Intro 1 Explain to pupils in Slovene how the lesson will proceed by displaying the visual timetable (see example above). Place the visual timetable on the board or have a ready-made frame for it hung on the wall and stick pictures to it.

Intro 2 Inform the children when you will be speaking Slovene (at the beginning – intro - and during the Reflect & Connect sections) otherwise you will be speaking only in English to the pupils. You can even put a picture of yourself on the visual timetable to indicate the times you will be speaking to them in Slovene. You may even wish to ask a pupil to put the pictures up as you explain the timetable. You can explain the timetable by saying: For example (in Slovene): “Today we will begin with our greeting/hello song followed by our pointing poem, tonguetwister on sausages, and our weather song. Then we will sing a song/recite a poem about family called “Where’s My Father?” Then you will come to the floor and we will learn some new words about our family. When you see my picture, we will talk in Slovene and you can tell me what you think and how you feel about what we have learned today so far. I will ask a few different pupils each time. Then we will continue with math. We will start by counting using our bodies and learn about (see PART B). After the math section, you can tell me in Slovene about what you know and understand. We will finish our lesson with our good-bye song/poem.”

Your pupils will appreciate knowing exactly what they are doing at every stage of the lesson. Pupils of all learning abilities and disabilities will be able to follow the structure and rhythm of the lesson. It should also help with minimizing any pupil disturbances.

Greeting song

Start your lesson with the greeting song or recitation. Add actions to the song when you can (e.g. shake hands when you say “welcome”, wave your arm for “come on in”,and jump and throw your hands up in the air when you say “fun”, etc.).

Greeting song/recitation Welcome, Welcome Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

Come on in and join the fun. School is fun for everyone.

Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

This song is sung to the tune of Old MacDonald. Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

Seasonal song Follow the greeting song with a short and quick song, poem, tongue-twister, recitation and/or verse. This will help the children to get their tongues and mouths warmed up for English, and add a bit of laughter and expression each time. Try to add a few gestures and actions if possible.

Seasonal song/poem/recitation/verse/tongue-twister (examples) 1 Point to the window, point to the door, jump to the ceiling, stomp on the floor.

2 Ten super sausages, sizzling in a pan. One goes (snap), another goes (clap).

Eight super sausages, sizzling in a pan. One goes (snap), another goes (clap). etc.

(Or the teacher chooses what they think is relevant to add to the existing curriculum.)

Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to ideas for this section.

Weather song Conclude with the weather song. Make certain you place the weather picture on the visual timetable according to the weather on the day that you are singing the song.

Weather song How’s the Weather?

How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY (depending on the weather that day).

How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY. How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY. It’s SUNNY today.

Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

Topic 1 Show the pupils the picture of a family and tell them “Family – this is a family.” Using actions, instruct your pupils to push their chairs in and stand beside their desks. You do not need to explain any vocabulary at this point, but you may want to elicit the word family. You have already explained to them what you will be doing and talking about at the beginning of the lesson. Introduce the song “Where’s My Father?” in a rote fashion (teacher sings and pupils repeat each line). Have the pupils use gestures while singing (e.g. shrugging shoulders for where, using facial expressions for the feelings, pointing for there).

Each week add the new vocabulary and repeat the previous weeks’ vocabulary.

For a preview of this activity, go to www.lilibi.si and watch the video.

Topic song

Where’s My Father?

Where’s my father? Where’s my father?

There he is. There he is.

My father is happy. Yes, he is happy.

That’s my father. That’s my father.

Where’s my mother? Where’s my mother?

There she is. There she is.

My mother is angry. Yes, she is angry.

That’s my mother. That’s my mother.

Add to the song by singing about brother and sister.

Add to the song in subsequent weeks, repeating/reviewing the previous words.

Week 2 – grandmother, grandfather Week 3 – uncle, aunt, cousin Add the expressions sad and tired for all weeks.

This song is sung to the tune of Frere Jacques. Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

Topic 2

Instruct your pupils to get their flash cards and come and sit down on the floor. Make certain that you are by the board. Have the flash cards of the family members you were singing about during the lesson ready (e.g. mother, father, brother, sister, etc.). Choose a pupil near you and ask the class “Who is this?“ Make gestures to ensure your pupils understand what you are asking them. If they do not know, you can answer, “This is …” Introduce that by choosing a pupil away from you and ask, “Who is that?“ Make gestures to ensure your pupils understand what you are asking them. “That is …” Use visual grammar for reinforcement of the structure being learned.

Look at the facial expressions and review the faces in your pack. Start with happy and angry, and slowly add the other two feelings in the following lessons.

Topic 3

Have a pupil choose one of the family member cards (e.g. mother) and come to the front of the classroom. Choose a feeling (e.g. happy) and hold the two pictures together. Have the pupils create an answer. Elicit the response, “The mother is happy.”

