This document provides details of an English lesson for 6th grade students on TV programs. The 50-minute lesson will have 3 parts: presentation, practice, and production. In the presentation, students will listen to and identify vocabulary for different TV programs. They will then match pictures of programs to their names. The practice activities will have students working in groups and pairs to reinforce the vocabulary through a game using a handkerchief and running to identify called programs.

Activity 1 (10’min)
Material: A handkerchief
Description and instructions: I’ll ask for a volunteer to be the “speaker”.
Then I’ll divide the class into two teams (A and B) of an equal number of players.
Each team member is secretly given a name of a TV program. The same names
are given to each team but in different order. For example, I’ll say to the first
child of team A the word “comedy” and I’ll same the same word to the third child
of team B. Once each member has a word, I’ll give to the speaker a list of the
words to be practiced. The two teams line up facing each other, about 3 meters
apart, with the speaker in the middle, at the head of the two teams. The speaker
holds the handkerchief where it is clearly visible. The speaker calls out a word,
for example COMEDY. So the two children who have been named comedy must
run to the speaker and try to grab the handkerchief. The child who grabs it runs
back to their team.

8. If they manage to reach the team without being touched by the “comedy”
from the opposing team, they win the point. If the opposing “comedy” manages
to catch up with the runner and touch them, then no points are no scored. The
game continues until all the words have been called out. The team with the most
points at the end is the winner.

T: I need for a volunteer. Who want to be?
STS: Me!
T: (pointing to the first who stand up his/her hand) you, please come at the front
and stand next to me.
T: I’ll divide the class into two teams. Those who I say A will line up on the left side
(pointing) and those who I say B will line up on the right side (pointing).
(Once both teams are completed)
T: I’ll say you a TV program secretly and you have to remember it, okay? (looking at
both team)
(Once I said the word to each team)
T: Now, I give you a list of the TV programs. You have to say one while you maintain
the handkerchief (pointing it) up, do you understand? Ok good! (looking at the
volunteer).
He/she will say a word and the boy or girl of each team (mimic) with this word will
run and try to grab the handkerchief (pointing to it). The first who grabs it runs back
with his/her team. If he/she manages to reach the team without being catch up with
the opposing team member win a point but if the opposing boy or girl manages to
catch up with the runner and touch the handkerchief, then the point is not scored.
T: Do you understand? Have you any doubt?

9. STS: Yes, we understand!
T: Ok, let’s do it once only for practice before starting the game.
Volunteer: “COMEDY”
STS: (both name of each group run and one grabs the handkerchief. He runs back
safely)
T: Excellent! Now, let’s play.

to a pair of students, the second paragraph to other and the third to other two children. I’ll
say them they are students “A”. The same I’ll do with the other text and the rest of the pair

them to complete the gaps with a suitable TV program. I’ll give them five minutes to
complete it. Once they finished, I’ll ask students to group with the other students of the
same letter so they will form two groups (A and B) of six students. I’ll ask them to read the
