This lesson plan aims to teach first grade students about different shapes. It includes three stages - a warm up using video to introduce shapes, a presentation where the teacher shows pictures of shapes and asks students to identify them, and a development stage with two activities. The first activity has students find shapes in a picture, and the second has them color shapes on a fish picture according to the teacher's instructions. The lesson ends by watching part of a video about shapes. The plan provides details on teaching approaches, materials, seating, possible issues and their solutions.

case, I’ll remind them we should be careful with the resources used and be able
to perform all the activities. In order to they get quiet: I´ll say Silence, please!
 Potential problems students may have with the language: They may
not understand the question: What shape is it? I’ll guide them by pointing the
different pictures and modeling the answer first.

is I will put the video again, stop it and pointing the different shapes when I
asked)
- Have you seen a star? Yes, very good, it is on the video.
I will ask them about every shape in order to listen to the vocabulary.

comprehension.

images.
- Now look the images, what shape is it? I will point out to the wheel, for
example, at the moment of asking.
