Warm up
The class is divided into groups of four people. The teacher gives each team some pieces of
a jigsaw puzzle and instructs them to assemble the puzzle as quickly as possible. The group
who assembles the puzzle first, yells out the name of the occupation in the picture:
“FARMER”.
Clarifying
Learners observe the teacher as he/she distributes cards with the activities farmers do at the
farm and the pictures representing each activity. Learners listen to the teacher saying, for
example, “A farmer grows vegetables and fruit.” Then, the learners with the sentence
(card) and the corresponding image run to the front. The rest of the class decides if the
answer is correct.
Learners play “charades”. Volunteer students go to the front of the class and pick up a
flashcard with a picture and phrase of an activity done at the farm. The teacher shows the
flashcard to the students and he/she performs the action seen on the flashcard. The rest of
the class guesses the activity.
Script:
Hi mom! How is dad? I’m so excited of being at the farm. My cousin Ericka is always busy, but
she takes me everywhere she goes, and I help her to do her chores. We wake up early in the
morning to milk the cows. I love Anabelle, the cow, and she gives a lot of milk. Then, we go to
pick up the eggs. Aunt Lilly has many hens and chickens. They are so noisy! After breakfast,
Ericka and I go to the field and help the uncle to plant seeds and pick up fruit. That’s my favorite
part of the day because I get to eat delicious apples. Later in the afternoon, we water the plants
and finally we have dinner and go to bed early.
I miss you, but I’m having so much fun here that I’m going to stay a little bit longer, if you don’t
mind. Love ya! Kiss!
Task assessment
The teacher sticks around the classroom the flashcards used during the modeling stage.
The teacher describes the flashcards one by one. Students listen to the teacher’s
description and point at the pictures.
The whole class assesses their achievement of the goal
Using a power point presentation or flashcards previously used, the teacher presents
vocabulary and expressions used at the farm and asks learners to repeat after him/her. For
example,
A uses to
A uses to
A uses a to
Some volunteers go to the front and create sentences orally using the flashcards as
stimulus. The rest of the class provides help to their peers if necessary.
The class is divided into pairs, and the teacher continues playing with the flashcards,
inviting learners to produce sentences.
Task completion
The learners get the handout below:
Learners circle three of the tools the farmer uses in his/her work. The class is divided into
two groups. Each groups lines up (one in front of the other) and then learners take turns to
talk briefly to their peer at the front about what a farmer uses to work on the farm. The
teacher monitors learners’ performance and encourages them to produce complete
sentences.
Task assessment
Students play “Hot Potato”. The teacher plays music, when the music stops, the teacher asks
a question to the student who has “the potato”. The question is based on the previous
activity. For example, what does a farmer use for watering the plants? What does the farmer
use for collecting eggs?
Learners work on self and peer assessment. Whole class assesses their achievement of the
goal
Possible sentences:
The farmer grows carrots
My sister collects the eggs

