Group work

Now we will work in groups. We have 3 groups. They are: snow leopard, golden eagle, strong bear.

Let’s remember what types of animals there are.

Animals can live not far from the people. We call them «Domestic animals»

Animals can live in the forest. We call them «Wild animals».

Also there are endangered animals.

Now we will work in groups. The first group will write domestic animals, the second group wild animals and the third group will write endangered animals.

Describe animals

1. size, shape and colour

2. where they live

3. what they eat

Additional information

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Critical thinking

• Provide support to less able learners while they have pair discussion.

• While matching cards with types of natural disasters, less able learners are given translations, more able – definitions in English.

• While listening, more able learners will answer the questions and complete the table; less able learners will be given options to complete the table.

• Speaking is assessed while observing pair discussion, common mistakes could be highlighted after the activity;

• Listening is assessed according to the marking scheme: 8 out of 10 answers should be correct;

• Home work will be assessed next lesson according to the criteria;

Learners work in groups or pairs, apply skills and knowledge to a practical and cooperative task, and produce their own materials. All of these lesson features reflect values as suggested in the Trilingual Implementation Strategy, and correlate with the aims of critical and creative thinking, and effective communication set out in the Subject Programme for G7 English.
