I See Something You Dont See. What is it? - (15 minutes)

The students will listen as the ALT gives hints about something either inside the classroom or within view from the classroom. The goal of the students is to try to identify the object the ALT can see. The ALT will give a very easy demonstration. The ALT will write, What is it? on the board and have the class practice the sentence a few times. Today, the ALT will give clues very quickly. EXAMPLE- (quickly) ALT) I see something white and black. What is it? (no response). It is a circle. (ALT draws the shape on the board - no response). I look at this when I want to see the time. Its right there! (pointing at the clock) Student) the clock? ALT) Yes!! Now the ALT will play another round with a very easy object.

If there are any volunteers who would like to participate as the person giving hints, the ALT will invite them to come to the front of the class.
