Goals

● To improve students’ ability of the reading and writing a short note
Procedures
Warming up by asking some individuals questions
Good Morning, everyone! I’ll ask some students to put the things that I bring here somewhere in the class. Then tell me their position in English .For example: Where is lily’s table? (Or bed, dresser, bookcase, sofa, chair, backpack, books, keys, baseball, drawer, plant). After practicing the old words, you could place some of your common school things in various positions, and at the same time you can tell me where they are in English one by one.
