4 ANIMALS Introduction Mission 5 is centered on a story in which our superheroes help each other out in a wild environment. The story demonstrates the benefit of social values like harmony, solidarity and respect, and provides context for our expression of the unit, Be careful! Wild animals is a topic that will immediately draw students’ interest, as it is both exciting and relevant to children of this age. Kids see wild animals every day, in toys, stories and films, and in our first mission, we’ll give them the opportunity to build on their knowledge by learning the English names of nine animals in a zoo. We’ll also present students with a song that works on all the language relevant to this subject, including adjectives and colours. Students will gradually memorise this song, thus consolidating new vocabulary in a way that’s both didactic and fun. Be careful! also appears in Mission 6, a cultural lesson that takes place in London Zoo. In the CLIL section, students will get to practise with body part and colour vocabulary, learning to classify chickens, ducks and parrots along the way. In the ‘I can’ section, students will evaluate how far they’ve advanced through a series of listening and reading comprehension exercises that further reinforce the unit’s main vocabulary and grammar. Through listening and drills, students will also get to work on their pronunciation and grammar. In Missions 3 and 4, we’ll be working with the structures There is and Is there...?, which are especially useful when talking about the world that surrounds us. The “I can” section is part of the Portfolio. Have students work on their portfolios so that they can evaluate their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in “My Language Biography” section of the Portfolio. OUTLINE OF THE UNIT Animals bear, crocodile, elephant, giraffe, lion, monkey, snake, tiger, zebra, chicken, duck, parrot Numbers 11-20 Expressions Be careful!

Then, practise saying the numbers backwards. Chant the numbers from 1 to 10, then 10 to 1 as a group. PB 2 Say it! CD2 FC PB 2 Point to the zebra flashcard and ask: Is this a zebra?

The students answer: It isn’t a book. It’s a pen. Recommended Extra Activities PB 3 Sing and clap! CD2 3&4 PB • Activity Book p. 30 First, play the audio and get students to listen. • Fast Finishers: Have students create their own zoo picture with the vocabulary from the mission and then get them to practise in pairs (Is this a zebra? No, it isn’t / Yes, it is). Then play the song again, getting students to act out the actions of the animals as they sing. Teacher Tips • The pronunciation of crocodile is difficult. Unlike in Spanish, the ‘r’ in English is in the first syllable. Break it into 3 parts: “croc-o-dail”. • The word elephant begins with the vowel ’e’ so it must be preceded by an, not a: It’s an elephant. • In English animals aren’t normally he or she. Use it unless the animal is a pet! • Your students can gain further practice with the vocabulary and numbers by tracing the words when they appear in the skyline and the numbers at the bottom of each page. When a student successfully completes all the exercises in a mission, have them place a gold or silver sticker at the bottom of the page to indicate their progress. 94 Why? To increase oral ability, pronunciation and comprehension of zoo animals. Objective in Focus 2 • DRILL CD2 3 What? Name the animals from the ‘Sing and clap!’ Why?

Say an animal, for example Tiger, and the student then has to form a positive, negative or question statement, depending on what the teacher instructs: Positive: There’s a tiger. Negative: There isn’t a tiger. Question: Is there a tiger? Use plenty of mime to help them understand. Rewind • Colour dictation: the children have 20 seconds to draw what you say. A red elephant.

Practise the new bird vocabulary with questions. Why? So that forming questions becomes something natural and easy, instead of a challenge. How? Do a ‘Master the question’ drill. Say the answer, stressing the key part, so that the students then need to think about what the question could be and ask it, for example: TEACHER: Yes, it’s a chicken. STUDENT: Is this a chicken? Cooperative Back to Basics • learning Review the numbers 1-20 by going round at random in a circle, each saying a different number but with no repetition allowed!

Objective in Focus 2 • What? Drilling This is a alongside the new vocabulary bird, chicken, parrot, duck. Why? Assimilating the correct use of This is a in the singular and to reinforce the more natural use of it in the second part of the sentence. How? Draw a chicken, a duck, a parrot and a dog on the board. Then point at each diagram saying another word out loud, for example point at the chicken but saying parrot. The student then needs to reply: This isn’t a parrot, it’s a chicken. When you point at the dog say bird so the students can practise the word bird. Sing and clap • PB CD2 3 Cooperative learning Test students to see how much they remember of the song. Then play the audio and have everyone sing together. Game – Animal Misfits • Cooperative learning Get the students into groups of three. Give each group a piece of paper folded into three parts. The first student of each group has to draw a head of an animal and colour it in any colour they want and then fold it so their team mates don’t see it. A tiny bit needs to be visible so the next student knows where to continue the drawing. Student 2 has to draw a body and colour it in whatever colour they wish, again leaving an indicator to Student 3 of where to draw the legs and colour them in. The group then need to present their animal describing it, for example, This is a lion. The head is red, the body is blue and the legs are pink.

The student should take the object from you, pretend to inspect it and reply saying, This isn’t a parrot, it’s a rubber. Make this as fun an exercise as possible and have the students get creative in their responses, perhaps pretending to use magnifying glasses or scratching their chins. Then have a couple of students be the teacher. They should continue the drill and go around the classroom asking if certain objects are animals. 39 Cooperative Translation Challenge • I CAN: Objectives • Review the classroom objects and the animal and bird vocabulary. • Review the numbers 11-20. • Review Is this a…?

Repeat this with different students, or brainstorm 9 other animals you can find in your local area and write them on the board ready to play the game ‘Full House’. Once you have done this, distribute Class Material Worksheet 2 (My Autonomous Community) and have the students fill in the eight squares with four numbers (from 1-20) and four of the animals on the board.
