Poor Joe is all in pieces, and he needs learners to learn the Latin words for his body parts so that they can put him back together! Learners work as a class first to perform whole-body reconstruction, and then individually. In addition, class members participate in a vocabulary chant, complete a worksheet, and work in groups to draw their own body to color and label with the vocabulary.
