Example of Tasks and Activities

Here you got some examples of tasks and activities for the Unit:

Post-listening activity.

After telling the story, students will be organized in groups of three students. Each group will be given a worksheet with pictures of the story in random order and sentences in strips of paper. Students can check the book if they need some help. There is also a model in the blackboard. Students will have to match the stripes of paper with each picture. Then, they will put the pictures in order in the blackboard according to the days of the week. Finally, the students will read the vocabulary they know and the vocabulary they have learnt using appropriate intonation. While the students are doing the activity, I will go round the class monitoring and guiding them.

Timing: 20 minutes.

Practice activity. Fill in the gaps.

I will give the students a worksheet with drawings and the song´s lyrics. They fill in the gap with the right word while listening to the song. Each gap starts with the initial letter of the word. This activity will reinforce the practice of the written form. The students also have a model of the vocabulary (word cards) in a corner in the classroom.

Timing: 15 minutes.

Individual work

Worksheet with drawings and the song´s lyrics. Flashcards and word cards

Presentation activity. Colour, cut and punch a hole. 

The students have to retell the story. First, I give them patterns of different food that appear in the story. They have to reorder, colour, cut and punch a hole according to the story. This activity will reinforce the vocabulary and grammatical structures while they are creating an alternative version of the book.

Timing: 10 minutes.

Small groups

Warm-up activity. 

The students are divided in groups of three students in each group. I give them cards of food that are repeated twice. They place them face down and try to find the pairs of cards that are the same. To complete the task they have to pronounce the vocabulary while guessing the cards.

Timing: 15 minutes.
