English Lesson

       My students are continuing to learn and grow. I wanted to share with everyone a sample English lesson. My English classes focus on the student talking 80% of the time and the teacher speaking 20% of the time.  This lesson is geared toward an 8 year old girl.

Review: Have her say 10 things she likes and 10 things she does not like while looking at pictures of different activities.

What are they doing? Have her look at pictures of people doing different things. Have her describe the pictures as best as she can. If necessary, ask her questions such as What is he eating? or Where is he?

Jane's Living room p. 47: Have her look at a picture of Jane's living room and ask her to describe the picture. Review any words she does not know. Ask her questions if needed.

Have her draw a picture of where she lives. (her house). Model for her by drawing your own house with as much detail as possible. When she is finished drawing have her describe the rooms in her house and where everything is in each room. Model with you house first and then review directions and items in the house if needed.

Have her describe her perfect room. Draw what she says and have her tell you where things go. Have her include at least three things in her room.
