the purpose to expose learners to authentic material.
- Reading skills will be also practised during the presentation and
practice periods to check learners understanding of the L2.
Materials and resources:

on is really short.
Assessment: what will be assessed and how:
1) I´ll assess learners´ previous knowledge and understanding of
the simple present by making the personal questions during the
routine period.
2) I´ll check learners´ comprehension of the text through the
identification of frequency adverbs, transparent words, lexis
related to Halloween and answering oral and written questions
about the text.

3. 3
Potential problems students may have with the language:
-In case students don´t understand some lexis or instructions, I will
use pictures, gestures, miming and pointing to aid comprehension.
-I´ll ask other students to explain what was said in order to help every
student understand what to do.
- I´ll change the activities, if learner´s lack of understanding causes
their misbehavior.
Routine: (5´)
Greet students and make them some oral questions using simple present.
Warm- up: (12´)
I´ll paste on the board the following pictures and their corresponding words:
Jack-o-lantern Ghost/Spirit Pumpkin
Neck Cemetery Hanging
Witch Barrel

Then, I´ll invite students to come up to the board and match them. (Students
will be allowed to use their phones to search the words they don´t know the
meanings.)
Next, I´ll invite them read the words with my help and I´ll ask them to what
celebration these words are related to.
After that, I´ll paste the following questions on the board with their
corresponding answers written in symbols. I´ll read a question and ask
learners to try to find the correct answer.
I´ll paste the following chart on the board:

Presentation: (4´)
Before starting with the book introduction I´ll invite students to watch a short
power point in order to know just a few pieces of information about
Halloween.
(I decided to create the power point since all the videos I found weren´t
appropriate to the students` level of English.)
Practice: (16´)
As the classroom teacher told learners we will start reading the book next
week, it won´t be a surprise for them. So, I´ll explain them we will start
exploring the story.
 I´ll prepare a poster of the introduction of the book with some missing
words. So, I´ll provide the missing words with the purpose to invite
students discover where they should be placed.
I´ll paste the poster on the board and ask some learners to approach
to the board and paste the words in the empty spaces.
