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: students may speak in Spanish. I will demonstrate and make them repeat the correct form /word in English.

Classroom management strategies:

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:

Routine: For this routine I will separate the classroom in two halves. Students will be sat at their desks. I am going to play the tape twice, so the first time half of the class

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 to encourage participating by asking him/her myself a question. (There are very shy students).

21

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.

WARM UP:

Timing: 5 minutes.

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

Routine: For this routine I will separate the classroom in two halves. Students will be sat at their desks.

How are you today?

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:

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 what the zoo keeper told me each character eats
