3rd Lesson

Take attendance.

Hand out papers – SBS pg. 9/conversation.

On the back of papers students record the following:

l   What is it?/It is a _____.

l   Where is it?/It’s on the _____.

l   Class objects (10).

Teacher says the names of each object.  Students move through the room to touch them.  The students who are fastest to touch the objects can sit down.

Draw a diagram showing the prepositions “in,” “on,” “under,” and “next to.”  Ask students where the objects are.

Using “Teacher Says” students act out prepositions such as “on the chair,” (students stand on their chairs).

Review pg. 9 from SBS.

Draw the following diagram on the board:

1	1	1
2	2	2
3	3	3

l   Class is divided into 2 or more teams.

l   One axis is labeled “A,B,C” and the other is labeled “1,2,3.”

l   Teams take turns providing coordinates.  Teacher crosses spaces off the grid and awards points.  Questions can range from easy (1 point), such as “What is your name?” to difficult (3 points) such as “Where is China?”

l   Most of my students call this the “Money Game.”

Students write whatever they can think of about themselves.  Could also provide incomplete sentences using prepositions or class objects.
