY habits?
Activity 1 (On Zoom)
Please, Take turns to participate.
Is there any volunteer to read?
Lifestyles HEALTHY UNHEALTHY
I go jogging every day before I go to work.
I always get up late, I don’t have time for breakfast.
I eat vegetables every day. I love them.
I am a social smoker and only smoke at parties.
I usually get up early and go to bed too late. I always
feel so tired.
Then I will make learners read Mario’s routine. and I will also encourage them to reflect on it by asking
them why Mario looks so bad.
14. 14
I will give learners a few minutes to respondse: I will give them my opinion too.
For instance, I will say, “In my opinion, Mario should get more sleep. What do you
think?”
Activity 2 (On Zoom)
Speaking:
On another Slide:
“Our personal lifestyle is a result of our choices”
Keep in mind this central idea and be honest. Choose between these dishes. Look at the chart.
Take turns to participate.
For example:
● I choose to eat pastries for breakfast because they are more delicious than a bowl of yogurt
with fruit.
● I eat a packet of chips as a snack in break-times because it’s Cheaper.
You can use these adjectives
Delicious- quick- fast- practical- expensive- cheap-
For breakfast:
15. 15
as a snack:
For dinner:
I will explain that although we have likes and preferences related to food, we should know what
nutrients our bodies need to keep us healthy.
Activity 3 (On Zoom)
Then I will ask Ls these questions On Zoom
● Can you think about more unhealthy habits?
● What should you do to live a healthy life?
● What shouldn’t?
I should exercise twice or three
times a week.
I shouldn’t drink alcohol.
I should….
16. 16
I shouldn’t...
I will say that if we want to live a healthy lifestyle we should change some habits. Our daily routine
should include exercising and eating vegetables and fruit. However, we should go to the doctor
before we start a diet.
Then I will encourage them to read and complete.
I will name learners to read and response.
Follow up activity 4 (On Zoom)
All right guys. I want you to give some advice to these people using SHOULD -SHOULDN’T and the
following phrases or whatever you consider would benefit each person.
Exercise twice a week—go to the doctor--sleep—move to the countryside--
Roberto wants to change his lifestyle. He
has never exercised, and sometimes
smokes.
Firstly, he shouldn’t smoke.
He should exercise twice or three times a
week.
Maria lives in a city. She starts suffering
lung problems.
She should...
Sergio exercises three times a week and
eats healthy food but he feels tired all the
time.
He should…
Alice studies and works. She sleeps 6 hours
every day. She feels tired all day.
She should….
Now that you can recognize healthy and unhealthy habits let’s see beyond.
Why is it important?
In order to introduce the video “tips for starting a healthy lifestyle”
I will ask learners two questions - if they live healthy lives and how they know it.
I will invite them to watch a video and take notes of the tips. then I will encourage them to mention
the tips they could see and remember from the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aNNYEUARAk
17. 17
I will play the video again and ask learners to order the tips as they appear in the video.
Then I will show learners a slide with a sentences on it. like this:
I will ask them if they know the meaning of “For life” and encourage them to explain the phrase.
I will tell them that that sentence is a conditional if I … is a situation and I will… the consequence.
Then I will invite them to complete some examples. I could also play the video again for them to
listen and complete.
18. 18
Grammar focus (On Zoom)
First Conditional.
Look at the following statement:
If I eat healthy food, I will have more energy.
Can you recognize the tense of the underline statement?
Good!
I will explain that it’s up to us to live a healthy life from now on, and that we will benefit for the rest of
life.
Go back to activity 4.
19. 19
Roberto wants to change his lifestyle. He has never exercised, and sometimes smokes.
Advice: He should exercise and give up smoking.
Possible situation Consequence
If Roberto gives up smoking, he will avoid suffering from lung cancer.
If he starts doing exercise, he will feel and look his best.
Point at the correct option to make up the grammar rule. (I will highlight the correct answer for
them to see it)
The first Conditional is used to talk about things that might happen in the Past-/Present-/Future.
Things, which could-/could not easily, come true.
Use: If + present to talk about a possible situation and will/won’t + the base form to talk
about the consequence.
The -If clause can come first or second. If the if clause come first, we put a comma
before the next clause.
Negative
If + present simple, subject + will + NOT +
base form of the verb + complement
If Danny eats healthy, he won’t get sick.
Question
Wh + will + base form of the verb + if + subject
+ present simple + complement?
What will happen if you eat healthy?
What about Maria, Sergio and Alice?

