Context of the lesson
The lesson will be changing the animals and the adjectives of the animals in the story.
Teaching goal
Describe new animals with new adjectives.
Learning objectives
The students will be able to:
1- Recognize some different animals such as ( parrot, bear, tiger, panda, pig, horse,
sheep, kangaroo)
2- Use different adjectives for the animals such as (dangerous, smelly, fast, noisy,
dirty, long, wet, creepy, fat, snappy).
3- Write the names and the adjectives of the animals.
Assumptions about prior learning
Some of the students may know the some of the animals adjectives such as (long,
noisy), but they dont know the other adjectives such as (creepy, snappy).
Some of the students may know how to write the names of some words such as pig
and wet, but they dont know how to write the words Kangaroo and dangerous.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
I may face some miss behavior during the lesson, so I will use stars and happy faces to
control the class.
Some students may face some problems to find an adjective for their animals, so I will
try to help them by giving them some adjectives in the beginning of the lesson.
Personal focus for this lesson
-Varying my voice.
-I will try to manage the time.
- I will try to control the class.

Reflection
This lesson was my last lesson in this teaching practice.
It was about Dear Zoo story, but I didnt read the story with
them, because we read together before. This lesson was to
encourage the learners to write about different animals with
their adjectives. I did 4 different activities depending on the
student's level. I noticed that, the pupils were having while
they did the activities, and they didnt face problems to do
the activities, because I modelled each activity for the hall
class, before I asked them to start. Further, I used happy
faces, stars, and dogo points to reward the students for
their good behaviours and for their working. The students
were motivated to get dogo points and happy faces. Also, in
this lesson I succeed in managing the time, because I did the
wrap up with the students. However, I feel that I have to
practice more in my English, because I have some mistakes
while I am explaining the lesson. So, in the next time I will
try to reduce my mistakes by practice on my English.
