Where’s the ice cream?
1. First introduce the fruit: A MANGO, BANANAS, ORANGES and LEMONS.
The class guesses the fruit you are describing. Help in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian if necessary.
YOU CAN EAT THEM. MONKEYS LIKE THEM.
YOU CAN MAKE JUICE WITH THEM.
IT'S ALSO A NAME OF A COLOUR.
THEY ARE YELLOW. THEY ARE VERY SOUR. (show it with your face)
Finally, show them the picture of a MANGO: AND WHAT'S THIS? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT?
They are familiar with the word ice-cream. Ask: WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE ICE-CREAM? Ask: HOW MANY
SCOOPS (KUGLICA) OF ICE-CREAM CAN YOU EAT?
GDJE SE TE STVARI MOGU KUPITI? (Introduce more words.) IN A SHOP ( u prodavnici). YOU NEED SOME
MONEY (treba ti nešto novca) and A SHOPPING BAG (torba za kupovinu)
Draw a shopping bag on the board. Stick the fruit inside and say. LOOK, IT'S VERY HEAVY.
2. Tell the story and mime.
1 Luke's going to the shop.(Walk and wave with the shopping bag happily.)
2 He's buying a mango, two bananas, three oranges and a box of vanilla ice-cream.
(Remove the pictures from the board and put them in your shopping bag.)
3 Luke's going home.(Walk in the opposite direction.)
4 He's carrying a shopping bag. It's heavy.(Act this out).
5 Luke takes a banana.("Peel" the banana.)
6 He's eating a banana. Yummy.
7 He meets Pete.(Say: "Hello, Pete. Let's play football!" / Put the shopping bag on the chair.)
8 Luke's playing football.
9 The sun is shining.(Point to the sky.) It's very hot.
10 (Look at the chair where your bag is.) "Oh, No! The ice-cream!"
11 Luke's going back to the shop.
2 The second time the children mime the story with you.
3 The third time invite two pupils to the board. One is Luke, the other Pete and they act out the story
while you are telling it once more.
4 Next, listen to the story from the cassette. The children follow the story by looking at the pictures.
5 You read one of the sentences and they say the number of the picture.
6 Now they are prepared for reading the story.
7 Write the sentences from the Remember box on the board
8 Do Task 5.
3. Start off by telling children to have a look in their Activity Book.
1 Tell them to cut out the pictures. At first this seems rather time consuming but while they are doing
the cutting, let them listen to the story over and over again. Tell them to put the story in the proper
order. Go round the classroom and help.
2 Read the story very slowly. They hold up the corresponding picture.
3 Tell them to number the pictures. You say the sentence and they call out the number.
4 You can tell them now to try to tell the story by looking at the pictures only.
Homework: Tell them to stick the pictures in their notebook.
Move on to Tasks 2 in the Activity Book.
