Welcome Ss to the class. Ask if any students need pens or paper. Hand out as required. Hand out blank A4 paper and ask Ss to fold it and write their names on it to make simple name signs. Write Memory on the WB and inform the students that this is the new topic. Clarify that the Ss understand Memory. Explain if necessary. Joke that my memory is bad hence the name cards, this will help clarify memory and build rapport.
Write 2 example facts about myself on the WB. Discuss with Ss Ask Ss to write down 2 interesting facts about themselves. Ask S to walk around the classrom and tell each of the other Ss the 2 facts about themselves. Arrange class into PW or GW depending on the class size.
