Alumna residente: Paula Ezpeleta
Institución Educativa: Escuela Primaria N° 35
Dirección: Km 803, RN3 –Pedro Luro-
Cantidad de alumnos: 17
Edad: 6 años
Unidad Temática: ‘My Lunch Box’
Clase Nº: 3
Fecha: 11/10/18
Hora: 11: 25 hs.
Duración de la clase: 35 minutos.
Fecha de entrega de la planificación: 09/10/18
Learning aims:
During this lesson, learners will be able to:
• Identify foods: What’s this? A sandwich through the puppet
interacting with flashcards.
• Express preferences: I like bananas? Do you like bananas?
Yes through puppet questions and a worksheet activity.
• Respond to commands through the ‘Feed the Monster’
activity
• Revise the food vocabulary through the ‘Feed the Monster’
activity and the thematic song of the unit.
Learning focus:
Students will be introduced to likes and dislikes.
Revision and consolidation of the vocabulary presented in
classes N° 1 and 2 related to food and drinks: sandwich,
yogurt, biscuits, water, juice, apple, banana, orange and
lunch box.
Children will make meaning of the vocabulary and new language
structures by play-based activities and multimodal tasks such as
interacting with a puppet and feeding a monster. Furthermore,

children will match their preferences using a worksheet. Finally,
learners will sing a song to revise the vocabulary and enjoy
themselves. All activities aim at fostering children’s creative and
imaginative skills and enrich their learning experience.
Integration of skills:
Linguistic skills such as listening and speaking as well the
development of creativity through play, songs, puppets and
multimodal modes of expressions such as singing, responding to
commands and moving to feed a monster and listening to a
puppet telling them about his likes and dislikes. Children will also
develop fine motor skills by circling some the food items they like in
a worksheet.
The linguistic skills will be embedded within the three pillars of the
‘imaginative approach’: play, creativity and multimodality.
Multiple intelligences:
1) Musical-rhythmic by listening to songs and singing along.
2) Verbal-linguistic by learning and using the new vocabulary
and recycled language to identify foods and drinks and express
preferences.
3) Bodily-kinaesthetic by feeding a monster and dancing songs.
4) Interpersonal by learning different food preferences about
their peers and interacting with the puppet.
5) Intrapersonal by expressing their food preferences.
Materials and resources:
• Netbook.
• Speaker.
• Songs. *See lyrics and sources in the development of
activities.
• Monkey puppet introduced in Class 1.

Timing. Learners spend much time with each activity
due to their age in general and misbehavior in some
particular cases.
Technological issues. There is an ICT assistant who may
deal with these problems in case it is necessary.
Classroom management strategies (adapted from the
Lesson Planning Diagnoses)
I. Building confidence: As we are dealing with VYL we must
create a safe and friendly classroom environment so that
children feel confident to take part in the different
activities and games proposed. It is vital that children feel
secure and emotionally supported by adults to participate
and minimize misbehaviour. We must be aware of their
feelings such as embarrassment or unwillingness to
participate and respect their times and choices.
II. Following routines: As we have studied in the literature, it is
of utmost importance for children to follow routines. For this
reason we must structure well staged lessons with different
activities and stick to them every lesson. In this way, kids
feel secure knowing how the class will develop every time.
Besides, we will make transition comment to link the
activities.
III. Organization habits: We can try singing a short song asking
for silence or we can also ask them to pay attention
because we really need their help to solve a problem.
Another essential organization habit is related to ‘following
instructions’. For that reason, we have to use very clear
and short instructions for each activity. By promoting
organizational skills we are helping children to develop
their autonomy. Another simple but helpful strategies
could be:
● Misbehaviour: talk to children in a corner of the
classroom asking them in a low voice to calm down
and try to enjoy the class showing him/her as much as
empathy and affection as possible.
8. 8
● Call their attention: the puppet can be used to ask
children to do the activities.
● Invite them to sit down: sometimes we can sing a short
chant ‘Shhh... be quiet, please sit down, please sit
down’.
● Put away things: for this, teacher can rap or chant ‘Put
everything away, put everything away, quick, quick,
quick please!’ while putting teacher own stuff away
(tidiness habits).
Assessment: collecting information and reporting your
findings
Observation of the class dynamics and interaction between
students and myself.
Record an audio recording on my mobile phone right after
leaving the school explaining which tasks children enjoyed
the most and which they find difficult or boring.
Upload in my Practicum Journal my reflections about my third
lesson.
Share experiences with my cyber classmates about our
experiences.
Write down commentaries about individual students who
experienced some cognitive difficulties understanding the
tasks or those who misbehave during the class.
LESSON STAGES:

