partner. ( textbook page 64)

Using “look up and say” technique:
- Read the dialogue aloud with a partner

- Read silently, pausing to look up and say each line in turn without referring to the written text.

- Turn paper over and repeat the dialogue as best you can from memory. (the remembering of concepts rather than memorization of lines.)
