Introduction
A WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
DIP IN 6 is a course for children who are in the
sixth grade of primary school and are in the
fourth year of learning English. The course offers
more than enough material for 70 hours of
language teaching. Since this is the fourth year
of learning English, it is likely that you will have
to adapt your teaching to the level of knowledge
acquired so far. That is why this course has been
prepared in such a way that you may easily move
through it with weaker classes, by leaving out
some parts, but at the same time offers your
stronger classes enough materials to work on.
B WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE
COURSE?
1
The Pupil's Book
The Pupils Book consists of 8 modules (33
lessons).
Each module consists of several lessons in which
we follow the lives and the adventures of the
main characters, eleven-year-old children.
There is a larger amount of written input
compared to the previous grade. However, the
material has been carefully illustrated to make it
more natural and easier to understand.
Furthermore, there are many songs, chants and
rhymes to make your classes more enjoyable for
both you and your pupils.
After every module there is a revision section
which rounds off the material presented in that
module.
Finally, there is an extended world list at the
back, which can serve as a reminder to the
teacher, but can also help the pupils in self-study.
2
The Activity Book
The Dip In 6 Activity Book is also organised in
8 modules (33 lessons) which are linked to the
corresponding lessons in the Pupils Book. Each
lesson comprises different tasks fill-in exercises,
crossword puzzles, brain teasers, and so on.
Its aim is to reinforce and consolidate the
vocabulary and structures taught in the
corresponding lesson.
In the Activity Book there are two extra stories,
as well as a Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid ul-Fitr,
Eid al-Adha and Easter appendix which further
expands the language and knowledge of
customs related to these festivities.

The novelty of the Dip In 6 series is a selfevaluation table at the end of each module in the
form of CAN-DO STATEMENTS. Pupils are invited
to turn back and consider how much they think
they have learnt in each module. This will help
them boost their confidence, but at the same
time help develop self-assessment.
At the end of each module there is also an
invitation for a Mini project. This invitation is
a reminder to the teacher and an incentive to
the pupils to use the acquired language in a
creative way. Suggestions on what to do as a
mini project and how to do it are given in the
Teachers Book.
3
The CDs
The CDs are an essential part of the Dip In 6
course. The recorded material includes stories,
texts, dialogues, songs and rhymes marked with
a CD icon in the Pupils Book and in the Activity
Book. There are CD scripts at the back of the
Pupils Book.
4
The Teachers Book
The Teachers Book provides an overall plan for
the whole course, but also a detailed step-bystep lesson plan, with suggestions on how to
go through each lesson. The Teachers Book also
offers advice on how to adapt your teaching and
the material to the level of your class.
C THE BASIC AIMS OF THE COURSE
Dip In 6 has been created to follow the modern
postulates of language teaching according to
the Common European Framework. This means
that it is task-based and caters for all the four
language skills.
The aim of this course is to present language
in a natural, non-threatening way in order to
encourage children to communicate in English
and develop their skills of listening, reading,
writing and speaking.
Listening
Before adolescence, childrens vocal cords are
not completely formed, which makes our pupils
excellent imitators. They can perfectly repeat the
intonation, the words and the sounds. Exposing
good imitators to language is the first and most

Introduction
important advantage of early learning. In grade
6, however, there is more to listening: the pupils
have to find information, and not just listen and
repeat.
Task-based listening is the target skill in grade
6. It implies listening for information. A simple,
not too demanding, task is set before the first
listening. Another task accompanies the second
listening. Finally, checking might take place in the
third listening. Reading comes after at least two
listenings, and this activity is also task based.
Reading
At this age and level of knowledge of English,
your pupils might still have difficulties
recognising a written word without oral input.
For this reason, reading always follows the
listening stage. To master this transfer from
written input to vocal output, a great deal of
stress is put on reading to practise pronunciation
and intonation. There are also reading tasks
which require reading for comprehension.
Speaking
By now your pupils are able to produce a lot
of language. Yet at this level speaking is more
demanding because it is not an imitation of a
model, but increasingly an act of the creative
use of language. Your pupils will be expected
to personalise the topics dealt with in class.
Therefore, you should continually encourage
them, rather than risk discouraging them by
constantly correcting their mistakes.
Writing
Finally, children are motivated to enhance their
writing skills as their cognitive development is
stimulated. Writing is an extremely complex skill.
That is why all the writing tasks at this level are
necessarily carefully guided. You are now laying
the foundations for the future development of
this skill.
Friendly, natural and non-threatening teaching
is ensured through games, songs and TPR
activities. They not only provide opportunities
to revise certain structures and vocabulary,
but also contribute to the holistic learning
environment needed to motivate and stimulate
pupils. Although such activities are generally
thought to be suitable for very young learners,

10

even children at this age enjoy them and through


them acquire language more easily, naturally
and spontaneously. They are also extremely
motivating and arouse interest even among
those pupils who do not seem to share the
enthusiasm and motivation of others. Hence, this
Teachers Book gives you suggestions about what
games to play with your pupils, but also how to
turn different exercises into a game.
For a successful teaching and learning process,
make sure that you:

- involve your pupils actively;

- address all their senses / modalities (visual,
auditory, kinaesthetic);

- encourage your pupils to think for themselves;

- show your pupils how to use language in
realistic, interactive situations;

- cater for all their intelligences (visual,
kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
linguistic, logical, musical);

- do not overload the students (for example,
with too many items of vocabulary per lesson);

- modify or even discard activities to satisfy the
needs of your pupils or time available;

- raise motivation by satisfying your pupils
genuine curiosity and by creating a relaxed and
friendly atmosphere.

If you manage to pass on to your pupils the
joy of learning, but also teach them the target
structures and vocabulary, you can consider
yourself successful.

Good luck and have fun.

Starting up BACK TO SCHOOL

Introduction

Introduction
BACK TO SCHOOL
Aim: Doing an original chant
Motivating the pupils for the
beginning of school
Language focus: School starts in September.
We are eleven. Going back to
school is like flying a kite
Vocabulary: rule, wise, grown up, relaxed,
bright
Suggested 15 minutes
teaching time:

1 Introduce the concept of rhyme. Say: book-look,


mouse-house, fought-caught, stay-OK, cat-fat,
bike-like. What do these words have in common?
They rhyme. Write some rhymes on the board.

