Sentence building: Students create simple sentences using the fruit vocabulary (e.g., "I like to eat bananas").

Part 2: Car Vocabulary and Phrases

This will be done in a natural and engaging way, avoiding explicit grammar instruction that might overwhelm young learners. For example, we'll focus on simple sentence structures, using descriptive adjectives, and understanding simple action verbs.

Assessment:

Assessment will be informal and focus on participation and engagement. Observe students' ability to use the new vocabulary in various contexts, their understanding of simple instructions, and their creativity in the activities. Encourage and praise their efforts, making the learning experience positive and rewarding.
