Warm-up
Exercise 1
Purpose: to help students know words to express feelings
· Direct students to the photo. Ask " What do you think is happening in the photo?" If necessary, direct students to the Lesson title and elicit It's her first day of school. Ask "Do you remember your first day of school?" Elicit yes or no. If you feel your students are ready, you may skip this step.
· Direct students to the Key Words. Say "Look at the Key Words. These are words we can use to express our feelings". Read each word aloud, acting out, dramatically, each feeling as you read it. Then have students repeat the Key Words after you. To confirm meaning, act out a feeling, for example, afraid, and ask "How do I feel?" Elicit afraid. Follow this procedure with the other Key Words. You may also use the Picture Dictionary on page 113, Feelings, to teach the Key Words.
· Say "On my first day of school, I was [ excited]. What was your first day at school like? How did you feel?" Read the Example aloud, or have a student read it. Have students get into small groups of four or five. Have them do a "round-robin" activity, where a student asks the classmate to his or her right What was your first day at school like? That student answers and then asks the student on his other right. Continue until all students have asked and answered the question. Monitor as students ask and answer the questions, offering help as needed. Check students' pronunciation of the Key Words.
· Have a few students tell the class what some of their group members said about their first day of school. Find out how many students were afraid, angry, excited, etc.
· If time allows, do Workbook page 95, Exercise 1. Alternately, assign for homework.
