song’ from a cd.

 Seating arrangement: 

The students will sit on their desks, which are placed in four groups, facing
each other. This is how they usually sit, so I will respect this as they are organized
and ready to work. Besides, they can see each other and work in groups if necessary.
 Assessment: what will be assessed and how: I will assess the way
students understand and use the new vocabulary and structures
throughout the lesson. I will assure they get sufficient input so that they
can develop their listening and speaking skills as they elicit the new
vocabulary through context.
Stages in the lesson
Routine 5’

3. Purpose:to start the lessonby greeting the students and introducing
ourselves.
I will start the lesson by saying: ‘Hello, my friends! How are you? Fine?’ and
I will put my thumbs up showing a positive gesture. Then, I will say: ‘Here is
a new song to say hello.’ I will give each student a photocopy. ‘Let’s sing our
Hello song.’ This song will be sung every day when we enter into the
classroom. First I am going to sing it alone so that they can know how it goes.
Then, we will sing it together with the cd.
HELLO, SUNSHINE!
HELLO!
HELLO, SUNSHINE!
HELLO!
HELLO, MYFRIENDS!
HELLO!
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
(Retrieved from Go! 1. Tinta Fresca Editorial. Track 2)
‘Let’s sit down. Sit down, please.’ (Indicating with my hands and arms)
‘My name is Erica’ What’s your name?’ I will ask each student’s name.
Warm-up 10’
Purpose:to introduce the topics and the teaching points
During these lessons we will work with different famous families, so that
students can associate the vocabulary with well-known characters.
I will point to two flashcards that I’ve previously stuck on the board. ‘Look!
What is it?’ I will wait for students to answer. Then I will clarify: ‘It is a
family’. I will point at the other picture. ‘Is it a family?’ Students will answer
and I will remark: ‘Yes, it is’.
Pointing at each of the families, I will ask: ‘Is it a big family or a small

4. family?’ When naming the adjectives, I will move my arms showing the size
so that they can recognize them in case they do not remember them.
‘Who are they? Do you know them? They are the 101 Dalmatians, and this is
the Lion king’s family.’
Then, I will show a picture of the famous cartoon family, The Simpsons.
‘Who are they?’ Good!Is it a big family or a small family?’
Presentation 10’:
Purpose: to further expose the learners to the target language.
I will stick the pictures of the five main characters of this cartoon (the mother, the
father, the brother and the two sisters), forming the family tree. I will ask: ‘Do you
know them?’
At this time, I will just check if they know the characters. We will work on the
possessive adjectives in the following lessons.
Pointing to each of them, I will introduce the family vocabulary, while sticking
labels under the pictures.
‘This is the father, Homer’
‘This is the mother, Marge.’
‘This is the brother, Bart.’
‘This is the sister, Lisa.’
‘This is the baby sister, Maggie.’
Development 15’:
Purpose: to foster comprehension by identifying family memebers and sizes
I will hand in a photocopy with the same family tree in a photocopy with some
boxes for them to complete with the new vocabulary. Then, we will check the
exercise together and I will ask them to write the tittle ‘The Simpsons family’ and
glue the photocopy.

check it together and glue the activity on their folder.
Practice 10’:
Purpose: to revise the vocabulary by recognizing characters
I will lift the photocopy with the different families and I will ask them to point at a
mother, then a father, a brother and a sister. Then I will ask them to colour:
‘Colour the father green.’
‘Colour the mother red.’
‘Colour the brother blue.’
‘Colour the sister orange.’
Closure 5’:
Purpose: to explain the homework
Homework:
