This lesson plan is for a kindergarten class learning about wild animals. The 30 minute lesson will use videos, songs and activities to introduce animals from The Jungle Book like bear, lion, monkey, snake, panther and tiger. Students will practice identifying and naming the animals, develop listening skills, and follow directions through songs. The lesson will start with a hello song, introduce animals through a walking in the jungle video, have students practice naming animals with cards and puppets, and end with a goodbye song. The teacher plans to assess students through their singing and a speaking activity about favorite animals.

2. • Teaching approach: based on the Natural Approach (Stephen Krashen) and
the PPP method. The students are encouraged to speak English naturally,
without being forced to do it.
• Materials and resources: computer, projector and screen, internet
connection, speakers, animal flashcards in a PowerPoint presentation, small
cards with the names and pictures of the animals, animal puppets.
• Pedagogical use of ICT in class: the students watch three videos. The first
one acts as a hello routine, which attempts to activate students, whereas the
second video is to introduce the topic of the lesson. Finally, they watch a
goodbye video that contains a lot of animals and funny rhymes.
• Seating arrangement: first, the students sit on the floor as in a horseshoe
shape and watch the videos and flashcards. Then, they stand up to sing and
dance. They sit on the floor again and finally they stand up again to dance the
goodbye song.
• Possible problems / difficulties and possible solutions during the class:
in case there wasn´t internet connection, I would download the video before
the class. If it didn´t work, I would sing and use the small cards to present the
animals.
The students may get distracted or not pay attention at some point in the
class. If that happened, I would say: ´1, 2, 3, eyes on me!´
• Potential problems students may have with the language: the students
may not understand one of the words. In that case, I would ask several
students different questions until everybody understands. If someone seemed
not to understand, I would encourage the students to help him or her.
• Assessment: what will be assessed and how: the students` singing the
song is a form of assessment as well as the final speaking activity, when the
students are to talk about the animals they like.
ROUTINE (5´)
Purpose: to engage students, to make them focus on the lesson and to revise
language structures.
Students listen to the following song:

until everybody says ´My name is …´.

animals can you see in the picture?

teacher sings the song along the song WALKING IN THE JUNGLE with the students
and ´act it out´, and when she discovers an animal, they all say: ´IT´S A…´!. (5´)
´Let´s sing, like this (and she starts to sing, looking and expecting that the children
imitate her):

Now, the teacher gives each student a card of a different animal and she shows
them some flashcards. When they appear, the students have to put their cards up
and say: ´It´s a…´ (5´)
Let´s sit on the floor (pointing and doing it) and talk about animals. It´s for you (to all
the students). Now, who has this animal? (showing the picture of an animal) Ohh,
what is it? (if the student doesn´t say, she encourages to say: It´s a … and he or she
repeats), and so on with the rest of the animals.
Transition: The teacher says: Excellent! Now it´s time to sing again!
CLOSURE (5´)
Purpose: to check the students´ understanding of the topic deal in the class and to
say goodbye in a funny way.
The teacher says: ´Now we will watch another video! Let´s sing together!