8 The pupils read and say if it is good to be back to


school. (Yes.)
9 They chant all together.
10 The class splits into 2 teams, A and B. The
members of the A team do the odd lines (1, 3, 5,
7), and the Bs say the even lines (2, 4, 6, 8).
Then they switch.
11 In pairs (A and B), the pupils do the chant in the
same way.
12 Next they talk about their experience.
Ask: Are you happy to be back? Do you like being
together with your friends? How old are you?
Do you feel grown up, bright, wise? Do you feel
relaxed and ready for school?
P erfect! Lets start. Going back to school is like flying a
kite!

2 Ask the pupils to think of some other rhymes.


Write these rhymes on the board.
3 Draw a kite on the board. Write school in the
middle and 4 other words in the corners: rule,
run, ten, bright. Check the meaning. Ask the
pupils to think of rhymes for the 5 words. If they
find it too challenging, offer them the words and
write them around the kite: cool, school, fun,
again, kite. They connect and write the rhyming
pairs.
4 Have the pupils look at the picture and ask if the
children look sad. (No.) They are going back to
school after the summer holidays. Is this making
them happy? (Yes.) Elicit the reasons. Why are
they looking forward to it? Who are they going
to see? (All their friends.) How are they feeling?
Tired, fed up or fresh, relaxed, ready for school?
Looking at the illustration, would you say that
school is fun? (Of course.) Are they running
to school? (Yes.) Why? (They cant wait to get
there.) When does school start? (In September.)
5 Say they are going to listen to the chant and find
out how old the children are. (Eleven.)
6 They listen again and say what going back to
school is like. (Like flying a kite.)
7 The pupils listen and read to find out what the
children are like after the summer holidays. (Wise,
grown up, relaxed, bright.) Explain the words.

11

Starting up BACK TO SCHOOL

Who is who?
Dont worry about accuracy too much. However,
if you have a smaller or a very weak class, you
can always decide otherwise.

Lesson 1
WHO IS WHO?
Aim: Revising the Present Simple of
to be and have got /
Introducing the characters /
Describing what someone is
like
Language focus: S/he is...; S/he has got... Im...
Ive got...
Vocabulary: unusual / clumsy / polite /
nice / funny / rude / clever /
helpful / tidy / sporty / lazy /
imaginative / musical / popular
/ curious / shy
Materials: word cards
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I INTRODUCING THE CHARACTERS
1 Start off by asking your pupils to have a look at
the cover of their Dip in 6 English Pupils Book.
Ask questions like: How many children can you
see? How many boys/girls can you see? How old
are they? Where are they? Are they happy or
sad? Can you guess why?

6 You can now move to the second part of this


lesson which is to be done as a listening task. But
first motivate your pupils to listen by asking them
to make predictions about new characters.
Ask: Who is popular? / a nice girl? / an unusual girl? /
an excellent pupil? / sporty?
When asking these questions, make sure all your
pupils understand the meaning of the underlined
words. Write the underlined words on the
blackboard.
7 The pupils listen. To make the listening easier,
stop the CD after every description and ask one
of the above questions. They comment if their
prediction was right. After having heard the
whole text and after having been exposed to the
questions, they can do task 4 from the Pupils
Book.
8 The pupils listen to the CD again. After every
few sentences, stop the CD and ask somebody
to read. Explain the words you think need
explaining.
9

Do task 6 from the Pupils Book.

2 Tell your pupils that these are the main characters


of their English course book and this year they
will find out a lot about them.

10 Task 7 from the Pupils Book is a pair-work


activity. Each pupil asks a few questions of his/her
choice; his/ her friend mustnt look at the book.

Proceed to tasks 1 and 2 from the Pupils Book.


Your pupils read silently the text, look at the
picture and find out the names of the characters
from the picture. To make it easier for them, you
can read the text while they concentrate on the
illustration.

Task 1 from the Activity Book can be given for


homework.

3 Read the text aloud, but make deliberate


mistakes (for example, instead of kids, say
monkeys). Warn your pupils to listen carefully
and to say STOP when they notice a mistake.
Apart from being exposed to a model, they will
also have fun if you make funny mistakes.
4 Ask volunteers to read aloud.
5 Task 3 from the Pupils Book can be done as
a pair-work activity. It is vital that your pupils
actually talk as much as possible. Therefore, this
course book will offer you a lot of such tasks.

12

Step II ADJECTIVES DESCRIBING WHAT PEOPLE


ARE LIKE
1 After checking the homework, play the following
game: prepare the word cards with the following
adjectives: unusual, curious, imaginative, clever,
sporty, popular, lazy, musical, nice and shy. Show
the cards to your pupils they read them aloud.
Write the names of our new characters on the
blackboard. Shuffle the cards; divide your class
into two teams; there are five cards for each team
face down on your desk. A representative of each
team sticks one card at a time next to the correct
name. The others help by giving instructions.
The group which gets rid of the cards first wins
(provided that the cards are next to the correct
names).

Starting up BACK TO SCHOOL

2 You can now do task 3 from the Activity Book.


First, call out the word in English and ask them to
find the corresponding Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian
word, and vice versa. They will have no problem
doing this activity now.
If you feel your pupils need more practice to
master this new vocabulary set, play memory
game. Divide your class in two or three teams.
They must find the matching pairs (English
word+corresponding Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian
word).
3

Do tasks 4 and 5 in the Activity Book.

Step lll

SINGING RAP

1 Ask your pupils if they know what a rap is. Ask


them if they can rap. Ask them to listen to Lukas
rap and clap their hands.
2 They try to rap with the CD. Of course, they can
look at the written version of the rap in their
Pupils book.
3

They rap alone.

They can make their own rap by changing the


words in red. They can also do task 2 from the
Activity Book which practises spelling.

Ask your pupils to write their names on a piece


of paper. Collect the pieces of paper and put
them in a plastic bag. Now they pull out a slip
with somebodys name on it. You ask: What is X
like? and they say what this person is like. Allow
them to look in the Activity Book because that
will boost their confidence.
4 Do task 6 in the Activity Book.
Or you can use this task for a mini project: Each
pupil makes his own "poster" which you can
later display on a pinboard.

13

Starting up BACK TO SCHOOL

Who's that girl?


Lesson 2
WHO'S THAT GIRL?
Aim: Revising the Present Simple of
to be and have got (question
and negative, short answers)
Describing what someone
looks like
Language focus: S/he isnt...; S/he hasnt got....;
Is s/he....?; Has s/he got....?
Are you....? Have you got....?
Vocabulary: words describing appearance
(long / short / brown / blond /
curly / straight hair, pimples,
freckles, short, tall, plump,
skinny, pony tail, pigtails, fat,
thin, hairpin)
Materials: poster
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
WARM UP: Ask several pupils to do their rap act.
Step I INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY
1

T ell your pupils you want to check if they are


good detectives. Say that you will describe one
pupil from the class and they have to guess who
it is.
Say:

This pupil has got long hair.


