Lesson Structure

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Greeting: Welcome students warmly, and explain that today's lesson is all about getting to know each other better—it's an "All About Me" day!
2. Discussion: Ask students questions to prompt them to think about what makes them unique, such as:
   • What is your name?
   • How old are you?
   • What is your favorite color?
   • Do you have any pets?
   • What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Activity 1: All About Me Template (10 minutes)

1. Distribute Materials: Hand out the “All About Me” templates to each student and explain the different sections (name, age, favorite color, hobbies, etc.).
2. Guided Creation: Allow students time to fill out their templates, encouraging them to draw pictures or add colorful decorations.
3. Provide Assistance: Walk around to support students as needed, offering prompts or helping them articulate their thoughts.

Activity 2: Sharing Their Templates (10 minutes)

   • Explain that each student will have 1-2 minutes to present.
   • Use a timer to help students manage their time and ensure everyone has a chance to speak.

Wrap Up (5 minutes)

1. Reflection: Gather students together and lead a discussion about what they learned about their classmates. Ask questions such as:

   • How did it feel to share your information with the class?

2. Closing Activity: As a closing activity, allow students to decorate a large poster board with their favorite things (e.g., colors, animals) that represent the class as a whole. Put it up in the classroom as a reminder of their unique qualities.
