							| Dear colleagues. I �m preparing for my observed lesson that �s gonna be on Tuesday. But I �ve run out of ideas, really. My head is a mess. I was going to show just the part of the lesson, but on Friday our head region teacher said that i have to conduct the whole lesson. So I �m very short of time. The topic is Around the city (places in town, directions..), grade 4 (the 3rd year of learning english), and i don �t know how to make a bright beginning of the lesson. Not just the ordinary "We have guests... say hello to our guests... let �s start our lesson..."  and that �s all. I was looking for some vivid greeting song, but I failed. There �s one that I liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpTLdI3Jpn4  but my kids won �t be able to learn it in one day,  i need something simple and interesting. Or maybe not a song, some rhyme anything some activity to start.. something for not more than 1 minute. I will be so so grateful! |  13 Dec 2014

							| Hi Katia:) places  (for vocabulary/ warm up maybe) 
 Back in the day, when I had 4th grade (they are now in grade 8), I used this activity  for pairwork. You can use it if you like. |  13 Dec 2014
