Date of lesson plan: Tuesday, August, 30th 2016.
Topic: Family members
Teachers' name: Nicole Hernandez
                        Yansi Hernandez
Skill: Vocabulary


This was the first time working with children, the skill taught was vocabulary and my classmates Nicole and Yansi had to break the ice to teach children. Teachers asked students to stand up and say their name passing around a sponge bob square pants teddy. The activity was actually great students enjoy it and they were having fun. Once the activity was done, they asked students to write their names in a piece of paper and paste it in their chest.

In next stage, teacher Nicole presented the target vocabulary about family members, she used flashcards and asked students to repeat after her. She used mimics to  present the vocabulary as well, so that it could be easier for students to remember the words. After that, teacher Yansi and Nicole provide students the flashcards and labels related to the vocabulary so they could look for the person who had the corresponding word and the picture.

The following activity consisted in singing a song using the family members, teacher Nicole started the song so that students could repeat it. I consider it would have been better to bring a poster with the lyrics so that students could follow them, since at the end the activity did not result in the way they expected to.

In the last stage, teachers provided students six different images and a poster of a tree, so that students could order and do the family tree. It was a really great activity, the size of the poster was big enough and the images as well so that students could work better.
