encouraged to speak English in a natural way but it is integrated with a PPP APPROACH because students learn the topics in
a coherent context.

Computer- projector- speakers- copies
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class:
I will use the projector to show them the pictures.
 Seating arrangement:
Students will sit on their chairs, they will stand up to greet as every class and when they need to come to the
desk to ask something or to complete some exercise on the board.

2.  Cooperative work
They work in a cooperative way when they work in pairs.

Rodrigo Bueno was born in Córdoba in 1973. His nickname was El Potro.
He was one of the most influential cuarteto singers in those years. He was a famous and popular singer.
Many people consider him the best singer in our country together with Gilda, but she was a cumbia singer.
His friend La Mona Jimenez helped him to begin singing.
At first his hair was long and black but in his last years it was short and colourful. His wife was Patricia
and his sons were Ramiro and Alejandro.
In 2000 he was thirteen times with his concert in The Luna Park. His famous songs were “Lo mejor del
amor” and “La mano de Dios”.
He died in 2000 when he was twenty seven years old in a car accident

Observations You can go further.
What about playing some music so that students identify the singers?
Try to promote language awareness, instead of providing the rules.
Do check students´ language level. I would say they belong to elementary level if they
must learn the past form of the verb to be.
