Introductions/Labe As students enter the classroom walk around and say “hello.” Introduce myself
ls or name tags: to SS.Welcome SS and wish them a happy school year.
Lead-in (5-6 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage
students

Let all Ss stand in a circle. Hold a ball and say your name, then
throw it to someone. Let them throw it back saying their names.
Do it till all SS have said their names. Now, take the ball and say
T-S 5
the name of the one you are throwing to. Model and let them do it.
Repeat several times till they nearly know all the names. At this
stage, give no instructions. Just model.
---------------
Hand out sticky cards to SS and ask them to write their names on it. Then ask
them to put the cards on the desks in front of them.

Add an adjective Add an adjective

After an initial introduction, tell students you want to try to learn their names.
Introduce yourself by saying, “my name’s Rania and I’m Responsible”. write the
sentence on the board (Replace my name with your name and an adjective
which has the same first letter) Emphasise the fact that your adjective starts
7
with same letter as your name by stressing the pronunciation of both the
sounds. Invite the students to introduce themselves in the same way. This
activity can really help you to get to know the names quickly.
Personal Star 10
Draw a star on the board and inside it put 5 or 6 answers to questions about
you. (My answers are Yellow, Oliver, May18th, 2, Kuwait, Coldplay,Joe, and 7.)

Tell students that the star contains information about you.

Ask them, “What are the questions?” If they don’t get the idea give an
example.
Tell them “My favourite colour is Yellow. What question do you need to ask to
find out this information?” Elicit from them, “What’s your favourite colour?”
and cross out the word ‘yellow’ from the star.
They should be able to ask you questions to eliminate the rest of the clues.
They may be tempted to ask “Who’s Joe?” for example. Encourage them to ask
the question properly before crossing off the information. If your students
struggle with this, you may decide to focus on question forms at a later date.
When they have asked all the questions,
Put the students in pairs.
Ask them to draw their own personal star and put 5 pieces of information
about themselves inside.
In pairs they can ask each other questions to find out about their partner.
When they have all finished, ask them as a group to tell the others what they
have found out about their partner.
Make the Rules Conduct a whole-class discussion on what the rules of classroom behaviour
should be for both the teacher and the students. When you are finished, 10
write the rules on a large piece of paper and display it in the classroom.
