Lesson Plan for Students

Lesson Topic: Welcome Back — Getting to Know Each Other Again
What we’ll do: It’s been a while, and we have a new classmate joining us this year. We’ll catch up on what’s new, share a few opinions about what makes a good Friday morning lesson, and warm our English back up with some easy speaking practice — nothing heavy on day one.
Key Phrases: “It’s been a while”, “What I’ve been up to is…”, “I’d say it depends on…”, “On the other hand…”, “Welcome to the class.”
What to bring: Just yourself, your curiosity, and your voice.
See you Friday!

Think of one small thing that happened to you between February and now that you’d be willing to share in two sentences.
