It focuses on literal aspects of the photograph: what the children are doing. Encourage learners to use full sentences when they answer. 3.

Listen to a story This activity can be used to do a baseline assessment of listening skills. If so, learners can answer the questions in the After you listen in writing. If you are not going to use it for baseline assessment, they can be done orally, in groups. Organise the class into groups before you start the Before you listen section. Before you listen 1. Explain that you are going to read a story about the children in the picture on page 2. 2. Discuss the questions with the class. Learners use the picture and words to predict what the story might be about. 3. Explain that you will read the story four times. Remind them to sit still and concentrate while they listen. While you listen 1. The first time you read the story, encourage learners to close their eyes and just listen. 7 2. The second time, ask them to look at the pictures while you read. When you have finished, discuss the predictions they made in Before you read. How are they the same as the story? How are they different? 3. Read the story a third time. Learners write down the words they do not understand. Discuss the meanings of the words with learners. Encourage learners to work out the meaning themselves. To help them do this, read the sentences in which the word occurs. Then go through the words and meaning in the Word list. 4. The fourth time, learners sit and listen carefully again. After you listen 1. Learners work either individually and answer the questions in writing, or they discuss the questions in groups. Read through Questions 1a–e in this section. Questions 1a–c require literal answers. Question 1d requires analysis, synthesis and organisation of information in the story, and Question 1e draws on learner’s own experience. 2. In Question 2, learners use a frame to retell the story to a partner. The learners should retell the story in the correct sequence, using the simple past tense, and name the characters correctly. Spelling and punctuation Learners complete a word building exercise in which they match beginnings and endings to words. They draw on phonic knowledge. Answers should include: helpful, unhelpful, friendly, unfriendly, grandfather. These answers are optional: grandfatherly, fatherly. Baseline Assessment For listening assessment, use the memorandum provided in After you listen to mark the answers. For speaking assessment, ask learners to retell the story ‘Our rope swing’ to a partner without using the frame that they have completed. Walk around the class to observe the learners speak. Informal assessment If the comprehension questions are answered orally, circulate from group to group. Take note of learners who are struggling to answer the questions. You will need to do some remedial work with them during the year. Also, if this is the first group activity they are doing this year, use your observations to organize groups into different levels. Use the ideas in the introduction of the Teacher’s Guide to help you. LESSON 2: Reading and Viewing Homework Learners complete the word building activity in the Spelling and punctuation section. If there is time, do it orally in class. They must complete it in writing.

Discuss the questions as a class. 2. In Question 1a learners point at items listed in the picture. 3. In Question 1b learners imagine what the children in the picture are saying to one another. 4. In Question 1c learners use the title and picture to predict what will happen in the story. 5. Read the story to the class. Read it a second time. 6. Ask learners to read the story quietly on their own. They must do this twice. While you read 1. Learners practice reading the story aloud with a partner. They should try to use expression and help one another pronounce new words. 2. Learners need to think about situations in the story that may be dangerous. 8 After you read 1. Read through the questions with the class. 2. Ask learners to complete the questions in writing. Question 1 requires literal answers. Questions 2–4 require metacognitive responses. Spelling and punctuation Read the help item Using your dictionary (Learner’s Book page 172) with the learners. This explains where to find words that start with the same letter. Learners now find the words ‘allowed’ and ‘afraid’ in the dictionary. (They need to look at the second letter in each word to work out that the word ‘allowed’ appears after the word ‘afraid’.) LESSON 3: Language Focus Baseline assessment Reading comprehension: Use the memorandum provided in After you read to mark the comprehension.
