This card is designed to help grade 1 learners practice simple sentences for introducing themselves and others. Follow these steps to effectively use it in your classroom:
Step 1: Warm-up Activity
1. Begin by introducing the concept of self-introduction. Say, “I am [Your Name]. I have a [Your Object].”
2. Explain how we can introduce others using phrases like “This is [Name]. He/She has a [Object].”
Step 2: Demonstration
1. Show the card to the class and read the dialogues aloud.
2. Role-play the scenario: Pretend to be Juhi and say, “I am Juhi. I have a pen.” Then introduce Chaitali and Atharva using the sentences provided.
3. Use gestures to point to the individuals in the card for better understanding.
Step 3: Learner Practice
1. Select three learners and assign them roles (e.g., Juhi, Chaitali, Atharva). Give them the necessary props (pen, bag, textbook).
2. Guide them to act out the dialogues while pointing to each other. Encourage correct pronunciation and confidence.
Step 4: Whole Class Activity
1. Divide the class into small groups of three. Ask each group to role-play using similar sentences but with their own names and objects.
For example: “I am Riya. I have a pencil.”
“This is Aarav. He has a notebook.”
2. Rotate groups and ensure everyone gets a chance to speak.
Step 5: Reading Practice
1. Distribute the printed text of the dialogues.
2. Encourage learners to read the sentences aloud, one by one, in a group setting.
Step 6: Extension Activity
1. Let learners create their own dialogues, introducing themselves and their friends with different objects.
2. Encourage creativity by asking them to draw or write about the objects they mention.
