Unit: “I like pets”
Lesson: Farm animals
Type of lesson: communication of new knowledge
Vocabulary: farm animals: cow, horse, sheep, goat, pig, cat, dog, goose, hen, rooster

Lesson aim:

vocabulary taught,

Cognitive Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

 2

Learning activity: individual work

Interaction: T- Ss, Ss-Ss, IW

Assumed knowledge: - I assume that students may be familiar with vocabulary related to the topic, have difficulty in pronouncing the words
correctly, have difficulties in retaining all the new words, be noisy when solving the tasks or singing songs.

Skills: listening, speaking, writing;

Anticipating students’ problems:

- some students might need further help and extra indications in solving the tasks and they may also need some of these indications to be
given in Romanian;
- some students might feel nervous and reluctant to participate in the activity, so they may need assistance;

Aspects I particularly need to be aware of: the students to understand everything the teacher says and asks;

Assessment activity: the students will be assessed based on class participation;

Teaching aids/ Materials: blackboard, worksheets, laptop, PowerPoint, flashcards, coloured markers, YouTube, stickers
