Objective: to introduce the greeting “Good morning”

STEP 1: Since this is the first English lesson for first class, you need to tell the pupils that the English language is the language of many people who live in other countries. Like us they also work, study, go to the shops, but talk in the English language. Therefore, if we want to communicate with them, understand cartoons, fairy tales and stories produced in these countries, we have to learn English.
STEP 2: Then say that the English language is very beautiful and play the song “Good Morning” for the pupils to listen. You should remember that at this stage, from the very first lesson and during the first half of the school year the pupils need your constant assistance and support. This means that by asking them questions, we just want to draw their attention to the task, but do not expect them to answer correctly.

Before you sing the song, you need to ask what this song is about. You can draw the pupils’ attention to the picture, you can use gestures and facial expressions in order to teach pupils gradually to think independently and learn how to express their opinions. At the first lesson the pupils should be reminded of the rules of etiquette, and that people always greet each other when they meet. They say ‘Good morning’ only in the morning. Explain to them that therefore they will always sing this song at the beginning of each lesson in the morning.

Remember: Therefore comparatively much time is spent only on the first stage of introducing this song or game. Next, you can use them as phonetic drills at the beginning or organisational moment of the lesson. pupils gradually get used to the order of the lesson and quickly plunge into a lesson. You should not require from the pupils to memorise the song by heart. They will always be singing it with you at the beginning of each lesson and consequently remember it automatically.

While working with a group of pupils, always be aware that the pupils will be better or less prepared for school. If the pupils have less developed communication skills even in their native language and a bad memory, the last line of the poem can be made easier to sing, e.g.:

Конец формы

Good morning to you, good morning to you.

Good morning, good morning,

Good morning to you.

STEP 3: Ask the pupils to look at the right hand picture of the rising sun and colour it. Give them 1 minute. Ask the pupils to colour the rest of the picture at home.
Tapescript:

Good morning to you, good morning to you.

Good morning dear teacher, good morning to you.
