Make sure there are a variety of activities. Provide help as necessary.

Use the Presentation Kit for interactive activities in this lesson.

Write out five different sentences on cards, then cut the cards in half so that each card has half a sentence. Repeat

until you have one card per student. Give them out to students at random. Have each student stand up and look for the student that has the other half of his or her sentence. Ask students to read their sentences aloud.
