5th Grade : I will introduce my hero.

Today 5th grade students had their fourth class on the topic `Who is your hero?`. In this topic they are studying how to introduce someone who they admire while using the phrase `He/She is good at ~`.

We started class with our usual greetings and greeting game. The teachers did a demonstration. Today we used the question "What is your favorite anime character?". The students helped the teachers to guess the answers.
Do you know who Ms. Emily's favorite anime character is?

Her name is Melon-panna chan!

The students asked each other about their favorite anime character. It was a very interesting topic for the students.

"That's right!!"

After the greeting game we did the chant. In the first class everyone thought it was very very fast and impossible. However, now it's the fourth class the students are singing along with the chant and doing gestures, too! Practice makes perfect!

Everyone tried to make funny and interesting gestures. It makes doing the chants more fun!

Next, the teachers demonstrated today's activity. Everyone will introduce their hero.

After watching the demonstration the students had a short time to prepare. If they had any questions about how to say anything in English then they asked the teachers. After preparing it was time to practice in pairs.

After practing the pairs the students got into groups and introduced their heros.

Everyone tried hard to listen when people were introducing their hero.

The teachers picked one group to give a good demonstration.

Finally the students wrote about their reflections of the class.

The teachers asked some of the students to tell everyone what they wrote.
