WARM-UP

1. Draw pictures of the sun shining, raindrops falling, wind blowing, snow falling and clouds on the board. Ask the pupils to call out the weather words.

PRESENTATION

2. Listen and repeat (p. 66, ex. 1).

Look at the pictures and say the names of the months. Pupils listen and repeat. Teach and then drill the new vocabulary using the pictures on the board.

After listening: Teach the word “month”. Point out that the names of the months all start with a capital letter in English.

EXTRA

Game

BINGO

Pupils make a grid of six squares.

They write a number in each square.

Pupils can't repeat the numbers.

Draw a grid as an example on the board.

Call out numbers at random.

If pupils have the number you call out in their grid, they tick it, or cross it off, or cover it with a small piece of paper.

The first pupil to tick / cross off / cover all six numbers in their grid calls out “Bingo!”and becomes the winner.

This can also be played with words, e.g., colours, animals, food, toys, weather, calendar, etc.

3. Look and say (p. 66, ex. 2).

Ask the pupils to read the sentences individually.

Then ask the pupils to read the sentences and say “Yes” or “No”.

Key: 1. Yes. 2. No. 3. No. 4. Yes.

In pairs, pupils continue the same activity.

Go round the class and help or correct if necessary.

4. Listen, read and say (p. 66, ex. 3).

Tell the pupils to look at the picture on p. 66, ex. 3. Read the sentences.

Ask the question: “Why does Dan like winter?”

Read the text, pausing after each sentence. Pupils repeat the sentences chorally and individually.

Tell the pupils that they are going to read the text too.

Read the sentences again.

Pupils read the text.

Memory game: Play a short memory game with the class. They close their book and listen to you describing what Dan does in winter. They have to remember the season and the months.

PRACTICE

5. Work in pairs (p. 67, ex. 4).

Ask the pupils to read and answer the questions in pairs.

Pupils read and practice in pairs. One or two pairs act out the dialogue.

In pairs, pupils continue the same activity using other pictures.

Write another dialogue on the board changing the main words from the dialogue and underlining them.

Ask the pupils to read the similar dialogue.

A. Do you like winter?

B. Yes, I do. It's cold. It's snowy. I wear a coat and a hat. I can play snowballs and ski.

You can stick pictures instead of words.

Do the same with the next two pictures.
