Warm-up

Review the parts of the body before doing this lesson. Here are flashcards to do that. Project the picture and have students think about what the story will be about. For this activity, I will review "Mr. White is Sick. " Ask the students how does the man in the picture feel? What is he doing?

Introduction

Today you are going to read the story, "Mr. White is Sick." You will learn some new words and practice some reading, writing, and typing.

The story has an immersive reader. If you click on the icon, students can hear the story read to them. Read the story to the students and have them repeat it. Highlight the new words such as happy, sick, head, hurts, neck, hurts, tired, sleep, What's the matter?

Have the students get into pairs and read the story again. Walk around the room and listen to how they are reading. Help them if they are having problems. Ask students to try the typing practice.

They can do this either at home or in the school computer lab. Because it is typing they will need a keyboard to use for this activiy.
