Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home:

 In this lesson, a video song will be used to support the presentation and exposure of the students to the
teaching point. Activities organised through the combination of audio and pictures (audiovisual material)
enhances language learning and acquisition.

Seating arrangement:
Students will be sitting in a circle on the floor in order to facilitate visual contact and interaction within the
group. At some points in the lesson, theyll move around the class and move from one side to the other side of
the classroom in order to play a game.

Assessment: what will be assessed and how
While Sts identify and produce the different weather conditions, I will be assessing them. This will be done in
different stages of the class, eg. While listening to the song or playing the different games.

Stages in the lesson

Each stage or activity must be described in terms of the following items:

Purpose
Timing
Activity description and instructions as they will be said to students
(include direct speech, and students possible answers).

Mandatory lesson stages:

Routine: 5 Purpose: Get Sts ready to start working.

Before getting into the classroom, Ill open the door a little bit and show a part of my puppet. With a different
voice, I pretend to be the puppet and greet them. hello children!!! How are you today? When they greet the
puppet, we go into the classroom and I introduce my friend Mr Puppet. I tell them that the st who works Commented [A2]: Same routine you used with Kinder 4.
best that day will take the puppet home as a reward for a day. So the following class, he/she will have to bring
it back and another st can take it home. The idea is to motivate sts to work hard in class and behave properly.

T: hello everyone, how are you today? Do you like my friend Mr Puppet? He can go home with you today,
you only need to work properly and enthusiastically. Ok. Its time to work! Lets teach Mr Puppet the HELLO
SONG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN1Cyr0ZK9M . (This is their routine song so everybody sings the
song in order to teach it to Mr Puppet).
Transition. Lets see what he has brought for you today.

- Lead-in or Warm-up
Warm up: 5 Purpose: To introduce the topic and the teaching points

I open the puppets bag and take out an envelope full of holes, inside there is a picture of the
WEATHER which is the topic of the class and the idea is that sts can guess the topic while playing this
game.

T: Look! Mr Puppet has brought you this. Do you know what it is? (Spanish answers will be Commented [A3]: Same comment I made in the lesson plan for
accepted) Kinder 4.
Commented [A4]: Elicit words in L2, not in L1, pls.
I elicit from them that its an envelope.

T: do you know what he has inside the envelope? Do you want to know? Ok. Lets sit on the floor
and make a big circle. Great, now I will show you the envelope and you need to peep in order to see
what is inside it and guess the topic of todays lesson.

I walk around the class showing the sts the envelope and accepting their predictions and repeat them
aloud.
Transition. Finally, Ill take the picture of the weather out of the envelope for them to check their
predictions. Then Ill say: you were right!!! Well done!! This is THE WEATHER POSTER and we
are going to describe the weather today. Do you remember the words that you learnt with Ms
Brianda last class? Lets check.
Commented [A5]: OK.
Commented [A6]: Think of a different activity/strategy. You
shouldnt be doing the same kind of activity in both groups.
Commented [hp7]: I will leave this activity for this course. I
have already changed the activity in the other course.

- Presentation
Presentation. 10 Purpose: To expose sts to the target language, to foster comprehension of a very simple song.
 Task 1. T: Now, lets see, do you remember The Weather Song that you learnt with Brianda?(their teacher
presented the song last class) Can you identify the different types of weather in the song? Whenever you
listen to a weather word, you need to stand up. (sts will watch the video sat on the floor) Commented [A8]: You suggested the same activity in Kinder 4.
Transition. You did a great job! We will continue working with the weather. What else could you do?
Commented [hp9]: I will leave this activity. I have already
Task 2. T: Now, lets practisce a little more. (Sts will be provided with pictures of different weather, each changed the one in the other course.
picture will be in a different table, there are 4 different pictures).
I will say: ITS SUNNY TODAY. (I will draw with my hand a sun on the air) and I will expect that the children
who have the picture of the sun on their table can bring it to me. When they bring me the right picture, I
will ask them: HOWS THE WEATHER TODAY? Expecting to elicit from them: ITS SUNNY.
I will do the same with the other weather cards until all of them are stuck on the walls of the classroom.
I will always use my body to help them pick up the correct picture.

Transition. Now that you know all the words to describe the weather, we can play SIMON SAYS.
- Development = 10
Activity 1: Purpose: To identify alone, the different weather types.

