Procedures
- Ask them how they are and take attendance. Then, ask them what date it is and write it on
the blackboard.
In order to introduce students to the topic, and to activate their previous knowledge, I will write
the following statement on the board to be discussed.
“Pizza is delicious”. Do you agree? Yes/No. Why?
Then, I will show them a card of pizza and I will tell them “Pizza is an Italian typical food”
3. After that, I will display a world map. I will invite a volunteer to go TO THE front, take the card
and stick it on the correct country.
I will have ten cards with different foods and their nationalities (Croissant- French, Sushi -
chinese, Feijoada-brazilian, Paella-spanish, Bulgogi- Koeran, empanada-argentinian, etc). Students will
take turns to pick a card and classify them in the correct place on the map.
I will repeat this action with all the cards.
Transition: Well done! So, now we are going to read a text about Tina’s favourite food.

I will ask students to open their English folders, I will give them a photocopy to match the
possible unknown words and images from the text to read

I will ask student to complete the following activities
Activity 1
Activity 2

Focus on grammar
I will encourage students to come up with the rule for the adverbs of frequency and its order
in the sentence.
I will ask them to find examples in the text.
7. Then I will ask a volunteer to write the example on the board. After that, I will tell them the
rule
SUBJECT + ADVERB + MAIN VERB.
I USUALLY HAVE
I ALWAYS EAT
Sometimes can be placed before the verb, at the beginning or at the end of the sentence.
Can you find the example in the text?
Scaffolding strategies: checking and guiding students on their progress, pointing, asking and
personalising questions. Using images and students’ previous knowledge.

I will ask them to work individually and I will tell them they can use their cell phones to
search for specific information on the web.
After that, I will collect their productions to create a multicultural poster about foods.
After writing: 15 min
I’ll ask students to stick their productions at the school corridors. Before that, they have to
take photos to their works, because they will be uploaded to the Instagram school page to
develop awareness on the community.
Scaffolding strategies: providing texts and formats as a model to create their own writings, providing
opportunities to practice and improve their reading and writing skills with a meaningful purpose.
Giving them the chance to be active participants in social issues related to the health care.
Transitions comments: Great job! Now, let’s upload the pictures to the IG.
I’ll ask students to choose the pictures and the music for the IG stories and posts.
Students will upload their works
Scaffolding strategies: Giving them time to reflect on the language by their own. Giving examples, and
recasting to English when necessary. Giving them the opportunity to use the target language with a
meaningful and communicative purpose.
Transition comments: Great job! Remember SAY NO TO SMOKING. Thanks a lot for tell us about them.
It’s time to say goodbye! See you next Tuesday!

Make sure their productions are varied. If the school policy allows them
to do so, they could use apps to design some digital posters to post
online, too.
