2. This Lesson Plan is designed for 1st Grade of Primary
Education. For this reason, it is important to adapt a
specific methodology for our students in order to meet the
three stages in learning (MMM):
• Meeting new language
• Manipulating new language
• Making the language your own

3. The activities are attractive enough to get
children’s attention and promote classroom
communication providing the learners with
situations that engage them in their leaning
process.

4. In this Lesson Plan students will:
• Identify and recognise the main parts of a
flower (flower, petals, pollen, stem, leaves
and roots).
• Follow instructions to label a flower.
• Listen to and to sing a song (The parts of a
flower song).
