Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: 'Let's chant! Stand up when you hear the letter sound.' T plays the chant and models the words with clapping.
Pupils
Ss stand up, listen and watch T's actions.
Teacher
T leads the chant two times, then asks: 'What sound does the letter n make?' and 'What sound does the letter t make?'
Pupils
Ss chant along with T and answer: 'n makes the sound /n/.' and 't makes the sound /t/.'
Teacher
T calls on 2 Ss to chant one line alone: 'noodles, nuts, bananas' and 'teddy bear, tiger, top, turtle'.
Pupils
Volunteers chant alone; the class checks the pronunciation.
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Great! Now we know N n and T t well. Let's review the words.'
Pupils
Ss sit down and get ready for the next activity.