This pupil has got blue eyes.

While doing this, revise the vocabulary they are


familiar with from the previous school years, but
also introduce all the new vocabulary related
to physical descriptions of people which will be
dealt with in this lesson. Do so by pointing on the
poster so that your pupils understand what you
are saying.

2 They listen once again (task 2 / Pupils Book).


3 They listen to the CD again, looking at the text.
Stop every now and then to see if they understand
everything.
4 You read a sentence from the text at random. They
should find out who says that and tell you the name
of the child. Tell them to be quick.
5 They read aloud in roles. At this level you will
be doing a lot of reading, not only to practise
pronunciation of longer chunks of language, but
also to work on the correct intonation. Therefore,
insist on following the model from the CD because
this is the age when children can easily acquire the
correct intonation.
6 Do task 3 from the Pupils Book as a chain activity
(one child asks somebody else in the class, who
answers and then asks another pupil from the class,
and so on until they have used all the questions).
This chain activity is useful for exposing the whole
class to the correct way of giving short answers.
Task 1 and 2 from the Activity Book can be done
for homework.
Step III

PRACTISING QUESTIONS

1 Ask your pupils if they can remember the 3 questions


the boys asked Melanie. If they cant, let them look
back in their books.
2 Explain that Melanie has a lot of questions for her
new friends, too. Do task 9 in the Pupils Book.
3 Do task 10 in the Pupils Book as a pair-work
activity.
4

 asks from the Activity Book can be given for


T
homework. The aim of task 6 is to practice the
correct order of words in questions.

3 Point to different characteristics and ask them to


say what they can see.

5 Round off the lesson by telling your pupils that


you will answer all their questions truthfully. After
the previous tasks, they will have no problem with
questions. This type of activity is very motivating
for children because they like to know more about
their teacher. If you show your enthusiasm when
answering their questions, you will establish a
friendlier atmosphere in your class.

Step II WHOS THAT GIRL?

2 Point to different characteristics on the poster


and ask them to repeat after you.

L et the pupils listen to the children talking, and


answer the questions from task 1 in the Pupils
Book. Naturally, read the questions aloud before
listening, and make sure the children understand
all the questions.

14

 ask 5 from the Activity Book is optional. It can be


T
done as a mini project.

Starting up BACK TO SCHOOL

Who's that girl?


Step IV

REINFORCING VOCABULARY

1 Check the homework. Ask your pupils to tell you


all the sentences from their homework without
looking at it. By doing this type of activity, you
encourage your pupils to utter whole sentences,
not just single words. Thats how you will prepare
them for the more elaborate production stage
guided retelling.
2

Do task 4.

Tell your pupils to study the picture from task 5


of the Pupils Book. You describe the children in
the picture. Some of your sentences are true and
some false. Tell your pupils to listen carefully and
clap their hands whenever you say a true sentence
about the children from the picture. For example,
you say: Melanie has got short hair. Tom is tall.
Do task 6 from the Pupils Book.
Do task 7 from the Pupil's Book as a pair work
activity or a team game.

Step II WORKING ON THE DIALOGUE


1 Do task 5 from the Pupils Book. Talk about the
classroom in the picture. Ask questions like:


Do you like this classroom?


Is anything missing?
Whose classroom is it?

8 Let the pupils listen to the dialogue and number


the classroom words they can hear. (There are
only two: computers and microscope.)
9 Let them listen to the CD once again and do task
6 from the Pupils Book.
10 Ask volunteers to read after the CD in roles. Stop
to explain whatever you think needs explaining.
11 The pupils read in roles.
12 Do Tasks 7 and 8.

Tasks 9, 10 and 11 from the Pupils Book are


optional. You can turn it into a mini project.

Step llI PLURAL OF NOUNS


Step I INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY
1 Ask your pupils to name all the things they can
find in a classroom. You touch the named object
or ask a volunteer to do it instead of you. (It is
vital that you do this because you shouldnt take
it for granted that all the pupils understand the
words that their classmates are calling out.)
2 Now that you have revised a lot of classroom
vocabulary, they can do task 2 in their Pupils
Book. They circle the words they recognise and
read them aloud.
3 Introduce the other words from the list, either
by pointing to these objects in your classroom or
simply by miming.
4 If you think there is a need to practise the words
from task 2, ask volunteers to mime some
activities in which they use these objects. You can
also prepare the word cards and ask volunteers to
lable the objects in your classroom.
5 Do tasks 3 and 4 from the Pupils Book.

16

1 Write HOW MANY .....? on the blackboard. Tell


your pupils to look around the classroom and
tell you how many ....... they can see. On the
blackboard write: BOYS, GIRLS, BAGS, LAMPS,
PICTURES, DESKS, WATCHES, BOXES (Separate
the last two from the others).
You can organise it as a team or a pairwork activity. They copy the words into their
notebooks, move around the classroom and
count. There will be a lot of commotion in the
class, but such tasks are motivating because they
involve movement. The winning team/ pair comes
to the blackboard to write the numbers. Dont
expect them to tell you the number because they
have learnt only the numbers to 20. They can
write them and you will say them.
Now you can draw their attention to the ending
of the first group of words. Ask what the last
letter is? S) Why? (Because there are more than
one.) Also point to the second group with the
ending -ES.

Starting up BACK TO SCHOOL

The new classroom


2 Do task 12 and 13 from the Pupils Book.
Task 10 from the Activity Book can be done for
homework

Tasks 5 8 from the Activity Book are optional.
They reinforce the use of There is / There are.
They also revise the vocabulary related to things
children have in their schoolbags. Since your
pupils are already familiar with this vocabulary
from previous school years, when doing these
tasks just follow the instructions in the Activity
Book.
You can also come back to this set of tasks
later, for instance when you do revision.
You can also use these tasks as a preperation
for a mini project: MY SCHOOL BAG

teaching time:
Step I INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY
1 Start off by asking your pupils to have a look at
pictures from task 1. Ask them to point to the
symbols they are familiar with and to name the
subjects that are presented by these symbols.
2 Do task 1. Write the new words on the
blackboard.
3 Do task 2 from the Pupil's Book as a pair work
activity or a team game.
Step II REINFORCING VOCABULARY
1 The pupils listen to task 3 and put a tick or
a cross where necessary. Repeat the CD if
necessary. After this task, the pupils do the task 4
as a pair work activity.
2 Do task 5 from the Pupil's Book.
3 Do task 4 from the Activity Book. Tasks 1
and 2 from the Activity Book can be done for
homework.

