Unit 15 introduces nouns for articles of clothing such as hat, shirt and shoes and related verbs (button, tie, zip, put on and take off). Beginning English learners discover how the prefix un- changes the meaning of a verb. Students also review and expand their understanding of opposites and sequence words like first, next, then and last. They also see how to use the words this and that, these and those. Each session has language drills found in the student workbook.

Session 2 begins with vocabulary review and then introduces this, that, these and those.
