Lesson Planning

Lesson Nº 1:

I will enter the classroom and say hello to the students. Then I will introduce myself by telling them that I will be in charge of the lesson for a few weeks. After that, I will write the date on the board and check attendance.First,I will tell them that they will have to see a segment from the film Rio. I will ask them if they have seen it and other extra information as if they know the characters,their names,etc. After that,I will show them the extract of the film but before that ,I will stick a photo on the board of the main characters-Linda and Blue.I will tell them that ,we are going to see what she does every day before starting with her day together with her pet.We will watch the video (00.06.22-00.08.30).Then,we will talk a little bit about the film and I will stick the events on the board and mime them.Students will have to copy the sentences written on the board in their folders.After that ,I will give them a worksheet in which they will have to put the scenes in the correct order so I will play again the extract twice.As a way of checking everything together,I will stop the video on the correct scene and I will make them repeat with me.Then,I will copy some sentences on the board and they will have to copy them and say if the sentences are true or false.The sentences are :
