First, we watch the video of Sesame street
-
Then, in the big group, we brainstorm and write on the board in three columns: person/ objects/ places.
-
We watch around the class and each group writes four sentences with these words, expressing quantity.
-
e.g: There is a teacher in the class/ There aren´t any atlases.
