Teaching approach: The lesson is delivered under the Communicative
Approach.
Integration of skills: Speaking and listening through oral practice.
Writing and reading skills by getting information from a text and writing
about their favourite athlete.
Materials and resources: pictures with the different sports (archery,
athletics, basketball, cycling, football, artistic gymnastics, hockey, judo,
swimming, rugby, tennis, volleyball), notebook, power point presentation,
chalk, board, game board, sport cards (archery, athletics, basketball,
cycling, football, artistic gymnastics, hockey, judo, swimming, rugby,
tennis, volleyball), token, tales, dice, “gold medal”, worksheets with
exercises for each student.
Pedagogical use of ICT in class:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zcydvech9w8aqi1/OLYMPIC%20GAMES%20
%20joha%20orig1.ppsx?dl=0
(To watch the power point PRESENTATION you have to open the link
and then go to the option “ABRIR” and then “abrir en power point
escritorio”)
A power point about different athletes and I will also give the students
this link https://www.rio2016.com/es where they will find information about
different athletes to write their paragraph.
Seating arrangement: Depending on the type of activity, students will be
sitting in pairs or in groups.
Cooperative work: Students will work in groups, and individually while
interacting with the teacher.
Possible problems and possible solutions regarding behaviour:
Maybe students get so excited at the time of playing the game and find it
difficult to understand the instructions of the game in English, so I will
mime and exemplify as much as possible. I´ll also ask each group to
choose a “captain” that would be in charge of throwing the dice and
moving the tale. I will be there to guide them, especially during the first
time they have to mime the actions.
Potential problems students may have with the language: The
pronunciation of some of the sports words and verbs might be difficult for
them. We will practice them through repetition in context.
Assessment: What will be assessed and how: I´ll check students
comprehension by asking questions and also I´ll check students
participation encouraging them to provide the correct answers with
examples or miminge.
Comentario [A1]: Board game

Let´s play a game. Constanza told me you love playing games!
Activity 4: (20 minutes)
Comentario [A6]: check
Materials: game board, sports cards, token, tiles.
Objective of the game: the goal of this game is to be the first to reach “the
gold medal”.
Instructions:
-Place the cards face down (the sports cards include all the sports I´ve
presented: archery, athletics, basketball, cycling, football, artistic
gymnastics, hockey, judo, swimming, rugby, tennis, volleyball)
-Divide students into teams
-If players land at PICK A CARD or ON A BLACK SQUARE, they pick a
card and act out the sport written on it for the rest of the team to guess.
(SPORT CARD: FOOTBALL, Ss: he’s playing football)
-If the team guesses correctly, they throw the dice again. If they don´t, it’s
the other team’s turn to throw the dice.
“Now, I need you to separate into two teams”
(here the T forms the groups)
“In order to play the game each group will choose a captain that would be
in charge of throwing the dice and moving the tile” (T gives each group its
tale)
“The objective of the game is to be the first one to reach the gold medal
(T shows them the “gold medal”), so in order to do this you will throw the
dice and move the tile. If you land at PICK A CARD or ON A BLACK
SQUARE, you pick a card and act out the sport written on it for the rest of
Comentario [A7]: board game
Comentario [A8]: How will you make sure they produce complete sentences instead of just shouting the name of the sport?
Comentario [A9]: If the sentence is grammatically incorrect or incomplete, will they lose their turn?
the team to guess (It´s like what we call in Spanish, “a prenda”). For
example: SPORT CARD: FOOTBALL, so you mime the action for the rest
of your group. If the team guesses correctly, they throw the dice again. If
they don´t, it’s the other team’s turn to throw the dice. You’ll have 30
seconds to guess the action”
(T will mime and exemplify as much as possible while giving the
instructions)
Who wants to pick a card and mime an action as an example?
S: me!
T: great!
S: mmm… volleyball
T: ok! Remember to read it in silence. Your mates cannot hear you or see
the sport card. You have to mime the action to your group.
T: and.. could you guess what is he doing?
Ss: he´s playing volleyball!
T: “excellent! So...this is what you have to do when you land at pick a
card or on a black square. As you guessed it correctly, you have to throw
the dice again. It´s your turn again. Do you understand? Ready to play?”
(T gives each group a tile)
Transition:
Well done! Congrats to all of you!
Now let´s sit down… I need you to help me analyze these sentences
Activity 5 (5minutes)
(T writes the two sentences on the board)
Usain Bolt lives in Jamaica
Usain Bolt is running
Comentario [A10]: Language. … what he is doing
Comentario [A11]: Who will get the token? Will it be the captain?
Comentario [A12]: Playing games with large groups might be challenging. You should have a bunch of classroom management strategies at hand so as to cope with the situation.
Which sentence is about now?
Which sentence is true day after day?
Ss: the second is about now!
Great! So we use the present continuous to talk about actions that last
a short time. The actions are happening now.
And we use the present simple (T points at the first sentence) Usain Bolt
lives in Jamaica to talk about actions that are true for all time or a long
time.
Good!
T: Can you give me more examples using the present simple and
continuous? (I will elicit more examples and write them on the board)
What about Paula Pareto?
Ss: She lives in Argentina
She is fighting
Great!
Can you give me more examples…?
T: good! Write down these sentences on your folders.
Closure and homework (3 minutes)
(T gives each student the following activity)
“For the next class I want you to think of an athlete you like. You
are going to make an oral presentation. You will include a picture of your
athlete and also write:
What´s the athlete name?
Where is he/she from?
How old is he/she?
Where is the athlete in the picture?
What is he/she doing in the picture?”
The next class you are going to tell us about your athlete
Here you will find information about different athletes:
Comentario [A13]: Or states
Comentario [A14]: Paraphrase.
Comentario [A15]: How many?
Comentario [A16]: They should practise before they are assessed. During this lesson, the utterances they have produced have been much more simple than what you expect them to do on their own for next class. Weak learners might need more exposure and practice.

