SECTION 1:

LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Activity 1: Listen to a short story 1 hour

Read the story to the learners.

Two intelligent boys Once upon a time there were two intelligent and capable boys. Their wonderful talents were obvious from an early age, and they outdid everyone around them. They had always known they were special and they had a desire that, in the future, everyone would come to admit how exceptional they were. Each of them developed in a different way. John used all his talents and intelligence to have a successful career and show everyone his superiority. He participated in all kinds of competitions, visited all the most important people and places, and was great at making friends in high places. Even when still very young, no one doubted that some day he would be the wisest and most important person in the land. Simon, equally aware of his own abilities, never stopped feeling a heavy responsibility. He would do almost any task better than those around him, and he would feel obliged to help them. This didn’t leave him enough time to follow his own dreams of greatness. He was always looking for ways to help others. As a result, he was a much-loved and well-known person, but only in his own small circle. A great disaster struck the land, spreading misery far and wide. John had never come across anything like this, but his brilliant ideas worked well and they managed to slightly improve the situation. Simon, on the other hand, was so used to solving different problems, and had such useful know-how, that the disaster hardly affected the people in his region at all. His clever methods were soon used everywhere, and the fame of this good and wise man spread further than that of John’s. Indeed, he was soon elected governor of the whole nation. John then understood that …

Stop reading the story here and ask learners to predict what will happen next. Then continue reading the last paragraph: John then understood that the greatest fame and wisdom come from the things we do in life, from the impact they have on others, and from the need to improve ourselves every day. He never again participated in competitions or vain shows, and from then on, whenever he travelled, he took his books along with him, so he would always be ready to offer a helping hand to all. © Impaq

Ask learners literal questions on the text, for example: 1. What are the characters’ names? John and Simon. 2. What do you learn about the characters? John is arrogant and selfish. Simon is compassionate, kind and selfless. 3. For what did the first boy use his intelligence and talents? John used his talents to have a successful career and show everyone his superiority. 4. Was the second boy liked? Yes, he was a much-loved and well-known person. 5. What did the first young boy learn? John learnt that the greatest fame and wisdom come from the things we do in life. Encourage learners to express their opinions about the story. Guide the discussion by asking questions such as: 1. Do you think the second boy showed responsibility? 2. How do you show responsibility to the people in your community? 3. Do you know anyone similar to Simon or John? 4. Which character are you more like? Why? 5. Why do you think the story is called ‘Two intelligent boys’?

Activity 2: Retell a story 20 minutes

Retelling a story means you tell a story you already heard before. Tips for retelling a story: 1. Use the simple past tense: This indicates something that has already happened. For example: “Then he walked to the shops.” 2. Use connecting words such as then, because, so, first, firstly. 3. Retell the story in the correct sequence (order of events). Ask learners to turn to Activity 2 and look at the pictures as you reread the story from Activity 1. Encourage them to retell the story in the correct sequence using the simple past tense. Once they have all had an opportunity to retell the story, spend 10 to 15 minutes asking learners to name the characters correctly (first young boy, second young boy). Language structures and conventions Revise ‘a’ and ‘the’ with nouns Recap the use of articles before nouns: we use ‘a’ when referring to a thing, for example, ‘a boy’; and ‘the’ when referring to a specific boy. Use the articles ‘a’ and ‘the’ before nouns when retelling the story.

READING AND VIEWING

Activity 4: Predict a story from its title and pictures 30 minutes

Ask learners to turn to Activity 4, read the title and look at the pictures. Ask them to predict what they think the story will be about.

Activity 5: Use reading strategies 30 minutes

Reading strategies are used when reading a text, which help the reader to grasp the concepts and better understand the text. Here are some basic reading strategies: 1. Skimming a text: You gaze over the text and look for important points (for example, the characters, theme, plot and setting). 2. Phonic clues: The clues the sounds of the words give you. For example: “The chest sings ...” emphasises the singing sound, which means the chest must be magic. 3. Contextual clues: The clues the context of the story gives you. For example: You know it must a kingdom because there is a queen. Ask learners to skim the following text for the characters (queen, poor boy) and the setting (a kingdom). Encourage them to use phonic (sounds) and contextual clues to find the meaning of the text: responsibility and thinking of others before yourself. A young queen received a special gift from a great wizard. It was a magic chest that would bring happiness to the whole kingdom whenever it was opened in a place where there was a spirit of generosity. The queen travelled all over her kingdom, looking for the most generous people. When she had collected them all, she opened the magic chest. Nothing happened. That was until one day when, returning to her castle, the queen saw a poor little boy begging. The queen would have given the boy a few coins, but she didn’t have any with her. “May I have the old chest to sell in town for a little money?” he asked. At first the queen hesitated because she had been told the chest was magic. But on seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the chest and opened it.

Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the chest, accompanied by the sound of singing: “Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself,” went the song. And as well as enjoying all the wonders of the magic chest, the queen learnt to set an example in virtue, and she became the best queen to ever reign over that kingdom.

Activity 6: Discuss new vocabulary 30 minutes

Read the story from Activity 5 again. As you read, encourage learners to underline any unfamiliar words in the text (for example: generosity, virtue). Use your dictionary to give definitions to the words learners share. Encourage them to make sentences with the words. Language structures and conventions Build on knowledge of sight words and high frequency words As you discuss new vocabulary, ask learners for words they already know, for example, boy, little, poor, queen. Revise the definitions for these words. Then ask them for highfrequency words they can see in the text, for example; all, a, would, etc.

Activity 7: Use a dictionary 30 minutes

Encourage learners to use a dictionary to find the meanings of words in the text they do not understand. Then ask them to write sentences using the words.

Activity 8: Answer comprehension questions 30 minutes