Use visual grammar for reinforcement of the structure being learned (see example below). Have the pupils repeat. Ask the question, “Is the mother happy?” Shake your head for the response of no and nod your head for the response of yes. Elicit the response, “Yes.” and add “She is happy.” (emphasize the word she). Ask the question, “Is the mother sad?” Shake your head for the response of no and nod your head for the response of yes. Elicit the response, “No.” and add “She is not sad.” (emphasize the word she). Use visual grammar for reinforcement of the structures being learned (see example below). Remember, the pupils are not learning the word she, but are being introduced to it through the oral process.

Have a pupil choose one of the family members (e.g. brother) and come to the front of the classrom. Choose a feeling (e.g. angry) and repeat the same concept as above. Remember, the pupils are not learning the word he, but are being introduced to it through the oral process.

Topic 4

In weeks 2 and 3, you can further develop or introduce additional responses. For example, “The mother is angry.” You can ask, “Is the mother happy?” Pupils learn, “No. The mother is not happy. She is angry.” This is very much dependent on your class.

TOPIC 4

Reflect & Connect Show the pupils on the visual timetable that it is now time for you to speak Slovene. Have the pupils sitting on the floor and ask them in Slovene whether or not they think they understood what was being taught/learned so far (including the weather song, seasonal song/poem/verse/recitation). Some example questions and statements could be: 路 Tell me what you liked about this activity. 路 What did you find challenging about this activity? 路 Was learning today easier or more difficult than you thought? Tell me why you thought so. 路 2 thumbs up if you could remember 2 or 3 words.

PART B (see weekly lesson pages for details)

Conclusion Tell (gesture) the pupils to stand up to sing the good-bye song in rote fashion until they know the song by heart.

This lesson is a review and builds upon a previous lesson.

Subject 1

Have the children stand up and give a good shake before sitting down on the floor. Prepare your shapes. Introduce yourself, “My name is Mr. Smith.” Show the visual grammar. Ask some pupils, “What is your name?” Elicit, “My name is …” Show the visual grammar. Review and consolidate the expressions and phrases: hello, my name is …, I live in …, good-bye from Topic 1, Week 1, Lesson 2. In this lesson you will build upon the conversation to include: I am 7/8. I have a brother. I have 2 sisters, etc.

Use the visual grammar shapes as cues to review the answers to the question being reviewed (e.g. My name is Jana. – see example below). You can eventually have the children come up and read the sentence, pointing to the shapes as they say the sentence. If there are any children in the class who are capable of remembering what was being taught, use them to ask the questions, “What is your name?” and have them ‘be the teacher.’

TOPIC 4

Subject 2

Continue saying “I am 7.” and using gestures. Show the visual grammar cues. Ask the pupils, “How old are you?” Elicit, “I am 7/8 …” Continue saying “I have a brother.” and using gestures. Show the visual grammar cues. Ask the pupils, “Do you have a brother?” Elicit, “Yes. I have a brother.” If a pupil has 2 or 3 brothers, then show the visual grammar cues for, “I have 2 brothers.”

Expect answers in Slovene, but repeat them in English so that the pupils are exposed to the vocabulary as much as possible.

It will eventually sink in. Some pupils will speak up in English sooner than others. Encourage them, but never force pupils into speaking up before they are ready.

Use the visual grammar shapes as cues each time the pupils attempt to answer a question (e.g. “I live in Celje.” – see example above). You can eventually have children come up and read the sentence, pointing to the shapes as they say the sentence.

If there are any children in the class who are capable of remembering what was being taught, use them to ask questions, “Where do you live?” and have them ‘be the teacher.’

Using the visual grammar examples on the board, review the two sentences by pointing to the visual grammar cues as you speak: Hello.

My name is …

I live in Celje.

Have the class as a whole read the visual sentences out loud as you point to the shapes. Invite a pupil to come up and create a short dialogue. The pupils work in pairs and imitate the conversation of the teacher and the pupil: Teacher: Hello! (shaking hands with the pupil).

Pupil: Hello! (pupil shaking hands with the teacher).

Teacher: My name is …

Pupil: My name is …

Teacher: I live in …

Pupil: I live in …

Teacher: I am 8.

Pupil: I am 7.

Teacher: I have a brother. I have 2 sisters.

Pupil: I have 2 brothers.

Teacher: Good-bye. (waving) Pupil: Good-bye. (waving)

Subject 2

Time permitting, have the pupils stand up and work in pairs to practise this short dialogue, preferably in unison. Take turns using the visual grammar as cues for structure. Time permitting, have a few pupils come up and practise their conversation.

Subject 2 Have the children get their flash cards and bring them to the floor. Sitting on the floor, review the flash cards taught in PART A (father, mother brother, sister), and consolidate the question, “Who is this?”

Put the pictures of brother, mother and father on the board in this order. Ask the pupils to read the pictures on the board, pointing to the pictures as they read them to you. Ask them, “Who comes after the brother? Who comes after the mother?”

Read the pattern again as, “first is the brother, then the mother, then the father”. Have the pupils repeat the sentence, while you point to the visual grammar for reinforcement. Read the visual grammar in a rhythmic way, as it will make learning a longer sentence easier and more interesting.
