Play the cassette as the students act the story.
Write the whole story in sections on pieces of paper and give out to groups of students. Ask them to put the story in order. This can also be done with picture clues. |

Write or draw parts of the story on pieces of paper and give to groups of students to act or mime. The rest of the class guess which part of the story it is.
Show the class how to fold an A4 piece of paper to make an eight-page book. Students
write the name of the story and their name on the cover, and then draw and write
the main words or sentences on each page. For example: The Enormous Turnip
by
Yukio Yasuda; The man pulls the turnip; The woman pulls the man; The boy pulls
the woman; The girl pulls the boy; The dog pulls the girl; The cat pulls the
dog; The mouse pulls the cat. This is an aid to learning the vocabulary of the
story and also supports the students' retelling of the story. |
