Before Class

Photocopy the photo frame template from the Teacher’s Resource Pack CD-ROM, one per pupil. Also, have scissors, glue and coloured pencils ready to use or ask the pupils to bring their own from the previous lesson.

Step 2 My best friend

Tell the pupils that they are going to make a photo frame and attach the picture of their best friend. Hand out the photocopies. Guide them through the cutting of the photo frames and the gluing of the photos. Alternatively, the pupils can draw a picture of their best friends. Go around the classroom, providing any necessary help. While the pupils are doing the craftwork, feel free to play any song from the module.

Step 3 Find and Circle

Explain the activity. Revise the family words (grandma, grandpa, mummy and daddy). The pupils find, circle and match the words to the corresponding family members. Check their answers.

Step 4 Project Time

Refer the pupils to the project and the picture. Ask the pupils to tell you what they can see. Elicit grandma, grandpa, mummy and daddy. Explain that they are going to make a project about their family. They can use real photos or draw pictures. They can also write a short description.

Help them file their drawings in their Language Portfolios.

Assign the project for homework. During the next lesson, encourage the pupils to present their projects to the classroom. Make sure you display their work somewhere in the classroom.