18

Step III PRACTISING THE ENGLISH


ALPHABET
1 Check the homework.
This whole step is optional. You can decide to do
only some parts. Even if you do decide to do all
the tasks, do not expect your pupils to be able
to spell words. Recognising letters at this stage
is perfectly acceptable. But also do not limit your
pupils either.
2 Tell your pupils that you will tell them something
in English. Invite them to guess what you are
saying. Quickly say the English alphabet.
2

Do task 7 from the Pupils Book.

3 Task 8 nvites your pupils to make a comparison


between the B / C / S and the English alphabet
and to spot the differences. At this point they
will have difficulties saying some letters, so help
whenever they stumble.
4 Do task 9 from the Pupils Book. Tell your pupils
to look at these abbreviations and say if they
know what they mean, which they probably will.
Ask your pupils to spell them. They will probably
enjoy spelling them since these are some wellknown abbreviations.
5 Do task 10 as a listening activity. This task
prepares your pupils for spelling.

Do task 11.

6 Now, let your pupils listen to the alphabet song


and join in singing (task 12).
7 Tasks 4, 5, 6 and 7 can be done for homework.

STEP I Playing the board game
1 Say that you are going to revise Starting up
module. Tell the pupils to shut their books. Elicit
as many sentences as they can remember from it.
2 In advance, prepare them for playing a game.
They need to bring a die and an object to use as
a counter (eraser, pencil sharpener, coin, hairpin,
etc.). They play in pairs or teams.
3 The pupils throw a die. They answer the question
in the field they land on. If they dont know
the correct answer, they return to the previous
position. The winner is the pupil who reaches the
finish first.
STEP II Activity Book
1 Say that you are going to revise the words from
Starting up module In pairs or individually, the
pupils categorise the vocabulary in task 1.
2 Task 2 is a guided writing task. Ask several
questions about the pictures and elicit the
descriptions before the pupils do it in writing.
3 Task 3 is to describe a friend, which is another
guided writing task. If you are short of time,
assign it for homework.
STEP III CAN DO STATEMENTS (page 113)
After finishing the tasks draw your pupils
attention to the can do statments in the
workbook. Read them aloud and then let the
children assess themselves. Allow their frank
comments and perhaps a discussion about what
they did well, what they found very demanding
or difficult, what was enjoyable etc.

Step I INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY
1

P repare a flashcard of a police officer. Tell your


pupils that you will show the card to them only
for a second - They have to look carefully and
guess what there is on the flashcard.


Help with the questions:

Is it an object?
Is it an animal?
Is it a girl?

Flash the card again if necessary. They will


probably come up with the word policeman.
Introduce: police officer.
Explain that this police officer is very busy today
and they will now see why.
2 Introduce the text by telling your pupils that our
busy police officer will meet a special team today
the Sugar Babes. Tell them to listen to the CD
and find out who the Sugar Babes.
Step II THE SUGAR BABES
1 Before moving to the text, do task 1 from the
Pupils Book as a competition. This task introduces
new vocabulary. First, read aloud the English
words and ask your pupils if they understand at
least one of the words you have read (which they
certainly will). Now ask them to follow the lines
which will take them to their Bosnian / Croatian
/ Serbian friends. Ask them to circle the
matching pairs with the same colour. Tell them

20

(Pupils always need to have a clear task before


listening.) The pupils guess the order of the
pictures as well as the story.
4 The pupils listen to the CD and check their
predictions, task 3.The Pupils listen to the CD
again to answer the questions:

1. Who are the Sugar Babes?


2. Whay are they so busy?

5 Pick a sentence from the text (preferably one


with a difficult phrase you want to check
the understanding of, or which you want
to emphasise) and translate it into Bosnian /
Croatian / Serbian. Your pupils must quickly
find the matching English sentence in the text.
(This type of activity is useful because it raises
awareness of the fact that English and Bosnian
/ Croatian / Serbian sentences often have a
different structure.)
6 The pupils are now ready to read the text aloud in
roles.
7 Do task 4 from the Pupils Book. You can do it
orally first as a game. Divide your class into 2-3
teams. Read the sentences and they have to
guess who says them. After playing the game,
they can do the same task individually using their
books.

ADDITIONAL TASK

9 You can round up this lesson by letting your


pupils act out the story. They work in groups.
Assign roles (the better pupils will naturally
want more demanding roles). Give them several
minutes to prepare. Let them act out the story.
By now, your pupils will have repeated certain
lines several times in an amusing and entertaining
way.
10 Do task5 from the Pupils Book. First, you read
the sentences aloud. Then let them copy the
sentences in the notebooks. Finally, check by
asking: What does X say?
11 The pupils task 7 in their notebooks.
12 Write Yes, I am and No, Im not on the
blackboard. Go around the class and ask
questions from task 6 in the Pupils Book. Add as
many other questions as you think appropriate or

Module 1 HOME AND FRIENDS

Sugar babes

necessary. If your pupils hesitate when answering,


either check if they understand the question or
point to the blackboard to remind them what
they can use to answer.

ADDITIONAL TASK

13 If you have enough time, you can round off this
step as follows: on different slips of paper write
as many sentences as there are pupils in your
class (Im (not) ..ing). Distribute the slips of
paper. Then say:

You are at school.


You are in the car. You are in the park. etc.

Depending on the place you have just mentioned,


they either make a positive or a negative version
of the sentence they have drawn out (e.g. Im
sitting. Im not riding my bike.) They have to
imagine they are in the particular place you have
just mentioned.
Task 1, 2, 3 from the Activity Book can be done
for homework.

Step II THE UGLY DUCKLING


4 Do task 1 from the Pupils Book before listening.
Pupils make guesses.
5 Pupils just relax and listen to the story. Their task
is to see if their predictions were right. Check the
correct answers with the class after listening.
6 Listen to the story again. Stop every now and
then and ask someone to read. Also, explain
whatever you think they have difficulty in
understanding. Do not insist on every single
word. This is a story, and stories are read for
pleasure. It is important that you make sure they
actually understand the story as a whole and not
every single detail
7

Pupils read without the CD.

