Eating Your Lunch

Identify and follow the lunch sequence: lining up, getting food, finding a seat, eating and cleaning up

Use the first-person narrative to anticipate or describe relevant steps in the learner’s lunch routine

Read the story repeatedly across several days before the actual lunch period, since the twelve short pages are built for repetition rather than a single read-through.

Pair each page with the matching real-world action — pointing to a tray, knife, and fork as they're mentioned — to reinforce the connection between the story and the physical routine.

Use the one-step-per-page structure to review the sequence out of order once students are familiar with it, asking what comes before or after a given step.

Routine sequencing — students follow the ordered steps of the school lunch routine from lining up to cleanup.

Self-narration modelling — the first-person structure gives students first-person language to anticipate and describe their own actions during lunch.
