Beginning the lesson

Hand out the flashcards. Call out a colour, e.g. blue. The pupil with the corresponding flashcard holds it up for the rest of the class to see. Repeat with the rest of the flashcards. Play the Goodbye song from the previous lesson (Track 11 CD1). Invite the pupils to sing along.

Step 1 Use the code and colour the picture (activity 13)

Explain the activity. Allow the pupils some time to use the code and colour in the shapes. Then elicit the colours by pointing to the shapes and asking pupils to tell you what colour they are. Tell the pupils that they are going to make the face of a teddy bear using circles only. Hand out the photocopies. Guide them through the cutting and gluing together of the circles. Go around the classroom providing any necessary help. While the pupils are doing the craftwork, feel free to play any song from the module. Make sure you display their work somewhere in the classroom.

Step 2 Look, read and complete. Listen and check.

Write the phrase All About Me on the board. Explain what it means. Explain, in L1 if necessary, that there are some things that show who we are. Go through the incomplete list and give examples about yourself. During this procedure, explain/elicit any unknown words/phrases. Refer the pupils to the activity. Go through the list of the missing words and explain/elicit their meaning. Allow the pupils some time to complete the poster. Play the CD, twice if necessary. The pupils listen and check their answers. Ask some pupils to read out from the poster.

Track 13 CD1

Write the following on the board:

My name’s ___________ . I am ___________ years old. I am from ___________ . My favourite colour is ___________ . My Family: ___________ My favourite things: ___________ I like wearing: ___________ My favourite subjects: ___________ I can: ___________

Step 3 Make an All About Me poster

Explain the activity. The pupils use the poster in Ex. 14 as a model and produce a similar one about themselves. You can assign this for homework. During the next lesson, encourage the pupils to present their work to the classroom. Make sure you display their work somewhere in the classroom.
