Lesson Plan
February 2015
Introduction: The following lesson plan belongs to the unit Clothes and it refers to a
lesson that would take place in the late afternoon, at 16.30h. At this point, students would
have just finished the unit My Body. They would have already learnt the new words for
body parts (they would have cut and glued the body parts in their notebooks and they
would have already written the names of some body parts in their notebooks).
Class: 3rd year
Topic: Clothes
Lesson number: 1
Time: 60 min
Aims
Learning
objectives
Assumptions
As this is the 1st lesson in the unit Clothes, students have already learnt the body parts and
they have previously studied the colours.
Difficulties expected
- It may be difficult to complete all the lesson steps in 60 minutes as students may get too
excited describing the pictures in step 4 and may ask further questions about other cultures
and habits.
- Besides, students may have some difficulty in explaining their daily routines in English due
to some lack of vocabulary, so the teacher may accept the use of L1.
- Finally, as the lesson will take place at the end of the day, students might be tired and less
participative. So, step 5 was included to give students an opportunity to relax and play in
small groups. However, if there is not enough time, this last step may be omitted.

The students paint the clothes in the closet.
Teacher shows the self-assessment cards (students are already
familiar with the cards as they have been using them since the
beginning of the school year): What did we do today? (listen,
read, write, speak, cut, glue, colour); How did I behave during
the class? (sunshine; cloudy; rainy; stormy) Did I need help to
complete the tasks? (always, sometimes, never) Did I enjoy the
activities? (happy face, normal face, sad face)
Clean up song (see materials, web pages) while students pack
their schoolbags to go home and clean up the classroom.
