frame eight sentences using appropriate prepositions in each. Display all the charts in
the class.

Listening & Speaking Time

The teacher will encourage talking in the classroom under a guided atmosphere through

group activities. He/She will first take prepositions of place/direction and initiate talking
by giving prompts. He/She will call a group of four students to the front of the class
and give them prompts for talking. The whole class will carefully listen to the talk. The
students will discuss and then one of the four will reply to the teacher.

Prepositions Student : The playground is behind the main block. The senior school
For example: Teacher : Can you tell me where the playground and two libraries in
the school premises are?

library is adjacent to the senior wing. But we go across the
playground to reach the library. Since, Grade 1, we are,
however, using junior school library, which is within this

building only.

After finishing one round, the teacher will call other four students and repeat the same
activity with the prompts of some other places.
