I usually have meat or chicken for dinner and sometimes I eat fish. I like ice cream for dessert, but I don't like milk." -Pre-Teach Vocabulary: during narrative, T shows pictures of foods mentioned in narrative and puts them on the wall (13 sticky tabs pre-prepared) as they are spoken. When 'breakfast' 'lunch' and 'dinner' and 'dessert' are said, they are written in the appropriate places on the WB where the day timelime is drawn. -T does choral drilling while writing words on the board in a SAVED CORNER THAT WON'T BE ERASED. *****Natural modeling****** ***Show linking, assimilation****** -T MODELS to take food name card (e.g, toast) and put it under the matching food picture on the wall.
