This lesson plan is about teaching animals and actions to young English learners. The teacher will revise animals and actions taught in previous classes through a warm-up activity where students match pictures and words. Students will then watch videos of birds in England and identify mallards, geese, and swans. They will practice writing sentences about what each bird can and cannot do by completing a chart in small groups. The goal is for students to recognize vocabulary and develop listening, speaking, and writing skills.

Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
Listening, speaking and writing skills will be integrated in the present
class through:
- Answering oral question about what animals can/can´t do during the
warm-up and presentation periods.
- Developing the listening activity presented in the presentation period
with the purpose to expose children to authentic material with visual
support.
In addition, the writing skill is also practiced along the practice period
since learners are supposed to write simple sentences in groups.
Materials and resources:
-Flashcards (weather, days).
-Animals flashcards (To support any stage if necessary.)
-Computer: To watch the video.
-Projector: To project the video.
-Flashcards: (Actions)
-Copies (To complete during the presentation and practice periods.)
Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home:
The computer and the projector are going to be used along the
presentation period with the purpose to help children improve listening
skills.
Seating arrangement:
Students will sit as usual almost the whole class. However, they´ll
make small circles to work in groups during the practice period.
Assessment: what will be assessed and how:
Comentado [CC1]: Aure,
I´ll follow your advice and I´ll present children just questions
using “can” in the third class.
So, I´ll invite them to make affirmative and negative
sentences in the present class by using written and visual
support.

4. 3
1) I´ll assess children´s previous knowledge of vocabulary by
singing the hello, weather, days and bye songs.
2) I´ll assess learners´ previous knowledge of animals and actions
by inviting them to answer oral questions the warm-up and
presentation periods.
3) I´ll check learners´ comprehension and identification of the new
vocabulary by asking them to match the animals with their
names during the presentation period.
4) I´ll assess children´s writing skills through the development of
exercises provided in the practice period. I´ll support children´s
writing by providing them examples on the board.
Potential problems students may have with the language:
-In case children don´t understand some lexis or instructions, I will
use pictures, gestures, miming and pointing to aid comprehension.
-Perhaps, children find it hard to understand what they hear in the
video. So, I´ll repeat them what Ani says by modulating the words
and speaking more slowly.
- If children don´t understand how to write the sentences in the
practice period, I´ll provide them examples on the board and use
pictures.
- I´ll change the activities, if children´s lack of understanding causes
their misbehavior.
Routine: (5´)
If necessary, I´ll sing the Mr. Owl song to ask children for silence to start the
class.
Lyrics: “Mr. Owl song”
Mr. Owl, Mr. Owl says sh, says sh.
Everybody silence, everybody silence like Mr. Owl who says
sh, who says sh, who says shhh.
Next, I´ll start singing the “Hello song” to greet them.

Ch: “Hello teacher, hello teacher.
How are you? How are you?
How are you today? How are you today?”
T: “I´m fine, thanks. I´m fine, thanks.”
(Waving my hands and pointing to different children).
Then, I´ll point to the window and start
singing the weather song.
Lyrics: “What´s the weather like
today? Like today, like today, like today?
What´s the weather like today? What´s

Then, I´ll show them flashcards and ask:

Transition: Very good children! Now, let´s revise the actions.
Warm- up: (10´)
A) I´ll paste on the board the pictures of the actions introduced the class
before and their corresponding names disorganized bellow the pictures. Then,
I´ll invite some children to come up to the board and put each word bellow

bellow.) Is it ok? (I´ll mime the words in case children don´t remember
them.)

Ch: “Yes.”
T: “Yes, it´s perfect!”
I´ll ask other children to come up to the board and put the pictures with the
corresponding words.
B) After that, I´ll write questions on the board with some missing words, like:
-Can a cow……?
-Can a dog……?
-Can a duck….?
Then, I´ll invite some children to apporach approach to the board and
complete with a word. (I´ll paste animals and actions flashcards on the board
with the purpose to let children copy the words if necessary.)
When they finish completing the questions I´ll read questions and ask
children to answer them.
T: “Ok, let´s use one action to complete que questions.” (I´ll point to the
words pasted on the board.)
T: “Jime, come! Complete the first sentence, please.”
(I´ll ask dfferent children to complete the sentences.)

Ch: “No.”
T: “Very good! Reapeat: No, it can´t.”
Ch: “No it can´t.”
I´ll read all the questions and encourage children to provide me a complete
answer.

Comentado [A2]: If you have already exposed them to the
interrogative form, you should pose questions using the
target structure (orally).

Then, I´ll show children a photo of Anahí. I´ll tell them that Ani is from
England.

read the names of the animals after each bird appears in the videos.)
Swan Goose Mallard
Also, I´ll ask them questions such as:
-What color is the swan?
-How many swans can you see?
-Can a mallard fly?
T: “Listen and watch. Pay attention to the names of the birds.”
T: “Now, match the picture with the correct name.” (I´ll stop the video and
read the three names while I point to the bird that appears in the video. If
necessary I´ll play the video again.)
Transition: T: “Do you like Ani´s videos?” (I´ll point to the videos and I´ll
show them my thumb up in order to help them understand me.)

swan can/can´t do. (I´ll point to the birds and the actions flashcards.
If necessary I´ll demonstrate them what to do.)
b) I´ll invite children to prepare posters about the birds they watched in
the videos by taking the information from the table they completed
before. I´ll give each group one picture of the birds and ask them to
paste it. Then, they have to write sentences telling what this animal
can/can´t do. (I´ll guide them to take the information from the
exercise above.)
I´ll walk around the class to monitor how children are working and
provide them help if necessary.
T: “Take these pictures and paste them.”
T: “Now, look at the chart and write what the animal can and can´t do.
(I´ll demonstrate them on the board what they have to do by using a
picture and writing an affirmative and a negative sentences.)

Comentado [A4]: What if they don´t remember? Will you
show the videos again?
