Lesson 2 - TOUR OF A UNIT The Let’s learn! page presents the key language structure through a humorous cartoon usually featuring Tom, Izzy and Coco. These are light-hearted and often end with Coco causing mischief or in some kind of fix! The dialogue is on the page as speech bubbles and on the audio. The speech bubbles are provided for environmental exposure to the text and children are not expected to read them.
Let’s learn!
Where’s my bag?
Oh, Coco! Where’s the bin?
Where’s my notebook?
It’s under the chair.
It’s on the table.
It’s next to the door. There is always a preliteracy task on the page where children respond to a question or complete a sentence by drawing or circling something that personalizes the language for them.
The children sing a song or do a chant at the end of the lesson to practise and consolidate the language.
