Co ooll Grammar Co Verb to be We use the verb to be to talk about states of being. It is a ruler. We use the Wh- question What to find out information about something. To make Whquestion, we invert the subject and the verb to be. What is it?

Value Being Friendly page T6

To form a Yes/No question, we switch the position of the subject and the verb to be. Is it an apple?

It’s nice to be friendly.

To answer a Yes/No question, we use Yes or No, followed by the subject and the verb to be. Is it a notebook? Yes, it is./No, it isn’t.

Cool Tip! Allow students to help set classroom rules to give them ownership in the discipline process. Post the rules and consequences in the classroom.

Materials A ball, half-sheets of paper (one per pair), coins (one per pair)

Warm-up Toss the ball to a student and ask him or her a question from this unit: What’s your name? Encourage him or her to answer and then toss the ball back to you. Repeat the procedure several times.

Class Activity 1 Play Let’s Go to School! Have students open their books to page 14, Activity 1. Invite them to look at the game. Explain that students are on their way to school along with Benji and COOL-1. Point out the school picture in the Finish! square. Divide the class into pairs. Have them write their names on small squares of paper and place them on the Start! space. Explain that they have to take turns tossing the coin. If it is heads, they advance one space. If it is tails, they advance two spaces. Students have to give a correct response to the questions or phrases on the spaces. If the answer is correct, they can stay on the new space. If it is not correct, they return to the previous space. If they land on a space that says Stop!, they lose a turn. The first student to get to the Finish! square wins.

Optional Activity O M Materials Index cards Preparation Write the name of a school object on an index card and cut it in half, dividing the word. Make one half for each student. Hand out the index cards. Explain to students that they have to find the student with the other part of their word: What is it? Is it an elephant? When they find their pair, they give each other a high five.

Assign page 12 as homework.

Elicit the completed dialogue. Tell students to do the rest of the activity on their own. Invite volunteers to write the questions and answers on the board. Check answers with the class. 3 Unscramble and answer the questions. Show students the scrambled questions. Encourage them to unscramble the first question. Check the answer and explain if necessary. Tell students to do the second question on their own. Monitor them. Next, have them answer the questions. Choose volunteers to read the questions and answers aloud.

D Divide the board in half. Have two students come to the front and have each of them go to one side of the board and write a vocabulary word, twice, on their side of the board. (Each of them is writing the same word twice. Tell them that it is important to write the two copies of the word far away from each other, within their half of the board.) Repeat the procedure several times. Divide the group into two teams. Explain to students that each team will have one half of the board. They have to find and join the identical words they hear. The first team to correctly find and join each pair of words gets a point. The team with the most points is the winner.