Warm up
The teacher sticks the picture of a Farmer’s Market on the board and asks learners if
they remember what the picture represents. Then, the teacher explains that in today’s
class, they are going to read the poem “At the farmer’s market” by Buffy Silverman.
The learners listen to the teacher reading the poem, and they join the reading.
Activation of prior knowledge
Learners watch the video “At Mega Farmer’s Market in Costa Rica” (0:58 – 9:34 min)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCW_Tce9nCo. As learners watch the video, they
are asked to recall all the kinds of food they see. Then, they brainstorm those words as a
whole class while teacher writes them down on the board.
Modeling
The teacher explains that at the Farmer’s Market people can find fresh produce such as
fruit, vegetables, greens, dairy products, seafood and meat. The teacher presents some
flashcards to illustrate the kinds of food found at the farmer’s market. The pictures are
in different stands all over the board (simulating a farmer’s market). The teacher shows
the different kids of food and invites learners to remember the name of those products.
As learners remember the vocabulary, the teacher writes the name of the product next to
the corresponding picture.
The teacher sets up a table with different products found at the farmer’s market, and
then he/she explains the difference between countable and uncountable nouns:
For example, “I can count the apples: one apple, two apples, three apples, etc. I can
count the oranges: I have three big oranges. But I can’t count milk. I can’t say: “I need
three milks. I have to say: “I need some milk, or I need three bottles of milk. When I go
to the farmer’s market, I can buy products, and to do so I can say: “I want…… (four
green mangoes), I need three pineapples. I need some cheese.
The teacher writes two headings on the board: Countable and Noncountable and gives
each pair of students a set of countable and uncountable noun cards. The students
shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile on the table. Students then take it
in turns to turn over a noun card and place it under a countable or uncountable noun
heading. When the students have finished, the teacher elicits the correct answers from
the class. Then, the whole class is asked to make meaningful sentences using “I
want…. , I need…”
Clarifying
The teacher spreads the cards used in the modeling activity on the floor and divides the
class into two groups. One group is asked to look for the cards representing food we can
count, and the other group looks for food we cannot count. The learners stick the cards
on the board in the corresponding column. Feedback is provided by peers.
Learners get a worksheet in which they must classify countable and noncountable kinds
of food into the corresponding column. Learners compare their answers in pairs. Then,
those images are used to practice saying: “I want… I need…”
Instructions:
These are foods that farmers sell at the Farmer’s Market. Some of them are countable and some
are uncountable. Classify them into the corresponding column.
Countable Uncountable
We can count… (apples) We cannot count… (rice)
An apple Some rice
Two apples
Task-rehearsal
The teacher sets up the pictures used in the previous activities on tables in front of the
classroom and asks some volunteers to act if they were the farmers selling the products.
Then, the teacher takes out some groceries bags and pretends to go shopping to the
farmer’s market. Learners sit in pairs. They listen to the teacher and write a list of all
the things he/she buys at the market
The teacher says, for example, “It’s Thursday, and it’s my day to go to the farmer’s
market. I need some vegetables and fruits to buy.” The teacher walks around the
classroom and stops to see the pictures: “Mmm! This pineapple looks delicious. I want
three pineapples, please, and 10 oranges. Lettuce? No, I think I don’t need any lettuce,
but I need five cucumbers please. Wow, there is cheese here. I want some. Please, a
kilo of cheese, and some milk to, two bottles please…”
Then, the learners compare their answers with the rest of the group.
Task completion
Learners listen to the text “Shopping at the Farmer’s Market”. As learners listen,
they check the products from the shopping list Erin and Steve bought. In pairs, learners
compare their answers and then they share with the whole group.
The audio is played twice, or more, if necessary. The teacher monitors learner’s
performance.
Instructions:

It’s a sunny Sunday afternoon today and Erin is walking through a farmer’s market with
Steve. They are shopping for ingredients so they can cook a nice dinner later. There are
many people at the market. Erin sees a man who is selling vegetables. They look fresh
and delicious. “We should get some vegetables so we can make a salad,” says Erin.
“Good idea, Erin. There are lots of vegetables here and they all look so good!”
They pick out some cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. They pay for the
vegetables and look around the market. They buy two apples, three pears, some meat and
a few other things for their dinner, too. “I can make the salad tonight,” says Erin, but we
don’t have any cheese at home.” Look, there is cheese.” Says Steve, and they get a kilo of
cheese and two bottles of milk. They walk home happily after their shopping at the
farmer’s market.
Task assessment
Students play the game “At the farmer’s market”. The teacher gives students
recycling paper. In pairs, learners role- play a short conversations at the market. One
student is the customer and asks for one product, the other student has to draw the
product his/her friend wants. For example,
The teacher points at a specific image on the poster and asks learners to describe what
they see: “The farmer is driving a tractor.” The farmer is feeding the animals.”
Task completion
The teacher explains that the class is going on a field trip to each of the farms they
drew. To do so, groups display their posters all over the classroom. Half of the class
will be the ones describing the posters, and the other half will be the visitors. Then, the
groups switch roles.
The teacher monitors learners’ performance and encourages all learners to describe
their farm using complete sentence patterns.
Task assessment
The teacher randomly points at different images of farmers on the posters and asks
learners what the farmer is doing:
Yes! The farmer is feeding the animals. He feeds the animals every morning.”
Is the farmer milking the cows? Exactly! He milks the cows every day.
Learners work on self and peer assessment. Whole class pays attention to the
presentation and assesses their achievement of the goal by giving feedback to their
peers. The teacher monitors the feedback.
Task-Rehearsal
Learners work on a ‘Sentence Building’ activity. A group of students is called to the
front. The teacher gives each one a card with a word. The group is asked to put those
words in order to create a logical sentence.
The activity continues with another group of students and a different sentence.
Task completion
Learners use the images provided to complete the sentences. Then, they put all the
sentences together into one single text. The teacher monitors learners’ performance of
the task.
At the Farm
Task assessment
In pairs, the learners practice reading the sentences they wrote and peer-correct each
other.
The group assesses their performance, using the ‘Corners’ technique. Each corner in
the classroom represents a different answer. Learners go to the corner that best
represents how they feel with their achievement of the task.
Corner 1: I’m stuck! Please, help
Corner 2: I understand most of it, but I need more practice.
Corner 3. On my way! I can continue my own.
Corner 4: Got it! I can help others.

