Project a picture of an old house from the 19th century in the foggy autumn day and a brother
and a sister in the top room of the house with a broken mirror there. Ask them what they think
about these. Then model it by writing some ideas summarizing this part and discussing it with
them. And then put the audio related to that part and stop where it ends while presenting the
story on the board too. Provide them with vocabulary words they can get from the story and
use them while writing. Then let them listen and read the rest of the story.
