T says: 'Let's play Guess the room! Look at the picture and guess the name of the room.' T shows the first picture (a room with many books) and asks: 'What room is this?'
Pupils
Ss look at the picture and listen to the instruction. Expected answer: 'It is the library.'
Teacher
T shows more pictures: a room with paints and easels, a room with many computers. T asks: 'What is this room? Can you say it in English?'
Pupils
Ss raise hands and answer: 'It is the art room.' / 'It is the computer room.' Ss repeat the answers in chorus.
Teacher
T asks: 'Which room do you like most? Why?' and invites 2 or 3 Ss to answer.
Pupils
Ss answer briefly, for example: 'I like the library because I like reading books.' / 'I like the art room because I like drawing.'
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Today we will learn how to ask where a room is.' T writes the title 'Where is the library?' on the board.