Step I LEAD INTO THE STORY

Do task 3 from the Pupil's Book

1 Start off by playing a game. Tell your pupils that


you have a password for todays class and that
they have to guess it. You will paraphrase some
words and when they guess which word it is,
they have to write only the first letter of that
word in their notebooks. The letters in their
notebooks will spell your password for todays
class.

2 It is raining. You need it. It can be


red, yellow, green... U(MBRELLA)

9 To do task 4, organize your class so that there are


groups of three pupils. Each pupil chooses group
of question she / he wants to answer. (The three
groups of questions actually represent three levels
of difficulty. In such a way even weaker students
stand a chance of giving correct answers, which
motivates them for their future work.) Give them
a minute or two to find the answers. Then they
work in their groups. Two members of a group
ask the third his or her questions. The third
member is not allowed to look at the book. They
change roles until all the questions have been
asked and answered.

3 You eat it for your birthday. There


are candles on it. C(AKE)

10 Task 5, the pupils can answer orally. Encourage


discussion with your pupils.

4 I cook there. K(ITCHEN)

Task 2 from the Activity Book can be done for


homework.

You say: 1 You open it. Every house has got it.
D(OOR)

2 The password is DUCK. Write it on the


blackboard and draw a duck. (Its simple write
the number 2 and there it is!) Say that this is a
mother duck. Ask: What colour are her feathers?
(Explain this word.) Where is its home? (On a
farm.)
Draw a smaller duck and say: This is a baby duck
a DUCKLING.
3 Introduce the story by asking if they know the
story about the ugly duckling. Let them tell
the story in Bosnian /Croatian/ Serbian if they

REVISING THE STORY

Start off by checking the homework

2 To check how well they remember the story,


go back to task 1 from the Activity Book.Limit
the time. Check what they have done by asking
pupils to read aloud.
3 Tell your pupils that you are going to test their
memory. Ask them to tell you all the sentences
they have just written. But they mustnt look
at them. Insist that the order of their sentences

Module 1 HOME AND FRIENDS

The ugly duckling


should be as it is in the story. If they do it, your
class has just retold you a story in English. Well
done!
Step IV

INTRODUCING FARM ANIMALS

1 Task 6 from the Pupils Book introduces farm


animals.
Your pupils certainly already know most of these
words. However, follow this procedure: pupils
look at the illustrations of farm animals. You read
the words in random order and they point to the
pictures.
2

Then, the pupils spell the words.

3 They can now connect the picture with the


corresponding word with a line.
4 Pupils read the words. First, the pupils read the
singular, and then the plural of nouns.
5 Put on the blackboard flashcards from the
previous years of farm animals. Ask them to
shut their textbooks and notebooks. Play What's
missing? They shut their eyes in the menatime
you remove 1-3 pictures. Ask: What's missing?
STEP V

SINGING A SONG

1 Introduce the song with a little story: Farmer


McDonald is old, but not very old. He has got a
farm. He has got a big house and a tractor. On
his farm there are a lot of animals. Listen and say
what animals there are.

2 Most children are familiar with the tune, so let


them listen to the song several times (they can
look at the text) and ask them to join in and sing
the song.
3 In the song, there are several irregular plural
nouns, so now you need to draw your pupils
attention to that. Do not insist too much. At this
level, they only need to become aware of them.
You can even skip this if you have a weaker class.
4 Start by asking: Has Old McDonald got only
one cow?

No, he has got a lot of cows.
5 Do the same with a few more regular plural
nouns and then switch to irregular plural nouns.
As you introduce them, write them on the
blackboard.
6 Now read both the singular and plural nouns and
ask your pupils to repeat after you. Explain if you
feel additional explanation is needed.

The pupils do task 3 from the Activity Book.

ADDITIONAL TASK

7 Now your pupils can try to add one more verse to


the song. They can use ideas from the song. You
can also turn it into a mini project. Ask them to
make their own version of the song and illustrate
it.
8 Tasks 4,5,6, from the Activity Book can be done
for homework.

2 After the first listening, your pupils may open


their books to read the story and try to find 4
differences between the text and the picture. The
differences are: Grandma Green is not putting
flowers on the table, but candles.; There are 6
chairs around the table, not 12.; Grandpa Green
is fixing a washing machine, but in the small
bathroom downstairs; Tom's mum is making two
birthday cakes, not one.

Language focus: Is .ing? / Are ing?


Yes, . is. / No, . isnt. / Yes,
. are. / No, . arent.

3 Let them listen to the CD again. Stop the CD


after every few sentences and ask somebody to
read aloud. Check if they understand everything.

Lesson 7
EVERYBODY'S BUSY

Vocabulary: rooms in a house / flat items


of furniture
Materials: flashcards from the previous
years and word cards
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I EVERYBODYS BUSY
1 Start off by spelling the names of rooms in the
house. Your pupils are already familiar with these
words from the previous year. As you spell the
words (k-i-t-c-h-e-n, etc.) your pupils write the
letters in their notebooks. Ask a volunteer to do
the same on the blackboard so that any possible
misunderstanding with the spelling is immediately
cleared up. As soon as somebody realises what
the word you are spelling is, s/he may say the
word (e.g. K-I, pupil: king; say no and continue
spelling until you get the target word).
By doing this activity, you will revise all the rooms
in a house, as well as practise spelling.
Step II LISTENING AND READING
1 Set the atmosphere for listening by telling your
pupils they will learn something about Toms
family. They are all getting ready for somebodys
birthday party.

4 Do task 3 from the Pupils Book as a pair-work


activity.
5 Now you can work on vocabulary. To reinforce
some typical collocations used in this text, do
task 6 from the Pupils Book. First, play Match
or Mismatch. Write all the words from task 6
on separate cards. Put them face down on the
blackboard. Each team turns two cards at a
time to find the matching pairs words that go
together.
6 When they have found all the pairs, they can do
the task individually in their notebooks.
7 After they have matched the pairs, ask them to
shut their books and tell you all the pairs they can
remember.
Step III ASKING AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS
1 Move back to the story. The pupils do task 4 on
their own. Check what they have done by asking
your pupils to read what they have written.
2 Now that your pupils have been exposed to
questions, they can try to make a few more
questions on their own. Do it as a chain activity:
one pupil asks a question, the second answers
and asks a new question; the third answers, then
asks a new question, and so on.

Tell your pupils to listen carefully and tell you


whose birthday it is today.

As they have produced together a lot of


questions, ask them to write a few in their
notebooks.

