Stages of the Lesson

Warm-up: The teacher greets the students, introduces the guest and asks if anybody is
absent. (3 minutes).

Activity 1
Aim: - to introduce the Ss to the new vocabulary
- to practise the pronunciation of the words (picture-pronunciation);
Interaction: T-Ss
Time: 15 minutes
Procedure: The teacher checks the Ss’ notebooks to see their drawings. They were supposed to
draw a horse, one of the new words that had been previously taught. She asks them what that is
and then she tries to elicit that the horse is an animal, a domestic animal. Then she asks the Ss if
they know other domestic animals. After that the Ss are shown some pictures with the domestic
animals [cat, dog, cow, horse, hen, chicken, duck, goose, sheep]. The T pronounces the words
and the Ss repeat chorally and then individually.
Materials: the Ss’ drawings, flashcards

Activity 2
Aim: - to provide a stimulating means of practising the new vocabulary related to the topic
(pronunciation-picture) by playing the ‘guessing game’.
Interaction: Ss-T
Time: 15 minutes
Procedure: The T covers the picture and shows only part of an animal. The Ss have to guess
what animal is. At first the T involves the whole class, but after a while the T calls the name of
the S who is supposed to answer.
Materials: flashcards

Activity 3
Aim: - to produce the new vocabulary
Interaction: T-Ss, S-S
Time: 8 minutes
Procedure: The S is going to ask the Ss the question: “Is this a…..?”. The Ss have to answer
correctly: “Yes, it is.” or “No, it isn’t. It’s a……” Then a S asks the question and another one
gives the answer. The S who answers correctly will pick an animal and ask the question. At the
same time, he/she names another S who will give him/her the answer to the question and so on.
The T offers help whenever necessary.
Materials: flashcards

Activity 4
Aim: - to check listening comprehension
Interaction: T-Ss, S-Ss
Time: 8 minutes
Procedure: The T tells the S that she is going to say some words and every time they hear a
domestic animal, they will have to clap their hands. Then they will have a contest. She divides
the class in two groups and does the same exercise but this time as a competition between the Ss.
Materials: -

Homework: The Ss are given an exercise as homework. They will have to cut the domestic
animals and stick them in the correct box. (2 minutes)
