Poor Joe is all in pieces, and he needs young scholars 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. Close the day with a presentation, and reinforce the terms with the second lesson included here, which uses a game of Simon says to teach commands
