Pocket chart; matching vocabulary; power writing; frame sentences.

Objective: Using previous language experiences from 3L, students will retell by pantomime specific places of the neighborhood habitat.

Activity: Using the individual power writings (from 3L) students will pantomime the places they wrote about. Students who did other exercises will choose a place and do a pantomime. Other students in the class will guess where the pantomime is.

Assessment: Class will correctly identify location of pantomime based on students' performances.
