Is, Am, Are Practice for beginners - Hickey Style lesson

 I like using the Hickey Method to teach the Alephabet, but now with one set of students, I want to teach grammar.  They like the format of the Hickey http://dye.macam.ac.il/dyellin_open.htm.  My students are also artists, so here is the lesson plan that I gave them, and then you can see the pictures that they drew!  Free free to use this in your teaching.  http://rachaelorbach.weebly.com



This is the text, and here I have the students say or write the correct verb.
