exchanges to elaborate a written project.
• Materials and resources: Computer, projector, a PowerPoint presentation, a set of worksheets
with the lesson's activities per student, printed chart templates, poster papers, markers.
• Pedagogical use of ICT in class: A PowerPoint presentation will provide the context for the
lesson’s teaching points at the presentation stage.
3. • Seating arrangement: Students will be sitting facing the board. At different points during the
lesson, they will be required to work in groups and to move their tables closer together to facilitate
communication and cooperation.
• Cooperative work: As a class, students will work individually and interact with the teacher. When
working in groups students will interact with one another other and with the teacher as well.
• Assessment: I will be constantly monitoring and evaluating students ‘performance and progress.
Learners’ comprehension will be assessed considering their learning styles, personalities and
personal abilities.

SA: ‘Hello! We are fine, and you?’ TA: ‘I’m fine and happy to see you again!

children.

statements’ meaning.
Then, T asks students to raise their hands and to take turns to share their answers.

T: ‘Why?’
SA: ‘There are different types of families’
T: ‘That’s right! ‘
Then, while showing students the first two slides T tells students:
‘Yes!, there are different types of families! As you can see in the pictures families are very diverse,
there are a lot of different types of families and family units’.
5. Subsequently, T tells students: ‘Let’s find out about some family types we may be very familiar with!’
As T goes through the slides, she highlights the pronunciation of each family type and also the new
family members asking students to repeat after her.
