Lesson Plan Number 1 Teacher: Meaca, Magali.

Age of the students: 11 (6th year EP) Level: pre-intermediate.

Number of students: 25 Length: 1 Class of one hour.

Students objectives/aims: the students will learn the Future Tense will (Affirmative)
Evidence that the objectives have been achieved: by the end of the lesson students will be able
to recognize the future tense will and to use it in short statements.
Teaching Point: Future Tense will (affirmative)
- Language Skills:
Reading:
1. Identify and read a text about the future.
2. Follow and understand the reading text selected by the teacher.

- Language System:
Pronunciation: /eI/; =/|u:tEo/; =/e3:o/; /ti:t/; /==Tct/
Grammar: the students will learn the future tense will
Vocabulary: Students will recall some verbs related to jobs and
professions such as doctor, teacher, singer, etc for the lead in
activity.

- Intelligences Developed:

Interpersonal: When students interact among themselves and with the teacher.
Students work in pairs in order to complete the task.
Intrapersonal: When students think about themselves in terms of what they
could be in the future.
Linguistic: when students learn how to use the future tense will. Recalling
learnt vocabulary.
Visual-Spatial: Students solve the activity by visualizing the future and how it
could be. The images that the activity provides also help them to do it.
Logical-Mathematical: Learning the new structure of the simple future tense (will)
Musical: Practicing saying the new structure using will

- Source of Materials:
The students book. Sky 3
Little pieces of paper brought by the teacher

- Assumptions: I assume that students know certain vocabulary related to jobs and
professions. The uses of some verbs such as live, happen, have, melt and think. I assume
that they know personal pronouns and the verb to be especially its contraction forms. I
assume that they can comprehend short sentences and questions and that they already
know simple present tense.
- Anticipated Problems: some problems that could arise in the middle of the lesson could
be that students cannot understand the instructions given. In that case I will repeat them
slowly and in a different way so that they can get it.
Another problem would be that Students do not understand the questions so it would be
difficult for them to complete the task. In that case I will help them by answering their
questions or by grouping the students who can understand the questions with those who
cannot.

Presentation:
( 2 minutes)
T: hello kids! How are you?
Sts: hello! Hi! Good! And you?
T: very good! Thanks for asking. Well kids today I have a new tense that we need to learn.

you, something you will be in the future. For example (I write in the blackboard) I WILL BE A
DOCTOR. So you write: I then the word will that is the future tense!! Then the verb be
that means ser and then what you want, for example a doctor or a teacher or a mother, etc.
do okay?

around checking their productions to see if they need help.

Intelligences Web



Linguistic: I will ask students to read short stories and to predict a possible outcome for each of them.
Material: printed short stories brought by the teacher.
Strategies: students will have to predict.

Logical-Mathematical: I will ask students to gather in groups and I will give them a brain teaser for them
to assemble. Each puzzle will have a picture of children playing with different toys and all dressed up with
different costumes. After solving the brain teaser they have to predict and write down what job these
children will have in the future.
Material: brain teaser (brought by the teacher) paper, pencil.
Strategies: students have to guess the future of the children in those images.

Spatial: I will show them a video and I will stop it as something is about to happen and see if students can
predict what it will be, such as what the character will see when they enter the room or who will end up
killing to.
Material: a video brought by the teacher, a projector.
Strategies: students have to guess according to what they can see from the video.
Bodily-Kinesthetic: I will ask students to bring glase paper to the class and to make little envelopes with
it. Inside each envelope they have to put a little paper with a fortune on it and close the envelope. After
that I will put all the envelopes in a bag and students have to pick one and read the fortune they got to
the class.
Material: glase paper, tape, scissors, bag.
Strategies: students have to make up fortunes using the future tense.

Musical: I will ask each student to think about the job they will have in the future and I will record them
one by one outside the classroom. After recording all of them I will play each prediction and students will
have to guess who said it.
Material: recorder.
Strategy: students have to visualize themselves in the future and after the recording they have to guess
who said what thing


















Interpersonal: I will ask my students to talk about or to write down their future plans. After that I will ask
each kid to explain how he or she will accomplish those goals.
Material: paper and pencil.
Strategies: students have to visualize their own future.
Intrapersonal: I will ask students to work in groups. Once they are arranged they have to write four
sentences each, using the future tense will then they have to choose one of them and try to make a
little poem joining all the sentences together to make it coherent. They can choose a common topic for
instance jobs, the world, human beings, etc
Material: paper, pencil.
Strategy: students have to appeal to their imagination to create a poem using the future tense.