Pre-teaching
Warm up
The teacher labels two boxes with the cards ‘Countable’ and ‘Uncountable’ (one card per
box) and places them on the floor. The teacher brings pictures of countable and
uncountable food to the class and hides them all over the classroom. The class is divided
into two groups. A member of each group goes to the front, looks for the pictures, and
locates them in the corresponding box. The rest of the group indicates where the pictures
are hidden and helps their team member to locate each picture correctly in each box. The
group which locates more pictures correctly in each box wins. The teacher provides
feedback and reviews the meaning of countable and uncountable food.
The groups share their list with the rest of the class. Teacher writes the words on the board
and provides feedback if necessary.
Modeling
The teacher writes ‘How much’ and ‘How many’ on the board and invites learners to
watch the following video: ‘How much? vs How many?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbeIFCTy9sU
The teacher explains that ‘How much’ is used to ask question with uncountable food, and
‘How many” is used for countable food.
Teacher also explains that there are words that can help to make something uncountable
into countable: cup, tablespoon, teaspoon, kilo, bar, bag ( use realia to introduce these
words)
The teacher provides more examples for students and asks them to repeat after him/her:
How many eggs do you need? I need _______
How many oranges do you want? I want______
How much sugar do you need? I need two cups of sugar.
How much honey do you need? I need a tablespoon of honey.
How much butter do you need? I need a bar of butter.
Clarifying
The teacher sticks the poster below on the board.
Teacher tells students to pretend they are at a grocery store. Using the pictures as clues,
learners take turns to go to the front and ask for a product to the grocery seller (the teacher)
Student: I need some cheese.
Teacher ‘How much cheese do you need?
Student: I need a kilo of cheese.
Then, learners volunteer to take the role of the grocer and the customer. They practice
asking the questions and answers. Teacher provides feedback.
The teacher writes some sentences on the board, and volunteers go to the front and mimic
what the sentence says, for example:
Pour the milk in the bowl. Add sugar.
Mix the ingredients. Cook the pancake.
Task completion
Learners, individually, read the instructions to make pancakes and illustrate them with
the corresponding picture. The teacher monitors learner’s performance.

and then uses them to practice with the learners the steps to make a sandwich.
The teacher writes “My Cooking Show” on the board and gives aprons to two volunteers.
They are asked to pretend they are presenting a cooking show where they are teaching the
audience how to make a sandwich. Learners present their show. The teacher provides
feedback when necessary. Two more volunteers go to the front and present their show.
Task completion
Learners are asked to draw two more ingredients they would like to add to the sandwich.
Then, the class is divided into pairs. Learners use the new ingredients and the previous
ones, to explain to their peer how to make a sandwich. The teacher monitors learners’
performance of the task.
Task Assessment
The teacher writes the steps to make a sandwich on the board (not in order). The class is
divided into pairs. Each pair works together orally to put the steps in order, using the
sequencing words: first, then, next, after that, finally. The teacher monitor learners’

