Wild animals T shows SS some toy animals which they have to name and describe. SS recognize them and try to describe them using big/small, long/short, fast/ slow, big/little. The lion is a fast animal. The lion has four long legs. The lion has sharp teeth. T asks SS to open the books and read the lesson Hippos are big. Asking questions on the text T checks comprehension, and explains any new words. T gives SS the opportunity to express their preferences. SS listen and watch the CD. Controlled oral practice T asks the SS to guess the animal she speaks about T: They have a mane. S: They must be lions. SS use information from the previous exercise as a basis for further language practice. Pair work -Guessing the animal T prepares orally with the class, getting suggestions from SS, and writing key expressions on the board. T divides class in pairs so that all the SS are involved in the activity. Thus shy SS feel more secure and are more willing to speak. SS use information from the previous exercise as a basis for further language practice. T should check comprehension and also help SS have conversations by focussing their attention on the main points. Students A describe an animal and students B try to guess it. Freer written practice group work T divides the class into groups to work together. T gives clear instruction about what to do and defined tasks which do not go on too long.
