por los niños durante el cuatrimestre y años anteriores; profundizaremos la
enseñanza del mismo mediante el uso y práctica de nuevo vocabulario específico
para ampliar y afianzar nuevos conceptos.
Para promover el desarrollo de este tópico se elaborará una secuencia didáctica a
través de la cual los alumnos no solo podrán rever conceptos previos e incorporar
nuevos mediante el trabajo con actividades orientadas al uso de determinadas
habilidades y la reflexión e incorporación de prácticas para favorecer el aprendizaje
de la lengua extranjera. Es decir, trabajar sobre comprensión/ estimulación
auditiva y visual principalmente (lenguaje no verbal), prácticas de oralidad que
permitirán el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa y el uso del lenguaje
corporal.
Propósitos:
• Formar un espacio de aprendizaje y revisión/repetición de vocabulario
específico y el uso del idioma extranjero para expresar habilidades,
posesión, pertenencia etc. Adquirir y comprender nuevos conceptos.
• Promover actividades de interacción oral en el idioma extranjero.
• Incentivar a los alumnos mediante el uso de la palabra a participar en la
clase, fomentar el respeto, tolerancia y compañerismo
• Promover habilidades cognitivas (audición, visión, habla) mediante
canciones, actividades y juegos interactivos.
• Trabajar sobre comprensión de la lengua extranjera mediante el uso de

cuentos enriquecidos con imágenes y relatados de forma simple por las
profesoras y grabaciones relacionadas al tema elegido.
LESSON PLANNING 1: ANIMALS
NAMES: Cielo Sampietro & Gala Tamagni
DATE: August the 10th 2015
CLASS: Salita verde 5 años
LENGTH OF LESSON: 1 hour (13:15 to 14:15)
MATERIALS: Lesson plan, flashcards, photocopies, colour pencils, ice-cream sticks
and tablet
CLASS DESCRIPTION: There are 31 students in this group, all between 5 and 6
years old. They have English classes 4 times a week for an hour and most of them
have been studying English for about 2 years. As the English class is the first one
they have it is crucial to develop an active warm up; the main tool for this is the use
of songs as a daily routine in which they do not only sing and get engage but also
use their body.
AIMS:
GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES:
• Verb to be : Present Simple ----> e.g.: It is big and grey
• Can/ Can’t: Actions ----> e.g.: Can it fly?
• Have got/ Has got ----> e.g.: It has got a big brown mane

LEARNING AIMS: by the end of the lesson, we expect the children to be able to
identify and name new animals as they already know plenty of them. Also to
recognize what king of actions and sounds each can produce.
VOCABULARY:
• The introduction of new vocabulary to enlarge the student’s lexicon related
to the animal world.
PRONUNCIATION: As the children do not read or completely write yet, it is
extremely important to be focused on their pronunciation. They can actually
identify certain letters and the sound of them, by repeating how the words are
pronounced they can certainly reproduce them very well. For example, they are
able identify and pronounce perfectly the word Monday as it begins with the “M
sound” and they can do that with almost any word.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: we expect the children to understand, identify and
pronounce the new vocabulary, relate the name of each animal with particular
physical characteristics as well as predict the actions and sounds the animals
can reproduce in their specific environment.
ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS:
• Usually most of the children get easily distracted and the main reason is that
they really love chatting. When a little group starts to talk it makes the other
students lose their attention or sometimes get bored/sleepy.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

• It is really important to keep the children active, entertained and motivated
i.e. make them ALL participate in the activities in order to avoid boredom or
distraction.
• It is also fundamental to identify which students usually cause distraction
(talk, bother their partners) and ask them to change places (sit somewhere
else).
PROCEDURES:
STAGE 1: WARM UP
DESCRIPTION: At the beginning of the class the children are asked to form and sit
in a circle in order to follow the daily routine of singing song and reciting poems to:
say “Hello”, The Weather, Days of the Week, Feelings and Prayers to God. Usually
when the class is on Monday the students are asked to talk about their weekend.
This stage takes around 20 minutes.
“Are you ready to say Hello? Hello to everyone, and How are you Today? We come to
our circle time to laugh and sing and play.
And you are up you are up
And when you are down you are down
And when you re only half way up you are neither up nor down
Now roll your hands so slowly and roll them all so fast
Give our hands a clap clap clap and put it on your lap tap tap”
“Mister Weatherman, Mister Weatherman what’s the weather like?

