Present:

Aims: Pupils see the objects and their name in English. They find the food and drinks that is described.

Activity: Describing

1-      I use a power point presentation to introduce new vocabulary and convey meaning. In the presentation, the pictures are shown with their English meaning. For example, it is written banana on the banana picture.

2-      I demonstrate the presentation and introduce the food and drinks vocabulary with their pictures and spellings one by one. I say them loudly and then I want the pupils to repeat the word in the same way.  For instance, I show a carrot picture and its spelling. I say ‘there is a carrot’, ‘carrot’. They repeat the word ‘carrot’.

3-      I want them to describe one of the food and drinks. Firstly, I do it. For example, it is very delicious. It is black. Its shape is round. Its taste is sweat. What is it?

4-      They try to predict what it is.

5-      They start to describe one of the food and drinks. The class try to predict

Practice:

Aims: Students recognize the food and drinks  and are able to tell their names by looking at their pictures.

Activity: what is missing?

1- I use the pictures of food and drinks vocabulary (carrot, orange, banana, grapes, potato, tomato, apple, milk, water, fruit juice, tea, and hamburger).

2- I ask five students to show the pictures to their friends. Firstly, they show five pictures and then I give them different pictures. For instance, for the first time, I give them ‘carrot, orange, banana, grapes, potato’ pictures. Secondly, I give them ‘apple, milk, water, fruit juice’ picture. Thirdly, I give them ‘tea, orange banana, water, carrot’.

3- While they are displaying the picture, I ask the pupils to close their eyes and remove a picture. Pupils open their eyes and tell what is missing. For instance, I use ‘carrot, orange, banana, grapes, potato’ pictures. Pupils look at these pictures for a while. And I say ‘close your eyes, please’.

4- I remove the grapes picture then they open their eyes and find the missing picture.

5- I change the five students with different five students. They also have chance to join the activity during the finding part.
