Step 1: Ways of communicating meaning of new vocabulary.

    First, middle, and last names can be communicated by writing your name on
    the board and by pointing. Middle initial can be shown by erasing all but
    the first letter of the middle name. Wife and husband and maiden name show
    with a stick figure genealogy chart similar to that used in Lesson 1.

Practice 5
    Just write the students' names on the board and point to the letters as you
    spell.

Practice 7
    Address -- Show an envelope with the address in it.
    Phone Number -- Use a play phone or a picture of a phone.
    Social Security Number -- Use security card.
    Area Code -- same as phone number. Zip Code -- Same as address.

Step 2: Write sentence patterns and vocabulary on cards.

Teaching:

Step 1: Introduce new vocabulary.
    Write your full name on the board, point to your first name and say, "My
    first name is __________." Follow a similar procedure with last name, and
    middle name. Erase all but your middle initial and repeat the sentence,
    substituting middle initial. Draw the genealogy chart similar to the one in
    Lesson 1 to introduce husband, wife, and maiden name.

Step 2: Model the first sentence.
    Teacher: My first name is __________.

Step 3: Students repeat (Using their own names).
    Teacher: My first name is __________.
    Class: My first name is __________.
    Individual: My first name is _________.

Step 4: Substitute new vocabulary.
    Teacher: My last name is __________.
    Class: My last name is __________.
    Individual: My last name is _________.

Repeat steps 2-4 with the question.
    What is your first name?

Step 5: Put sentences in realistic context.
    Teacher: What's your first name?
    Student: (My first name is) __________.
    Student: What's your last name?
    Student: (My last name is) __________.
