It was whole class activity
We listened to the different sounds of the animals first. I asked the students in pairs to discuss and say the name of the animal and how their babies called. For example: it is a horse and its baby is foal. For each correct answer they got one point.
Adapted activity
To get more interested in the text and to get more encouraged.
I divided students into 2 groups and gave different animal’s pictures to the students and ask them to group them according to their classification (reptiles, mammals, amphibians ) and make a poster. Then students in groups came to the middle of the class with their posters and presented them to classmates.
Interaction patterns – Tick () to show how learners will work at each stage.
