2. Story Review and Skills

W1 P3Story Review

Lesson Goals

  • To review and reinforce emotional vocabulary
  • To review the story
  • To encourage students to use emotional vocabulary through activities

Students will be able to

  • Participate in a fun and interactive storytelling session based on the story
  • Engage with and lead the discussion during class

1. Warm-Up

Hello Song · “How are you?” · “How’s the weather today?” · Day of the week check

2. Story Review (Student Book pg 10-21)

  • a) Reinforce the vocabulary on each page: “Roo got a gift. Do you think she is happy?”
  • b) After going through the story and explaining the target vocabulary, read and repeat the story with the students, focusing on any words they might have difficulty with. “What emotion does Otto feel?”
  • c) Relate the story to the students as you go along. “What makes you happy?” “When do you feel shy?”

3. Activity 1 (Story) — Pass & Read

  • a) Give a ball or a toy to one student.
  • b) Students pass the object to each other.
  • c) When the music stops (or when the teacher says “Stop”), the student holding the object reads one sentence. If the student makes a mistake, help and read together. Continue until everyone has a turn.

4. Activity 2 (Vocabulary) — Animal/emotion activity

  • a) Explain the basic rules. Give the students a word and they act it out without talking; the other students raise their hand and guess the word. Demonstrate a couple of examples to ensure they understand.
  • b) Incorporate animals and emotions into the vocabulary you give the student to act out.
  • c) Use props like animal/emotion word flashcards to make it more visual. Show them the flashcard of “happy” and they should make a happy face.
  • d) Toward the end, challenge them with new words or silly words outside the story like dinosaur, capybara or joy.

5. Wrap-up

  • Review target words with the Let’s Chant song, then finish the class with the Goodbye song.
