Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 4 Look and do.

Objective: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils

Look at Unit 13, Lesson 1, Activity 4 for instructions.

Optional Activity 5 Play “Seasons”.

Objectives: to revise the topic on seasons;

to enable the pupils to talk about their favourite season

to practise the pronunciation of the sound [i]

Ask the pupils to think about their favourite season and join the group of this season. There should be four groups for four seasons. If nobody likes one of the seasons, for example, winter, it does not matter. So there will be three groups.

Ask the four groups to sit together. Explain to the pupils that they should complete the picture in their books with the details of their favourite season.

The spring group can draw green grass, leaves and flowers in the tree, and a bright sun.

The summer group can draw berries and flowers on the grass, red sun, and colour the tree dark green.

The autumn group can use a lot of yellow colour in their picture and grey for the cloudy sky.

The winter group can draw snowflakes and a snowman.

Each group can draw whatever they want.

After time limit, the groups decide what language they should use and who is the speaker or speakers.

You should help the pupils by asking the questions:

What season is it?

What colour is it?

Is it hot/ cold/ hot/ warm/ cool?

You should also give the pupils some help with vocabulary and the pronunciation of the words, especially the sound [i].

It’s sunny.

It’s cloudy.

It’s rainy.

It’s windy.

It’s snowy.
Homework: Ask the pupils to look on the right hand page and:

1) to colour the first picture and say sentences like “I can count cows”;

2) to finish colouring the seasons and say sentences like “It’s spring. It’s green. It’s warm. It’s rainy,” etc.
