Then theyll be standing behind the chairs while they perform the dancing task.
3. 3. Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: in this lesson, the use of ICT is included at the presentation stage. Students will watch a video song. Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: students may not want to take only one crown, but Ill remind them that we should share the crowns as weve done with the flashcards and cookies, so each friend can take one crown. Also I must monitor and enhance students cooperation with others. Potential problems students may have with the language: students may not immediately repeat the chunk he/she is. However Ill repeat the phrase as much as I can, as well as I will ask students to repeat them. Classroommanagement strategies: a corner for the community circle and tables and chairs in the other side. I will use cushions or chairs during the community circle because these resources help students to stay in their places. Then we will stand up and move behind the chairs so students can dance. If they misbehave I will sing the we make silence song or 1, 2, 3, silence/sit down please! or stop the song so they notice that there is something wrong. Assessment: what will be assessed and how: Ill check students identify the different family members by performing diverse tasks such as manipulating characters crowns and dancing. Lesson stages: ROUTINE: (2) - Ill greet students Hello! How are you? Are you happy? while I smile making a happy face. Ss will answer Hello! Yes! Happy! or they will be silent since they are shy at the very first time. Now Ill ask students to sit down in a circle on the floor or in a chair, so that everyone can see and greet each other. Ill say Lets make a circle! Just sit down, very good! Then we will sing the welcome song, Lets sing the hello song altogether. Hello song: HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO! TO YOU AND YOU AND YOU! HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO! TO YOU AND YOU AND YOU! WHAT A LOVELY WAY TO START THE DAY! HELLO, HELLO, HELLO! http://ec-pub-ecureuils-85.ac-nantes.fr/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=146 (adaptedversion) The song includes body language, that is, gestures and movements.
4. 4. The main purpose of this stage is to start the lesson and prepare students into the mood for work. Transition: Ill say Very good!! How nice! Lets see who remembers the story while catching the bag. Ill take some pieces of a train with pictures of the story The Enormous Carrot and Ill put it in the middle of the circle. WARM-UP: (around 5) Ill say Now we have to put the railcars in order! Look! Each railcar has a picture. Lets start! Betty pulls and pulls but it is impossible! So Betty asks for help, Help me please! She says, repeat, help me please and students repeat help me please, Ill continue who might be helping first? Estefy, want you?. Ill repeat the same procedure, saying who might be helping now? till all the railcars are in the train. With the penultimate railcar Ill say and suddenly, up comes the carrot. And with last one Ill say and finally, the family has carrot soup for tea. Then I ll focus students attention on last railcar by taking it and show it.
5. 5. Ill ask students Who is it there? Bettys mummyBettys sister and invite students to go on. Then Ill say This is a family, repeat please, it is a family and students will repeat its a family. The main purpose here is to review some family members and specific vocabulary, since students need it for the following stage. Transition: Ill say would you like to meet another family?, students will answer yes! and Ill take the bag of surprises. PRESENTATION: (around 5) Ill take five crowns from the bag and put them in the middle of the circle in this order: baby - mummy - daddy - brother - sister Then Ill start pointing to each crown and asking who is this.

So now Ill focus students attention on the computer by opening and putting it in front of them. Ill say Look! It is a video song! Lets watch it!

Ill explain Now you are going to put the crowns in the fingers. Like this and Ill show them with one. Ill explain but we have to sing the song and
