T: I want a bread,

Magic box A laughs at T, and says, hahaha, wrong. Then Magic box Some giggles and says, hhah, they don’t know bread is in me, only I have the special food and drinks. )

Practice:

Play a game.

Teacher points at the sentences on the board and have two teams or two students to say the words out loud, whoever is the fastest, wins.

Play a “What‘s missing game.”

Erase one of the sentences on the board and have them guess what is missing.

Produce:

What will you bring to our picnic next time?

Write n draw the things you will bring next time.

Sum up:

In English we have foods and things that are count and uncount.

For example,

Apples, oranges, bananas, schoolbags, desks and chairs are countable. We can count them, one, two, three….

But some things are uncountable , such as water, milk, bread, lettuce, air, are uncountable. Therefore we can say some…. . you can t count air, use the local language to help is very useful n funny in a way, too.

Okay, homework is for you to go home and distinguish things that you think is count or uncount. And make a list, next time, we will talk about them together.

Great to ……….

I look forward to seeing you next week.
