Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 1 Listen and repeat.

Objective: to help pupils understand the meaning and pronounce the poem

Ask the pupils to listen to the poem. Then with the help of the pupils translate it. After that, you can work on the pronunciation of the lines of the poem.

Tapescript:

I’ve got two eyes and I can see

A book and a pen in front of me.
Activity 2 Look, listen and say.

Objectives: to introduce new words;

to practise the pronunciation of the sounds [] and []

STEP 1: Ask the pupils what they will talk about now. After eliciting some answers, say openly that they will speak about body parts, specifically, only about the head and its parts. Then ask what parts of the head they can name and take the pupils’ responses in mother tongue: nose, mouth, ears, eyes and hair. Further, say that now it is necessary for them to learn how they are called in English. Also say that if they learn them well, they will be able to play a good game later.

STEP 2: At first, you can show the parts of your head, and then in the picture. To do this, you can draw a simple head on the board. Practise with the pupils the pronunciation of each word, and especially the sounds [] in “nose” and [] in “mouth” in chorus and individually. Then you can work with the textbook, i.e. you say a part of the head, for example, “mouth”, the pupils say the number “3” which is next to the picture.

First, speak very slowly, then faster.

Then you can change the task, i.e. you say the number, and the pupils name the appropriate part of the head. For example, you say ‘6’, the pupils say ‘ears’.

STEP 3: When you finish this activity, say that they can draw a favourite character’s (e.g. Pinocchio’s, robot’s or Zumrad’s) head on the board. The pupils will choose one of them. Then explain that the pupils you invite must come to the blackboard one by one, listen to the part of a head you say and draw it on the board.
