• Teaching approach: I’ll use the Communicative Approach through activities that have a communicative outcome.

• Materials and resources: weather pictures, flashcards: “What day is it today? August...”, number flashcard, food pyramid poster, laptop, song downloaded fromhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmzJfTlA8nU, worksheet

• Seating arrangement: Children will be sitting at their desks during the lesson in their regular seating arrangements, but they will stand up during the listening section to move around. They will sit in groups during the closing section to work upon their posters.

• Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: Children lose their spam of attention quickly and become naughty. I´ll approach each distractive student and ask him/her if she/he has problems or doubts, because, sometimes, they misbehave as they do not understand or do not know what to do.

• Potential problems students may have with the language: Children may complain about the class being conducted in English, but, as I will model and/ or mime and/or demonstrate the vocabulary and/or the activities, they will gradually get used to listening to English. Anyway, I will approach those students who still feel uncomfortable with working with the language and help them in the process.

• 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 or the class to model the activity.

Routine: 10’

I’ll get into the classroom and greet students:

“Hello!, how are you today?”

I will write the following phrase on the board:

What day is it today?

Teacher:“What date is it today?” “Is it August?” and I will show them the word written on a cardboard.

Students: “yes”

I will stick it on the board.

Teacher: “Is it 10th?” ( and I show them the number on a small flashcard)

Students: “no”

Teacher: “Is it 20th?” ( and I show them the number on a small flashcard)

Students: “YES!”

Teacher: “Great”, “Now, what´s the weather like today?” “Is it cloudy?”(I will show them the picture)

Students: “no” “It´s sunny”

Teacher: “Very good!”

I will write on the board “It´s sunny today” and I will stick the picture next to the phrase.

Transition: “Well done!”.

Activity 1-10’: Listening

I will tell students that they will listen to a song, but they will have to clap when they listen to food vocabulary.

I will play the following song for the first time. They will listen and watch until minute 00.17. I will put the laptop facing them so they will watch the video as well:

Then, I will ask them.”Do you like the song? What is it about?”

Students: “food/healthy food”

Then, I will ask “What do the people in the video say?”

Students: (I believe students will answer this in Spanish, I will echo their answers in English)”dice que tenemos que comer de los 5 grupos para sentirnos bien”

Teacher: “Great! We should eat from the five groups to feel good. In what proportions? How much of each?”

Students: “A lot of veggies to feel happy”

Transition: Great!, “Let´s sit down and watch the rest of the video”

Activity 2 -15’: Classifying

Sitting at their desks, students will watch from minute 00.18 onwards from the video.

When the video is over, I will ask: “What do the people on the video explain?”

Students: “The five food groups”

Teacher: “Excellent! Which food group is group 1?”

Students: “fruits and vegetables”

Teacher: “Excellent! Which one is group 2?”

Students: “protein”

Teacher: “Excellent! Which one is group 3?”

Students: “rice, bread, pasta”

Students: “milk, cheese”

Teacher: “Great! dairy” Now, who can point the dairy group on the poster?”

Students: “ME!”

I will allow students to come to the board and point and the five food groups.

Teacher: “I need a secretary Who can hand in this?, thank you, Seba”

I will give students the following worksheet

taken fromhttp://www.nourishinteractive.com/system/assets/free-printables/116/preview-en-large.jpg?1362089591

I will explain to them that, in pairs, they will circle the food that belongs to the food group and cross out the ones who do not belong to it. We will do the first one together to check understanding on the instructions.

When they have finished, we will check it orally as a whole group activity. I will ask “Which food does not belong to the fruit group?”

Students:”chocolate and Chinese food”

Teacher: “Great! “Which food does not belong to the vegetable group?”

Students: “biscuit”

Transition: “Well done!” Let´s design a poster”.

Closure - 10’: Designing a poster

In pairs, I will ask students to design a poster on the five food groups. I will explain to them that they will draw the food under the correct subcategory. I will allot time for them to write and draw. When they finish, they will show it to the rest of the class and explain about it and why they have designed it in that way.
