Worksheet
Pedagogical use of ICT: use of the Hello and Goodbye songs (see materials)
Seating arrangement:
During the routine stage students will make a circle.
During the presentation , controlled practice and closure stages Students will be sat at
their tables. We are going to join the tables and then it will be a big table with all the
students around it. Teacher will be sat on chair conducting the activity.
Cooperative work: Children will work as a class
Possible problems and possible solutions regarding behaviour: Ss may get very
excited at the sight of the puppet. It is possible that some of them want to touch it and
stand up in order to do so, disrupting the class.
One way to avoid this from happening could be to have the puppet greeting each and
every child individually, and letting Ss know that they all will be able to see the puppet at a
closer distance. What is more, they (Ss) even can talk to him!

4. Potential problems students may have with the language: Students this age
(especially as they have not had any contact with the language before) may experience a
silent period. Therefore, chances are that they refuse to answer to either the Teacher or
the puppet’s questions in English, and prefer doing it in their L1 or simply using their body
language.
T will take that as a signal of comprehension and keep on trying to communicate in the
target language. That is to say, it is ok for children to draw to their mother tongue to
achieve communication, but the teacher should keep on using the target language.
Assessment: What will be assessed and how: I will monitor that Ss enjoy this class.
Routine (5’)
Aim: To get Student’s s’ attention and arrange them to start the lesson. To establish
rapport.
T will enter the room and greet the Ss with a warm “Hello!”
I will ask the children to sit at their tables joining them. I will speak in English, but I will use
my body language and mime to try to arrange them. The last resource I will use is L 1
Transition: Teacher: Hello, children!
Ss (EA): Hola /hello/ (silence)
T: How are you today? Fine?
(T puts her two thumbs up and shows a smile)
Ss (EA): is/fine/ thumbs up/ a smile.
T: That’s great!
(Smiling)
Teacher: Let’s sing the Hello song! Up! Here in the centre
Song: Now it’ time to say hello, say hello, say hello
Now it’s time to say hello , hello everyone.

5. Transition: la la la lala , lala la sh shs sh shs sh sh. Let’s sit…
(to make students to make silence they are used to be said a song like this:
Lalalalala, lalala, sh shs shs sh shs sh sh .con la musica de tapa tapita .. tapòn)

I will show them to the students . I will say : “It is ….” (the students are supposed to
say the colours) then the first student who guesses the colour I will give the balloon as
a present. I will repeat the procedure with several balloons …
(once I notice the students are bored or there are the same students who participate, I
will stop the activity and give the remaining balloons to the students … as I give the
balloon to him / her I will try to elicit the colour by saying … “It’s …”
