Description

In this session, students will be able to talk about their toys using vocabulary learned in previous lessons and the sentence construction "This is my _____". During the lesson colors are added using the sentence “It’s _____” to provide additional information about their items. The lesson begins with students sorting toys and placing them in front of the corresponding word card. This activity is used to introduce the topic and to review vocabulary. After this, a short poem is shown on the screen to provide context for the target structures and vocabulary. Some controlled and semi-controlled activities will provide practice to prepare students for the last exercise where they describe their own toys.

Main Aims

  • • To provide clarification, review and practice of toys vocabulary. By the end of the lesson students will be able to use short sentences to talk about their own toys.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

The teacher provides two toy boxes for students to sort them and match them with the corresponding word card. Two students from each team will take part in the activity, the first team to finish will get points.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

The model sentences “This is my_______”. / “It’s _______.”, and some of the target vocabularies are shown in a short poem for students to read as a class. The teacher asks a student to read the sentences in a red (target structures).

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

The teacher reviews the pronunciation of the sentences “This is my _____ and “It’s ________”. The teacher reviews the pronunciation of the sentence “This is my _______” using isolated sentences from the poem used in the previous stage. Students are reminded of the meaning of “my” as a possessive adjective that is used to talk about things that belong to the speaker. Both models are known by students as they were learned in previous lessons. Teacher provides examples.

Productive Task(s) (18-20 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

Activity 1: Where’s the cookie? The teacher hangs four toys’ flashcards on the board and writes the model sentences "This is my ____. It’s ______". Students play "Where’s the cookie?" in teams. The teacher places four pictures of cookie jars under the flashcards, only one of them has a cookie. Students choose the toy above the door and make a sentence, the teacher reveals the cookie jar, if they find the cookie they get points that are added to their team’s score. If the cookie jar is empty no points are added. Activity 2: Pass the ice cream The teacher hangs pictures of toys on the board. Two students from each team play the game, one asks the question (What’s this?) and the other one answers describing the toy of their choice. They come to the front, one of them passes three balls, one by one (simulating ice cream) to their teammate until this one collects all the balls in a basket. The first team to finish the task first, gets points. Activity 3: Musical Toy Each team starts with a toy. The teacher plays music, when the music begins, the team passes the toy around. When the music stops, the student holding the toy, and their seatmate ask and answer (What’s this? This is my ____. It’s ___.) The teacher shows some boxes with different point-values. The students playing the game choose one of the boxes and the teacher reveals the points and adds them to the team’s score.

Feedback and Error Correction (8-10 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

As the final exercise, students will use the vocabulary and model reviewed during the lesson to talk about their own family, using family photos previously sent by the parents.
