Class #1 My family - Teachers Hazel & Abigail

• Family tree. Teacher Hazel (me) started the class,she  pasted a poster with a family tree with blanks spaces on the whiteboard. 

Students played the hot potatoe. teacher played a song and students had to pass the ball. 

When the music will stopped, the student who had the ball had to take a picture of a family member and try to put it in the correct place in the family tree.

• Presentation of the topic. Teacher Abi pasted on the whiteboard flashcard of family members. she asked to the students to repeat after her to learn the correct pronunciation of the word. teacher asked to the students who is she/he? to know if they had lear the vocabulary.

When the students had already learned the vocabulary, teacher made a little activity. she removed one flashcard and asked to the students to repeat again, then she removed another flashcard and students had to repeat again, she continued like that and at the end the whiteboard was empty and student had to try to repeat again.

Note: this activity made more atractive the class and help to know if the students learn the vocabulary.

• Look at me. teacher Hazel organized some desks in the classroom, each desk had an object that represent a member of a family, for example: the desk which had the word "father" had a tie, the desk which had the word "sister" had a teddy bear, the desk which had the word " brother" had a foami cap and etc. teacher named a family member and students had to look for it and wear the object. if the teacher said "brother" the students had to look for the desk which had that word and put on the foamy cap.

Note: this activity was useful to know if the students were able to recognize by listening.

• Scramble words. teacher Abi asked to the students to sit down on the flour and make a circle. she gave them little pieces of paper with letters. she said a word and the students had to form the word. for example: if the teacher say "mother" they had to form that word with the letters.

Note: this activity is useful to practice writting. 

• Memory game. teachers pasted on the whiteboard hidden pictures. the hiden pictures were the family member of the cartoon "phineas & pherb" each picture had a number from 1 to 16.
  

students took turns and they had to choose 2 numbers and try to find the pair.when they find the pair they had to answer the question who is she/he? and if they do it correctly they will get a point. the person who get more point will be the winner.

Note: this activity was useful to finish the class and they ejoyed it. Students really like activities in which they compete,
