Objectives (5 - 10 minutes)

1. Familiarize students with basic vocabulary of domestic animals in English. This includes the names of animals (dog, cat, bird, fish) and some simple characteristics of each.
2. Provide students with the opportunity to practice and repeat the vocabulary in various contexts, developing their listening and speaking skills.
3. Stimulate students' interest in domestic animals and promote an attitude of respect and care towards them.

These objectives will be achieved through interactive and playful activities that encourage active student participation and keep them engaged throughout the lesson.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. To start the lesson, the teacher will review with the students some English words that have been previously learned. This may include colors, numbers, body parts, among others. This review is important to prepare students for the new vocabulary that will be presented.

2. Next, the teacher will present two problem-solving situations that will contextualize the day's learning. The first situation could be: 'Imagine you are visiting a friend's house who speaks English. He has many pets. How could you ask what animals he has and how they are in English?' The second situation could be: 'What if you wanted to tell your foreign friend about your own pet? How would you do that in English?'

3. The teacher will then explain the importance of learning vocabulary in English, especially vocabulary related to animals. He may mention that many stories, movies, and cartoons have animals as characters, and understanding what these characters are saying can make the experience of watching these stories more fun and interesting.

4. To capture students' attention, the teacher can share some fun facts about pets. For example, he can say: 'Did you know that dogs have a very keen sense of smell? They can smell things that are over a mile away! That's why they are so good at finding things, like toys or food.' Or: 'And cats, did you know they have five toes on the front paw, but only four on the back paw? This is called polydactyly.'

5. Finally, the teacher will introduce the topic of the day: pets in English. He may show some images of popular pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and ask the students if they know how these animals are called in English. The teacher should encourage students to make guesses, even if they are not sure, to promote active participation and confidence in learning.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Activity: Find the Animal

   The teacher will prepare large cards with images of different pets in English (dog, cat, bird, fish). Each card will have the name of the animal written in English. In total, there will be 4 cards, each with the image of a pet and its name in English.

   • The teacher will divide the class into groups of 4 to 5 students.
   • He will spread the cards on the floor and the students will have to run and pick the card they think corresponds to the animal the teacher mentioned.
   • The teacher will give a brief description of each animal in English (for example, 'This animal has four legs and likes to play fetch. He is man's best friend.'). Students must listen carefully and try to identify the animal.
   • After all cards are collected, the teacher will ask each group to place the card in front of the group and say the name of the animal in English.

2. Activity: Create Your Own Pet

   • The teacher will ask each group to imagine they can create their own pet.
   • They must draw their animal and give it an English name.
   • The teacher will walk around the room, encouraging students to use the learned vocabulary to describe the animal they created.
   • After all groups finish, each will have the opportunity to present their pet to the class, saying its name in English and some characteristics.

3. Activity: Pet Bingo

   This activity requires some advance preparation. The teacher will create bingo cards for each student with images of different pets in English. He will also create bingo pieces with the same images.

   • The teacher will distribute the bingo cards to the students.
   • Then, he will put the bingo pieces in a bag and start drawing them one by one.
   • Students will have to check if they have the image on their card. If they do, they mark the image with a piece of paper or a marker.
   • The teacher will use this opportunity to review the vocabulary, naming the animal in English when the piece is drawn.
   • The game continues until a student fills their card and shouts 'Bingo!'.

The teacher should choose one or two of the above activities, depending on the available time and students' interest. It is important to remember that the goal of these activities is to allow students to practice the vocabulary of pets in English in a fun and interactive way, promoting active and meaningful learning.

Feedback (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Group Discussion

   After completing the activities, the teacher will gather all students in a large circle for a group discussion. Each group will have the opportunity to share their answers, solutions, and observations from the activities. The teacher will encourage students to explain why they chose a certain animal or how they described their pet. During this discussion, the teacher should focus on correcting any misunderstandings and reinforcing the correct concepts.

2. Connection to Theory

   After the discussion, the teacher will briefly review the main points of the lesson. He will recall the names of pets in English and some simple characteristics of each. The teacher can use the students' drawings and the cards used in the activities as visual aids for this review. He may ask students to point to the drawing of the dog, for example, while asking 'What is this?'. The teacher should ensure that students are understanding and remembering the vocabulary learned.

3. Individual Reflection

   To conclude the lesson, the teacher will propose that students reflect for a minute on what they have learned. He will ask two simple questions to guide this reflection:

   • 'Which pet did you enjoy learning about in English the most and why?'
   • 'How can you use what you learned today to talk about your own pet in English?'

   Students can share their answers with the class if they feel comfortable, or they can just think about them silently.

4. Final Feedback

   The teacher will take advantage of the end of the lesson to give feedback to students on their performance during the lesson. He will praise students' effort, active participation, and ability to work in teams. He will also make observations about areas that may need more attention and practice. The teacher will encourage students to continue practicing the vocabulary of pets in English at home, perhaps by playing a memory game with animal cards or watching an English cartoon with animal characters. He will reinforce that the most important thing is to have fun and keep learning.

Conclusion (5 - 10 minutes)

1. Summary and Recap

   The teacher will start the conclusion of the lesson by summarizing the main points covered during the lesson. He will recall the names of pets in English and some simple characteristics of each. He will also highlight the skills practiced, such as the ability to listen and identify vocabulary in English, and the ability to speak and describe pets in English.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice

   Next, the teacher will explain how the practical activities carried out during the lesson helped solidify the theoretical understanding of the vocabulary of pets in English. He may mention how the 'Find the Animal' game helped students associate the English words with the images, while the 'Create Your Own Pet' activity allowed them to apply the learned vocabulary in a creative way. The Bingo game, in turn, reinforced listening and vocabulary identification.

3. Extra Materials

   The teacher may suggest some extra materials for students to practice at home. This may include educational websites with interactive games in English, English vocabulary apps for children, or even English books or cartoons with animal characters. He may also encourage students to practice the vocabulary in English with their parents or siblings at home, asking them to describe the family pet in English, for example.

4. Importance of Vocabulary of Pets in English

   Finally, the teacher will emphasize the importance of the vocabulary of pets in English in everyday life. He may explain that, besides being useful for talking to English-speaking friends or watching TV shows in English, the vocabulary of pets can also be useful in other situations. For example, if a student is traveling to an English-speaking country, they may want to know how to say 'dog' or 'cat' in English if they encounter one on the street. Additionally, the vocabulary of pets can be a fun introduction to broader topics, such as the different habitats of animals or the different breeds of dogs and cats.

5. Closure

   The teacher will end the lesson on a positive note, praising students' effort and participation. He will remind everyone that learning a new language can be challenging, but also very fun. He will encourage students to continue practicing the vocabulary of pets in English and promise to bring more fun English learning activities to future lessons.
