• Point out the Language Focus box and ask: Is Henry happy? Elicit and write on the board:
•
•
•
•

Henry is happy. Circle the word is. Explain that in English we always need to have a verb
in the sentence and that the verb here is a form of the verb “to be”. Explain that we use is
when we talk about a person or a thing. Elicit examples such as The dog is…; The pencil
is…; My mother is… Explain that we use this form when we want to:
o describe a person, an animal or a thing e.g. The boy is tall; My mother is a teacher;
The cat is white; The mat is dirty.
o describe how a person or an animal feels e.g. The boy is happy; The dog is sad.
o describe where a person, an animal or a thing is e.g. My mother is in the bedroom; The
pencil is on my desk.
Now ask a pupil: Are you happy? Elicit: I am happy. Write the sentence on the board.
Circle the word am. Explain that am is another form of the verb “to be” and we use it when
we talk about ourselves. Elicit sentences: I am a pupil; I am in the classroom; I am hungry.
Ask: Who are Henry and Lucy? Elicit: They are Superkids. Write the sentence on the
board and circle the word are. Explain that are is the form of “to be” used when we start
a sentence with we, you or they. Elicit sentences: We are pupils; You are a good teacher;
They are in school.
Have pupils look at the comic strip again and underline a sentence with am, is and are.
Have pupils read the sentences they underlined.
Have pupils practice using am, is, are by acting out the comic strip. Assign the roles and
stick the picture cards of Henry, Lucy and Mr. Moon on the children’s backs.
Have pupils do the exercise and check their answers by having pupils come to the board
and write their answers. (1. is, 2. is, 3. are, 4. am)
You may want to introduce Let’s Practice, Exercise 2 on page 22 for additional practice
at this point.
3. Match
• Orally review where Mr. Moon lives and where Henry and Lucy live. (on the moon; on
Earth)
•
•
Ask pupils who Henry and Lucy are and who they will help. Have pupils do the matching
task in the book. (1. b, 2. d, 3. a, 4. c)
Have individual pupils read their answers while the class checks their work.
4. Listen and Chant
• Have pupils find the words you and me in the text. Ask them who you refers to (Henry and
•
•
•
Lucy) and who me refers to. (Mr. Moon)
Play CD Track 6.
Ask pupils where Henry and Lucy are going. Have them complete the sentence. (moon)
Relate to the fantasy part of the story by asking: How do you think Henry and Lucy feel
about going to the moon? Would you like to go to the moon? Why does Mr. Moon want
them to come to the moon?
