This document provides a lesson plan for a 6th grade English class at a state primary school in Presidente Perón, Argentina. The lesson focuses on road safety and practicing colors, listening, reading, and following instructions. There are 14 students in the class between ages 11-12 who have English lessons twice a week for 40 minutes each. The lesson plan includes warming up by singing a song, activities matching traffic light colors to their meanings, listening to and completing a chant about traffic lights, ordering steps to cross the road safely, and identifying pedestrian traffic signals. The overall objectives are to review colors, practice language skills, and teach students how to identify safe and unsafe street situations.

Warm up (5 minutes)

welcome friends!” Then I’ll ask them how they are doing and “What day is today?”,
after students have answered I’ll write the date on the board.
Procedure

3. Activity 1
(10 minutes)
First, I’ll begin the lesson showing the students my
handmade traffic light and I’ll talk to them about the
importance of knowing what this signalling device
means. I’ll ask them questions about their transportation
routines, how often they walk around the city, if they ever
walk alone or if they are always accompanied, and by
who (an adult, another friend, etc). I’ll point out each
colour, ask them which colour it is, and I'll tell them what
they mean Red: Stop!; Yellow: Wait!; Green: Go!. I’ll
be writing the words Stop!, Wait! and Go! on the
blackboard and I’ll put up the flashcards of the 3 colours
next to the words in a disorganized way so they can
match them. Finally, I’ll invite them (if the headmistress
lets me) to the backyard to play a game or just inside the
classroom. They’ll have to pay attention to the colour I
say and act accordingly: if they hear “green”, they’ll have
to walk, if they hear “yellow” they’ll have to walk slower
and if they hear “red” they must stop immediately.

4. Activity 2: read and
colour. Say the
chant. (5 minutes)

Students will listen to track 13 and will follow the
sentences on the textbook. I’ll explain that the colours
from the traffic lights are missing, so they’ll have to listen
to the chant and complete it (since they cannot write on
the books, I’ll ask them to draw 3 traffic lights and colour
them as they hear the audio). Then I’ll play the audio
again and we’ll say it all together.
Activity 3:
(5 minutes)
Students will write down the phrases next to their
drawings from activity 2. They’ll have to complete the
sentences with the words that are missing. I’ll ask some
volunteers to read them aloud so we can check.

5. Activity 4: listen and
repeat, then put in
order and write! (10
minutes)
I’ll read them the steps to safely cross the road
(explaining the new vocabulary), then they’ll repeat each
indication. I’ll mix up the flashcards and stick them to the
blackboard, and they’ll have to write the steps in order in
their notebooks.
Activity 5:
(5 minutes)

6. I’ll show them my handmade pedestrian traffic signal and
ask them if they know it. I’ll invite them to draw the
pictures from the book in their notebooks, and write next
to them the word that corresponds.