Mr Puppet Says. (5)

I will explain the game to the sts in order to play it.
Instructions. Whenever I say MR PUPPET SAYS ITS SUNNY, you have to mime the weather but if I dont
mention MR PUPPET, you have to sit down on the floor.
We will play it once, in order to demonstrate when they have to mime the weather and they dont. Then
they will be ready to play.
Transition. Well done! Now you are ready to describe the weather.

Activity 2: Purpose: To identify the different weather type and pronounce it.

The Weather Game.

Using the weather pictures pasted in the previous activity around the classroom, they have to recognize the
different type of weather while listening to the song again and playing a game. When they listen to the
weather type, they have to move to the side of the classroom that they can find this type of weather.
To do this activity, I will play the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD6FRDd9Hew by chunks and
stop it after a weather type is mentioned so that they get closer to the right picture.
 Instructions. We will listen to The Weather Song and I will stop the music when a weather word is
mentioned. So you need to walk quietly to the part of the classroom where you can find this type of
weather. When everybody is there, I will ask you a question: HOWS THE WEATHER TODAY? The student
that first answers my question will get a point.
Transition. We are getting to the end of the lesson but we want to learn the song to sing it next
class while describing our families.

- Closure
Closure. 10 Song Sts sing the song and practise the language to describe the weather next
class.

Sts will watch the video again and sing the song while using their bodies to draw the right weather in the
air. They will do this in order to practise and describe the weather next class.
These are the song lyrics.

Observations Dear Pat,

This lesson is practically the same as the one you designed for kinder 4. You must
think of different strategies and activities they are two different groups, of
different levels and ages.

The weather game and the weather song (closure stage) are the ones that dont
appear in the other lesson plan and you can surely use.

Resubmit your lesson plan as soon as possible, please.

Best,
Aure

Teacher,
I have changed the plan for the sala de 4, I prefer to leave this one like this because I
have more material to work with the other class. I hope you dont mind.
TKs,
Pat

OK, Pat. I made some comments. Please make sure in the following lessons to plan
completely different activities. Do encourage students to use the target language.
In this lesson, they are mainly exposed to the vocabulary and they do a lot of TPR.
Try to elicit the structures from them as well.
Enjoy the lesson!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN1Cyr0ZK9M . (This is their routine song so everybody sings the song in
order to teach it to Mr Puppet). Lets get prepared.

Sts stand up in front of the television to sing the song.

Transition. You did a great job today.!

- Lead-in or Warm-up
Warm up: 5 Purpose: To revise the weather words.

I take out from a bag a picture of a weather word in order to check how much they remember about
the vocabulary. I will use the same pictures that I used last class.

T: Look! I have some pictures to revise the weather. Have a look at this Hows the weather?? I
help them say the weather correctly according to the picture that they can see. The idea is that
everybody can recognize the weather.

Transition. Great Job! Now you are ready to play the next game.

- Presentation
Presentation. 10 Purpose: To expose sts to the target language, to foster comprehension of a very simple song.

Task 1. T: Im going to show you a picture of a weather word and if the picture is correct,, you need to
stand up but if the picture is not correct you have to continue sat.
Eg. I show them a picture of a sunny day and I say: ITS WINDY TODAY = the picture is not correct
according to the sentence so Sts need to keep sat. but if I say: ITS A SUNNY DAY, they need to stand up
quickly. (I will continue using the same weather pictures)

Transition. Great!!! Now we can sing the Weather song drawing the weather on the air.

 - Development = 10
Activity 1: Purpose: To discover and identify alone, the different weather types.

Hows the weather today?

I will give sts a sheet of paper where I will draw half of the weather word, coloured glue will be available for
sts in the middle of their tables and they have to put it over the drawn surface, then they need to fold the
sheet of paper and a complete picture will appear. The idea is that different tables will have different
weather words.

They will have a sheet of paper like this, but And after putting glue in the lines of the drawing
already folded in the middle and folding the sheet of paper again, they should
have something like this

Instructions. now, we are going to make our own weather cards so we need to sit at our tables. (Sts will
find coloured glue and a folded sheet of paper with half of a drawing inside) you need to be quiet and
ready to start working. Now you will unfold the sheet of paper and put glue over the lines to discover the
drawing. When you finish, you need to fold the sheet of paper and open it again. HOWS WhatS THE
WEATHER LIKE? = I expect from the children to recognize the different weather words.

Transition. Well done! Now you are ready to sing the weather song using your own cards.

Hope you could think of another game, instead of using Simon Says, as you are
playing it with Kinder 4. Im positive you will come up with another interesting idea!
You may think of a story, for instance. Come on, Pat! It`s the final countdown!