There is no need to introduce more vocabulary


in advance because, even if one of the verbs
describing what the characters are doing is
not a phrase they are familiar with, the cross
section of the house with all the characters doing
something will make the meaning quite clear.

3 Personalisation stage. You can do task 3 from the


Activity Book. Help with any words that you think
might be a problem because, in order to be able
to do this task, they should understand all the
items. They unjumble the questions and answer
them individually

optional).

Step IV REVISING THE STORY AND
EXPANDING VOCABULARY
1

Start off by checking the homework

2 Check how much they remember about that


Saturday morning at Tom's house. Go back to
tasks 3 and 4 to help you revise the text
Prepare the flashcards (from the previous grade)
of all the pieces of furniture you can see in
task 7 in the Pupils Book. Prepare the word
cards as well. They already know a lot of these
words. Therefore, this will only be an expansion
of vocabulary. Anyway, follow the following
procedure:

show the flashcard, say the word and


they repeat in chorus and individually
ask somebody to point to the correct
flashcards as you say the words number
the flashcards and ask: What number is X?,
What is number X?

3 Do task 8 from the Pupils Book. But first revise


the colours by asking your pupils to touch
something blue, red., etc.
4 Do tasks 9 and 10 from the Pupils Book. Do both
tasks with the whole class. Let them read the
cues aloud and volunteer to give the solutions.
5 Task 11 is a productive type of exercise and
neednt be done with weaker classes.
6

 ROJECT WORK is optional. It revises the use


P
of there is / there are, as well as the vocabulary
connected with the home.Pupils draw the layout
of their home (or take a picture of their favourite
room in their home) and write a description. You
can display their work.

Tasks 4, 5 can be done for homework.

read the word cards and ask them to


repeat they match the word cards and the
flashcards on the blackboard

 play Whats Missing? with the picture


cards, or play the Duel Game with the word
cards (you say a word in Bosnian / Croatian
/ Serbian and two pupils compete to be first
to find the English word card). Both games
should be organised as team games. Give all
the pupils an opportunity to represent their
team. Give weaker students easier words so
that they too can contribute to the final score.
That will motivate even less motivated pupils
to participate joyfully in your classes.

25

Module 1 HOME AND FRIENDS

Tom's family
understand everything. You may want to skip
repeating with stronger classes, but do not fear
you are wasting time by listening to the CD again
and checking their understanding. Also, always
try to create an atmosphere of trust encourage
your pupils to ask you if they do not understand
something.

Lesson 8
TOM'S FAMILY
Aim: Learning vocabulary related to
the family
Revising the possessive case
Language focus: Ricks / Julies
Vocabulary: family words
birthday words How many?
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I PREPARING FOR LISTENING
1 Start off by drawing a typical birthday setting.
Ask your pupils to say what you are drawing.
Some typical birthday words will pop up (a cake,
candles, balloons...).
2 Discuss birthdays with your pupils. You can start
by exploiting the questions from task 7 in the
Pupils Book, but add some more. Pupils at this
age love birthday parties. They may want to say
more than they can in English, so let them use
Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian at this point.
3 Do task 1 from the Pupils Book. Ask your pupils
to read all the words and then discuss which of
them are birthday words. You may also ask some
pupils to label them
Step II REVISING THE STORY
1 Say that finally Pat and Matt (Toms twin brothers)
are happy because it is time for their birthday
party. Let your pupils listen to the CD and circle
all the birthday words (from task 1 in the Pupils
Book) that they can hear.
2 Tell your pupils to read silently the sentences from
task 3 in the Pupils Book. Not all of them are
correct, so tell them to listen again and tick the
true sentences.
In this type of activity you must always make
sure that your pupils read the sentences before
listening, otherwise they would need to do
two things at the same time (both read the
sentences and listen to the dialogue) which is
very confusing.
To practise reading and to check if they
understand everything, your pupils should listen
to the CD and repeat the lines. You can make
a break every few lines and make sure they

26

Pupils read the text aloud and in roles.

3 Ask your pupils to look at the questions from


task 4 in the Pupils Book. You supply the
answers to these questions, but in a mixed order.
Pretend that somebody (an invisible creature) is
whispering in your ear and giving you the answer.
Tell your pupils to try to guess what questions the
invisible creature is asking you. They may look
in their books.
After having gone through the questions and
answers in this way, tell them to answer the
questions on their own or to work with a friend.
4 Tell your pupils you want to see how many
sentences they can tell you about Pat and Matts
birthday party. This need not be a problem after
the previous tasks. The whole class should
participate.

ADDITIONAL TASK

5 Now you can ask a volunteer to come to the


front, to sit at your desk and give a report on
Pat and Matts birthday party for the news on
TV. To contribute to the TV atmosphere, you
can make a real TV introduction. This element of
acting will draw their attention away from actual
retelling. They will enjoy appearing on TV.
6 Pupils do task 6 in the Pupil's Book.They copy
and translate the sentences in their notebooks.
7 Let pupils imagine that it's their birthday.The
pupils write their own dialogue by using the
words from the boxes.Encourage them to act
their dialogue out.Let some pupils assume the
role of quests as well as of those who celebrate
the birthday.

 EVISING THE VOCABULARY


R
PRACTISING THE POSSESSIVE CASE

1 Bring a picture of your family ( or a magazine


cut-out of a large family). Describe the picture
and introduce all the words related to family

Module 1 HOME AND FRIENDS

Tom's family
relationships (the ones suggested in the book).
As you introduce each word, write it on the
blackboard and translate it. Stress the words like
uncle, aunt, cousin and explain the difference
in use between English and Bosnian / Croatian /
Serbian.
2 Do the Reading from the Empty Blackboard
activity. Ask your pupils to read in chorus all the
words. Then wipe out two and ask the pupils
to read the words again, but all the words
(including the ones that are not there any more).
Repeat the procedure until there are no words on
the blackboard. Tell them they must have special
power to be able to read invisible words!
3

Do tasks 3, 4, 5 from the Activity Book

4 Proceed to task 9 from the Pupils Book. Tell your


pupils to have a look at Toms family tree. They
ask and answer questions about it.
5 Do task 10 from the Pupils Book. First, ask a
pupil to read the words from the list. After that
they can complete the sentences about Toms
family. Check by asking somebody to read their
sentences.
6 You ask a few questions about Toms family,
e.g. Is X Toms uncle? Now that they have been
exposed to a model, encourage them to write a
few questions to test their classmates. Task 11
from the Pupils Book gives an example for this
writing activity.

