Three-period lesson with the Thermic Bottles

Three-period lesson with the Thermic Bottles

First Period: the directress introduces each bottle to the child, she tells the child the names of each one and she asks him to repeat the names after her. She isolates each bottle by pacing it to one side and introduces the next one.

Second period: the directress asks the child to show her certain bottles she asks for, she spends a lot of time in this period, she can muddle them up and do it again.

Third Period: the directress asks the child if he can tell her the name of each bottle. She isolates each one by placing it to one side.

The directress consolidates the lesson by encouraging the child to name each bottle by pointing at each one individually.
