This lesson plan is for a 40-minute beginner level English class for 11-year-olds focusing on pets. The lesson uses videos, flashcards, the student book, and an activity book to help students learn vocabulary for different pets and structures like "have they got...". Key activities include a guessing game with animal drawings, listening to and following along with an audio on pets, drawing and labeling their favorite pet and its supplies, and singing songs. The lesson is well organized with clear stages and uses a variety of resources to engage different learning styles. Transitions between activities could be strengthened by providing more context and questions to scaffold listening comprehension.

• Teaching Approach: The lesson is based on the Natural Approach, and organized trough the
PPP procedure (Harmer, 2010).
• Materials and Resources: Flashcards related with the topic, audio from Our Discovery Island
2, Pupil’s book page 24, activity book page 22, videos from You Tube.
• Pedagogical use of ICT in class: Activities organised through the use of audio-visual materials
enhances language learning and acquisition.
• Seating arrangement: students will be sitting in their seats in order to facilitate visual contact
and interaction within the group. At some points in the lesson, they’ll move around the class.
• Possible problems /difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: children may
not understand the topic or the games, but this situation will change when the teacher
explains again using mimes and gestures. They could feel shy at the moment of passing to the
board, but here the teacher will encourage them to participate and enjoy the class.
• Potential problems students may have with the language: students may find it hard to
produce the chunk ‘have they got…’ however, the teacher will try to encourage them. The
teacher will help with the sound in ‘they’ making a demonstration to pronounce correctly.
• Assessment: what will be assessed and how: the teacher will check students’ comprehension
by miming, doing gestures and watching if they perform the actions or not. Encourage them
to produce the new vocabulary using flashcards and visual materials. If they get shy, the
teacher will check they can recognize the items by saying (showing a picture about the topic) is
it a cat? To sts answer just ‘yes – no’.

other animals ‘have they got long hair?’ EA: Yes/No, the students will realize that the teacher is

Observations What a nice lesson, Leti! Work on the transitions, so that activities develop
smoothly. Before watching the video, pose a general question or briefly describe
what they are going to watch. Students always need a purpose for watching, and
ask some questions you know they will be able to answer in L2 after watching.
It would be great if you could take some realia to the lessons.

10. Have a great time!
