DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLASS

Lead-in: (Time 5)
The trainee will show the students several objects (bag, pencils, pens, eraser, etc) and ask
them the names of the objects. The trainee will ask the students if they remember the
structure have got and if they do, she will use it to list the objects.

Learning for today: (Time 5)

The trainee will stick two pictures on the board, one containing one object and another
containing more than one, and she will ask the students what difference they notice
between the first and the second picture. After the difference is localized, the trainee will
explain that we use different words with plural and singular and she will write sentences on
the board. She will also use gestures and her own school objects, signaling and asking the
students to participate, grabbing their objects and telling sentences to the trainee. When
the explanation is done, the trainee will signal an exercise of Grammar in use from the
book, where students have to complete the theory.

sentences the trainee will provide them, but they will not be able to represent the
demonstrative pronouns. For example: if they have the sentence This is my cat., they will
have to represent the words is, my and cat, so their mates will have to guess that the
