This lesson plan is for a 5th grade English class with 25 students at an elementary language level. The 120-minute lesson aims to teach students to talk about technology and the future using vocabulary like robots and inventions, and to ask and answer questions using will. It includes a warm-up activity where a student dresses as a visitor from the future, presentations of robot teacher pictures, several reading, writing and speaking activities using the student book and worksheets, and a closing discussion about pros and cons of robot teachers. Scaffolding strategies like modeling, partner work and feedback are incorporated throughout the various stages of the lesson.

Procedures
ROUTINE (5 minutes)
I will arrive to the classroom and greet the students, I will wait for them to sit
down and quiet down and I will say “Good afternoon. How are you today?” Then
I will ask one of the class representatives to take attendance.
WARM- UP (10 minutes)
After taking attendance, I will ask a student to go to the front, wear a costume
and pretend to be a visitor from the future. I will tell them. To pick the student I
will ask them to tell me who has the biggest imagination in the classroom. I will
call him/her to the front and I will say: “We received a visit from the future! Let’s
ask him/her some questions. What do you want to know about the future?
Remember to ask questions in future tense”. Students will ask questions and the
visitor will answer using his/her imagination.
PRESENT ATI ON (5 minutes)
I will show students some pictures of robot teachers and I will ask them which
one do they think looks more like a robot teacher. They will have to justify their
answers.
DEVELOP M ENT (PRACTI CE and PRODUCTI ON)
Activity 1  Reading and listening (15 minutes)

3. Then will say “Now take out your Student’s Book and open them at page 98. We
are going to listen and read along the dialogue in activity 17. Then you will
answer: Who will be Leo’s English teacher?” I will play the recording and once it
has finished I will ask some questions to check their comprehension: Where are
they? Is Ms Atkins Leo’s English teacher? Will Ms Atkins be Leo’s English teacher
next year? Does Ms Atkins think that Leo’s English teacher will be nice?
Activity 2  Read and complete (20 minutes)
I will ask students to complete the chart from activity 18. I will do the first item
and then they will complete the rest individually in their books. I will ask them
to pay attention to the verbs and I will ask them if any of the verbs change with
the different subjects. I will copy the chart on the board and once they finish, I
will invite some of them to come to the board and complete it.
Activity 3  Write the words in order to make sentences (15 minutes)
I will ask students to put their books away, take their folders out and copy the
date that I will write on the board. I will give them each a set of mixed words and
they will have to put the words in order to the make questions.
1 watch/will/people/TV/in 100 years/? _________________________________________
2 children/will/go/to/school/? _________________________________________________

4. 3 there/will/be/robot surgeons/? _______________________________________________
4 everybody/eat/organic/food/will/? ____________________________________________
5 will/people/on other planets/live/? ___________________________________________
They will have to glue everything in the folder. Before they glue, I will ask them
to copy this from the board: Write the words in order to make sentences.
Then we will check the answers as a class. I will write the answers on the board
so they do not get confused with the word order.
Activity 4  Speaking (10 minutes)
Students will answer the questions from the previous activity orally. I will ask
the first question and encourage students to share their answers. They will work
with a partner (or two, depending on the number of students) and give reasons
that justify their answers.
Activity 5  Role play (10 minutes)
I willask two groups of volunteers to go the front and role play their answer from
the previous activity to share itwith the class. Incase it is necessary, I willexplain
what role play implies.
Activity 6  Interview questions (20 minutes)
I will give students some sentences to complete. I will explain that for each item
they will have four options, one for each answer.
A In my opinion, 1 _______________ be robot nurses, maids, musicians,
traffic guards, doctors and lawyers. But 2 _______________ think? No, 3
_______________. Researchers haveshown that robots can’t really think. 4
_______________ just do simple tasks.
(there will, they won’t, they’ll, will they)

5. B Well, I think 1 _______________ disappear. But 2 _______________
stop using them? No, they 3 _______________. However, 4
_______________ computers everywhere, 5 _______________ seethem.
(will people, they’ll, won’t, we just won’t, there will be)
C 1 _______________ it matter?No, peopleprobably 2 _______________
because 3 _______________ be pills. 4 _______________ swallow them
and know all the languages of the world!
(will, won’t, we’ll, there’ll)
Fast finishers will check their answers with a classmate. Once they all finished
we will match the answer with a question. I will clarify that two questions will
not have an answer to match them. Then we will check the answers orally as a
class.
1. Do you think everybody will speak English?
2. Will there really be robots that think?
3. How will we use computers?
4. Do you think the Internet will change?
5. Will people live longer?
CLOSURE (10 minutes)

6. To round up the class, I will write on the board “the human touch” and I will ask
students about the pros and cons of replacing teachers with robots. Then I will
ask them to put their things away, I will tell whose turn it is to lower the flag (on
Wednesdays it is 5th level’s day to lower the flag and I get to choose who goes).
I will ask them to put their chairs up on the tables and we will go downstairs to
line up.
