generate interaction between teacher and students. The teacher guides the students in each
activity, providing them with clear examples and activities related to the subject. Also, students
make use of the main skills; listening, speaking and writing.

discussion about the objects in their kitchen, relating them to the context of each one,
internalizing the previous knowledge.

(what can you see?) according to the picture, they must answer immediately taking into
account previous information.
