An after listening activity, during listening
activity and before listening activity related with the picture of the
aliens/monsters.
A) Pre-listening activity
The teacher realizes an “alphabet soup” with the topic he/she wants the
students learn (in this case, the parts of the body: legs, arms, eyes, head, etc.).
In this way, the teacher prepares the alphabet soup and in the bottom of the
document the teacher draws pictures of the parts of the body that are included
in the alphabet soup. It’s important to write down the name of each part of the
body next to the picture.
For example…
F A L T A U Q
C I G E R C S
D M N L G Y L
A S M G P S A
H E A D
E S R
R E Y E S
R M
J G A F
N S S
B) While-listening activity
The teacher, who has given a copy of the document to each student,
explains to the pupils that he is going to describe all the monsters that
appear in the picture, and they (the students) have to order with numbers. The descriptions
of the different monsters have to have the same structure.
For example…
“The first monster has one leg; Also, he has three eye; Also, he has one
head; Also, …”
“The second monster has four legs; Also, he has one eye; Also, he has
two heads; Also,…”
C) Post-listening activity
The teacher writes down in the blackboard the following sentence:
¿How it would be your ideal monster?
Then, the students have to draw in their notebooks their ideal monster
and when they finish, they have to describe the monster to their partners and
the partners have to draw the monster that their partners are describing.
