Aims
To warm up Ss, review the vocabulary of the previous lessons and lead them into the new structure 'Look at …'.
Content
Ss look at flashcards of lake, leaf, lemons, a boy and a girl. T points at each picture and says the word; Ss repeat. Then T says 'Look at the lake!' and points at the picture; Ss repeat the sentence and point at the picture too. Ss play 'Simon says' with the commands 'Look at …'.
Expected outcomes
Ss can say the words lake, leaf, lemons, boy, girl and repeat the sentence 'Look at the …!' with the correct action.

Teacher
T says: 'Hello, class! Today we are at the lake. Let's go to the lake!' T shows the picture of the lake and asks: 'What is this?' (Expected answer: 'It's a lake.')
Pupils
Ss answer: 'It's a lake.' Ss repeat the word lake with T.
Teacher
T shows the flashcards one by one and asks: 'What is this?' T models: 'Look at the leaf!' while pointing at the leaf. T plays 'Simon says': 'Simon says look at the lemons!' and 'Simon says look at the lake!'
Pupils
Ss repeat the words and sentences. Ss point at the picture and say 'Look at the leaf!' when Simon says it. Ss who make a mistake sit down for a moment.
Teacher
T asks several Ss: 'What do you see at the lake?' Expected answer: 'I see the lake / the leaf / the lemons.'
Pupils
Ss answer with full sentences, for example: 'I see the lake.' or 'Look at the leaf!'
Teacher
T praises Ss and introduces the lesson title 'Look at …'. T writes the sentence 'Look at the …' on the board and underlines 'Look at'.
