Discourse type
Argument and description.
Language skills
Listening, speaking, reading and writing.

4. Contextual (cultural) element
This content appears in the decree 89/ 2014 from the BOCAM in which we find the minimum contents to be taught in Madrid. Students are interacting with their environment and discovering their senses through “hands-on” activities.
They use their senses in their daily life so it is a close topic that makes them feel interested and they are always using them.

5. Cognitive (thinking) processes
Understand, compare, identify, classify, order.

6. (a) Task(s)
There are tasks in which they practise input and output.
At the end of the unit they will have a “Final Project” where they will create a poster in groups about what they have learnt.

6. (b) Activities
Session 1
Reception activities
1)    Introduce the main vocabulary with flashcards.
The teacher shows some flashcards to pupils and they say the word.
2)    Play some games to identify and match the picture with the word card.
On the board children can play matching the word to the corresponding image.
Session 2
3)    Sing a song “Five senses”.

4)    Watch a video related to the organs and senses.
5)    Listening and repeat.
Session 3
6)    Match words.
Transformation activities
7)    Classify food according to the flavour.
8)    Chart with different items and their characteristics to tick.
Session 4
Production activities
9)    Senses workshop: tasting, smelling, touching, seeing, hearing with realia.
Students will experience using their senses with real objects in different groups
10) Draw your favourite food and describe it.
Session 5
11) Interactive game.

12) Complete the missing letters and draw the meaning.
Session 6
13) True or false sentences. This exercise is for students to notice the mistakes in several sentences and correct them to make them true.
14) What´s in the box? Students will play as a whole group using their sense of touch to guess the objet that is in a box.

Session 7
15) What do you see? Optical illusions. I will use the power point presentation I have created, to let them see what their sense of sight can do. They will discuss if every student sees the same and why.

16) Speaking game: Questions related to the senses.
Session 8
17) Mini book with My senses.
18) Cut out worksheet.
Session 9
19)  Poster about what they have learnt. 

Session 10
20) Experiment in the lab. We are scientists!

7. Methodology

Organization and class distribution / timing
Every day we will start with the same routines having a look at the weather, date, and reviewing the previous vocabulary through games.
They will work individually, as a whole group or in groups.
These activities will be developed in two weeks.

Resources / Materials

·         Different types of food: lemon, orange, sugar, chocolate, chips, pop corns, coffee, vinegar…
·         Different materials: a teddy bear, a plastic bag, perfume, an instrument…
·         Images and flashcards.
·         Song:
La canción "Five senses" que he escogido del grupo Hi 5 tiene como objetivo principal: aprender el vocabulario de los sentidos con la pronunciación correcta y con la metodología "Total Physical Response" ya que de esa manera aprenden mucho mejor vivenciando que memorizando. Con esta canción preparan la lengua que utilizarán en actividades posteriores.

·         Games:
Worksheet- http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/media/images/free_resources/teachers_corner/printables/5SensesSortingGame.pdf?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=pin&utm_content=craft&utm_campaign=five_senses
Los videos se utilizarán para introducir y relacionar ideas con lo que han aprendido.
El primer link también nos sirve para que aprendan a escuchar nuevos acentos del inglés, y no el British al que están acostumbrados.

·         Several worksheets.
Un juego y una fotocopia que he seleccionado porque con ellos no solo aprenden de manera divertida, sino que producen lo que les sale en el juego a la vez que señalan o seleccionan lo que pueden hacer con cada sentido de acuerdo con una tabla.


My own materials:

ü Five senses poster:

ü Power point:

Key Competences
Linguistic competence
Mathematical, science and technology competence
Digital competence

Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship competence

8. Evaluation (criteria and instruments)


Knows the different senses related with their organs.
Sings one song about five senses.
Participates in a group presentation.
Identifies the sense they use in different situations.
Writes the main vocabulary properly.


I will assess these criteria through observation and taking into account their attitude in class.

A first sample of this template has been published at:

Pérez Torres, I. 2009. "Apuntes sobre los principios y características de la metodología AICLE" en V. Pavón, J. Ávila (eds.), Aplicaciones didácticas para la enseñanza integrada de lengua y contenidos. Sevilla: Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Andalucía-Universidad de Córdoba.171-180.

It is mainly based on the hands-on experience at designing units and on conversations with experts and peers. The theory of the 4Cs by Do Coyle has also been taken into account. This theory has been shown in various publications, such as: Coyle, D., Hood, P. and Marsh, D., 2010. Content and Language Integrated Learning. Cambridge University Press.
