This lesson plan is for a 6th grade Spanish class. The lesson focuses on having students write short descriptions of animals from Argentina using vocabulary about physical features and abilities. Students will work in pairs to choose an animal and write a description following a provided model, such as describing what the animal looks like, where it lives, what it can and can't do. The teacher aims to interact more with students at the back of the class. Materials needed include photocopies, animal images, and a projector. The teacher provides supports like language outlines and corrections to help students with the writing task.

PROCEDURES
1) Warm-up activities:
a) We will correct the last activity worked during the previous class:
We will show all of the animals in a powerpoint presentation so that everyone
can see them (this is because in the previous class each pair had a different
animal and they did not see the others). We will correct the questions and
add some little details that might be of interest as the animals are rare and
children do not know them.
2) Main Activity:
a) In pairs, students have to choose an animal from Argentina and write
a short description about it using all the content we have worked in the
unit. For this, we will provide them with these guidelines:
