Class description:
There are twenty-five students in this group between 10 and 11 years-old. They have
English classes twice a week, for 40 minutes on Wednesdays and 35 minutes on Fridays.
They have started studying English in 5th year. They come to classes after the break both
times, usually with lots of energy but when they are assigned tasks they calm down and
work effectively.
Main aim:
By the end of the lesson the students will be able to continue talking about their personal
information and ask and answer wh-questions.
Subsidiary aim:
1. Revise the verb “to be” as well as the verbs in the present simple form.
2. Revise some vocabulary.
3. Revise the grammatical form of wh-questions.
4. Activate and reinforce previous knowledge.
Personal aims:
I will do my best to work on my voice quality in order to make myself audible and
meaningful. I also expect to create a bond with the students.
Timetable fit:
In the last lesson, the students have continued working with their partners’ and their own
personal information, making use of grammatical structures they are already familiar with
by now (the verb “to be” along with some verbs in the present simple form).
Materials:
1. Board and board markers and chalk.

Anticipated problems:
1. If some students do not come to the lesson, there will be an odd number for the
“wheel”.
2. A noisy environment which may make this difficult for us to be listened to.
3. Time may not sufficient for correction.
4. Possible solutions:
1. My partner will take part in the “wheel” if necessary.
2. I will do my best to speak louder and clearer.
3. My partner and me will be on the alert so as to encourage them to work and finish
on time.
