T Gabriela Callejas started the class with an interesting activity. She asked Ss to stand up and form a circle. She gave a bottle of water to the first students. Ss put the bottle between their arms and they passed it to the person next to them but without touching it with their hands. The student who let the bottle fell down were the ones who answer teacher’s questions.

The next stage was performed by T Carlos. He presented the vocabulary that Ss will listen in the audio. He had some pictures in flashcards. While he showed them to the Ss he was explaining the concepts, practicing pronunciation, and giving examples and actions to clarify the meaning. He interacted with the Ss by asking them to mimic the word.

T Guillermo did the During- listening task. He provided students some pieces of paper with the sentences that were in the listening. He played the audio the first time. Ss had to order the phrases while they listened. In the second time he played the audio Ss had the chance to check if their answer were correct, if no they could change them. After that, he read the sentences to check if their Ss had the correct order.

In the post-, T Gabriela Rodriguez gave Ss a worksheet. She played the second part of the audio and Ss had to listen in the first time. In the second time Ss had to circle the statement if there were true or false.  The last track help Ss to check if their sentences were correct. T asked Ss to share their answer aloud, she could check their answers and give the correct one.

In the wrap-up, T Gabriela C. asked Ss to make a line and played the game called “sea and ground”. If she said aloud the word sea Ss had to move to the space where the word was pasted in the floor, but if she said ground Ss moved to the other space that was the ground. The Ss who commit a mistake when moving to the different spaces had to say the corresponding word of the picture T showed him/her.

Let's see the video of the activity:

This activity was really nice. Students could learned many useful vocabulary from the listening and they could develop more their listening skills.
