Class description:

The students in this elementary class are between 11 and 12 years old. They are 25 students in each classroom (15 girls and 9 boys in 6to C – 16 girls and 10 boys in 6to D). The class starts at 15:45 in the afternoon, until 16:25 in one of the classrooms. Once the class finish, and after a ten minutes break, the second class starts at 16:35 until 17:15. Usually, students enter to the classroom very excited and noisy since they come from the break. After that it takes more or less 10 minutes to calm them down. Nevertheless, they work very hard and effectively when the activities are

Martínez Wilson – Olivares BelenPractice II presented. One important aspect about this class is that, as they are very young and with a low level of English, they speak in Spanish all the time.

Blackboard, students ‘notebooks, projector, audio system and computer.

Procedures

Warm up

Since we have already presented the verbs used to describe abilities, in this class we will explain the grammatical structures of CAN in the affirmative, negative and interrogative form.

Activity 1

After the grammatical explanation of the auxiliary CAN, we will display with the projector images of different superheroes in order to describe their abilities using the verbs previously introduced.

Activity 2

In order to use the workbook, the next activity will consist of a listening comprehension exercise in which they will have to listen two different situations and try to understand what the characters can / cannot do.

In addition to this, in order to foster speaking skill, we will ask for volunteers to act out the characters in the situations presented.
