• Teaching approach: I’ll use the Communicative Approach
• Materials and resources: • Farm animals flashcards, cd player, audio
material (songs and chants), paper bags, animal templates (copies in the
appendix section), glue, watercolour paint, brushes.
• Seating arrangement: Children will be standing to sing the song and sitting
on their chairs at their tables for the game.
• Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the
class: Children may have forgotten the vocabulary and get bored easily,
leading to disruptive behaviour. Using chants, I´ll re-focus students ´attention by
singing “head and shoulders” song
• Potential problems students may have with the language: Children may
lose interest on the lesson. I will help them re-focus by making them participate
or by asking them to help me explain/ model as my secretary.
• Assessment: I´ll check students’ comprehension through their participation. If
I notice they do not understand, I´ll mime, model the language or ask a partner
to model the activity.
• Use of ICT: there is no possibility of using ICT due to school resources. The
only possibility is the use of the cd player.
• Integrating skills: Students will integrate skills through the different tasks,
such as listening to the song and then working the content orally. Speaking will
be foster in the presentation skills leading to listening and doing.
Routine: 5’
I’ll get into the classroom and greet students:
“Hello!, how are you today?” “Let´s sing the Hello song”. As the students know
the song, they will listen, sing, mime and dance. I will play the cd:
Hello, hello, good morning
How are you today?
Hello, hello, good morning
How are you today?

3. I am fine, I am fine
I´m very well today
