Unit 1 Greetings

Optional Activity 6 Play “Ask and Answer”.

Objective: to consolidate the new structure “This is a XXX”

Explain that now the pupils will practise their objects using the structure “This is a XXX” in chains. The procedure of the chain drill is as usual:

P1: This is a ruler.

P2: This is a crayon, etc.

Also look at the instructions in the Introduction (the section 7) for how to organise the chain drill activities.


Optional Activity 7 Play “Is it a pen?”

Objective: to consolidate the new structure “This is a XXX”

This is the repetition of the game the pupils played in the previous lesson.

Again invite a leader to the blackboard and ask him to think of an object (for example, of a crayon) but not to tell anyone. The rest have to guess what kind of object it is and say ‘This is a pen’, ‘This is a pencil’, etc.

The leader answers ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If the pupils do not guess for 2 times what object the leader thought of, you will ask the pupils to ask him/her the question “What’s this?” in chorus. Then the leader responds “This is a crayon”.

If the leader forgets what word he has thought of during the game, it is necessary for him/her to say it in his/her native language. Then the other children he can prompt him/her.

Homework: Explain to the pupils that at home they should colour the cakes in the first activity on the right hand page and count the candles on them. In the second activity they should also colour the crayons and count them. Ask the pupils to bring a small mirror next lesson. They need it to pronounce a special English sound: th – this.
