Aprendizagens Essenciais:
 Visual competence: recognize the weather, by just looking outside the window and

analyze the weather.

 Written comprehension: recognizing familiar vocabulary along with images and

practicing simple reading exercises aloud.

 Critical thinking: Present an argument to the group, justifying what the student is

saying and asking simple questions that foster curiosity to others on their own.

Anticipated problems:

1. Internet not working – would prevent me of playing the pirate game and watching
the National Geographic Kids video.
2. Projector not working – pupils could be unable to see some images if they are not in
a bigger format.
Solutions:

1. Download the video previously and have it in an USB pen drive; for the pirate
game, if the internet is not working, they can play the hangman based on
drawings/a PowerPoint game.
2. Turn the monitor over for students so they can see the images clearly.
