The lesson plan aims to teach 6th grade students about family members and possessive adjectives. It includes a warm-up activity identifying characters from The Simpsons, presentation of new vocabulary through pictures and a poster, practice activities matching family members with possessive adjectives and completing sentences, and a closing song to review the lesson. The plan integrates reading, writing, listening and speaking skills and uses visual and auditory methods to engage different learning styles. Feedback suggests including more oral communication practice through a guessing game to encourage meaningful use of the target language.

 Aims or goals:
 During this lesson students will be able to recognize the different members
of the family (mother, father, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather) and
learn how to name each of them applying the correct pronunciation of the
new vocabulary.
 Learners will make use of their listening comprehension skills when they
listen to the teacher,their peers and the song. They’ll also put into practice
their speaking skills, when they interact with their peers in one of the
activities, when they all read together the answers of the activities in order
to check them and when they sing the song.
 Learners will put into practice their background knowledge when they
recognize the Simpsons’ characters, which will help to create the context in
which they’ll learn the members of the family and the Possessive adjectives.
 Regarding the multiple intelligences by Spratt et al,2005. They’ll use the
visual (they’ll learn through seeing pictures and posters) and the auditory
(they’ll learn through hearing the teacher and the songs.)
 Teaching points: The family and Possessive adjectives.

3.  Teaching approach or combination of methods / approaches: Communicative approach- PPP method.
 Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how? The skills that will be integrated during this
lesson are reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
 Materials and resources: pictures, a poster, sticking tape, mobile phone, loudspeakers, photocopies,
marker, board.
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: I’ll use my mobile phone and my loudspeakers to listen to the
song. Unfortunately the primary school doesn’t have a LCD , so I won’t be able to use videos.
 Seating arrangement: They’ll be sitting in pairs.
 Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: Students may get distracted
talking about The Simpsons’ episodes. In this case, I’ll tell them (in a kind manner) that then they can
talk about The Simpsons’ episodes, but now they have to pay attention in order to learn.
 Potential problems students may havewith the language: Maybe students will mix the verb To Be with
the Possessive adjectives. So, I’ll have to explain to them that they’re different topics, and I’ll clarify all
their doubts.
 Assessment: I’ll teach students using pictures and a poster. I’ll check if students understand or not by
observing them and asking them Is it clear? (I’ll put my finger up) or not? (I’ll put my finger down)
Mandatory lesson stages:

don’t like them very much. Besides, they’re quite out of context, but the teacher told me that I must work

Observations
Nice context! They will surely like working with The Simpsons` family. You may
use different famous families to develop your lessons.
Try to follow a communicative approach. So far, you have just focused on
form. You can include some oral practice. For instance, you may play a
guessing game, encouraging students to use the target language meaningfully.
You may choose a flashcard of one of the members of this family, and give
some hints, so that they guess who that person is. For example, Her mother is
Marge, her father is Homer, her sister is Maggie, her brother is Bart. Who is it?
You can have volunteers producing those sentences too.
Hope my comments and suggestions are clear and useful.
Have a nice lesson!
