Step 4 Read and say

Note: There are many different expressions one may use as a reply to thank you, depending on the situation and the person one is talking to. For example, one may use youre welcome as in the dialogue, but one may also say, Thats all right, Dont mention it, Its OK, and Its my pleasure, just to mention a few answers.

2. Divide the class into groups of three, preferably each group should contain two boys and one girl. If this isnt possible, have the students change the character names to fit the students genders.

3. Have each group read through the dialogue using the look and say method. Then give them time to try to memorize the dialogue and act it out. As they are practising, walk around the room and help where needed.

4. If time allows, have an acting contest: Choose three groups and have each of the groups come up and do the dialogue for the rest of the class. Have the class vote on which dialogue they thought was best, group 1, 2, or 3. Then give the winning group a prize if you wish, something like a pencil or an eraser.
