  • "Where can I¡¦?" (ex. Where can I read a book?) Use gestures. As students answer the questions, draw the buildings on the board to look like the map in the student book.
  • Show picture of a lady bug and a flower. Ask "Where is the ladybug?" Ss -> "The lady bug is next to the flower." Use hand gesture to indicate next to.
  • Ask students, "Who is next to you?"
Activate New Content
  • Let students get their books. "Please get your Faces student book."
  • Practice numbers - let's count to page four.
  • Play CD track 4. Pause after the questions. Ss answer the questions ex. "Where is the zoo?" Ss -> "It's next to the movie theater."
  • Play CD track 3 (Neighborhood song). After each building is said, pause CD and ask Ss where it is on the board.
  • A, B, C (all students should have very easy time with this) Practice writing. Bring students to the board or give them scrap paper to practice writing.
Closing "Please clean up." - "Please line up" - "Who needs to go to the bathroom?"
