SECTION 1:

LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Activity 1: Listen to a short story Listen carefully as your facilitator reads you a short story. Answer the following questions: 1. What are the characters’ names? 2. What do you learn about the characters? 3. For what did the first boy use his intelligence and talents? 4. Was the second boy liked? 5. What did the first young boy learn? Now, discuss these points: 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

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).

Unit

Look at the pictures below. Then retell the story your facilitator read to you in Activity 1.

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.

Activity 3: Practise listening and speaking Your facilitator will tell you which of these activities to do.

Study Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Perform a short poem I am responsible for all that I do, from turning in work to making friends too. It is up to me just how much I will learn, the grades that I get will be grades that I earn. So now I will choose what is best for me. I am responsible I hold the key!

Language structures and conventions Build on the use of proper nouns A name used for a specific person, place, thing or idea. Days, months and holidays always begin with a capital letter. For example, Kate, Belgium or Tuesday, 29 March.

•

Play a simple language game Play ‘Simple Simon says’ using responsibility phrases such as ‘Simple Simon says, clean the floor/wipe your desk’.

•

Give and follow instructions Give and follow instructions about doing responsible tasks around the classroom. For example, “Put your book away.”

•

READING AND VIEWING

Activity 4: Predict a story from its title and pictures 1.

Read the following title: ‘The Queen’s Journey’. What do you think the text will be about?

Look at the pictures below. What do they tell you about the text?

Activity 5: Use reading strategies

What are reading strategies? Effective readers use strategies to understand what they read before, during, and after reading.

Unit

Study Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Some basic reading strategies include: 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. 1.

Skim the text and write down the characters and setting of the story.

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. 2.
