2. · Teaching approach or combination of methods / approaches:
Τhis plan follows the PPP (Presentation, practice, production) approach, which is integrated
with a CLIL (content and language integrated learning) approach, because the students learn
the topics in a coherent and meaningful context.
· Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
Speaking is integrated constantly in the class, through role-plays or Q&A exercises. Listening is
integrated through a song and the teacher´s instructions and questions, in L2 all the time.
Reading is integrated through reading comprehension. Writing is integrated in the end.
· Materials and resources: computer, speaker, copies for the students.
· Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: the students watch a video for the
routine and presentation stages. A prezi was created. It will be downloaded before the
class. A blog was created to work at home and do homework.
· Seating arrangement: the students sit on two people desks.
· Possible problems / difficulties and possible solutions during the class: I will
download videos before the class because there isn´t internet connection. If my computer
doesn´t work, I will use the board. Another problem in this class and school is the students´
lack of attendance. The warm-up and revision are very important at the beginning of the
lesson, as well as the blog to practise at home if they cannot attend the lessons.
· Assessment: what will be assessed and how: the students´ pronunciation, listening
and speaking will be assessed through songs and getting the students to talk to each other;
grammar and vocabulary will be assessed through writing activities and games.

Key facts: THE FALKLANDS WAR
On 2 April 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, a remote UK colony in the South Atlantic.
It caused a short but terrible war, which didn´t have good results for Argentina.
Argentina's military junta didn´t like the situation and wanted to re-establish its support at a time
of economic crisis, by reclaiming sovereignty of the islands. Galtieri said the Islands didn´t belong
to Great Britain because they were close to South America.
The UK, which had ruled the islands for 150 years, didn´t stay calm and quickly started a fight.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said the 1,800 Falklanders were "of British tradition and stock".
Thatcher sent a mission force to reclaim the islands, 8,000 miles away.
In the fighting that followed, 655 Argentine, 255 British servicemen and three Falkland Islanders
lost their lives, Thatcher didn´t show compassion so she was called ´The iron lady´.

5. 4. T asks the students to write sentences in the negative form.
T: Make negative sentences about The Malvinas war.
Example:
Argentinian soldiers / not go / to Britain. Argentinian soldiers didn´t go to Britain.
1. Galtieri/not/like/the situation.
2. Thatcher/not/want/Argentinians/on the islands.
3. The islands/not/belong/to Britain.
4. Thatcher/not/show compassion.
Transition: Now it´s time to give our opinion!
CLOSURE (5´)
Purpose: to check the students´ understanding of the topics studied today.
5. T asks the students what THEY think about the Malvinas war. T tells them they have to
give their opinion about the war to their partner. (5´).
T: Now you are going to say what you think about the war. Give your opinion to your
partner. Here you have some ideas (T shows a prezi slide):
The Malvinas war was necessary/good/bad/terrible.
I didn´t like the war because (reason, for example: soldiers died)
I liked/didn´t like Galtieri and the military junta.
I liked/didn´t like Thatcher and the British government.
I liked the war because (reason, for example: it was necessary to fight.)
T walks around and monitors the speaking task.
Transition: Fantastic! Finally, homework!
HOMEWORK (2´)
Purpose: to continue practising the contents at home.
T explains to the students that they have to play some games for homework. The have to
enter the blog, play games and answer some questions using WAS and WERE.
T: For homework, enter the blog, you can watch some videos about Malvinas, do some
REVISION about the past simple and then you have to answer some questions about
yourself, OK?

Observations Nice lesson! You will work on facts, interculturality, using grammar in a meaningful
context.
Students might ask for more details and your own personal opinion as a teacher of

Have a lovely and patriotic lesson!
