Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Gather your students at the group area where you have set up the projector.

- Show your students the object. Identify it verbally and visually and then place it on the projector again.
Beginning
- Preview the lesson by introducing any new or potentially challenging vocabulary (e.g., "shadow") in students' home language (L1).
Intermediate
- Review shapes and shape names with the students.
- Create a visual display of different shapes and shape names for reference.
