Hello! Next Tuesday I am teaching a class for the first time! (I am still a student) This class is going to be graded.So, the class lasts for 45 minutes.My topic is breakfast.I am teaching young learners of english as a foreign language ( first graders - 7 year olds:)) So what I need are some ideas. I don't know yet which vocabulary is in their books. I'll get the book on Saturday.But as I said I need some ideas. How to start?(I thaught by repeating the song they have learned today)How can I introduce their topic?And most importantly how do I teach them new words?Would it be good to show them picture cards and then say a word f.e.milk and then let them repeat..Any more ideas?Fun ideas?Anything is welcome!So one more time my topic is breakfast.
