The document contains two lesson plans for teaching English to 4th grade students. The plans focus on teaching animal vocabulary. In the first lesson, students will sing a song about animal sounds, name animals from flashcards, and match animals to their names. The second lesson reviews animal names, has students complete a crossword, learn about using "a" and "an", and play a flashcard game identifying animals. Both lessons aim to teach students animal names and pronunciation in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing activities lasting 40 minutes total.
