Alcune riflessioni Consideriamo 3 tipi di lezione e cerchiamo di trovare - STRONG POINTS - WEAK POINTS

LESSON PLAN A Draw a snail on the board. Identify the main parts of the snail. Get the children to repeat after you. When finished give the children word cues and get them to say the complete sentences. When the class is confident choose individual children to say the sentences. Pairwork: Ask them to repeat the activity in pairs. Go around and listen for mistakes. Correct them if necessary. Writing: write sentences on the board, ask the children to copy them. Or: leave gaps in the sentences and ask the children to complete them.

LESSON PLAN B Give the children instructions to draw a snail. “Start at the center of the page, draw a very small circle...” Describe the snail and ask the children to repeat after you. Repeat the activity until they are confident. Ask them to describe the snail. Ask questions about the snails. Pairwork: ask them to ask and answer questions about the snail they have drawn. Writing: ask children to write down 5, 6 questions about the snail

LESSON PLAN C Organise the class into a semicircle. Show pictures of different type of snails. Describe them. Use lots of gestures and mime to help out. Underline differences in colour, size, shape, etc.

Organise the class in groups of 4 or 5; they are going to create a monster snail, they can use any colours they want, they can make it the shape they want. Appoint a tidy monitor Appoint a noise controller When the children finish ask them to display the snail Ask the children to describe snail. Give them examples.

Choose a pupil to stand by his or her snail an to point to parts of the model while you and the class describe the parts several times. Organise the class into new groups of 4, 5. Each group stands beside the snail. Appoint a teacher for each group. The teachers points to parts, the children have to describe them. Leave the group, leave them time to practise. Encourage them to write 5, 6 sentences on their snails. Allow errors in the first draft.