Observations Minimum score: 21 / 35 Score: __24__ /35 = 7 Dear Johanna, Working with ICT is really appealing for students. Good choice. You may need to give further information about the movie for the ones who haven´t watched it –get ready for it. For the lesson to be truly communicative, they should exchange some information. As far as the lesson plan shows, they are supposed to complete a written exercise with words. How communicative is that? Will they actually develop their listening skill throughout this lesson? We think you should model the activity, providing an example, and then encourage students to move onto a freer stage in which they write the sentences on their own. Do you think they will be able to do so? You are the one who knows them, so it is up to you. Our suggestion aims at making the activity more challenging and communicative, so as to get students to work with the language. Hope our comments are useful. Have a nice lesson! Your tutors

AFTER WATCHING TASK (10 minutes)
TASK 3:
Ss watch the video again. I´ll tell them that they have to pay
attention because the next task is a memory game. Ss don’t know what
the task consists of yet. While ss are watching the video clip they are able
to read the lyrics. In the song, there are a number of actions in the
present continuous that are described by pictures, in this way it is easy to
memorise the actions. They will work in pairs. I´ll provide them the verbs
to be used at the top to make it easier.
MEMORY TEST. CAN YOU REMEMBER THE ACTIONS?
SIT WASTE HANG WAIT DRIVE TURN STEP
I´ll give them the first one as an example. I´ll also explain them that when
we use the present continuous, some words change their spelling as in
SIT and STEP. I´ll write on the board the words SIT an STEP and ask
them what these words have in common, making them infer the rule.
Then I´ll write down on the board:
S I T
C V C
I´ll explain them that we double the final letter when a verb ends
in consonant + vowel + consonant.

As you now we can sometimes use colours to express different feelings
or to express different meanings
TASK 4 (10 minutes)
T: “This song introduces the relationship between colours and feelings.
Here you´ll match the expressions with its own meaning”
This task works with expressions that use colours to express different
meanings. Ss guess the meaning. I will allow them to use their cellphones
to look up for the expressions in an on-line dictionary. Then I´ll give
feedback to the wholeclass.
MATCH EACH EXPRESSION WITH ITS OWN MEANING:
To feel blue *you feel jealous
To be red with anger *you are sad and depressed
To have green hands *you say an innocent lie
To be green with envy *you are good at gardening
To get the green light *you are furious

Closure and homework (10 minutes)
The teacher plays the video clip for the last time in order to remind
the words and the images. We can also use it to check task 2 if we
couldn’t finish it in the 1stsession.This is also the time to enjoy the
song and encourage ss to sing.

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time

I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

Comentario [A44]: Language …what the song is about.
Comentario [A45]: The instruction for the assignment is quite broad. They might not know what to do. Why don´t you give them some prompts to guide their productions? Do you want the students to write a paragraph or another stanza? Be clear. You may provide them with a set of questions or images. The thing is that, so far, they have been gap-filling or answering quite simple questions.

I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Observations Minimum score: 21 / 35 Score: _20___ /35 = 6 Dear Johanna You are working with a song again. What about the homework you gave students in the previous class? Remember that if you ask them to do something at home, it is important to go over it. We really think you need to foster oral communicative activities, as you state through your learning aims. How communicative are the students in this lesson? Take it into account when delivering the class, encourage students´ participation. Have second thoughts as regards the closure/homework. You have to scaffold their learning, so that they can fulfil the task. And provide them with activities that are suitable for their level. Take our comments into account, and have a lovely and musical lesson! Your tutors
