Procedure (47-60 minutes)
Give feedback on what has been seen in previous classes using the vocabulary to describe people and animals. Have students describe what their mother is like using the vocabulary words they know. Ask students how they would answer the question, how is your mother physically? according to what was previously analyzed.
Assign students an activity that consists of accommodating sentences involving the description of people and animals. The answers are free. Explain to the students that this activity is answered according to their criteria, that is, there are no correct answers.
Discuss as a group the answers obtained in the sentences of the activity. Identify the mistakes made by the students when organizing the sentences. Explain in detail how the sentence should be organized following the grammar of affirmative sentences using the following order (Subject + verb + predicate). Show examples on the board of sentences using the grammar learned previously.
Write five disorganized sentences on the board. Ask students to individually organize the sentences correctly. Compare answers as a group once students finish the activity.
Instruct students to draw their best friend and write a sentence about their physical appearance. Instruct students to do the same with their favorite jungle animal.