Now that they have a few questions in their


notebooks, tell them to shut their books. Then,
play a team game. The pupils from two different
teams take turns to ask questions, and the pupils
from the other team answer. (Provide the model
for the answers on the blackboard, if necessary.)
You monitor if the answers are correct and give
points to the teams.
PROJECT WORK is family trees. They write the
names of their family members and what the
family relation is. They can find and stick the
optional. Your pupils can draw their own pictures
of their family members.
Task 6 from the Activity book is for stronger
pupils.

 asks 7,8 from the Activity Book can be done for


T
homework.

ADDITIONAL TASK
7 Write the following two sentences on the
blackboard: Rick is Tom's uncle. Rick is Tom uncle.
Ask your pupils which of the two sentences
doesn't sound to them. Talk to them about the
reason why, and cross out the incorrect one so
that they have the visual input as well.
Walk around the classroom and take different
objects belonging to your pupils. You will
naturally use this opportunity to show them
a polite way of asking somebody to give you
something: May I have ...? Thank you. ) Put all
the objects that you have gathered on your desk
and ask: Whose is this...? Your pupils will give
you the answers using the possessive case. (This is
Igor's.)

Let's catch them


Lesson 9
LET'S CATCH THEM
Aim: Introducing and practising
prepositions of place
Making suggestions to do
something
Expressing ability
Language focus: in / on / under / behind / in
front of / between, Lets..
I can. / I cant. / Can
you..?
Vocabulary: cute, How disgusting! . is
missing, talk, swim, fly, jump,
use a computer, play., ski,
skateboard, drive a car, ride a
bike, name.
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I INTRODUCING PREPOSITIONS
1 Put an everyday object (a key or your pencil case)
in a box so that your pupils cant see it. Tell them to
guess what you have in the box. Help by saying: HOT
COLD WARM. When they guess what the object is,
use it to introduce prepositions of place.
2 Start with: IN, ON, UNDER, because they are already
familiar with these from the previous school year.
Introduce one preposition at a time.
Follow this procedure:




Put the object in the box and say: The X is in


the box.
Ask them to repeat after you.
Write it on the blackboard. You may also
illustrate it with a simple drawing.
Do the same with on/under.
Quickly change the position of the object, and
each time ask where it is. You can now practise
all of the above prepositions.

Call another pupil and instruct him/her: Stand


between X and Y!
Call one more pupil and say: Stand behind X!
Repeat by giving the instructions to more pupils
until you have a long line of pupils. Then ask:
Where is X standing? Pupils may produce up
to 3 possible answers. By now, they will have
mastered the use of the new prepositions of
place.
STEP II

LET'S CATCH THEM

1 Tell your pupils to listen to the first introductory


sentences and find out where Lolly and David are.
Listen to the CD and answer the questions from
task 1. Read out the questions before the pupils
listen!
2 After they answer the questions, ask them how
they would feel in Davids shoes and what they
would do. Of course, this conversation should
be conducted in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian.
Do not think its a waste of time. Children like to
comment on unusual situations and give their
opinion. Do not let the lack of English expressions
be a limiting factor for their imagination.
3 Listen to the CD again. Stop to check if they
understand everything. Thats how you give the
weaker pupils the chance to ask if they still dont
understand.
4 Let them read in roles. Since there are a lot of
sentences expressing surprise and emotions, insist
on the correct intonation.
5

Do task 2 from the Pupil's Book.

6 Give the pupils a few minutes to memorise as


many true sentences from the previous task as
possible. Ask them to shut their book and tell you
about Lolly's and David's little adventure.
STEP III

PRACTISING PREPOSITIONS

3 Introduce BEHIND / IN FRONT OF / BETWEEN.


Follow the procedure above.

1 Ask your pupils to look at the pictures and tell


you where the frogs are. Do task 4 from the
Pupils Book.

Step IV

Always introduce one preposition at a time.

REINFORCING PREPOSITIONS

4 Since you are introducing the prepositions


behind/in front of/between for the first time, do
the following activity to reinforce them.

1 Tell your pupils to look at the picture of Davids


room from task 5 in the Pupils Book. Ask them if
they like it.

Invite one pupil to come in front of the class. Call


another pupil and give him/her the following
instruction: Stand in front of X!

 Ask: What is there in Davids room? When


they say: There is a XXX, also ask: Where?

28

Module 1 HOME AND FRIENDS

Let's catch them


 Go on asking: What else is there? until you
mention all the items in Davids room that they
will have to deal with in the following task.
After having done this with the whole class, your
pupils can do task 5 in the Pupils Book on their
own.
Check by asking somebody to read.

ADDITIONAL TASK

2 You may even play a quick memory game based


on the items listed in this exercise. In that way,
you will again revise the prepositions.

The pupils do task 2 from the Activity Book.

Tasks 1, 3 from the Activity Book can be done for


homework.
STEP V

LET'S ...

ADDITIONAL TASKS

8 Prepare the flashcards from the previous years


with the following animals: a parrot, a fish,
a bird, a kangaroo, a monkey, an elephant, a
bear, a cat. First, they name them. Say true and
false sentences with can/cant about these
animals. If they think your sentence is true, ask
them to clap their hands; if they think it is not,
tell them to whistle.
9 Take the Simon Says word cards again. Give one
card to one pupil at a time and ask him to go to
the blackboard and stand under the right heading
(CAN or CANT). S/he must hold the card so that
the class can see it. The other pupils comment:
Ivan can play the guitar. Proceed until you run
out of cards.

1 Ask your pupils to read and trnaslate the Let's ...

10 Do task 8 from the Pupil's Book. Several pupils


report by reading it aloud.

2 Ask your pupils to do task 7 and write a short


dialogue. The pupils can use the phrases from
task 6 and task 7 as a model.

11 Do task 10 from the Pupils Book.Read the


questions aloud first. The pupils listen to the CD
and answer the questions.

3 Encourage your pupils to read their dialogues and


act them out.

12 Personalization time ask the pupils to think


about themselves and what they can / can't dotask 11.

4 Ask the pupils to translate some of the phrases


for better understanding
Step VI REVISING AND PRACTISING
EXPRESSING ABILITY
5 Play Simon Says to revise some verbs: swim,
fly, play the guitar / the piano, ride a bike, ski,
skateboard, drive a car, play basketball / football,
cook, use a computer... Prepare word cards with
these verbs as well. To make the game more
demanding, after a round or two, instead of
saying the commands, show the cards.
6 Write CAN on one side of the blackboard and
CANT on the other. Talk about yourself. Put a
few cards either under CAN or CANT depending
on your sentence. Make sure they remember
what can and cant mean.
7 Remove the word cards from the blackboard. Ask
them how much they remember about you. Offer
the beginning on the blackboard: You...

