INTRODUCTION

The model that I have used for this lesson planning is the model proposed

by Pérez Esteve, P and Roig Estruch, V in “Enseñar y aprender inglés en

educación infantil y primaria” (2004) vol. II. Ice Horsori, Barcelona.

This lesson planning is focus on childern aged from 4 to 5 and it is centred

in the story of the Lion and the Mouse, focus on animal vocabulary and

friendship.

At the end of the sessions, I have added some didactic materials to develop

the lessons and a picture dictionary that could help the children to make the

activities.

At the beginning of the lesson we must to welcome the children: Hello children! or

Good morning children!. Normally, children will answer you Hello! Then we can take

register with the help of our students, saying: Everybody is here today? Carolina, are

you here today? Yes, you are here. Hello Carolina! Manuel, are you here? Manuel…

Oh! Manuel isn’t here today.

2. Introducing our new friends (10 minutes)

Now, we can introduce our new friends. Children we have a new friend. Then, when

they have looking to us, we can take out slowly the first finger puppet: the lion. Hello,

what’s your name? Children, come on! What is your name? We must encourage to our

learners to ask the name to our new friend. My name is Lion. Hello Lion! We can

change our voice to make it ruder. I am a lion and I have a friend. Yes I have a friend,

he is the mouse. He is here with me, but he is very shy. We must call him to he come

here. Everybody! Mouse, mouse… We take out the mouse slowly. Hello mouse.

3. Telling the story (15 minutes)

Now, we are going to tell the story when the mouse and the lion met. We can make a

performance of the story, use the same paper finger puppets, animal flashcards or big

flashcards with the scenes of the story (I add this materials at the end) to tell it.

It is important when we are telling the story to change our voices depending on the

characters. As children know this character, we can start with the first scene directly. It

is important too, to emphasizing and repeat the actions and perform it to children can

understand what is happening. We can make sounds of the scenes like the roar of the

lion.

We can make a lot of gestures than can help to our children to understand the story: The

lion was sleeping (we can put our hands together under our face). Please, forgive me

King (we can put our hands together performing to regret)

4. Let’s go to act out the story (10 minutes)

Children know to the characters and their story. Now they are able to represent the

scenes. We can repeat the story again. A child will be the lion and another will be the

mouse. This is an interesting activity because they are listening the story while they are

acting. They must know what is happening in each moment to perform

The lion likes the idea and he let the mouse go. One day, the little mouse was looking for food in the forest when he hear a loud roar behind the bush. He decided to go to see what happened.

He saw the lion caught in a trap. “Hello my friend, Finally, the mouse and the lion become great can I help you?” said the little mouse. “Yes, please” friends. said the lion. The mouse bit the trap with his teeth.

5. Let’s do activities (15 minutes)

In the following activities we are going to introduce some new friends to our children (a

pig, a cat and a dog). Before they start to work we should introduce the new animals

using flashcards, pictures, etc.

We can introduce them by continuing the story: One day, the lion and the mouse were

walking by the road and they find with a pig who was lost (we show the pig’s flashcard

and put on the blackboard). The lion and the mouse helped to the pig and they became

friends. The following day, the three friends (the lion, the mouse and the pig) where

wolking by the road and they find a cat and a dog. They were very bored. The lion, the

mouse, the pig, the cat and the dog stared to play toguether and they become friends. At

the same time, we can perform the scene.

When we have introduced the new friends, we can distribute the worksheet number 1 &

2 (one per student) and ask them to colour and write in the worksheet number 1 and to

match the names with the pictures in worksheet number 2.
