My Favourite Animal by kierandonaghy
This lesson is based on a beautiful animated short film My Favourite Animal by Lara Lee , another short promotional film for the World Wildlife Fund The World is Where we Live. The lesson practises animal vocabulary, listening and speaking. It works particularly well with younger learners, but is also suitable for older learners. Step 1 Warmer As a warmer to introduce the theme of animals, tell your students they are going to do an animal A-Z. Ask one student to name an animal which begins with the letter A, then the next student has to name an animal beginning with the letter etc. until you've done the whole alphabet. Help students with more difficult letters. Step 2 Ask your students what vocabulary they know related to different parts of animals. Elicit this vocabulary. Pre-teach vocabulary which is the same for animals and humans. For example: skin legs arms head face ears nose mouth eyes Give some vocabulary which is used just for animals. For example: fur tail mane hoofs udders fin trunk beak wings pouch Step 3 Describe your favourite animal to your students using vocabulary in Step 2 but without naming the animal, they have to guess the animal. Put your students into pairs and tell them to describe their favourite animal without naming it. Step 4 Tell your students they are going to listen to 3 children describing their favourite animals. Ask them to listen and write down the name of the animal and any words they understand which the child uses to describe the animal. Play the video with no images, so don't turn the projector on. After listening ask your students to compare their answers.
