2. Multiple intelligences:
During this lesson the following intelligences will be met:

animals with the flashcards.
- Linguistic-verbal: by answering the teacher´s questions and singing.
- Interpersonal: by interacting with their teacher and classmates.
- Bodily-kinesthetic: singing and dancing the song and drawing the animals.
Materials and resources:
Song, flashcards and worksheet. The flashcards are uploaded to the
campus. I created them. I looked for the pictures in google and printed
them in colour. The worksheet was taken from
www.supersimplelearning.com
The resources are detailed in their right place in the plan.
Possible contingencies:
There are some students who find it difficult to follow the instructions
during the English lessons because of their slow-working path. There are
two troublesome kids in particular who find it really difficult to follow
the lesson. They always misbehave and the teachers don´t seem to care
too much about it. They can be taken out of the classroom if it´s
necessary. The teacher should try to make them feel engaged in the
lesson. During the last lessons these two kids tried to work but their
engagement lasted for some minutes.
The teacher will start singing the silence song in order to ask for silence:
Put your finger on your lip like this, SHHH
Put your finger on your lip like this, SHHH
Close your mouth with a zip,
Put your finger on your lip,
Put your finger on your lip like this, SHHH
Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Put your finger on your lip like this, SHHH
Put your finger on your lip like this, SHHH
Close your mouth with a squeeze
Listen up, quiet please

3. Put your finger on your lip like this, SHHH
Shhhhhhhhhhh
Classroom management strategies:
Explain in L2 what the speaking activity is about and then, ask one student to
explain the activity to see whether he/she has understood. Continue
explaining other activities in L2 as well as usinggestures and body language in
order to avoid the use of L1 in the classroom.
Assessment: collecting information and reportingyour findings
The teacher will observe how much or how little they all participate when
answering questions while they have a look at the flashcards and then, while
singing, dancing and drawing.
Lesson stages:

Lead-in
Students start singing the Hello! Song from their desks (following the daily
routine). They will then be invited to sit down and listen to Miss Pía to start
the speaking activity with flaschards.
Teacher: Hello children, how are you today?
Kids: Fine!!!
Teacher: Great!!!! I´m glad you are fine! Let´s start singing the Hello! Song.....
Teacher: Great job! Now, let´s see if you can guess the animals I brought
today....the teacher imitates the animal and its sound in order to make the
students guess it...once they answer with the name (they mainly use Spanish)
she shows them the animal and says its name in English. Asking them to
repeat it.
Presentation
Today we are going to play with the animals that we learnt in Little Red Hen
and Old Mc Donald. I am going to imitate them and their sounds and you will
have to guess them, alright? Are you ready? Here, we go!
Development of the sequence of activities
During the previous lessons children worked with the story “The Little Red
Hen” and they sang the song “Old Mc Donald”.
Teacher: Ok children, now, we are going to play with the animals that we
learnt with “The Little Red Hen”. Are you ready to guess them? Here, we go!
The teacher starts imitating the animals and their sounds and once the
students answer with one animal she shows them the corresponding
flashcard. The speaking activity is solved all together.
Duration: 15 minutes.

5. After finishing the speaking activity/game children will be invited to sing and
dance with the farm animals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXEq-
