Warm-up and Objective Discussion

Objective discussion: Today our lesson`s main purpose is to learn about family members. Do you know any family members? Yes, of course. For example: granddad, granny, father, mother, sister, brother- they are family members. You are right. Why do we learn family members? Why is it important? Because, in order to present our family in English to our friends, pen-friends or classmates, we need to learn family words, and word how to describe them- adjectives.

Warm up: First teacher elicit from students some of the family members which were taught in previous class. Teacher demonstrates her own family photo, mounted on the center of the paper. Tell students to imagine they are shopping with someone from their family, perhaps, siblings. Teacher asks: , . Prompt: use pronouns (presented in previous lesson: he, she, it, we, I, they, you) and adjectives (that they were taught before): smart, tall, dark, small, kind, etc.
