This week we will review the animals and
babies that we were studying in the previous
unit, and practice introducing ourselves
using the sentence structures that we
covered in the first week of school. We can
play games like spin the bottle to choose
students who have to stand up and speak in
front of the class, and they can talk about
themselves and their favorites such as their
favorite animal or their favorite colour. We
will also review things in the classroom using
realia and TPR, encouraging students to be
interactive with their environment.

use acti!e games such as the class hunt to encourage tactile learners and some
basic reciprocal learning by asking students to discuss what they like or dislike

encouraged.
