Lesson Template and Class presentation

UNIT I : Friends.

Grade : 7th

              According to Mineduc, in this unit we must work out the 4 skills for SLA, simple dialogues and monologues where direct language is used, including gestual or visual support. Also demonstrate explicit information and main ideas from texts, oral expression by brief dialogues and monologues including past and present actions, and finally, be able to write following the corresponding orthography.

              The previous information needed for this unit is :

                                    - Present and Past simple tense ( specifically verbs )

                                    - Connectors

                                    - Verb To be

                                   

               The class presented works with Songs, Poems and Chants related to the topic of the unit and that at the same time developes the 4 skills for SLA. Students attention is gained by audiovisual material ( slides, music and pictures ). Also during the class the contents are worked out with didactic methods, like choreographies, songs and characterizations, and handouts that the class works out individually or in group.

                     The first class of the unit starts with a choreography and a Chant called My best friend, that is followed by a short handout of verbs in present tense, next, the Song that is called You're beautiful worked out with the original song and another handout that works verbs, fill out blanks and complete the sentence, both of these, checked by the class and the teacher. And finally, there is a short presentation, that includes music, visual material and teachers' characterization of a poet called Tom Atoh, where the whole class must help the poet to complete his poem with past verbs.

                     Here is the Lesson template planned for the first class of the unit:
