Warm-up

• Ask the students if they know how to introduce themselves.
• Have the students practice introducing themselves to a partner.
• Ask the students to share with the class how they introduced themselves.

Direct Instruction

• Explain that when we introduce ourselves, we usually say our name, age, and something about ourselves (for example, where we are from, what we like to do, etc.).
• Model how to introduce yourself by saying your name, age, and something about yourself (For example: "My name is Angie, I'm seven years old, and I like to play soccer.").
• Ask the students to repeat what you said, encouraging them to use their own words.

Guided Practice

• Have the students work in pairs. Give each pair a set of paper figures or dolls to use as stand-ins for themselves and their partner.
• Have them practice introducing themselves to their partner, using the same technique as in the direct instruction.
• Encourage them to ask questions and make comments about their partner's introduction.

Independent Practice

• Have the students choose partners and do the activity for real. Encourage them to ask questions and make comments about their partner's introduction.

Closure

• Have the students share one thing they learned about themselves during the activity.

Assessment

• Observe the students during the reflection and note their understanding of the activity.
• Listen to their group discussion to assess their understanding of the concept of self-introduction.
