First Day Introductions (In Class)
A fun, informative dialogue for Grade 7 students—complete with classroom tips, vocabulary, and ice-breakers.
Setting: First period on the first day of school. Students are seated. A welcome message is on the board: “Be curious. Be kind. Be brave.”
Ms. Aisha
Good morning, everyone! I’m Ms. Aisha, your English and Social Studies teacher. Let’s learn names, interests, and one personal goal for this year. Remember our class norms: active listening, kindness, and clear communication.
Ali
I’m Ali. I love science experiments and football. My goal is to speak more confidently during presentations.
Ms. Aisha
Great, Ali! Tip: try the “3-point share”—hook, two supports, and a closing line.
Sara
I’m Sara. I enjoy reading mystery novels and drawing. My goal is to keep my notes organized.
Ms. Aisha
Nice! Try Cornell notes: cues on the left, notes on the right, and a short summary at the bottom.
Hassan
I’m Hassan. I like coding simple games. My goal is to improve my teamwork on group projects.
Ms. Aisha
Teamwork tip: use the roles Facilitator, Recorder, and Presenter. Rotate weekly so everyone practices new skills.
Fatima
I’m Fatima. I enjoy baking and poetry. My goal is to ask more questions when I’m confused.
Ms. Aisha
Excellent! Use the “I-Wonder” frame: “I wonder if…,” “Could it be that…,” or “What would happen if…?”
Lina
Hi, I’m Lina. I just moved here from another city. I love photography. My goal is to make new friends and learn classroom routines.
Ms. Aisha
Welcome, Lina! Our routines: 1) Warm-up on the board, 2) Mini-lesson, 3) Practice, 4) Reflection. If you’re ever unsure, ask a class buddy.
Ali
I can be Lina’s buddy today. Also, can we do an ice-breaker?
Ms. Aisha
Yes! “Two Truths and a Goal.” Share two true facts and one learning goal. Listeners guess the goal and give one tip to support it.
Sara
Two truths: I have a cat named Misty, and I’ve visited three museums. My goal: improve public speaking.
Hassan
Tip for Sara: record yourself, time it, and check your posture. Also, try talking to the back row to project your voice.
Fatima
Two truths: I bake the best brownies, and I can write in calligraphy. My goal: join a club.
Lina
Tip for Fatima: the Art & Literature Club meets on Wednesdays. You could share your calligraphy!
Ms. Aisha
Before we end, quick expectations: keep a growth mindset, submit work on time, and support each other. For homework, write a 100-word self-introduction using the 3-point share.
Ali
Challenge accepted!
Sara
Can we add one fun fact section to our notebooks?
Ms. Aisha
Great idea. Title it “About Me”—interests, strengths, and goals. We’ll revisit it mid-term to track progress.
