Present vocab, kids make their own characters and pair up 3 separate times and compliment classmates using the vocab.

  • For grammar point: What cute shoes! New Horizon 1 page 82.

  • Materials: every child to have a Chromebook, for you to be able to show the presentation slides

DIRECTIONS

  • Introduce vocabulary for different aspects of the character we can compliment: shoes, shirt, skirt, etc. with the presentation slide.

  • Introduce vocab for complimentary adjectives: great, nice, cute, cool etc. with the same presentation.

  • Have kids make their avatars using this link: https://pbskids.org/xavier/games/hero-maker

  • Make your own character on the smart board and show how to do the pair work with JLT.

  • Kids should pair up with 3 different people and compliment their characters using the vocab.

I did this for my special ED JHS first graders who have a hard time sitting through a full lesson. It's really helpful to have them engaged and up and about for at least half of the class with relevant activities and games. It also requires zero prep.
