\n\tLesson\/Unit Summary: <\/strong>In this unit, students learn numbers, animal names, singular and plural forms and body actions. The unit consists of four lessons. The poem selected for the first lesson is \u201cHow many?\u201d and that for the second to the fourth lessons is \u201cZoo Dream\u201d. In Lesson 1, a song and a video are used to introduce numbers 1 \u2013 20. Pictorial clues are also used to help pupils develop an understanding of the poem and learn how to ask questions about quantities. Through the \u201cStationery Buyer Game\u201d and a stanza-writing task, students are given opportunities to consolidate their learning of number telling. In Lessons 2 to 4, students learn animal names and body action verbs. Their attention is also drawn to the alliteration used in the poem \u201cZoo Dream\u201d. Through a self-discovery activity, students learn to distinguish the singular and plural forms. Various activities such as games, body movements and information gap activities are designed to strengthen students\u2019 learning. The video at the end aims to expand students\u2019 vocabulary on body actions and help them complete the final writing task.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
