This lesson plan is for a 5th grade English class with beginner level students. The plan aims to consolidate vocabulary related to animals and language structures like "have/has got" and "can". It will introduce new vocabulary for domestic and wild animals. The 45 minute lesson involves singing a greeting song, identifying animals in a picture as domestic or wild, listening to and singing a song about jungle animals, creating and filling in a Venn diagram to classify animals, writing sentences comparing animals, and saying goodbye. The teacher provides scaffolding such as exaggerating actions to encourage shy students and having stronger students help with classifications.

2. Materials
- Picture from the students’ English course book (page 55) printed in colour
- Students’ English course book
- Color photocopies of different animals
- A big Venn Diagram made in cardboard
- Downloaded song “The jungle of Brazil”
Procedures
Timing: 5’
- I’ll sing the “Hello song”
- I’ll encourage the whole class to greet some mates using the song
Timing: 5’
- I’ll show them the Picture from their English course book (page 55) printed in color.
THE BIG QUESTIONS:
- Are cats domestic animals?
- What is wild and what is not?
- What is the difference between a wild animal and a domestic animal?
Scaffolding strategies: animals are beautiful! They have different habitats! It’s Ok to love them all!
The teacher will name and point to the animals and their habitats on the picture.
Transition comments: Great job kids! Now we are going to draw a chart
Timing: 10’
- I’ll ask them to listen to the song “Jungles of Brazil”
- I’ll ask them to listen to the song again, but this time I’ll encourage them to sing and mime
the animals’ sounds.
- I’ll ask them to write the animals in order (as they are said in the song)
Scaffolding strategies: The teacher mimes the song every time. She encourages those shy
students to mime or sing by exaggerating the actions. She’ll play the song as many times as
necessary.
Transition comments: Great job kids! Now we are going to draw a chart on the board to describe
and compare animals.
Timing: 20’
- I’ll ask them questions from the picture. For example, How are wild animals and domestic
animals different? How are domestic animals similar to wild animals?
- I’ll draw a Venn Diagram on the board
- I’ll ask them to say and list 10 wild animals.
- I’ll ask them to say and list 10 domestic animals.
- I’ll ask them to say and list 10 animals that are both domestic and wild.

3. - I’ll have a very big Venn Diagram made in cardboard
- I’ll give them 3 copies of different animals printed in color (not all students will have the
same copy/animals)
- I’ll ask them to cut (if necessary), classify and paste the animals in the correct place from
the diagram
- The big diagram will serve as a resource for the class

5. Scaffolding strategies: the teacher will ask a stronger student to guide those students who have
doubts about some animal classification
Transition comments: Very well done kids!!! You’ve done a great job!
Timing: 10’
- I’ll write sentences on the board. For example: The horse lives in the farm but the tiger lives
in the jungle. The turtle and the snake are domestic animals. The cat has got a tail and the
parrot has got wings. The parrot can fly but the cat can’t.
- The sentences will serve as a model FOR oral practice.
- I´ll ask students to orally make similar sentences. Then he/she will write it on the board.
- I’ll give one student a sheet of white paper to write one sentence from the board. He/she
will give the piece of paper to one partner to write another sentence from the board and so
on. At least 5 sentences must be written.
- All students will have the opportunity to participate (orally, orally and written, written on the
board or on the sheet of white paper)

6. Scaffolding strategies: students will use the language they have just learnt. They will use the
diagram to support their speaking and writing.
Transition comments: Great job kids! It’s time to say goodbye! See you on Friday…Bye bye!!!
