This document is a lesson plan for a first grade English class. It includes vocabulary words, exercises about a reading passage, and questions to predict what will happen in an episode of a video related to the reading. The reading is about a boy named Joel who thinks he doesn't have talents, but others admire his singing ability. Students are asked to do vocabulary, true/false, matching, and dialogue exercises about the reading. They are also asked to predict how different characters would give a class presentation and who might get nervous or stay calm.
