This is my dog, Spot.

• Tell Ss to draw a picture of their pet. If they haven't got one, ask them to draw a picture of a pet they'd like to have. Tell Ss to think of a name for their pet.

• Go around monitoring Ss. If Ss have drawn any unknown pets, make sure to teach any new pet vocabulary necessary before Ss present their pets to the class.

• Call Ss up to the front of the class and have them present their pets individually.

OPTIONAL Piecing the puzzle

• Divide Ss into small groups.

• Give an envelope with the six puzzle pieces to each group.

• Explain that Ss in their group have to do the puzzle and call out the animal.

• The group who does it first wins.

• Alternatively, you can prepare four- piece puzzles and hand a puzzle piece to each S. Let Ss wander around the classroom to find their 'puzzle mates'.

Workbook (OPTIONAL)

1  Have Ss turn to the back of their Workbooks, find the appropriate stickers and stick them in the corresponding places.

2. Have Ss point to the colours at the top of the page and say them aloud. Ask Ss to colour only the shapes with numbers in them, according to the key at the top of the page.

• Once Ss have finished, divide them into pairs. Ss take turns pointing to each pet and talking about it, as in the example in the rubric.

• Ask some Ss to come up to the front of the class, point to each pet and say.

Key It's a cat. It's yellow.

It's a bird. It's blue, green and yellow.
