6. Who are you?
• We are going to be working together for an entire year. It is pretty
important that I get to know you, and you get to know me.

yourself to me. We will look at an example and I will give you a
checklist of what to include.
• There will also be an extension activity for those who finish or
would like a challenge. You should always strive to complete these.

7. Look at these two examples. Which is better and
why? Discuss with your neighbour.
1. my name is miss kristian and I like to bake cakes and i always bring
them in for my classes when they are really good. i have two sibling
called louise and paul and i live with my boyfriend. i have 4 guinea pigs
and I love them a lot. i also really like dogs and go crazy when i see
puppies or anything soft and cute. people often tell me i am crazy.
2. Hello! I’m Miss Kristian; but you can call me Miss. I’m a teacher at
Chellaston Academy and I love my job. Teaching isn’t my only passion as
my students soon find out. Baking is one of my favourite past times and
I often bring these in when my class has been extra brilliant. As well as
cooking in my free time I look after and care for four cute guinea pigs.
Small soft things are a real weakness for me, so much so that I often
squeak and go very gooey at puppies, kittens and bunnies. Due to this
reaction people often think I am crazy.

8. Checklist for your introduction:
• Start your sentences with different words, not just ‘I’
• Vary your vocabulary (use a thesaurus if you need to.)
• Check your spelling, punctuation and grammar. E.g. full stops, capital
letters and commas.
• Try to create a friendly, exciting tone.
• Content Ideas
• What primary school you went to
• Who your friends are
• Where you live / who you live with
• Your hobbies and interests
• What your favourite / least favourite subject is
• What your strengths/weaknesses are in English
Extension: Sketch a picture
of yourself in pencil and
label it with descriptive
words.
