English First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 1

Today, we will explore some new vocabulary words. Vocabulary refers to the words we use in our speaking and writing. Understanding new words helps us express ourselves better. We will look at some short texts and identify new words. I will write a few sentences on the board, and we will underline the new words together.

Let's take the word 'happy'. I will show you how to use it in a sentence. For example, 'The dog is happy.' Notice how I started with a capital letter and ended with a full stop. Now, let's try another word, 'play'. Can anyone help me make a sentence with 'play'? Remember to use correct punctuation!

In groups, you will receive a short text. Read it together and highlight any new words you find. After that, each group will create two sentences using those words. Make sure to check your punctuation and spacing. I will walk around to help you as you work. Once you finish, we will share our sentences with the class.

Now it's your turn to write! Choose three new vocabulary words from our lesson today. Write a short paragraph using those words. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, read your paragraph to a partner and discuss the new words you used.