Please write your contribution on the chat-box as you mention it orally.
PRESENTATION
I will invite learners to read a quote. “We are what we eat” (Hippocrates) /hɪˈpɒkrətiːz/ and ask them
whether they agree or disagree with this philosopher.
★ Do you agree with Hippocrates? Why? Why not?
❖ Did you read the article?
❖ What should you eat?
❖ Why is it important?
❖ What is junk food?
❖
DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION)
I will ask learners to look at this picture
Can you describe the products in the pyramid?
What can you see at the top…?
I will ask learners to discuss in groups of 4 (break-out rooms in zoom) the article they read in advance
and complete the following statements:
Key points
Con formato: Sangría: Izquierda:
1,27 cm, Sin viñetas ni numeración
24. 24
● Pre-teens and teens need a wide variety of foods from the five healthy food groups:
_____________, ____________, _________,__________and ______________..
● Healthy foods have nutrients that are important for growth and development _________
___________.
● Your child should avoid foods high in _________, saturated ______ and _________, foods
low in fibre and nutrients, and drinks with caffeine or lots of sugar.
Then I will ask learners to read one of the statements at a time. And I will show them this slide, and
ask for a volunteer to read it.
Then I will explain why it is important eating healthy during adolescence. and encourage them to
answer the following question:
Do you think that eating healthy is important during adolescence?
Take these key points into consideration to respond.
● Your bodies are changing
● You, as teens, are becoming more independent and making food decisions on
your own.
● Many of you have a growth spurt and increase in appetite and need healthy
food to meet your needs.
Example:
I think It’s important because our bodies are changing during this stage.
In my opinion…
Growth spurt: Sudden increase in size.
Google slide
Activity 1:
25. 25
I will ask learners to look up some terms on Google or in a dictionary. Then complete the following
activity.
Match the terms on the right with the definitions on the left.
a. Growth spurt 1 Contribute to the overall health and
maintenance of the body.
b. Hormonal changes 2 Developing factors that cause health
problems such as heart disease, stroke,
and kidney problems increases
c. Tissue development 3 Sudden increase in size.
d. Processed food 4 Drinks that contain added sugars or
sweeteners
e. Sugary drinks 5 When there is too much or too little of
a hormone.
f. Risk of obesity 6 Those that typically come in a box or bag
and contain more than one item on the list
of ingredients.
On another slide, I will summarize the idea and the key concept for better understanding. I will ask
learners to read aloud.
Are there any volunteers to read?
That’s why...
● Teens need extra nutrients to support bone growth, hormonal changes and
organ and tissue development, including the brain.
● Teens should eat breakfast, drink water and limit highly processed food, sugary
drinks and eating out.
● Healthy eating habits and physical activity can help lower the risk of obesity.
The teen years are a time of rapid growth. The two main nutrients of concern for
teenagers are calcium and iron.

I will show learners this definition and ask one of them to read it.
DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION)
“Puberty is a time when a
person’s body, feelings, and
relationships change from a
child’s into an adult’s. These
changes are physical,
emotional, and social.
Puberty happens to everyone
although everyone goes
through the changes of
puberty at different times in
their life.
Then I will invite them to watch a video that explains better what puberty means I will say, All
right guys let’s learn about this human stage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRyOcLSJDzk&t=2s
I will ask Learners to reflect on these questions:
33. 33
● What is puberty?
● What happens to my body?
● Is puberty different for everyone?
Then I will ask them to read the following text.
Activity 1 Speaking
Look at the following pictures and compare.
During Puberty our bodies start changing. If you are a boy, you will get taller, your voice will get
deeper, and your penis and testicles will get bigger.
If you are a girl, you will get taller too, but your body will go through different changes. Can you
mention these changes? Take turns to participate.
Girls Boys
Activity 2
Now you know that everyone goes through puberty. Do remember what will happen to your
34. 34
bodies If you are a female or a male? I will ask learners to think and tick. (I will send learners the
chart on a word document for them to work) Then I will encourage them to share their
productions. by asking for volunteers to read each assertion and other mention the answer.
I will tell learners that puberty and growing up is an exciting time that can also be confusing.
Explain that every single adult they know has survived puberty and they will too.
Sometimes puberty can be difficult and there are ways to help you get through those tough times.
I will list some pieces of advice to manage that anxiety as appropriate.
35. 35
You should...
❖ Eat a healthy diet
❖ Exercise regularly
❖ Get plenty of sleep
❖ Keep a journal to share feelings
❖ Talk with someone you love about how you’re feeling
❖ Realize you are not alone, everyone goes through puberty
Why are those pieces of advice important and relevant? Write and answer for each piece of
advice. For example: Eating a healthy diet.
We should eat a healthy diet because our bodies need nutrients to grow up.
Homework 1: Conduct a family interview with an adult in your family that you are comfortable
talking to. Together, find a quiet spot to talk together and use the following questions to guide
your interview.
1) What did it feel like to go through puberty when you were my age?
2) What did you like about growing up into an adult?
3) What was difficult about going through puberty for you?
4) What do you wish you had known about puberty when you were
my age?
5) What advice do you have for kids going through puberty today?

2. Share your tips with a partner/s on a Google doc.
3. Choose 5 of them and organize your ideas and write a descriptive ESSAY explaining why
you two choose them. Write a paragraph for each of them (15 to 20 words per

Comentario [A7]: What about its
structure?
Comentario [A8]: You should

include introduction, body,
conclusion.
By the way, 5 paragraphs (one per
tip) in the body might be quite too
much…

day, your body and brain will work better. Some people have problems falling asleep. If you relax or
do yoga before you go to bed, it will be easier to sleep.
