| STAGE | E | S | A | TARGET LANGUAGE | TEACHER | STUDENT | MATERIALS | TIME | TEACHER’S EVALUATION |
| -- | -- | Hands back the past two homework assignments to Ss and collects HW#11 | gives and receives | homework # 9, 10, and 11 | 2 min | Not gonna have time to review them before class. | |
| E | Animals | Draws 15 flashcards with different animals. Elicit the names. Write them on w/b and drill pronunciation. | Responds with laughter. | Animal Flashcards | 10 min | Worked well. | |

Models the game. | Responds | copy of animal flashcards labeled with numbers | 20 min | This worked well. Seemed like some Ss were able to see the animal through the paper and took advantage of the cheating opportunity. 8X11 sheets are too big and posed a logistical problem. | |
| E | animals | Draws a network tree with “animals” at the center and five empty bubbles sprouting from it. Elicits animal vocabulary from Ss and arranges the responses into categories [1]. Elicits the classes. | Shouts out the animal names they’ve diligently memorized over the past two weeks. | whiteboard, markers | 7 min | Chose to distinguish only between land and sea, which may have lacked and redeeming educational value. | |
| E/S | demonstrative adjectives | Introduces the theme language using classroom objects to demonstrate (i.e., this pen, that pen …) by placing the object near and far away.
