Lesson plan 9

Topic: Magic Bag Project: “Pete the cat- Rocking in my school shoes” by Eric
Litwin (2011). Harper Collins.

Students Profile:

Grade 4, beginning level of English language proficiency. State primary

school. Only one class of 40-minutes a week. Students’ age: 9-10 years old.

In 4 “D” there are twenty-one students (twelve girls and nine boys),
sometimes we feel that there is lack of comradeship, for example, they do not
help each other to do the activities unless we tell them, or they do not ask their
partners to borrow a school object (they do share their things only when we ask
them, they do not have the initiative to give an object or ask for it). In general
terms they get on well with each other but we can see that the group is split
between girls and boys.

In 4 “C” there are twenty-one students (thirteen boys and eight girls) they
are very participative and collaborative with each other. We recognize that there
is the same issue as regards the division of the group (boys on one side and girls
on the other). Sometimes they have conflicts between them, for example in our

third lesson, they had had a problem between them during the break and some
of them were upset and angry).

In both classes we share the same inconvenient with our students. Lucas
and Ignacio in 4° “D” and Tiziano, Lautaro and Catalina in 4° “C” have difficulties
in learning, they learn at a different pace from the rest of the group and we have
to help them more. Also, Tiziano and Ignacio are very shy and it’s hard to make
them speak up.

Routine: 3’

We will be following the routine ‘’How do you feel today?’’ that

our mentor teacher uses every class before starting with the lesson.

Warm Up: 5’

We will give each student a headband of Pete the cat and we will ask them
about the settings from the story using images “What’s this?” (Library,
playground and lunchroom). Then, we will ask them about the action was Pete
performing e.g: “What’s Pete doing?” He’s rocking in his school shoes! So we will
play the song for each action.

Activity one:15’
For this activity we will continue with our story retelling activity, we will give
five minutes so each student can fill in the verbs missing in the images. After that,
we will ask each group to retell the story from their desk. Each group will have to
retell one fragment, then the other groups will follow.
Activity two: 10’
The aim of this activity is that students learn about prepositions. In order
to accomplish this, we will present colorful flashcards with “IN, ON, UNDER,
BEHIND”, we will show them to them by performing actions with our bodies. After
that, we will play Simon says and we will ask students to perform the following
activities:
 Step on the chair.
 Jump in the hula hoop.
 Hide behind the chair.
 Go under the cover.

Activity three; 5’

In the following exercise students will have to complete the sentences with
the prepositions previously learned. They will have to fill in the blanks according
to the images.
