Integration of skills: Speaking and listening through oral practice.

Materials and resources: Templates of a zoo made with a box, flashcards with the zoo animlas, notebook, worksheets, video, (match and say),pencils.

Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson, a video will be used to support the presentation and exposure of the students to the teaching point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwRmivbNgQk

Then I will give this link to my students´ families so that they can sing the song together at home and revise what their children did in the classroom.

Seating arrangement: Depending on the activity students will be sitting in pairs or in semi-circle.

Reviewer, 04/27/16,


Cooperative work: learners of this age can play together, but still find it difficult to carry out cooperative or group work activities. This activity will allow students to work together as a whole group (singing, miming).

Possible problems and possible solutions regarding behaviour: Ss may be very excited at the time of miming and dancing the song. If a student gets too excited or misbehaves I will make eye contact with the student, call his/her name and ask him/her to behave so that we can all enjoy the song.

Potential problems students may have with the language: students might have problems in understanding what the teacher is saying, so I will do as much miming, modelling and exemplification as possible.

Assessment: What will be assessed and how: Since Ss this age have very short attention spans, I will pay attention to this and vary the activities as much as necessary.

Routine (3`)

Aim: To create the right learning environment.

I will greet the students, opening an oral exchange as follows:

T: Hello children!

SS: Hello Ms (Johanna)!

T: How are you today?

Ss: Fine, thank you!

I will sing a chant to SAY HELLO and get Ss’ attention (It is the song Constanza sings at the beginning of each lesson)

Hello!

Put your hands up!

Hello hello! Clap your hands!


Warm-up (5’)

Aim: To set the context for the activities.

I will put the zoo box on the desk and then I will call students attention

“Look! I have something amazing to show you! What is it?”

Reviewer, 04/27/16,

You may omit this question, since elicitation during the presentation stage is not advisable / effective.

Reviewer, 04/27/16,

You may use the sandwich technique if all other strategies fail.

Reviewer, 04/27/16,

A chant or short song to settle them is advisable.

Reviewer, 04/27/16,

Which one?

“Look!” I will point to the word zoo that is outside the box to help them “…a…. zoo!”

Un zoológico!

“Yes! Very good! A zoo!”

Transition (2’)

“Mmmmm… let me see” (I will move the box to arise students’ curiosity)

I will spy into the box and make gestures, showing them that I´m surprised.

Then I will say: “can you help me?” “let´s say helloooo to zoo animals!” “once more… hello zoo animals!”

Presentation (10’)

Then I will take the animals´ flashcards one by one.

Wooow! Look! An elephant! I will stick it on the board and ask them to repeat.

What is it? An elephant! Again, can you repeat? An elephant! Excellent!

What colour is it? Blue! Great!

Then I will take the kangaroo, oooh Look! A kangaroo! I will stick it on the board and ask them to repeat.

Reviewer, 04/27/16,

Body language:

What is it? A kangaroo! Again, can you repeat? A kangaroo! Well done!

What colour is it? Brown! Great!

And I will do the same with the rest of the animals (monkey, penguin, snake, polar bear)

Transition

Excellent kids!

Now… let´s go to the zoo!

I have a funny video to show you! Do you want to watch it?

Yes!

Development (15’)

Great! Let´s watch it! (I will sing the song and mime the actions while they watch the video)


“Do you like it?”

“Fantastic!”

“Do you want to sing the song?” yes!

“Great! Let´s make a semi-circle… come here…”

(I will play the video again and we we´ll sing and mime the actions all together)

“Very well done! That was very fun!

Now.,let´s sit down on the desks that we have work to do….”

Activity 1 (5´):

Aim: to practice the new vocabulary.

For this activity I will use pictures from the video. I will stick them on the board saying the verb aloud and miming the action.

“Now look at this picture! Wooow funny!, stomp…stomp, can you repeat?”

“stomp” “great!”

Now… look at this! Jump! Yesss! Jump!

And I will do the same with all the animals and actions.

Aurelia, 04/26/16,

What are the children supposed to do while you say the words, mime and stick the pictures on the board?

Aurelia, 04/26/16,

You should include the lyrics.

Aurelia, 04/26/16,

Will you change the seating arrangement at this stage?Will you ask them to do something while/after watching the video?

Reviewer, 04/27/16,

Is there an OHP available? Will you download the video? Please, describe your lesson plans in detail.


Activity 2 (10´)

Aim: For students to recognize and practice new vocabulary.

Match and say:

I will give them a photocopy where they have to match the animal with the kids that are doing the same action (like in the video). I will leave the pictures from the previous oral activity to guide them.

Cooperative work: This activity will allow students to work together as a whole group or collaborate with each other while working on the worksheet.

Possible problems and possible solutions regarding behaviour: Ss may be very excited at the time of listening to the song. If a student gets too excited or misbehave I will make eye contact with the student, call his/her name and ask him/her to behave so that we can all enjoy the song. I will also use the song “Mr Silence”.

Potential problems students may have with the language: students might have problems in understanding what the teacher is saying, so I will do as much miming, modelling, exemplification as possible. In case all the strategies fail I will use the sandwich technique.

Students might have problem pronouncing some number, so I will say them aloud and ask them to repeat.