Lead-in
Purpose: to begin the class with a song in order to create a joyful
environment where children feel comfortable and happy. This will
create a positive attitude towards learning a second language.
NOTE: I HAVE INCLUDED THE SCAFFOLDING STRATEGIES WITHIN
THE INSTRUCTIONS ACTIVITIES AS WE DID IN THE DIAGNOSES
SINCE I FIND IT SIMPLER AND IT ALLOWS ME TO FOCUS ON EACH
SCAFFOLDING STRATEGY FOR EACH STAGE OF THE ACTIVITIES.
9. 9
Timing: 2-3 minutes
• Greet children with the ‘Hello Song’ as they come in and
wave your hands as done in the previous lessons.
Lyrics: Song length 33 seconds.
Source: ‘Storyline Starter A’. Pearson Education. Second
Edition, 2015.
• Encourage children to move and sing along. Repeat the
song once more time. Stop the music and ask them Sit down
please.
• Say Hello children! and ask them How are you? Say I’m very
happy to be with you again (while pointing to your smile and
then, to the children).
Transition comment: say We have a visit today! Monkey missed you
very much and wanted to be with you again. But you have to
behave well!
Presentation
Purpose: to introduce likes and dislikes using the Monkey puppet
children already know and love to contextualize the new structures
and revise the food and drinks vocabulary.
Timing: 6 minutes.
MONMONMONMONKEY &KEY &KEY &KEY & FLASHCARDS:FLASHCARDS:FLASHCARDS:FLASHCARDS: I LIKEI LIKEI LIKEI LIKE BANANABANANABANANABANANA!!!!
• Tell kids that Monkey want to tell them about what food he
likes and what he doesn’t like.
HELLO BOYS!
HELLO GIRLS!
HELLO CLASS!
HELLO TO YOU!
HELLO TO YOU!
10. 10
• First, using the puppet, hold up some flashcards and ask
children What’s this? A banana/ A carrot/ Milk. Mouth the
word if they do not remember. Say Look at my mouth!
• Show the sandwich flashcard and using Monkey say I like
banana! Make a yummy face and say Mmmm…yummy! Do
the same with the sandwich flashcard. Then, show the carrot
flashcard and using the puppet say I don’t like carrot! Make a
yuk face and say Yuk! Do the same with the tomato
flashcard.
• Finally, monkey asks children Do you like sandwich? Yes while
the teacher makes a yummy face and Monkey says Yummy I
like sandwich. Touch your belly to reinforce children’s
understanding and hold your thumb up. Do you like tomato?
while teacher makes a yuk face and Monkey says Yuk I don’t
like tomato. Hold your thumb down.
Transition comment: say Monkey wants to know what food do you
like and he will hand your books.
Development of the sequence of activities
ACTIVITY 1: WORKSHEETWORKSHEETWORKSHEETWORKSHEET: LOOK AND MATCH: LOOK AND MATCH: LOOK AND MATCH: LOOK AND MATCH
Purpose: to express personal preferences about food and drinks by
developing fine-motor skills,
Timing: 8 minutes.
• Show page 39 of the Activity Book and ask children to open
their books at that page.
• Stick the worksheet on the whiteboard to guide children and
minimize time as children tend to stand and ask what they
have to do many times.
• Name the food items on the page and ask students to point
to them Point to the lunchbox, apple, milk, etc.
• Say You need a pencil (red, blue or green), Ready? Yes.
• Tell the children to circle the foods they like Do you like
biscuits? Yes. Circle the biscuits.

Comentario [CZ10]: Remember to
demonstrate, and check understanding
of istruccions.
11. 11
• Tell the class Draw a line from the food and drinks to the
lunchbox by circling one or two items on the sheet stuck on
the board. Demonstrating is an effective scaffolding strategy
for worksheet activities.
Transition comment: tell children that Monkey has brought a
present for each one of them to play a game
ACTIVITY 2: GAME WITH STICK EMOJISGAME WITH STICK EMOJISGAME WITH STICK EMOJISGAME WITH STICK EMOJIS
Purpose: to express personal preferences about food and drinks by
interacting with stick emojis.
Timing: 5-7 minutes.
• Distribute one pair of emojis per child.
• Hold up a flashcard and tell the class I like apples! Hold up
your like emoji.
• Ask children Do you like biscuits? by showing the flashcard
and tell them to hold up their like or dislike emojis to respond.
Repeat the same procedure with sandwich, milk, orange,
tomato and spinach.
Transition comment: well, today Monkey has come with one of his
friends called Franky the monster, though Monkey is a bit scary of
Franky.
ACTIVITY 3: ‘FEED THE HUNGRY MONSTER’‘FEED THE HUNGRY MONSTER’‘FEED THE HUNGRY MONSTER’‘FEED THE HUNGRY MONSTER’
Purpose: to respond to commands by feeding the monster and
revise the thematic vocabulary while having fun. This activity is
introduced at the end to avoid children getting overexcited during
the whole class. They will be free to stand up and move to do the
activity.
Timing: 8 minutes
• Show the monster and move around the class greeting
children using a monster-like voice. Say I’m hungry and I’m
angry, I want food children, I like all foods and drinks. Make
gestures and facial expressions of feeling angry and hungry.
• Stick the monster and say Children you have to feed the
monster. Mime eating.
• Explain in L1 that you will call children to come forward
calmly in groups (there are 4 groups) to feed Franky. Say
Comentario [CZ11]: 😊
12. 12
Quickly, Franky is hungry and angry please!
• Show children the monster’s menu. It will be sticky cut-outs
placed on the lunchbox.
• Give commands to each child imitating the monster voice
Santino give me a sandwich, Amanda give me milk, Eluney
give me a carrot, NOW!!! GRRRR!!!
Transition comment: tell children that they will sing the song
previously introduced in class 2 imitating the monster’s voice.
(EXTRA) ACTIVITY 4: SONG: ‘WE’LL BE EATINGSONG: ‘WE’LL BE EATINGSONG: ‘WE’LL BE EATINGSONG: ‘WE’LL BE EATING

rhythmic they reinforce the intake of vocabulary and language
structures in a fun and motivating way.
Timing: 2 minutes
• Play the song and ask students to sing along imitating Franky
the monster.
• Repeat the song one more time and praise children.
Lyrics: song length 1minute 43 seconds.
