“This is a pencil” and to other students’ pencil „That is a pencil”. After this, she takes two balls and
asks the student “What are these?” and then points to the balls that are far away and asks “What are
those?”. The students answer the questions. They are asked to repeat after her ”this”, ”these”, ”that”,
”those” . Then she uses gestures to show the difference between the demonstrative pronouns: this
(singular, close), that (sg, far), these (plural, close), those (plural, far). She writes the title of the lesson