What’s the weather like?
What’s the weather like Today?
What is like?”
“There are seven days, there seven days, there seven days in a week
There are seven days, there seven days, there seven days in a week
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday”

Thank you God for everything”
“When I come to school I sit and pray
Thank you God for this lovely day
I try to be good, ´cause I know that I should
That’s my prayer when I come to school”
ACTIVITIES:
First Activity: First we will introduce the topic “Animals” by making a review of
vocabulary that children already know with flashcards (E.G Farm and Jungle
Animals). We will also revise the actions that each animal can perform (Jump, Fly,
Eat, run, etc). TIMING: 5 TO 7 MINUTES
Second Activity: By the use of flashcards, we are going to present the children new
animals. Specifically: Ocean, Swamp, and desert animals. We will ask them general
questions about physical characteristics and actions. The will predict where the
animals may live and what they eat. TIMING: 15 MINUTES
Third Activity: Listen and colour activity: We will ask them to sit at the tables and
then, we will provide them with a photocopy with six different animals. We will
clearly explain what they have to do: Paint the six animals and write their name
(Student’s name). TIMING: 15 MINUTES

• Colouring Animals

CLOSSING THE LESSON: Usually when every lesson is finished, the students sing
the Goodbye song and wait until the next teacher comes. We will sing with them this
song:
“This is the way we say Goodbye, we say Goodbye, We say Goodbye
This is the way we say Goodbye, we say Goodbye to you
And you and you and you”
LESSON PLANNING 2: ANIMALS
NAMES: Cielo Sampietro & Gala Tamagni
DATE: August the 13th 2015
CLASS: Salita verde 5 años

LENGTH OF LESSON: 1 hour (13:15 to 14:15)
MATERIALS: Lesson plan, flashcards, photocopies, colour pencils, glue and ice-
cream sticks
CLASS DESCRIPTION: There are 31 students in this group, all between 5 and 6
years old. They have English classes 4 times a week for an hour and most of them

• Verb to be : Present Simple ----> e.g.: It is big and grey
• Can/ Can’t: Actions ----> e.g.: Can it fly?
• Have got/ Has got ----> e.g.: It has got a big brown mane
• Certain specific verbs and adjectives ( that children already
know or identify) : live/like, big, small, fat, wild, pet.
LEARNING AIMS: we expect to reinforce the knowledge the children already have as
regards animals, actions and physical characteristics as well as review what we
have seen on lesson 1. Also we expect to introduce just a little bit, the concept of
“habitat”: those specific animals live in specific places.
VOCABULARY:
• The introduction and review of vocabulary related to the animal world;
adjectives, nouns, verbs.

PRONUNCIATION: As the children do not read or completely write yet, it is
extremely important to be focused on their pronunciation. They can actually
identify certain letters and the sound of them, by repeating how the words are
pronounced they can certainly reproduce them very well. For example, they are
able identify and pronounce perfectly the word Monday as it begins with the “M

LEARNING OUTCOMES: we expect the children to understand, identify and
pronounce the new vocabulary, relate the name of each animal with particular
physical characteristics as well as predict the actions and sounds the animals
can reproduce in their specific environment through the use of riddles. Also we
will start to mention some words related to different habitats but not so deeply.
ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS:
• Usually most of the children get easily distracted and the main reason is that
they really love chatting. When a little group starts to talk it makes the other
students lose their attention or sometimes get bored/sleepy.

That’s my prayer when I come to school”
ACTIVITIES:
First Activity: We will begin with the class by reviewing some animals the children
already know and the new ones we mentioned and showed the previous class; at
the same time we will ask them some general questions to predict animal habitats,
actions etc. TIMING: 20 MINUTES
Second activity: we will place on the floor two flashcards: jungle and house. The
children already know how to distinguish wild animals from pets, so we will ask one
by one to pick an animal and place it under the right place: if it is wild, under the
jungle and if it is a pet, under house.
Third Activity: We will play a riddle game: we will ask the children to sit in a circle
with their puppets and explain them what the game consists of. * The puppets
already be prepared by us (teachers). The idea is that the teachers will mention
characteristics of the six animals to the children in order to make them guess which
animal is the correct one. Every time the teacher ends a riddle, the children will
have to guess and rise up their hands with the correct puppet . Before playing the
game it self we will again review the animals that the children have as puppets.
TIMING: 20/25 MINUTES
RIDDLE:
E.G: I am thinking about a big fat and grey animal with a long trunk and big ears. It
lives in the jungle and eats plants.
I am thinking of a small green animal that jumps from one place to another. It eats
insects with its long tongue.

I am thinking of an animal that can swim and makes funny noises in the ocean. It is
very friendly and eats other fish.
I am thinking of an animal that lives in farms, it is big, brown and eats grass.
I am thinking of an animal that lives in the forests, eats meat and it has a long fury
tail.
CLOSSING THE LESSON: Usually when every lesson is finished, the students sing
the Goodbye song and waits until the next teacher comes. We will sing with them
this song:
“This is the way we say Goodbye, we say Goodbye, We say Goodbye
This is the way we say Goodbye, we say Goodbye to you
And you and you and you”
