Warm up Activity

In order to revise, as well as introduce a new topic as regards grammar, trainees will bring about the personal pronoun I and its correspond VERB TO BE counterpart to make simple sentences such as “ I am Alexis” I am Lourdes” I am a teacher” I am a son”. After 4 minutes or so, we will proceed to introduce students the SHE and HE personal pronouns in conjunction with its correspond verb to be for simple descriptive sentences not only representing positive statements, but also negative ones.

This activity will be developed over the blackboard and orally for the same of children’s oral and written interpretation or foreign language. Furthermore, children will be taught the THIS IS grammatical construction.

Activity One

This activity will require students to recognize which family members belong to any of the two personal pronouns previously introduced, that is to say, students will be capable of recognizing, for example, that the personal pronoun SHE refers to females and that MOTHER, SISTER etc. belong to this group.

Activity Two

This activity will require students, after being guided not only by the teachers’ explanation, but also by the short model provided on top of activity, to produce their own simple family description.

Activity Three (Alternative activity in case of experiencing lack of time)

Inasmuch as students are not accustomed to reading comprehension activities, activity three would be introduced to be performed in pairs to exploit not only communal work, but also gradual reading comprehension skills as a crucial part of the learning of a second language.
