Class description:There are twenty-five students in this group between 10 and 11 years-old. They have English classes twice a week, for 40 minutes on Wednesdays and 35 minutes on Fridays. They have started studying English in 5th year. They come to classes after the break both times, usually with lots of energy but when they are assigned tasks they calm down and work effectively.

Main aim:By the end of the lesson the students will be able to talk and write about their personal information and answer wh-questions.

Subsidiary aim:

1. Revise the verb “to be” as well as the verbs in the present simple form.2. Revise some vocabulary.

Personal aims:

I expect to create a rapport with the students and that they understand me when I explain the topic.

Timetable fit:

In the last lessons, the students have been assessed about the previous unit (Professions) and in the very last one they reviewed about it as well as the verb “To be”, which will continue using in this unit.

Materials:

1. Board and board markers and chalk.

2. ID cards made of construction paper of different colours.


Anticipated problems:

1. If some students do not come to the lesson, there will be an odd number for the “wheel”.

2. A noisy environment which may make this difficult for us to be listened to.

Possible solutions:

1. My partner will take part in the “wheel” if necessary.

2. I will do my best to speak louder and clearer.

Procedures:
