LESSON 1
WARM-UP | 5–7 minutes
1 (S–S, T–S, S–T) Ask Ss to keep their books closed. Write
face and body parts on the board. Then put Ss in pairs
and give them 2 minutes to think of as many face and
body parts as they can. When they have finished, elicit
words from Ss and write relevant ones (as in Exercise 1
in the book) in a list on the board. Alternatively, this could
be done as a group activity. Books closed. Put Ss in groups
and ask them to make a list of as many face and body
parts as possible in 2–3 minutes. Then they can compare
their lists.
2 (T–S, S–T) Ask Ss to turn to p. 102 and look at Exercise 1.
Go through the words in the box with Ss. Look at the
list on the board again and add the words that are in
Exercise 1 that have not already been put there. Then give
Ss 1–2 minutes to put the body parts in order from head
to toe in each set of words, then check.
EXTRA ACTIVITY
Play a game of Simon Says with the different body and
face parts you revised.
3 (S–S, T–S) Exercise 2. Put Ss in pairs and give them 2 minutes
to take turns to point to a part of their body and ask their
partner to say the word. Monitor and check if Ss are still
having problems with the words. Drill the words further if
necessary.
PRACTICE 1 | 7–8 minutes
1 (S–S, S–T) Refer Ss to Exercise 3. Put them in pairs and give
them 2 minutes to discuss the questions. When they have
finished, invite individual Ss to share what their partners
