Taking into consideration the variety of activities shown by Shawn, I based on Easter time. That festival is so relevant when students of any age learn English culture. I carried that task out on the eve of Easter holidays.As in any another topic, the whole class worked on the same activity although the outcome was different due to the diverty of pupils.Some are stronger and same weaker.

Anyway, the most relevant fact was everyone participated in the task and they had a lot of fun.

Here is the lesson plan:

a) Starting the lesson:

- Write on the board the word " Easter ". And, ask : Do you know its meaning ?.

- Ask: What do you do for Easter? / What do you eat?.

- Do a brainstorm on the board connected to Easter.

- Give them a worksheet: Easter wordsearch. Read out the words for the children to follow

them: Easter, parade, lamb, chocolate, bunny, chick, hunt, spring, basket, hide, decorate,

dye, eggs, tulip, lily.

- The children repeat the words and then, find them.

b) Main activity: - Show the Easter facts for children video. - Focus the children´s attention on: + What date do we celebrate Easter?. + Where do Easter basket come from?. + What country did Easter bunny stories share the first?. + What part of the bunny must people eat first?. + What kind of animal is it?. + What is the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy? +What did it happen in 1930?. + What is the most popular flavour of jelly beans?. + What traditions are mentioned?. - After watching the video, the children must write down what they remember of Easter.They are used to doing concept maps, so some did not it difficult to express what they had learnt doing a mind map. The ones who find it difficult, did a picture. c) Finishing the lesson: - Decorate Easter eggs.

- Take turns to say something about they have learnt with that activity.
