This lesson plan is for a 40-minute class with 3 students ages 4-5 at a rural school in Argentina. The lesson focuses on farm animals and will consolidate vocabulary through a video, drawing activity where students color a barn and find hidden animals, and a playdough activity. Students will develop listening, speaking, fine motor and visual skills. The plan outlines learning objectives, activities with instructions, materials, scaffolding, assessment, and a closing routine. An expert provided feedback praising the multimodal approach but suggested improving vocabulary instruction and student participation.

Development of the sequence of activities
First activity:
 Purpose:
- To work on visual and listening skills and to consolidate knowledge
about farm animals.

 Activity description and instructions as they will be said to student
(include direct speech):
- Explain to them “we are going to watch a video about farm animals”;
- Invite them to sit down in front on the notebook;

Comentado [CZ6]: Why don’t you help them activate previous
knowledge? They might anticipate what animals they think will
appear on the video.
