This document summarizes a lesson plan for an English class taught to 6-year-old students. The lesson focuses on introducing the story of Beauty and the Beast through various activities including: listening to the teacher read the story while pointing to pictures, acting out parts of the story by mimicking characters, and ordering pictures from the story to retell it. The plan aims to develop students' English listening comprehension and vocabulary related to food items through interactive activities incorporating movement, music, and creativity.

Fecha:18/10/18
Hora: 11: 25 hs.
Duración de la clase:35 minutos.
Fecha de entrega de la planificación:15/10/18
Learning aims:
During this lesson, learners will be able to:
• Follow a simple story in English.
• Answer questions related to the story.
• Express the Beast’s food preferences by answering questions
about the characters’ likes and dislikes.
• Order the events in the story using the six pictures of the
sequence of the story.

Learning focus:
Listen to a story in English and answer questions about the
story: Does the Beast like cheese/chicken?
Students will be introduced to two new items of food:
chicken and cheese.
Revision of feelings: happy and sad,
Revision and consolidation of some of the vocabulary
presented in classes N° 1, 2 and 3 related to food and drinks:,
juice,milk, apple, banana, etc.

2. 2
Children will make meaning of thenew vocabulary and new
language structures by listening to a story that includes using
popular Disney characters. Children will be able to understand the
story by making connections between the pictures and the script.
Besides, gestures, different voices and facial expressions will
scaffold pupils’ understanding. Stories, indeed, aim at fostering
children’screative and imaginative skills and enrich their learning
experience.
Integration of skills:
Linguistic skillssuch as listening and speaking as well the
development of creativity through a short story,big story’s
flashcards, songs, pretend-play and multimodal modes of
expressions such as miming, responding to questions about the
story, and listening to a story which focuses on likes and dislikes.
Besides, logical mathematical skills will be developed by ordering
the story.
The linguistic skills will be embedded within the three pillars of the
‘imaginative approach’: play, creativity and multimodality.
Multiple intelligences:
1) Musical-rhythmic by listening to songs and singing along.
2) Verbal-linguistic by following a story in Englishand revise food
vocabulary learnt in the previous lessons.
3) Bodily-kinaesthetic by miming Belle and the Beast.
4) Interpersonal by interacting in pretend-play with their peers
and sharing a story.
5) Intrapersonal by sharing their feelings andchoosing a
character they wish to be
6) Logical-mathematical by ordering a story.

reason we must structure well staged lessons with different
activities and stick to them every lesson. In this way, kids
feel secure knowing how the class will develop every time.
Besides, we will make transition comment to link the
activities.
III. Organization habits: We can try singing a short song asking
for silence or we can also ask them to pay attention
because we really need their help to solve a problem.
Another essential organization habit is related to ‘following
instructions’. For that reason, we have to use very clear
and short instructions for each activity. By promoting
organizational skills we are helping children to develop
their autonomy. Another simple but helpful strategies
could be:
● Call their attention: the puppet can be used to ask
children to do the activities.
● Invite them to sit down: sometimes we can sing a short
chant ‘Shhh... be quiet, please sit down, please sit
down’.
● Put away things:for this, teacher can rap or chant ‘Put
everything away, put everything away, quick, quick,
quick please!’ while putting teacher’s own stuff away
(tidiness habits).
● Misbehaviour issues: talk to children in a corner of the
classroom asking them in a low voice to calm down
and try to enjoy the class showing him/her as much as
empathy and affection as possible.
Assessment: collecting information and reporting your
findings
Observation of the class dynamics and interaction between
students and myself.
Record an audio recording on my mobile phone right after
leaving the school explaining which tasks children enjoyed
the most and which they find difficult or boring.
Upload in my Practicum Journal my reflections about my third
lesson.
Share experiences with my cyber classmates about
ourexperiences.
Write down commentaries about individual students who

experienced some cognitive difficulties understanding the
tasks or those who misbehave during the class.
LESSON STAGES:

Purpose:to begin the class with a song in order to create a joyful
environment where children feel comfortable and happy. This will
create a positive attitude towards learning a second language.
Timing:2-3 minutes
• Greet children with the ‘Hello Song’ as they come in and
wave your hands as done in the previous lessons.

• Encourage children to move and sing along. Repeat the
song once more time. Stop the music and ask them Sit down
please.

Presentation
Purpose:to introducethe story and characters by asking to predict
what will happen, who the charactersare, what are they are doing

carried out revised at this stage.

Comentario [CZ1]: I strongly
recommend you stick the flashcards
one at a time, as you narrate the story.
Otherwise, children may get distracted
looking at the rest of the images and
may not pay attention to what you are
telling them.
Comentario [CZ2]: I don’t understand
this idea.
Comentario [CZ3]: I would omit this
stage.
Comentario [CZ4]: As I said before, I
recommend that first you show the
images one by one while you narrate,
and then, you may stick all of them on
the board.

ACTIVITY 2: ACT OUT: MIME THE STORYACT OUT: MIME THE STORYACT OUT: MIME THE STORYACT OUT: MIME THE STORY
Purpose:to foster imagination by asking children to imitate the
characters freely. This kind of activities, linked to drama and

well as taking into account the need of VYL to move while they
are leaning.
Timing:5-7 minutes.
• Divide the class into two groups Belle and the Beast.
• Read the story again and encourage children to mime
his/her character while you say the lines.
• Make a pause after picture 2 and prompt children to say
his/her line. Encourage children to say the lines.

ACTIVITY 3: ORDER THE STORYORDER THE STORYORDER THE STORYORDER THE STORY& MINI BOOK& MINI BOOK& MINI BOOK& MINI BOOK
Purpose:to order the story by using a solve-problem task. Besides,
the aim of this activity is for the teacher to make a mini book for the
last class as a kind of present for children. I will use a colour cover
and a picture of each child as the first page of the minibook. This
mini project will be done collaboratively with the ICT assistant. He
will be in charge of taking the photos. Everything will be arranged
in advance with the Head teacher.
Timing:8-10 minutes
• Ask children to order the story in their tables. Each figure will
have their names to avoid fighting for the figures.
• Go around the class checking if children can remember the
story. Help when necessary.
• Finally, putthe story in order on the whiteboard so that all
children can compare their task and feel they have
accomplished it.
• Ask children to give you the figures in an envelope with each
child’s name you will hand in at the moment.
Transition comment:Say children that it’s time to say goodbye until
next week.
Closure
Purpose:to say goodbye in a cheerful way so that children leave
the classroom happily.
Timing:2 minutes.
• Say it’s time to say good-bye and play the ‘Goodbye
Song’while children pack their bags to have lunch at the
school.
