Teacher elicits the vocabulary. If somebody forgot the words, they repeat after teacher in chorus. Teacher asks students: Do you like apples? - Yes, I do! / No, I don't. Teacher praises everyone who answers.
Students watch Mini-Lesson and sing the song with the Teacher
Teacher gives the students bingo cards with food. Students listen to Teacher and circle the food they hear. When all the food is circled, they shout "Bingo!"
Students throw at each other a soft toy and ask questions "Do you like (any food)?" The student who caught the toy should answer and ask another question and throw the toy again.
Teacher looks at the students' lines and pictures, elicits what they have drawn (What is it? - Yogurt! What color? -Yellow!), comments on really neat and tidy handwriting and marks good work with stamps.
Teacher writes on the boars the letters y, e, a, u, t, p, m, s and elicits their sounds. Teacher hands out dictation sheets and asks students to draw underscores (_) marking the number of letters in the words he/she will later dictate. _ _ _ (yap) _ _ _ (yes) _ _ _ (yet) _ _ _ (yum) Then Teacher dictates the words and comments on the vowels (E like in EGG or A like in APPLE, or U like in UMBRELLA). The students write down. Fast finishers can write the words on the board. Then everyone reads all the words they wrote in chorus.
