Procedure
Pre-Activity
Duration: 15-20 minutes
To begin the lesson, a world map which has the different continents colored will be shown. In the continents, there are a couple of characterictic animals of that place. Five students will be chosen at random, who will have the opportunity to choose the color that most attracts their attention regardless of location. Once the student has chosen the color, the continent will be clicked. The fist animal belonging to that area will automatically be displayed along with interesting information and facts about it and its lifestyles, and finally the second one afterwards. The student must read the information of each animal, being careful if he needs asistance in any word to know its meaning or form.
Also, in each slide will be three audios of different animals which one of them belongs to the animal that appears in the slide. Likewise, then the student read the information, the professor will play three audios, the students will hear the three animals and they have to guess which is the sound of animal that appears in the slide. And in the same way, they must guess what animal the other audios are.
This activity will help them improve their reading and they will also have fun discovering the sounds of new animals and reinforcing the names of animals they already know.
While-activity
Duration: 10 minutes
Through the Educaplay page, an activity was created in which students will have the opportunity to have fun and put what they have learned into practice. There they will have to guess which animal is being talked about. The activity consists of sentences in the form of a riddle. The teacher will read the statement, which will have characteristics of the animal; after this, the teacher will randomly choose two or three students to read the statement aloud. Finally, the students will have to guess, write and correctly say the animal that is being described. Each riddle has three attempts, but each student has only one chance, so, three of them can participate for each statement.
The objective of the activity is to put the students into practice by demonstrating their skills and abilities in listening, since the student will be able to hear the way in which these words are being pronounced when the teacher reads the sentence; The pronunciation, when the students read aloud the sentence and the grammar, since the students will have to write the animal in the answer box.
Ice Breaker-Acitivity
Duration: 7 minutes
It will be a video where students have to follow the movements that they will see. With the video they can have the opportunity to relax in a funny way. Here the students have to pay attention the commands that they listen during the video and try to do it correclty
Post-activity
Duration: 15 minutes
For this we will use the application called Vizia (an application that allows us to create videos with different types of questions or annotations). Students will watch a video in which they see the description of different animals. At the end of each description, the video will stop for a student to answer a question. Any student who wants to answer the question will answer it. The aim of this activity is for students to feel free to answer the questions whenever they want. At the same time students will practise their listening and expand their vocabulary.
Assesment
Students will make a video where they will talk about the animal they like the most. They will show a picture of the animal and tell the respective characteristics of the animal.
They should upload the video to youtube and share it during the next class session.
