Class
description:
The
students in this elementary class are between 9 and 10 years old. There are 24
students, the same number of boys and girls. The class starts at 13:15 in the
afternoon, but before all the students meet with headmistress in the playground
in order to be welcomed. The students are asleep during the whole hour of the
lesson. They can start being noisy, especially when the same activity is taking
place for a long time and some of them finish it before the rest.
Nevertheless,
they work hard if they keep on working continuously in an activity that
interests them, for example, when they have to talk about themselves or have to
use their creativity. One aspect is important about this class, as they are
very young and with a low level of English, they speak in Spanish all the time.
Timetable fit:
The
lesson takes place from 14:15 to 15:15 pm on Mondays. During the current unit
students have been introduced to the topic “The family”. They have written
descriptions about their own family and then, they read them aloud. They have
read about members of other families and have been asked to look for
information about the age, birthday and physical features of the members of
their own family.
Last
class students worked with an activity in which they had to work in groups.
They started the manual part of the project, but they did not finish.
Next
class, students will be introduced to a new unit, “animals”. They will work
with lexical and grammatical items referred to this topic.
Personal
Aims:
- I am going to
speak as loud as possible.
- I am going to
organize the space on the blackboard clearly.
- I am going to
praise students when they participate in class and I am going to smile as
much as possible.
- I will speak
in English as much as possible.
Anticipated
problems:
- Students may
not remember some vocabulary about the house.
- Students may
not understand the new vocabulary (prepositions).
Possible
solutions:
- The teacher
will activate children’s prior knowledge about the family by writing words
on the blackboard.
- The teacher
will help students and repeat the items as many times as necessary. The
teacher will provide a list with new vocabulary about the house.

Pre-task: The teacher
will activate prior knowledge revising prepositions and parts of the house.
Ex: do you
remember what this is? Yes, it is a garage.
Teacher will remind students of the project.
Teacher will provide students with the materials they used last class so that
they can continue working.
Task:
The
teacher will group students as they were last class, and she will remind them
of the parts of the house assigned (kitchen, living-room, dining-room,
bathroom, study room and bedroom). After that, the teacher will remind them
that each group will have to fill the boxes given by the teacher with the pieces
of furniture learnt. This will be made with materials students will bring to
classes and with the help of the teacher.
Finally, they will describe each part of the
house, using prepositions and pieces of furniture learnt. The teacher will
help students by describing the garage again.
Ex: this is the
bedroom. There is a bed in the bedroom. The clock is on the bedside table.
This part will have written and oral
production. Students have to describe in a sheet of paper their rooms, then,
each student will take turns to describe orally part of what they have done.
The lamp is on
the bedside table. The cooker is next to the refrigerator.
The teacher will also assign individual grades
for their performance and production. They will depend on the work they have
done and on their collaboration mainly.

Last class students
worked with an activity in which they had to work in pairs. Student A had to
draw 5 elements in different places of an image. Then, Student B asked where
the elements were. Student A answered
and student B drew it in the same place. Finally, they compared both images. In
addition, they made a listening activity in which the teacher read sentences
that included objects and prepositions and then students had to draw what they
heard. Finally, they played a game in which each group earned points when they
answered questions correctly.
Next class, students
will continue working on the same lexical and grammatical items. They will continue
with the project work, making each part of the house and then describing them
in groups.
