Lesson 1
In this lesson students will be introduced to lexical items related to their body.
At home find a small box, place a mirror in it.
In class tell them that today you have brought someone special and that special person is in
the box. Sts take turns, come to the front and look into the box. They will discover that they
are the ones in the box.

Take pictures of different and ask them the difference between one and another.

You can give the students some pictures and as they listen they label the faces.

This activity then can be done in pairs. One student describes a face and the other student
draws, and then they swap roles.
Once they have the lexical items, introduce the spelling of the words.
The second part of the lesson will be aimed at naming the different parts of the body. In order
to do that you can take a large sheet of paper, place it on the floor, one student lies on the
paper and the other students trace the st’s outline on the paper, students can draw the parts
of the face and then go through the parts of the body.
