It is very
important to work the comprehension. Students know the meaning of the key words
and they understand new words. But maybe,
some structures about grammar are new or difficult for them. We can use parts
of a story to develop grammar and speaking skills.
For
example, we can use this structure on the Little Red Riding Hood to learn how
to do descriptions by using the vocabulary learned before and adjectives.
-
Grandmamma,
WHAT GREAT BIG eyes YOU
HAVE!’ ‘ALL THE BETTER TO SEE
YOU WITH’
-
Grandmamma, WHAT
GREAT BIG ears YOU
HAVE!’ ‘ALL THE BETTER TO HEAR
YOU WITH’
-
Grandmamma, WHAT
GREAT BIG hands YOU
HAVE!’ ‘ALL THE BETTER TO STROKE
YOU WITH’
We are
going to read it. It is a dialogue between the grandmother and the wolf. Using
puppets, students can recreate the conversation in pairs.
The words
in red are the vocabulary we have learned. What grandmothers do is like a
description, and in this unit as we have learned parts of the body and some
adjectives we are going to do a role play to make descriptions. Students
will work on pairs. I will give each couple a guide to show them the
structures. For example:
________
is my partner.
He/she
is________ (tall, short, thin….)
He/she
has_______ (long, short, brown…) hair.
His/her
nose is______ (large, big…)
His/her
mouth is______....
He/she
likes_______ (reading, playing…)
Taking in
account this guide each student has to describe his/her partner. With this
activity we develop speaking and reading.
The role
play is a kind of drama activity. We are going to speak about those kind of
exercises later.
