Unit 3_ Task 1_ Lesson Plan.

Eva Barrio Recio

PROJECT 1
Topic: The animals.
As a teacher we have to provide children the challenge to make them work, previous
knowing their knowledge asking them about the topic we are going to teach, to make
the language closer to them, to be more active making them feel involved in
cooperative tasks.
This is possible with visual aids, repetition, using simple tenses, involving the whole
group in the repetition, providing very clear instructions. We can do teaching
meaningful creating routines and an appropriate atmosphere, singing, using rhymes
and chants and paying attention to our student´s multiple intelligences, considering
mistakes as a step to learning.
We are going to learn about animals because it is a closer topic for them. They play a
lot whit stuffed animals and they like stories and cartoons about animals. Actually,
most of the families of our children have a dog, a cat, a bird or even a rabbit or a turtle
and also, we can schedule an excursion to the school farm to provide them direct
contact with farm animals and their environment to encourage a learning meaningful.
Through this topic children can develop their multiple intelligences, for example:
-linguistic intelligence: listening stories, poems…
-logical-mathematical intelligence: counting animals we can see…
-visual spatial intelligence: through the pictures, collage making by utilizing charts,
colours, painting and drawing.
-musical intelligence: singing songs about the material being taught.
-kinaesthetic intelligence: with physical experiences, dancing, running, performing,
hands-on activities …
-intrapersonal intelligence: acquiring habits.
-interpersonal intelligence: with group work and cooperative learning activities…
-naturalistic intelligence: classifying animals, compare and contrast.

We will hold four sessions, two sessions per week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each
session will last approximately 50 minutes.
