Teacher
T greets the class and says: 'Hello, everyone! Today we will talk about what we can see. Let's play Picture Flash!' T shows a picture for 2 seconds and hides it.
Pupils
Ss greet T back: 'Hello, teacher!' Ss watch the picture carefully.
Teacher
T asks: 'What can you see?' T models the answer: 'I can see the window.' T asks Ss to answer in chorus, then 1–2 individuals.
Pupils
Ss answer in chorus: 'I can see the window.' Some Ss answer individually. Expected answer: 'I can see the door.' / 'I can see the board.'
Teacher
T gives a sticker to the fastest and most correct pair. T asks pairs to play Picture Flash for one more round.
Pupils
Pairs take turns: one Ss shows a picture, the other says 'I can see the + thing'. Pairs report their answers to the class.
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Great! Now we know how to answer questions about what we see.' T leads into the new lesson.
