in their notebooks.

d) Resources: Microsoft Teams, pictures

e) Interactions: T-Ss, Ss-T

f) Possible problems: Ss may find it difficult to identify the exact two words for the lesson titles and

extra hints and questions to guide their discovery.

Objective 1:

a) Lesson stage: Presentation

b) Estimated time: 5 minutes

c) Activity/Class organisation:
The teacher shows the children flashcards with characters (a penguin, a reindeer, a snowman, etc),

centre, etc) and askes the Ss to pronounce the new words.

d) Resources: Microsoft Teams, flashcards

b) Estimated time: 10 minutes
c) Activity/Class organisation:
The teacher shows the Ss a PowerPoint presentation game in which they need to name the missing

them. The teacher might ask a different classmate to offer support and help with the correct answer.

Objective 3:

a) Lesson stage: Practice

b) Estimated time: 10 minutes

c) Activity/Class organisation:
The teacher shows the Ss a PowerPoint presentation game – “What’s in the box?” in which they need to
read clues about the target word and identify it correctly. The class will be divided into two teams and
each participant in the teams will read a clue and then make an assumption about the word that might be
hidden in the virtual box.

d) Resources: Microsoft Teams, PowerPoint game

e) Interactions: T-Ss, Ss-T, Ss-Ss

f) Possible problems: Some students might be in a hurry to make a guess before collecting enough

the correct word.

b) Estimated time: 15 minutes

c) Activity/Class organisation:
The teacher shows the Ss Appendix 1 and asks them to copy it on their own notebooks. The teacher and
Ss will complete the grid together in order to have 6 characters, 6 actions and 6 places written down.
After the table is complete, the Ss will roll a virtual dice 3 times and make up a funny sentence
accordingly (eg: The name of the first character + the third action + the fifth place), without writing them
on their notebooks.

d) Resources: Microsoft Teams, Appendix 1, https://www.random.org/dice

 e) Interactions: T-Ss, Ss-T

f) Possible problems: Some students might not remember all 6 characters/actions/places needed for
completing their grid. The teacher will encourage them to help each other and will also provide some of
the answers if needed.

Homework: Estimated time: 2 min

As homework, Ss will have to write 5 sentences using the given grid for roll-a-story.
