Procedures
For the English lessons, students receive and send activities through a Whatsapp group. I will
send them the link for the videocall meeting through a private Whatsapp group the institution
share with the students as well as with their parents. Moreover, the lesson plan will be
uploaded to a webpage called “Educabot” which the institution chose as a campus for their
students.
3. ROUTINE (5 minutes)
Purpose: To get students be ready to start the lesson.
I will greet students and ask them how they are today. While the teacher listens to students´
comments, she will ask each of them to take a seat. As the teacher listens to them, she will
prepare her computer to connect online with the other half of students.
Transition comment to link each stage of the lessonwith the next one: Hello everybody!
Let start the lesson by refreshing some concepts learned on previous lessons about future
plans/ arrangements…. Are you ready?
Warm – up (10 - 15 minutes)
Purpose: To encourage students to revise their previous knowledge and build a bridge
between the previous and new knowledge.
Before introducing the new vocabulary, I will show some slides w hich explain the uses of
The Future. With this activity, I will help students to check their understanding about the new
grammatical structure learned to talk about future plans/arrangements. In this sense, students
will be ready to continue learning about expressing ideas about their future. During this
activity, I will guide students, help them to recognize and correct their mistakes by
themselves letting them be active learners on their own learning process.
Then, to check student´s understanding, I will ask them to read some sentences and find the
mistake within them. In this activity, I will be an observer and guider in my students´ learning
process, living them the responsibility for their own learning process.

Presentation (15 – 20 minutes)
Purpose: To encourage students to revise their previous knowledge and build a bridge
between the previous and new knowledge.
I will introduce the topic by showing three pictures related to technology and reality and ask them to
think of the first thing that comes to their mind when they see the pictures.
Possible answers: organic food / farming, implants- brain, printer, 3D
After hearing student´s answers, I will ask them to revise the uses of future structures learned by
playing a board game: Board Game: Let's Talk about the Future - English ESL Worksheets for
distance learning and physical classrooms (islcollective.com). In order to help students to
see the sentences in every chart, I will make the copy bigger, also I will have a supportive
role giving the students an active role in which they have to prepare their own sentences by
making use of the prior knowledge regarding the future. Also, I will guide students through
the game, helping them to check their mistakes and making constructive comments about it.

Activity 1: (15 - 20 minutes)
I will invite students to see some pictures related to new inventions which will help in real
life. Do you think the ideas mentioned in this webpage could be true? Why/ why not?
After that, I will invite students to reflect on these questions conside r i ng
what they have read so far.
6. Do you know any of the inventions presented? Which ones?
How do you think they can benefit people?
Do you think the near future will be totally different as it is nowadays? How?
Which inventions do you think are more important for people´s lives? Why?
Scaffolding strategies: Open-ended questioning in order to encourage students to reflect on
what they are learning and acquire the new knowledge in a meaningful way, directing
students to the important aspects of the task.

read a little more about a near future…. Ready?

the class book with activity 2, in which they have to read an article and
complete a summary about it.

tool with the page and activities we will work on, I will provide some examples (such as
which word can be used in each space by giving them some options to choose and reflect on
their choice) as a method to awake student´s attention and check their understanding
regarding the activity itself.

In this activity, students will be active learners, as they will have the responsibility to make
use of the knowledge, they´ve achieved, by making use of future structures. In this sense, I
will be able to check their understanding on how to use the future structures properly.
My role on this activity will be to guide them and help them if they needed to.
