Lesson: all about me

Encourage students to share personal details in a welcoming atmosphere. Ask engaging questions that prompt them to share their name, age, and things they enjoy or feelings they experience. Focus on making the interaction fun and comfortable for every student.

Students will participate in a 'My Self-Portrait and Favorites' activity, fostering self-expression and peer interaction.

Students will be able to identify and express personal preferences and share basic information about themselves with peers.

Setup:

Prepare individual sheets of paper for each student. Provide crayons, markers, and glue sticks. If using pictures, have a selection of magazines or pre-printed images available, or instruct students to bring small pictures from home of their favorite things.

Student Tasks:

Teacher's Role:

Circulate among students, offering encouragement and assistance as needed. Ask open-ended questions about their drawings and favorite things to prompt discussion. Model how to share their own name and a favorite thing to demonstrate the activity. Facilitate the sharing session, ensuring every student has an opportunity to participate and feel heard.

Transitions:

After the sharing activity, collect the drawings. You may display them in the classroom or send them home as a keepsake.
