Teaching approach: The lesson is based on the Natural Approach, and organized
through the PPP procedure (Harmer, 2010)
Materialsand resources: a puppet,my computer(anotebookwithhighdefinition) to
showa Powerpointpresentation, some clothes (realia), flashcards, pictures made of
cardboard and glue.
Pedagogical use of ICT inclass: In thislesson,aPowerpointpresentation will be used
to introduce the topic and expose students to it. I’ll also play a song for activity one.
Seatingarrangement: Studentswillbe sittingin acircle onthe floor during the warm-

studentswill be sittingontheirchairsandthe rest of them will be sitting on the floor,
so that everyone cansee the slidesonmy computer. Inthe first activity, students will
be sitting on the floor in a circle while in the second activity they will work at their
tables.
3. Cooperative work: inthe firstactivity,studentswill answerquestionsas a group while
in the second activity they will work individually.
Potential problems student may have with the language: students may find it
difficulttoproduce some chunksof language,soI’ll helpthembyrepeatingthe phrase
and encouraging them to produce the chunk. I will also elicit answers. In addition,
students may not understand my instructions so I’ll make gestures and demonstrate
the activities.
Assessment: what will be assessed and how: I’ll ask questions to check if students
can identifysome clothes. (What’sthis/Whatisit?/ What’she wearing?).I’ll encourage
them to produce chunks of language.

In addition, some flashcards about clothes will be stuck on the board, so students can see
them more clearly.

cloudy day?” EA: “It’s a sunny day!” Very good! And Jack is happy because it’s a sunny day.

with some clothes!
Development : 13’
Activity 1: 7’
In this activity, I’ll play some music so that students pass the bag to their mates. When the
music stops, the child who has the bag will take an item of clothing out of the bag. At that
moment,I’ll ask:“What isit?” . If theycan’t answer,I’ll helpthemby eliciting answers: “Is it a
hat?. I will also ask other questions such as: “What color is it?
T: “Now,you Luciohold the bag (giving him the bag). (Meanwhile I’ll play the song) Pass the
bag to Lauti. (After some seconds I’ll stop the song) T: “Now stop, Luna (Gesturing with my
hand to aid comprehension. Take an item of clothing out and show it” (I’ll mime the action)
7. T: “Very good! What is it?”(Asking to all the students) EA: “ t-shirt!” T: “Perfect! It’s a t-shirt”
I’ll continue until the bag is empty.
Transition: “Very good, children!, Now, stand up!. Let’s go to the tables, it’s time to work.!”
Activity 2: 6’
I’ll give each child the following pictures and a set of clothes cut in advance for them to
stick. Some students will have clothes for sunny days, and the rest of the children will
have clothes for cloudy days. Students will work individually.
If students get distracted, I’ll say: “1,2,3, look at me!” Now, this is Sam (for the boys)
and this is Jenny (for the girls). You’ll paste these clothes on them” (pointing to the
pictures).
I’ll hand out the pictures and different clothes so that students start pasting them.
As students work, I’ll ask them some questions such as: “What’s this?” EA: “t-shirt” T:
“Excellent! It’s a t-shirt” (If students present difficulties with vocabulary, I’ll help them
by eliciting answers: “Is it a jacket?)
8. Once students finish pasting the pictures, I’ll tell them: “Show me to Sam and Jenny.
Beautiful! Now, we’ll paste Sam and Jenny on these cardboards. Paste clothes
(showing a picture with summer clothes) for hot days, here (pointing to the cardboard
with a sun). And, paste clothes for cloudy days, here” (Cardboard with a cloud). (I’ll
