Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Recognition of subject pronouns in English: Students should be able to identify and recognize subject pronouns in English (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) and understand that they are used to replace proper names in communication.

2. Use of subject pronouns in simple sentences: Students should be able to use subject pronouns in simple sentences to express ideas and feelings. They should understand that the pronoun used in the sentence depends on the subject it refers to.

3. Differentiation of subject pronouns from other words: Students should be able to differentiate subject pronouns from other words in a sentence. They should understand that subject pronouns are specific words used to replace proper names, unlike other words that have different functions in communication.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Review of previous content: The teacher will start the lesson by reminding students of the basic names and greetings in English that were learned in previous classes. They will quickly review these concepts to set the stage for the new topic. (2 - 3 minutes)

2. Problem situations: The teacher will present two problem situations that will be the starting point for the introduction of the topic. First, he may ask the students: 'What would you do if you were the teacher for a day?'. Then, he may say: 'Imagine you are writing a story. How would you refer to the characters without repeating their names all the time?'. (2 - 3 minutes)

3. Contextualization: The teacher will explain that in situations like the ones mentioned earlier, we use subject pronouns in English to refer to ourselves and others. He may give simple examples, such as 'I am happy' and 'She is my friend', to show how subject pronouns are used in practice. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Engaging students' attention: To make the introduction more interesting, the teacher can share some curiosities about the English language. For example, he may mention that the pronoun 'you' in English can be used to refer to a person or a group of people, unlike most other languages. Or he may mention that the pronoun 'it' is used to refer to inanimate things, such as pets, in English. (2 - 3 minutes)

5. Presentation of the topic: The teacher will introduce the topic of the lesson, subject pronouns in English, explaining that they are used to replace proper names in communication. He will write the pronouns on the board (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) and explain that each one is used to refer to a different type of subject. (1 minute)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

Activity 1: 'Guess Who?' (10 - 12 minutes)

1. The teacher will divide the class into groups of 4 or 5 students and distribute cards with images of people, animals, objects, and places to each group.
2. Each student will pick a card without showing it to their peers and place the card on the table.
3. Then, the students in each group will take turns asking questions about the peer's card, using subject pronouns in their questions. For example, 'Are you a person?' or 'Is it an animal?'. Students should try to guess what is on the card using only questions with subject pronouns.
4. The student who correctly guesses what is on the card earns a point for their group. The game continues until all cards have been guessed or until time runs out.
5. In the end, the teacher will review the answers with the class and reinforce the correct use of subject pronouns.

Activity 2: 'I am, You are, He is' (10 - 12 minutes)

1. The teacher will divide the class into groups of 4 or 5 students and hand out three large cards with the pronouns 'I', 'You', and 'He/She/It' written on them to each group.
2. The teacher will make a list of simple sentences on the board, for example: 'I am happy', 'You are a student', 'He is a dog', 'She is a cat', 'It is a book'.
3. One student from each group will pick one of the cards, and the teacher will say one of the sentences from the list. The student holding the correct pronoun card should complete the sentence by saying the pronoun in the appropriate place. For example, if the teacher says 'I am happy' and the 'I' card is being held, the student will say 'I am happy'.
4. Students should continue passing the cards and completing the sentences until all sentences from the list have been used or until time runs out.
5. In the end, the teacher will review all the sentences with the class, reinforcing the correct use of subject pronouns.

Note: Both activities are designed to be fun and engaging while allowing students to practice using subject pronouns in a meaningful context. The teacher should circulate around the room during the activities, providing support and correcting any errors constructively.

Feedback (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Group discussion (4 - 5 minutes): The teacher will gather all students in a large circle for a group discussion. Each group will have the opportunity to share their answers and solutions to the 'Guess Who?' and 'I am, You are, He is' activities. The teacher will facilitate the discussion, encouraging students to explain their answers and how they arrived at them. He will also ask questions to check students' understanding of the use of subject pronouns. (2 - 3 minutes)

2. Connection to theory (3 - 4 minutes): After the group discussion, the teacher will make the connection between the activities carried out and the theory discussed in the introduction. He will reinforce that subject pronouns are used to replace proper names in communication. The teacher may use examples from the activities to illustrate how pronouns are used in practice. For example, he may say: 'Did you notice how we used 'you' to refer to a person or a group of people in the 'Guess Who?' activity? That's because 'you' is a subject pronoun that can be used to refer to a person or a group of people in English'. (2 - 3 minutes)

3. Reflection on learning (3 - 4 minutes): To conclude the lesson, the teacher will propose that students reflect on what they have learned. He will ask two simple questions to guide students' reflection:

   • 'What was the most challenging part of using subject pronouns in our activities today?'
   • 'How can you use what you learned today about subject pronouns in your English conversations and writing?' The teacher will give students a minute to think about their answers, and then ask some volunteers to share their reflections with the class. The teacher will reinforce that practice is essential to deepen understanding and encourage students to continue practicing the use of subject pronouns outside the classroom. (2 - 3 minutes)

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Lesson Summary (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher will recap the main points of the lesson, highlighting the subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they). He will reinforce that subject pronouns are used to replace proper names in communication and that each pronoun is used to refer to a different type of subject. The teacher may review using examples, such as 'I am a student', 'You are my friend', 'He is a doctor', 'She is a teacher', 'It is a cat', 'We are a team', 'You are students', 'They are my parents'. (1 - 2 minutes)

2. Connection between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher will explain how the lesson connected theory and practice. He will highlight that the 'Guess Who?' and 'I am, You are, He is' activities allowed students to apply what they learned about subject pronouns in real situations. He will also reinforce that the group discussion and final reflection helped reinforce students' understanding and consolidate learning. (1 minute)

3. Extra Materials (1 minute): The teacher will suggest some extra materials for students who wish to deepen their knowledge of subject pronouns. He may recommend educational websites with interactive games related to the topic, such as 'British Council - LearnEnglish Kids' or 'Fun English Games'. He may also suggest that students practice at home by creating simple sentences with subject pronouns. (1 minute)

4. Subject Importance (1 minute): Finally, the teacher will emphasize the importance of the subject for students' daily lives. He will explain that by understanding and using subject pronouns correctly, students will be able to express themselves more clearly and effectively in English. He may give examples of how subject pronouns are used in everyday conversations, such as 'How are you?' and 'I am fine, thank you'. He may also mention that knowledge of subject pronouns is essential for constructing more complex sentences in the future. (1 minute)
