Teaching approach: Communicative approach

Materials and resources: sheets of paper, pictures of animals from the zoo.

Integration of skills: students will put into practice their speaking, writing and reading skills. These skills will be integrated through different communicative activities to help students to incorporate new structures or new vocabulary.

Seating arrangement: students will get in pairs to work during all the class.

Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: a possible problem would be misbehaviour .I will pay attention to them speaking to them and encouraging them to participate in each stage of the class.

Potential problems students may have with the language: In case students don’t understand the vocabulary or the new structure; I will mime each new structure or I will help them to understand it explaining the instructions.

Assessment: I will assess my student’s progress during each stage of the lesson by taking into account how they are learning and participating when we incorporate the new language.

Warm up (20 minutes):

I will say: 'hello’ to the students and I will tell them: ‘How are you? ‘Students will say: ‘fine’. Then I will tell them: ‘Today we are going to talk about animals. You know last month I visited Buenos Aires zoo and it was fantastic.’ I will ask students: ‘Do you know what animals there are in Buenos Aires zoo? Students will say: ‘the name of some animals’. For instance elephants, lions, monkeys, giraffes’. I will say:’ Yes, there are a lot of animals’ and I will show some pictures that I took so that they can see the animals they mentioned and the once they did not mention.

I will pick up a photo and I will say: look at the lion‘s cage, and I will say the lion is two meters tall and look at this photo of me and the cheetah. It is one point fifty meters tall. So the lion is bigger than the cheetah. After that I will continue showing students pictures of different animals by this time I will ask them to make comparative sentences. For example. They will look at a photo of a gorilla and I will tell them how much it weighed .It weigh: 200kg.I will show them a photo of a chimpanzee and it weights 80kg. Students will say: The gorilla is heavier than the chimpanzee or the chimpanzee is lighter than the gorilla.

Presentation (25 minutes):

I will tell them that I found some animals really surprising. For example I will say: ‘when I went to the bird’s cage I saw a lot of birds like parrots, toucans and eagles.’

.I will show student’s a photo of a colourful parrot and its size: 30 cm. I will glue the photo of a parrot on the board and I will write its size: 30 cm. Then I will show them the photo of a toucan and I will tell them about it, its size: 50 cm .I will glue the photo on board .I will write its size. Finally, I will show students a photo of an eagle and I will describe.’ Its size: 2 meters’. I will glue the picture and I will copy the size on the board .Later, I will make students look at the photos of the parrot and the toucan and I will say: ‘the toucan is bigger than the parrot, but what about the eagle. The eagle is the biggest bird in the zoo’. I will mime the adjective biggest with my arms. I will copy the sentences on the board. After that I will say:’ the snakes were incredible too .I saw three different types of snakes’ and I will show them pictures of a rattlesnake, a boa and an anaconda. I will tell them how long they are.

I will glue the picture of a rattlesnake on the board and I will copy it is 80 cm. Then I will show a picture a Boa and its length 5 meters. I will glue the picture on the board and I will copy its length, .Finally, I will show them a picture of an anaconda and its length, 9 meters. After that I

will make students focus on the rattlesnake and the boa’s pictures and I will ask them to compare the two snakes. Students will say: the boa is longer than the rattlesnake. Then I will say: 'what about anaconda? Anaconda is the longest snake in the zoo and it is also the largest in the world’. I will mime the adjectives of largest. I will tell students that we use this new structure (I will highlight the word “the” and the termination “est.”) to say that one animal, person or thing is superior in some quality than the rest.

Practice (25 minutes):

After that I will tell students: ‘you will work in pairs and I will give each member a worksheet like the following chart:

Students are supposed to read the information and say sentences using the superlative forms of the adjectives in the box to his/her partner. I will model the activity by saying: ’tigers are the largest of the big cats and the sharks are the largest of the sea animals’. I will walk around to monitor their work and provide help if necessary.

Game (20 minutes):

I will say: Well, now we are going to play a game .Students will continue in pairs, but this time I will provide students with word card and they have to put the words in order to form a superlative sentence about the animals at the zoo. The pair that finishes the sentence first gets one point. They love playing games. Once they have finished, I will give each pair more word cards and the pair that gets five points is the winner. I will say:”Each group have to order the words in order to form a sentence. The group that finishes the sentence first is the winner.”I will check each sentence in order to correct it. I will give the following cards to each group:

Word cards:

Group 1: the, gorilla, is heaviest, animal, in, the, zoo.

Group 2: Anaconda, the, is, longest, snake, in, the, zoo.

Group 3: Eagle, the, biggest, bird, in, the, zoo.

Production (20 minutes):They have to write six superlative sentences using the information from the chart .I will model the activity by writing “sea lions are the smallest of the sea animals”. After some minutes, students will read their sentences aloud.

Closure (10 minutes):
