Beginning 5 min (W) | Greet the learners. The learners do the role-play of a mini-teacher. Choose one learner and tell him/her to ask daily questions (e.g. What date is it today? What’s the weather like today? How are you? etc.) Then ask the learners to read the aims of the lesson and think what they are going to do at the lesson. | PPT Slide 1 |
5 min (W/P) | Pre-listening Learners watch the presentation and repeat the words. The learners are to ask questions if they don’t understand the words. | PPT Slides 2-12 |

After watching the video, ask the learners if they enjoyed the story of the tortoise and the hare and why. Ask if they liked the ending. Ask the learners to discuss the questions in pairs.

They ask 3 questions each and give 3 answers each. The assessing learner marks the answered questions on the card.

For students that are more able: they can be asked more than 3 questions and their answers can have more details and descriptions. | Video Assessment Sheet 1 |

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners? | Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning? | Health and safety check |
