Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T shows the bag and says: 'Look! I have a lucky bag. What's inside?' T models: 'I have a pen.' while taking out a pen.
Pupils
Ss look at the bag and listen to the model. Some Ss guess: 'It's a pen!'
Teacher
T invites 4 volunteers to put a hand in the bag, feel an object without looking, and say 'I have a ...'. T gently corrects the pronunciation of ruler and school bag.
Pupils
Volunteers say, e.g. 'I have a ruler.' The other Ss repeat the word in chorus.
Teacher
T asks: 'What do you have in your school bag?'
Pupils
Ss answer, e.g. 'I have a book.' or 'I have a school bag.'
Teacher
T writes the four words on the board and tells Ss the lesson is about 'I have a ...'.
Pupils
Ss look at the board, copy the title into their notebooks and say the four words once more.
