The lesson plan is for a 3rd grade English class focusing on farm and city vocabulary. Students will listen to a story about characters who live on a farm and in the city. They will answer comprehension questions about the story and have the option to draw their favorite part. The teacher plans to take the students to the computer lab to listen to the story and complete follow-up activities online to reinforce the vocabulary.

STAGES OF THE LESSON PLAN
 ROUTINE (3’)
Purpose: to get students in the mood to start the language class.
T: Hello children!
SS: Hello Miss Ailén
T: How are you today?
SS: Fine, and you?
T: I’m great! Did you have a nice weekend?
SS: Yes...
The teacher will write on the board for children to copy:
Today is Tuesday August 15th
Today is rainy and... (students had to complete it).
Interaction Patterns: T-S
Transition: Listen class, today we are going to the computer lab, so take your things and let’s go!
WARM-UP (10’-15’)
Purpose: to introduce the topic
T: Where do we live?
SS: Bariloche!
T: Ok, yes. But is Bariloche a farm? Or a city?
SS: A city
Comentario [A2]: Is there a computer
per student? Are they actually using the
computers?

3. T: Great. Tell me now, do you know what can wewe can find in a city? And in on a farm? Have you
ever been in on a farm? (Pictures will be shown to help students).
SS: Cars, animals, houses…
T: Perfect! And what kind of animals can we find in on a farm? (Flashcards will be shown,
example)

4. SS: Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits...
T: Perfect! And what things can we do in a city/on a farm? For example, in a city we can go to the
movies; in on a farm we can ride horses, or use a tractor. Do you know what a tractor is?
SS: Yes/No... (T will explain and show a picture)
T: Ok, and where would you like to live/go? Would you like to live in on a farm? Or in a big city?
SS:...
Interaction Patterns: T-S
Transition: Ok, class, we are now going to listen to a story about Tom and his cat Tip, who live in a
farm and want to go the city; and Pam and her dog Mops, who live in the city and want to go a
farm.
 PRESENTATION (20’)
Purpose: to introduce the story
T: Ok, so I told you we were going to listen to a story, but first I would like us to do an activity. I
would want you to look at these two pictures and name 5 things you can see in each picture (they
will work in pairs).
The activity will be checked orally. T will write the words on the board below the corresponding
picture.
Transition: Well done class!
Interaction Patterns: S-S
 DEVELOPMENT (50’)
Activity 1:
Purpose: listen to the story (you can find it at the end of the document)

5. T: Do you remember the name of the characters?
SS: Yes/No
T: We have Tom and Tip and Pam and Mops. Tom lives in on a farm and Pam in...
SS: City
T: Good. What do you think will happen when Tom and Tip go to the city? And when Pam and
Mops go the farm?
SS:....
Transition: Ok, good, let’s find out if you were right. Now put your headphones on and listen to
the story.
Interaction Patterns: T-S
Activity 2:
Purpose: checking comprehension
T: Can someone tell me what happened in the story? Did Tom enjoy the city?...
SS:....
T: Why do you think Pam didn’t like the farm? You can look at the pictures for help, what can you
see?.
SS:...
T: what do you think Pam and Tom could have done to enjoy their time in on the farm/city? For
example, riding a horse, going to the movies...
Transition: Ok class, you can make a drawing about the story, for example, about your favourite
part, about what could Tom or Pam had enjoyed...
Interaction Patterns: T-S
Comentario [A3]: I don´t remember.
Are they familiar with these characters?
Comentario [A4]: Will they be able to
answer these questions?
Comentario [A5]: You may ask them to
draw their favourie part, but do encourage
them to use the target language as well.
They might write a sentence about what
they are drawing.
Or you may just do some oral follow-up
activities. You can say some sentences and
have students respond physically to
determine if they are true or false,
dramatize some parts of the story, among
other activities. Choose the one that suits
the group best! Just make sure it fosters
real practice of the target language.

6. NOTE:
Extra Activities:
In case they finish too quickly, but usually they take longer than expected.
1. Arrange the pictures in the correct order
2. Word search (http://www.primarygames.com/science/farmanimals/games/word_search/)
3. Crossword
 CLOSURE (5’)
Comentario [A6]: This is a great
activity! You can do some picture
description while putting the pictures in
order.
Comentario [A7]: Please read my
comment below. You can find some online
practice.

Observations Another story! This time you are taking students to the lab. Keep an eye on
discipline and on timing. Think of the follow-up activities. As you will be in the lab, I
truly believe you should take advantage of that. Why don´t you find some online
games to practise farm animals, for instance? If not, you are just doing a simple
listening activity in a different classroom.
For example, on this webpage there are plenty of games that you can use to
practise the target vocabulary. I really liked the puzzles and wordsearch.
http://www.primarygames.com/science/farmanimals/games.htm
There are tons of resources online. I`m positive you will find great ideas!
Hope you find the comments and suggestions useful.
Enjoy the lesson!
