As in the lesson before, use this slide to cover your desktop. You can use this slide to elicit the lesson number and the lesson topic.
It is always a good idea to ask the child when the class begins: ‘Can you see me?’, ‘Can you hear me?’ and ‘Are you ready?’ and elicit a Y/N answer.
The purpose of this slide is to introduce: ‘Hello, how are you?’ question. The possible answers appear on the next slide
Pre-teach: I am splendid/nervous/cross/surprised. It works better if supported by gesture. Then ask the child: ‘So, how are you today?’ The child hopefully will be able to pick one word and reply. If not you will have to ask: ‘Are you …?’
If the student is good you can extend the language by asking: ‘Why?’, ‘What happened?’
When showing this slide you could review the language from the previous class. If you had printed off the flashcards from the lesson before, you could show them on camera If not, you could paste the flashcards from the class before here.
This slide is to introduce the topic of the lesson, every lesson will follow the same structure from now on. There will be a starting slide, followed by ‘Hello, how are you?’ and answers. There will be flashcards at the end.

This is the flashcards section.
