Animals And Their Physical CharacteristicsMelisa Cardenas Trujillo

Public: This blog is addressed to children in third grade, They are kids between eight and nine years old.

Environment and Methodology The English level of the school depends of the grade: third graders are A1 and they have 3 hours of English classes per week. In the previous classes that I have been with them, they are really motivated to learn English in compare with other grades, and I want to increase that trough a topic that they really like, the animals.

Resources This blog will be face to face because not all the students have internet access at home, but at the school we have all the technology access, we have a video beam in each classroom, with speakers, and each teacher have an own computer. The blog will include a presentation in power point when they can find some animals with the vocabulary, songs with the lyrics, grammar functions and games Students will develop competence in knowledge and interaction with the physical world by recognizing, describing and guessing familiar animals.
