English A1 - Lesson 13: A Family Tree

🏃 Warm-Up: The Family Hand!

Let's start moving to wake up our brains! / ¡A movernos para despertar el cerebro!

👩‍🏫 Teacher Note (TPR Activity):
Levanta tu mano. Enséñales a los alumnos a apuntar a sus dedos para representar a la familia:
• Pulgar = Father (Voz grave)
• Índice = Mother (Voz suave)
• Medio = Brother (Haz como si jugaras videojuegos)
• Anular = Sister
• Meñique = Baby (Haz sonido de "shhhh")
¡Repítelo cada vez más rápido!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Vocabulary: Family Members

Listen and repeat the words. / Escucha y repite las palabras.

🧠 Brain Tip (¡Cuidado con el falso amigo!):

En inglés, "Parents" NO significa "Parientes". Significa PADRES (Papá y Mamá).
Si quieres decir "Parientes" (tíos, primos, abuelos), la palabra correcta es "Relatives".

🗣️✍️ Practice 3 & 4: Your Turn! (Speaking & Writing)

Now it's time to talk about YOUR family! / ¡Ahora es momento de hablar de TU familia!

🧠 Brain Tip (Aprende imitando): La mejor forma de escribir y hablar en inglés al principio es "copiar" la estructura de un texto que ya leíste y solo cambiar los nombres. ¡A esto se le llama Scaffolding (Andamiaje) y le da mucha seguridad a tu cerebro!

Practice 4: Writing

Write a short paragraph describing your family in your notebook. Use the reading from the beginning of the class as an example.

My family is  (small/big). 

My mother's name is . She is  years old and she likes . 

My father's name is . He likes .

I have got  brother(s) and  sister(s). 

My brother's/sister's name is ...

Practice 3: Speaking

Use the paragraph you just wrote and present your family to the class! Speak loud and clear.

👩‍🏫 Teacher Note (Speaking Activity): Put the students in small breakout rooms or in pairs. Ask them to read their paragraphs to each other.

Pronunciation focus: Emphasize the correct pronunciation of the "TH" sound in brother, mother, and father (it sounds like a soft 'd' with the tongue between the teeth).
