Could you help me, please?

Tomorrow I �m going to teach a 1st class (pupils are 11 years old) for the first time. I �ve never seen them before, so I �d like to offer them a funny/interesting/motivating start into the English lesson.

 

Any ideas what I could do with them?

Thx a lot in advance!!!

Then, ask them questions about things they like/ dislike/ do in their free time etc. The Ss love talking about themselves. You can also put some pictures with things you love/have/ do in your free time and let them ask you questions and learn some things about you.

 

Next,I choose a simple, interesting reading passage (appropriate for their level), do a warm-up with them, do some reading and ask oral questions. I also give them some written exercises on that reading passage and ask them to work in pairs or groups, so they can get to know each other better. I have the role of the observer that time.

 

I finish with a song (related to the reading passage) where they can fill in the gaps and then listen, check and sing!!!!!!!! 

 

 

 

I was very pleased to read your answers/suggestions.

 

Thx a lot and I can tell you - it was a lovely lesson :-)
