2. • Teaching approach or combination of methods / approaches: Communicative Approach
• Integration of skills: Reading and listening skills will be integrated in the
• Materials and resources:
- Course book: Wonder 5 – Richmond – Unit 1 Lesson 4 – Functional Language
- Plataforma Santillana Compartir: https://lms30.santillanacompartir.com/login/compartir
- Worksheets developed by me.
- Wonder 5 - Student’s book and activity book.
- Laptop and projector (there’s one in each classroom)
• Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: As they have Santillana Compartir in the
classroom I’ll use the resources available (audios, online student’s book and activity book) and
at home they will have to send their homework through the online platform.
• Seating arrangement: I observed their way to work in the classroom for three days, so I’ll
ask them to sit in the same way they are sit when they are attending lessons with Ms Mariana,
their teacher. The desks are placed in an auditorium shape, in three rows.
• Assessment: Understanding will be assessed continuously through the lesson, keeping my
attention on students’ reaction to the activities, asking questions, asking them to tell me what
they have to do or if they understand and use the vocabulary for getting into groups and how to
make suggestions.
Routine
Timing 10’
I’ll be at the door waiting for them to come from the break. I’ll say hello to each one and I’ll ask
them to sit on their chairs (as they were in the previous lesson). Usually it takes 10 minutes, as
it was observed. I hope to be able to make it quicker. If it does happen I’ll have some games to
do at the end of the lesson to adjust the planning.
Lead-in
Purpose: Talk about the pros and cons of working in groups in class.
Timing 5’
I’ll ask students to think about the first questions on their book – page 10. I’ll write them on the
board to point them out.
At the school,
1. do you work in groups?
2. do you choose the classmates in your groups?
3. does your group have a name?
Expected answers:
Yes, I / we do / No, I / we don’t
Yes, I / we do / No, I / we don’t
Yes, it does / No, it doesn’t.
Teaching strategies: I’ll explain what the benefits of working in groups are asking them questions
like: What happens if you don’t know an answer and your partner does? Can you help your
partners? Can your partners help you? When do you work in groups?

3. Strategies to check new language comprehension: Asking questions, rephrasing questions to
clarify meaning.
Interaction patterns: Teacher - Students
Skills: Listening and Speaking
Resources: A board, a marker, a laptop and access to Santillana Compartir online platform. In
case I don´t have Internet access, I’ll have a poster prepared in a pdf file with the picture of the
student’s book page.
Transition: Ok, it’s good to know your opinion… now let’s see what we are working on today.
Presentation
Purpose: Introduce students to a listening activity to find mistakes and correct them.
Timing: 5’
I’ll ask students to open their books (if they haven’t done already) and to read quietly the stick
note on the right top of the page. To guide them directly to the target, I’ll display on the board a
bigger copy made in a poster, or I’ll use the projector. The audio is the 1.7 (2:30)

October. We’ve got new groups at school. Mr Meaner never
chooses the people for each group. So, as usual, all the ‘best friends’ sit together.
Male teacher: Get into groups of five. Camilla: Come with me, Justin. Molly to diary: ere’s a new
girl in class, today. I think she’s Camilla’s friend. I go and sit with my next door neighbour, Harry.
And guess what??? He’s at Camilla’s table. I think he knows the new girl, too. Molly: Can I sit

and opposite Harry. Camilla is next to Justin. Harry: So... what about a name for the group?

I’ll play the audio up to minute 0:33, which the stick note is part of. I’ll use this part of the
exercise to exemplify how to find the mistakes and the way they are expected to correct them.
Tch: Well group, we are going to read and listen about a secret diary.
We’ll listen to the audio as many times as you need.
Listen to this carefully and find the wrong information, ok?
Expected answers: “No entiendooooo! No sé que hacer!
Ok, relax… look at the board… can you read the text?
Who wants to read the text?
Let’s read together.
After that, I’ll mark on the board (with the picture of the stick note) the mistake and how I correct
it / them. I’ll have the chance to check their pronunciation of numbers (15 / 50) as well.
Then, I’ll check again if they get what they have to do. If it is Ok, I’ll carry on with the listening
activity. If not, I’ll go back and explain it again.

5. Transition: Ok, is everybody good for the listening? Ok, let’s do it!

Closure
Homework

I’ll ask them to open the activity book on page 8 and I’ll ask them to complete the table sketch
in the same way they sit when they work in groups or when they go to have lunch (they usually
have lunch at school). After that, I’ll ask them to complete “the stick note” with their personal
details. I’ll guide them asking questions and asking them to compare that stick note with the one
in the student’s book. I’ll be walking around monitoring their work or answering questions.

the platform they usually use. They will have to write “their diary” starting like in the activity
book example:
