In addition, I will pay special attention to students´ work and participation during the whole class.

Routine ( 10 min)

I will get in to the class, and greet my students. As always, I will say: “Good morning. How are you

today?” EA: Hello, fine.

After greeting my students, I will ask: “Did you do the homework? EA: yes. Then, I will name three

different students to answer the questions. In order to name students, I will say numbers and I will

check how they are by looking their order in the list. I will ask them to come to the blackboard and

write their answers there.

Then, I will ask to the class: Any doubts? Are your answers the same? EA: I expect students to tell

me if their answers are OK and if they have any doubts.

Warm up (6 min)

I will show students the following photos and ask them: Who are them? I expect students to say

“workers” T: Good, they are workers. But are they teachers? Doctors? Taxi drivers? EA: no. T:

Good. They are oil workers.

Then, I will write on: What do you think, is this job safe? As this is a very common work in our city,

and some of their fathers work in oil companies, I expect students to give their opinions.

Presentation (5 min)

In order to present the activity and to review the use of Present Continuous to talk about

arrangements, I will say: “Nowadays, all companies hire a safety officer who is the one who cares

about the safety of all the workers. Now, Look. This is Ben. He is a safety officer. (I will display this

image on the blackboard, write, his name, and his job)

BEN – SAFETY OFICER

After that, I will show them Ben´s diary for the following week and write: Ben is meeting the safety

manager on Monday, at 9.30. They are discussing the safety report. ( I will write the diary on a

poster, so that is bigger than the photocopy).

Transition: Let´s work with Ben´s diary.

Observations Minimum score: 21 / 35 Score: _22___ /35 = 6.5 Dear Gisela, You are worried about timing, but do not rush through the lesson. Remember you adhere to a communicative approach, thus you should encourage students to communicate meaningfully. For further lesson plans, pay special attention to learning aims –they should be related to the skills that students will develop. As well as this, try to present homework correction as a valid and interesting part of the learning process. Check understanding and model the activities. Have a nice lesson! Your tutors
