Play Hangman by inviting students
to discover the mysterious
character. Prepare the description
of a well-known fairy tale character.
Write a tale dash for each of the
letters in the character’s name.
Invite students to guess the
character. Provide clues when
students ask for help. Example:
She’s a girl who walks through the
woods with a basket of food. (Little
Red Riding Hood).
Listen to the story and match the
pictures to the events by placing the
corresponding capital letters in the
circles.
Invite students to go back to the
pictures and predict the correct
sequence of the actions. Encourage
them to use these words to explain
the sequence: first, second, third,
then, next. Then have them listen
and check their predictions.
Draw students’ attention to the
adverbs and Vocabulary Strategy.
Guide students into explaining in
their own words the strategy by
asking some questions: How do you
form an adverb? What suffix do you
use?
Invite students to read the
sentences and decide if they’re true
or false. Have them compare their
answers with a partner and elicit an
explanation for every true or false
answer.
Play the audio again, and invite
5. them to pay attention to how the
story is told and the different
people interacting with questions
and comments about the story.
Challenge students to find more
ways to react to a story. Write on
the board: Ways to react to a story.
Guide students to discover the
different techniques people use to
react to stories.
Invite students to agree or disagree
with this sentence: Imagination is
more important than knowledge.
Challenge students to think of the
creator of this quote (Albert
Einstein). Scramble the letters of his
name and have students discover
the name. Write on the board:
RATBLE TNEESIIN.
Invite students to look at the
pictures and write the number of
the character next to its
corresponding word. Allow some
time for students to use their
dictionaries and clarify doubts. Get
students in pairs to check their
answers and have them practice
saying the words out loud.
Challenge students to close their
books and remember all the
characters and places that appear in
the illustration. Explain that this
technique helps them remember.
Go over the headings of the chart
before you ask students to classify
the words. Allow some time for this
and then have them get in pairs to
6. check their answers. To activate the
vocabulary, invite students to
describe magical characters, people
and places.
Write imagine on the board and
clarify to students that this exercise
has sentences that refer to
imaginary situations. Invite students
to complete the sentences with the
words from the previous exercise
and their own ideas. Go over the
example. Clarify that answers vary.
Invite students to share their
answers with peers and discover
very original fantasies.
Invite students to read the title and
explore any ideas they might have
about the story.
Play a trivia game about Greek
stories. Ask these questions. A
horse with wings. a. Hercules b.
Pegasus c. Zeus.
Challenge them to tell you the 3
most important words in each
cloud. Encourage them to tell you
what they know about these words.
Also ask them to find elements in
common between both clouds.
Invite students to read silently and
do the corresponding exercises.
Point out that while students are
reading they can apply a variety
strategies like: pausing to think
about previous ideas, asking
themselves questions and using
context and visual clues. If students
are reading silently they might not
7. read at the same pace, so you can
go around the classroom giving the
instructions individually.
When students make predictions, it
helps keep them involved in the
text. Have them continue reading
and direct their attention to the
pictures so they understand each of
the alternatives they can choose.
Allow some time for students to
read the choices, clarify vocabulary.
Ask some volunteers to read the
answers for the class to discuss
those answers. Encourage students
to give their point of view.
Point out re-reading is a strategy
that can help them clarify ideas
because they get another chance to
read while thinking about the
overall message of the text and how
all the information is related and
how it is organized. Go over the
questions before students read for
the second time so that they can
focus on the answers to these
questions.
Invite some volunteers to read the
two columns. Encourage students to
predict the meaning of these idioms
and use clues in the context to
guess their meaning. To check
answers, pair up the students and
have them discuss their answers
with their partners.
Tell students the story so that they
can relate and connect to the story
when reading the anecdote. You
8. might like to show students some
pictures from the Internet so they
get familiar with the story. Write
these important words on the board
and have students use the Glossary
or a dictionary to find the meaning.
Invite students to read the
questions and ask them to
personalize the idioms by thinking
about a situation of their own when
they have done or felt that way.
Encourage the students to provide
more information.
