Slide 2 | Introduce yourself and teach sts how to do the same. After all the sts have
introduced themselves, play a memory game to help sts remember the names of
everyone in the class. Point to a random st and ask “Who’s this?”.
Slide 3 | Ask sts if we use English words in Portuguese. Elicit some examples. Tell sts
that many words we use for food are the same ones as in English. Ask sts to work in
pairs, trying to name the items. Click to show names and tell sts that many times the
pronunciation of these items is different in the two languages. Drill pronunciation of
items.
Slide 4 | Teach sts I like / I don’t like. Move on to slide 5 and ask sts to work in pairs,
saying which items of food they like/don’t like. Elicit from WG which item is the
favourite of the class.
Slide 6 | Tell sts that many animals in English are also similar to Portuguese. Click to
teach the words and pronunciation. Ask sts how the words are different from
Portuguese (spelling, pronunciation).
Slide 7 | Tell sts you’re going to play a game. They are going to see part of an animal
and they have to guess which animal it is. Divide the class into two groups and use
the photo on the screen as an example. Point to the image and ask “ Who am I?” (a
gorilla).
Slides 8-13 | Taking turns, each group is going to guess the animal on the screen.
Click to check.
Slide 15 | Ask sts if they know all the planets in the solar system (allow them to
answer in Portuguese). Click to teach the planets in English. Drill pronunciation.
Slide 16 | Ask sts if they know how to count to ten in English. Click to show how
many planets there are in our solar system.
Slides 18-22 | Ask sts if they remember the names of the planets. This can also be
played as a game. Click to reveal answers.
Slide 23| Ask sts to work in small groups and design their own planets. Encourage sts
