TOPIC

Wild Animals

CONTEXT

·    This session is intended for students P5

·    The students have been learning domestic and farm animals in the previous term so they are already aware of the topic. They also have worked where do they live and why. In this case, wild animals are these ones who live in nature. They have been adapted to make survive in their own environment. Also, they can’t live in our homes because they are dangerous for humans so they are unpredictable.

CONTENT OBJECTIVES

2.    Work in collaborative groups and solve activities

3.    Participate in activities that require critical thinking.

4.    Participate in activities requiring ICT knowledge.

LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL

- Pre Listening

First the students will play a memory game based on the wild animals that they are going to work later on during the session. After the game, the teacher is going to have time to ask them if they have ever seen one of them anywhere, how do they look like, if they were eating in that moment, etc. in order to share knowledge and encourage them to express themselves from their own experiences.

- Listening

As a second activity, the teacher will present a YouTube video of the wild animals where students have to listen actively in order to be able to complete the next activity.

- Post listening

Finally, as an ending activity, students have to complete the worksheet by circling those animals who are wild.
