Lesson Development (15-20mins approx)Lesson phase 3(The key section of the lesson. Children are given the opportunity to make personal sense of the material theyhave encountered, information becomes learning. Time needs to be spent on activities and tasks that enable thelearners to manipulate and interrogate information in order to make sense of it.)

Tape is played again. This time the children need to match an animal to thesound. After each sound the tape is stopped and some suggestions are takenfrom the class and the teacher writes a list on the blackboard as to what thechildren think. The children are given the opportunity to explain why they thinkthat.

Resources

Focus of teacher interactions during learning phase(Plan and describe what the teacher will do or who the teacher will work with once all the children have settled to complete theirtasks)
