PLANNING A LESSON
JUSTIFICATION:
Farm Animals are very popular among young children, they have seen them in books, cartoons and many stories since they were born, they are already familiar with the topic and this makes it easier in the topic. Farm animals is a topic they are going to find frequently as well as in real life, and also gives us the opportunity to work with authentic material, to experiment through language and have fun in the classroom making different animal sounds and having fun learning their names.
PUPILS AGE: 3-6 years old.
OBJECTIVES:
• To Learn the name and sounds of some farm animals.
• Enjoy learning English, practising the good pronunciation.
• Developing creativity through different activities.
METHODOLOGY:
The activities we propose look for participation and motivation from the pupil, we intend for the pupils to feel involved in the process of learning, always respecting the pupils own learning. These activities also give the pupils the opportunity to experiment with different materials and with the language.
We don’t try to correct the pupils every time they make a mistake but we will repeat their mistake in the correct way so that they learn the correct pattern as well as to students’ interest and implication during the lesson. We will give importance to pronunciation, implication and interest the pupils show during the lesson.
ACTIVITIES:
• Song “Old Mc Donald”.
• See the video of the farm animals.
• Visit the farm.
• Take photographs of these animals.
• Draw the animals.
RESOURCES:
• Storybooks,
• “Old Mc Donald’s” video
• Electronic devices as: digital camera, computers, printers, dvd-cd.
• Parents help (for the excursion)
• Colours, pencil, drawing paper.
DURATION:
• 3 sessions of 50 minutes and a day out to the farm:
*1st session: introduction of farm animals using a known story: “El cargol i l’herba de poliol” (in English), using farm animals for all characters. (We would consider asking some of the pupils to act out some of the characters in further sessions).
Ask the pupils if they know which sound goes with which animal, as well as finding out how many of these animals they already know.
Introduction of “Old Mc Donald” song.
*2nd session: Singing “Old Mc Donald” song all together, as well as watching the video of the song:
Drawing and colouring the different animals on the farm.
*3rd session: Day out to a farm.
First of all, we will ask the children to look at the photos and try to remember the animals they see, and then we will ask them if they can remember any. We will take advantage of the excursion to try different home-made products for their mid morning break, and we will spend all morning on the farm.
4th session:
We will put together all photographs, drawings, and material used during the last sessions, and make a mural to hang on the wall in the classroom.
