This lesson plan is for a 1st grade class about human body parts. The lesson will introduce new vocabulary for body parts like head, ears, eyes, mouth, hands, legs, knees and feet through various listening and speaking activities. Students will play a game called "teacher says" to learn the parts. They will then review the vocabulary with flashcards and a poster. Later, students will write the words and do an activity matching body parts to pictures. The goal is for students to recognize, produce and use the new vocabulary through interactive lessons and reinforcement.