Warm up:
Learners sing the song “Let’s go to the market”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Y3bYRC5QU . Then, the learners list the food
they saw in the video.
Modeling
The teacher explains that the food we eat comes from a farm. People buy the vegetables
and fruits at the farmer’s market and that food goes to our houses and to restaurants.
That’s why we say the food goes from farm -to- table. Teacher explains to learners that
in today’s class they are going to learn how to order food at the restaurant, but first the
teacher asks:
When you go to a restaurant, what do you usually order? Teacher shows pictures of
food people find at a restaurant as stimulus to the students, and then the teacher
provides sample sentences:
“I usually order a casado. Sometimes I order friend chicken and French fries.”
Then, some volunteers mention what they usually order at a restaurant: “ I usually
order…”
Next, the teacher explains that now they are going to learn how to order food at a
restaurant. To do so, learners first watch the following videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49QFHWIky-k&feature=youtu.be May I take
your order? Anything else? For here or to go. - English for Kids
The teacher then writes a simple conversation on the board using the target structure.
Leaners copy in their notebooks and repeat it after the teacher.
A: May I take your order?
B: Yes, I’d like spaghetti and salad.
A: Anything else?
C: I’d like a taco, please
A: Spaghetti, salad and taco. Right?
B: Yes, that’s right!
Clarifying
The teacher dresses up as she/he were a waiter/waitress. Then, sets up a table in front of
the class simulating a restaurant. The teacher asks for two volunteers to sit at the table.
Together with the teacher, the learners practice the conversation of how to order food at
the restaurant.
Next, a student is asked to take the role of the waitress/waiter to take the order of their
classmates.
The learners in groups create a dialogue about ordering food in a restaurant based on a
draft given by the teacher. They present their short conversations to the class.
https://en.islcollective.com/english-esl-worksheets/grammar/questions-
interrogative/may-i-take-your-order/51209
The learners read the conversation with the teacher and then he/she writes on the board:
Oscar ate________________________
He drank________________________
For dessert, he had_________________
José ate________________________
He drank________________________
For dessert, he had _________________
The class is divided into groups of three. The groups work together reading the
conversation and filling in the blanks with the corresponding answers. Teacher
monitors and provides help if necessary. Two groups get together and compare their
answers. Then, the answers are checked as a whole group.
Task completion
Learners, individually, read the following conversation and complete the chart.
Instructions: Read the dialogue below and then answer complete the chart.
Waiter- May I take your order?
Brenda - Yes. I'd like the chicken and a side order of corn.
Waiter -And what would you like to drink?

Task-rehearsal
Teacher ask learners what they and their family prefer to eat for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Volunteers take turns to answer.
After that, learners create their own vocabulary picture dictionary according to what
they like or dislike for breakfast, lunch or dinner and then share it in front of the class.
For breakfast, I like to have________________
For lunch, I like to have________________
For dinner, I like to have _________________
Task completion
Learners use and info-gap activity to practice asking their classmates what they like to
have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each learner gets a handout. Learners must
mingle around asking three of their classmates their preferences for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. Some of the learners report their findings to the group.
Instructions:
Ask three of your friends what they like to have for breakfast,
lunch and dinner. Write their answers in the corresponding
space. Then, report back to the class.

complete sentences. What is she doing? What are they doing?
She is cooking They are eating pizza.
Task Rehearsal
Learners play ‘Drawing race’. Learners race to draw a picture of a sentence they hear
e.g. “Maria is eating at a restaurant”. The teacher gives points for the first one that
matches the description and/ or the best picture.
Pictures of people doing different actions are pasted all over the classroom. Learners
take turns to go to the front, say a sentence and another student runs to look for the
corresponding picture.
Task- completion
The class is divided into groups of four. Each group gets poster paper and markers.
They are asked to draw a town and people doing different activities (at least 4). The
poster is called “Everybody in my town is busy.” Learners present their posters orally
to the group. They start their presentation by saying:
Everybody in my town is busy. There is a woman planting vegetables. A man…
Task Assessment
Learners think of a city and the activities people are doing there. They write 5 sentences
describing those actions:
Example:
Two friends are going to a restaurant.
A girl is eating an ice cream.
A woman is planting flowers.
The class is then divided into pairs. Learners take turns to read their sentences to each
other and try to draw them from the description. Leaners compare the sentences to the
picture drawn.

Task Rehearsal
Learners play ‘Run and Grab’. The teacher sticks the cards with the minimal pair on
the board. The class is divided into two teams, and then a member of each team stands
at the back of the room, looking down an aisle at the board. The teacher calls one of the
minimal pairs out, and the pair of students races to the front to touch the correct words
on the board or grab the appropriate flashcards. Student from the winning team could
have a turn calling the words for others to run.
Task completion
Teacher divides the group into pairs to play ‘Running Dictation’ One student runs to
read the words from somewhere farther away, like on the wall outside the classroom.
They then dictate to the other student who writes them down. The teacher monitors
learners’ performance when reading the target words: The difference between words
with /s/ sound and /z/ sound. Learners switch places and it is now time for the other
student to dictate.
Task assessment
Learners play ‘Crumple and Shoot Basketball’ The minimal pair words are written on
pieces of (scrap) paper. Students are lined up in two teams. In turn, the front student
picks up the paper and reads the word. If it’s read correctly, they then crumple it up and
throw it into a basket a set distance away. (Getting it into the basket wins another
point.)
Learners work on self and peer assessment. Whole class assesses their achievement of
the goal.
