 Show image 12A-4: Beginning of race

Directions: Look at the picture. I will call on you one at a time to say a

short sentence about the picture. After we have two short sentences, we

will put them together to make a longer sentence.

Note: There may be variations in the sentences created by your class.

As students say something about the picture, repeat what they say. If

the sentence produced is ungrammatical, restate the correct form of

the sentence. Once there are two ideas, combine them to make one

sentence. See examples below.
