English.
Classroom management strategies:
5. 5
In case there are students who are not paying attention, I will approach to them
and kindly suggest trying to go back to work.
Fast finishers generally draw something because they are bored; if this is the
case I will tell that student to help me with other students.
If there are students who are reluctant to participate in class, I will approach to
him/her try to encourage participating by asking him/her myself a question.
(There are very shy students).
In cases if misbehavior, I will ask kindly to please go back to work and do not
do it again. If this continues I will stop the class and explain the importance of
working and behaving properly in L1.
Potential problems students may have with the language: As it is mainly a
vocabulary presentation with flashcards and practice lesson, I think there will be no
problems. Nonetheless, a possible one would be distraction. In such a case, I will
clap my hands so as to call their attention, as their teacher is used to apply that
method and it works perfectly because students are accustomed. So, in case Ss
don’t listen to me, I will change my voice tone and I will tell: "Are you listening? Are
you listening? Everyone! Everyone! If you are listening, if you are listening, look at
me, look at me."
Assessment: What will be assessed and how. Understanding of the new items will be
assessed by my asking questions individually, for example new items will be assessed by
asking: what is it wearing ……? Observing students development during the different
instances of the class. Comprehension of the new items will be assessed through the
correction of the written activities and homework. There will be oral sentences to complete
so that I get to know if SS understand the use of the structure for communicative
purposes and if they remember the new items
WARM UP:

Purpose: To start the lesson, to get students into the mood for work, to establish rapport.

Dear Ma. Inés
Lesson plans do not have a second submission, but I understand that in this case you
made mistakes because you were under pressure (because of the events that took place
in your family).
Remember that you are doing academic work in this course, and as such, you must
proofread your work before submission.
Please, introduce the changes requested (activity 1 and transition between topics) below
and resubmit this plan as it is.
Thanks!

Pedagogical use of the ICT inn class or at home: (no use)
Seating arrangement: the whole class facing the board. In groups
Possible problems /difficulties and their solutions during the class: Generally
students produce a lot in L2; consequently L1 is not widely use. Nonetheless if there is
still a S or Ss who might ask something in Spanish I will encourage him/her to say it in
English by means of my saying it in English and inviting the SS to say it again.
Classroom management strategies:
In case there are students who are not paying attention, I will approach them and kindly
suggest trying to go back to work.
Fast finishers generally draw something because they are bored; if this is the case I will tell
that student to help me with other students.
If there are students who are reluctant to participate in class, I will approach to him/her try

In cases of misbehavior, I will ask kindly to please go back to work and do not do it again.
If this continues I will stop the class and explain the importance of working and behaving
properly in L1.
Potential problems students may have with the language: This is going to be a final
class, in which SS are expected to participate cheerfully in the activities because they
already know most of the vocabulary presented and the contexts which they are working
in. Nonetheless, a possible one would be distraction. In such a case, I will clap my hands
so as to call their attention, as their teacher is used to apply that method and it works
perfectly because students are accustomed. So, in case Ss don’t listen to me, I will change
my voice tone and I will tell: "Are you listening? Are you listening? Everyone! Everyone! If
you are listening, if you are listening, look at me, look at me."
Assessment: What will be assessed and how. As this is a final class and I will not have
the possibility of meeting them again, that is why there is no homework.
The assessment will be mainly observation of their progress and development during the
different instances of the class. Comprehension of the already known items will be
assessed through oral correction of the produced sentences and dialogues.

Purpose: To revise the food and drink and the clothes vocabulary items taught in previous
lessons
In order to activate the vocabulary learnt in previous classes, I will ask if they remember
where I went during the holidays. They are supposed to tell me that I went to the zoo. I will
encourage the students to tell me which animals were there at the zoo. I will use the help
of the following image
I will encourage them to tell me the name of the characters and what are they wearing:

wearing a …………………
After we finish analyzing the photograph and in order to revise food and drink vocabulary I
will ask the students what do they think each of the characters like eating:
Transition: What do you think these characters like eating? For example the girl ….
Does she like milk?
I will go on this way o that they activate their previous learnt vocabulary.
Then will tell them that I spoke to the zoo keeper and I asked him what the animals like
eating. Then I will invite them to look at Activity 1 in their worksheets and complete

Activity 2
Timing 10 minutes
Purpose: to revise the food and drink and clothes vocabulary items presented in previous
classes.
I will tell the students that while I was at the zoo, and the zoo keeper was telling me what
the animals liked eating I remembered the song we sang in previous classes. But that I
couldn’t remember that in order of the lines. And that I wrote the lines in my travel book.
Now I have brought the lines here for them to help me to put it in order.
As students have already listened to this song in previous classes they are acquainted
with the rhythm of it. I will play the recording once Then I will make them look at activity 2
in their worksheet. Here the lines of the song are all mixed up. They will have to listen to
the song again and number them in the correct order.
Then they will have to paint the food and drink items mentioned in the song. After that they
will have to write the names of the two drawing which are not mentioned in the song

Transition: Ok! Listen, when I was at the zoo, I remembered the song! Remember? “I, I like
spaghetti …” mmm but I think I can’t remember the correct order. So Look at activity 2
in your worksheet, this is what I wrote there at the zoo, because I did not have the Cd
there. So today I brought the CD here, for you to help me to put the lines in the correct
order. Can you help me?
