- The document provides a lesson plan for a 50-minute English class for 6th grade beginner level students focusing on wild animals. - The lesson aims to have students differentiate between herbivorous and carnivorous animals, learn about the concept of food chains, practice listening and speaking through questions, and review animal vocabulary. - The plan includes watching a video on animals eating, classifying animals in a herbivore/carnivore chart, drawing their own food chains, and completing an exit ticket activity connecting animals in a food chain.

Learning Aims
During this lesson, learners will be able to…
- Differentiate between herbivorous and carnivorous animals by classifying them in a
chart.
- Talk about the concept of “food chain” and watching some examples about the
order in which living things depend on each other for food (they will also model
their own food chains).
- Practice listening and speaking skills through answering questions from the
teacher.
- Revise and learn vocabulary related to animals, their pronunciation and spelling.
- Develop their cognitive skills by classifying animals, applying their knowledge
assessing their peers’ work and creating a food chain by themselves.
- Work on their interpersonal intelligence by working in pairs, interacting with the
teacher, as well as their naturalistic intelligence by learning about kinds of eating-
animals and food chains.

Procedures
(up to 3 minutes)
I will greet students and ask them what date is today.
I will start the lesson by asking students the following question: “what do animals need in
order to survive?” I expect them to answer that they need a nice place to live and food
among other things. I will organize their suggestions on the board. This question serves as
a pre-watching task.
Transition: “That’s right! Actually, they need the same things we need as humans.”
(12 minutes)
Now I will tell students to watch a short video about animals and pay attention to kinds of
food that appear in it, I will ask them a couple of questions to discuss with the whole class
to revise vocabulary related to animals, habitats and food.
Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXNK6ezUkmc
- “What animals did you see?”
- We can also re-watch some parts of the video and ask: “What is the name of this
animal?” in case they didn’t mention all of them (An elephant, bulls, a tiger,
monkeys, camels, kangaroos, a giraffe, turtles, a bear, seal, lemur).
- “Are they in their natural habitats? Where are they?”
- “What are they doing? Is everybody eating the same food? What are they eating?”

3. I will teach some vocabulary related to food that appears in the video: “Pumpkin, plants,
fruits, etc.”.
Then I will say something like “As you know, there are three different types of food-eating
animals. Can anyone name the three types of food-eating animals?” (I will elicit their
answers) I expect them to say: “carnivores (meat eaters), herbivores (plant eaters) and
omnivores (those that eat both)”
Transition: “Alright! Let's focus on carnivorous and herbivorous animals for now”
Activity 1: (10 minutes)
For this activity students will work in pairs. I will distribute some National Geographic
magazines and other similar around the class. Students should find and cut pictures from
carnivorous and herbivorous animals (one of each) and place them in the category they
belong in a chart the I’m going to stick to the board.
Chart:
Carnivores Herbivores
Pictures of: cat, sharks, snakes, etc. Pictures of: camels, elephants,
monkeys, etc.
Once they all finish, we will discuss and check their choices together. I will ask: “Is this
animal a carnivore/herbivore? What does the lion/zebra/dog eat? Do animals eat other
animals?”
Transition: “Very good answers! That's how a food chain is formed”
Activity 2: (15 minutes)
Students will choose one of the animals from the chart and draw their food chain using
arrows from these animals to smaller carnivores/herbivores and arrows to larger
carnivores.
Before the activity, I will briefly explain what a food chain is and illustrate what it looks like
on the board. Students will help me with my drawing and the food chain.
Example:
Scaffolding strategies: I will go around the classroom and check students work, helping
them in case they don’t know/remember key vocabulary or if they don’t know the food

4. chain of their animal. I will try not to use L1, but only gestures, miming, giving clues, asking
questions or even asking other students for help.
Transition: “Your food chains are amazing, but before we finish... one last game”
Students will complete an “Exit Ticket”. The exit ticket will require them to connect four
animal names in a messy food chain only using arrows in the correct direction (from the
last link to the first). Once they all hand in their tickets, the class will be over. I will
demonstrate how to do it first with a card.
Sample ticket:
Exit Ticket:
Bird – Owl – Caterpillar – Snake
Transition: “Good job everybody! See you on Thursday”
