👋 Hello! Nice to Meet You: Greetings & the Verb 'To Be'
A fully interactive A1 Teens lesson built around a warm, relatable theme — the first day at a new school. Students warm up with four reflection questions about greetings in their own language, then study two grammar blocks: everyday greetings (hello/hi, good morning/afternoon/evening, goodbye/bye/see you) and the verb 'to be' presented through clear formula cards for I/you/he/she/it/we/they in affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms. A short-forms table teaches the natural contractions (I'm, you're, he's, isn't, aren't), and nine essential introduction phrases (What's your name? / Nice to meet you! / Where are you from?) are chipped visually for quick memorisation. The reading is an original four-part story about Mariam, a new student from Egypt who meets her classmates Tom and Sara — every form of 'to be' is bolded for visual reinforcement and key words have hover-tooltip definitions. Ten A1 vocabulary items appear in a horizontally-scrollable table with part of speech, simple definition, and example, while six core words also get detailed flashcards. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions with hints, live validation, and score tracking; a speaking section with first-day role-play prompts and a model dialogue; a guided writing task with a five-point checklist and live word counter; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz with progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