Pupil's Book, p. 46.Tell your pupils to report their
surveys to the class.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MINI - PROJECTS

1 Tell your pupils to prepare a list of questions for


you beginning with can. They can interview you.
They write a report and draw you doing one of
the activities you said you can do.
Instead of an interview with you, they can
prepare the same type of interview with a famous
person. They can find a photo of this person in a
magazine, and present it as an illustration for the
interview. You can collect all the interviews and
put them together into your class magazine.
Give it a name!

imagine that they are in the classroom and
answer the questions
3 What can they do? What cant they do? Discuss
the pictures that go with task 3.
The pupils say what they can and what they cant
do.
STEP III

CAN DO STATEMENTS (page 113)

After finishing the tasks draw your pupils


attention to the can do statements in the
workbook. Read them aloud and then let the
children assess themselves. Allow their frank
comments and perhaps a discussion about what
they did well, what they found very demanding
or difficult, what was enjoyable etc.

Module 2 PLACES

Places in a town or a village


Lesson 10
PLACES IN A TOWN OR A VILLAGE
Aim: Learning the names of
different places in a town /
village
Prepositions
Naming some jobs
Saying where people work
Language focus: opposite, next to
There is / are
Vocabulary: places in town,
jobs: cook, actor, policeman,
doctor, teacher, shop assistant,
vet, clerk hungry,
Materials: flashcards from the previous
years and word cards
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I INTRODUCING THE PREPOSITIONS
1 Ask the following questions. Some useful
vocabulary will come out. You will also introduce
two new prepositions: opposite and next to.
What is the name of our town/village? What is
the name of the street where our school is? What
is opposite our school? (help by translating) What
is next to our school? What else is there in this
street?
2 Read the words (places) and ask the children to
tell you what number they are as shown in the
picture. They are familiar with most of the words
from the fifth grade, but help by translating.
3 Do task 2 with the whole class as a chain activity.
Since you have already introduced opposite and
next to, and they practised between previously,
and since visual input is provided in the book,
these prepositions need no further explanation.
4

 ask 3 from the Pupils Book can be done as a


T
pair-work activity, but if you want to have control
over what the children are saying, do it as a team
game. Members of different teams take turns to
ask questions. You monitor and give points for
the correct answers. The books are closed during
the game.

Step II INTRODUCING MORE VOCABULARY


1 Bring the flashcards of places in a town/
village. Play a guessing game with the ones you
mentioned in the previous lesson). One pupil
picks a card. The others guess by asking: Is it a
.?
2 Introduce the words (more places in town)
from task 8 in the Pupils Book. Follow the usual
procedure for introducing new vocabulary.
3 The children do task 4 in the Pupils Book on their
own, but task 5 in the Pupils Book should be
done with the whole class.
4 Tell your pupils that Tom lives in a house. (Write
this sentence on the blackboard.)
Ask: What about the other children? (Lolly,
Jasmine) and do task 6 from the Pupils Book.
First, tell your pupils to point to the pictures as
you read the words at random. Ask your pupils to
repeat after you. Now tell the children to follow
the lines to find out where the other children live.
They complete the sentences in the book. Check
by asking them to read.
5 Personalisation stage. Say where you live (I live)
and ask them: What about you? They follow your
model and talk about themselves.
6 Do task 2 in the Activity Book

Tasks 1, 7 can be done for homework.

7 Prepare the eight flashcards from the previous


years with the jobs listed in task 8 from the
Pupils Book. Ask eight pupils to come to the
front of the class, and give each a card. They face
the class. You ask: Who works in ...?
8 The pupil with the correct flashcard holds it up
and shows it to the class. Then you say the word
(job).
Repeat the procedure until you have introduced
all eight words.
9 Shuffle the cards and put them on the blackboard
face down.
10 Introduce word cards, read them aloud, ask the
pupils to read them.
11 Shuffle the word cards and put them on the
blackboard face down as well.

12 Now you have two columns with cards. Play the
game Match or Mismatch? Representatives of
the teams come to the blackboard, turn over one
card from each column. Their teams decide if it
is a match or a mismatch. They get a point for a
match.
13 The pupils do task 8 in the Pupil's Book.

Youre welcome
Materials: posters
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:

the words, check how many they remember by


reading the English words at random

2 Let your pupils listen to the CD. But, first, write


on the blackboard the questions to which they
will give you the answers after listening:
What is the address of the science museum?
How are the children going to the science
museum?

Check after listening.

3 The children listen again, but this time looking at


the text.
4

Reading practice:

read a sentence (pick more difficult


sentences); your pupils must tell you
who says that; check if they understand
everything;

repeat the above procedure, but this time let


your pupils choose and read the sentences
instead of you;

your pupils read the text in roles.

Step I INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY


1 Start the class by asking your pupils if they come
to school alone, with their friends or with their
parents.
Ask them, in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian, how
they come to school. Introduce expressions by
repeating in English what your pupils say: You
come to school on foot by bus / tram / train /
bike
Show the flashcards from the previous years as
well.
2 Do task 11 from the Pupils Book. Just read the
expressions and let them do this task on their
own. Check by asking several pupils to read what
they have written.
Step II THE WRONG ADDRESS
1

S et the atmosphere for listening. Read the


introductory sentences. (It is late morning. The
children are in front of the school. Today they are
going to the science museum.) Tell the children
that they will find out what a science museum
is if they do task 1 from the Pupils Book. This
task actually introduces some other vocabulary
as well from the text they are about to listen
to. You read the English words aloud and give
them time to find the Bosnian / Croatian /
Serbian word. After you have gone through all

they must tell you what the words mean.


Start slowly, but then speed up. Give them
an additional explanation of what a science
museum is (tehniki / nauni muzej is the
closest translation you can offer, but the
concept is much wider.

5 Do task 3 from the Pupils Book. To practise some


common phrases that appear in this story, do
task 3 from the Pupils Book. They can do this
task on their own, because they have already
been frequently exposed to these phrases.
6 Do task 5. Do it as a pair-work activity: one
pupil asks, the other answers. But if you have
a talkative class and you feel they need more
writing tasks, tell them to write the answers in
their notebooks, and only then check by asking
them to read.
7 Only after they have gone through the previous
task will they be able to retell the story. How?
Ask them to tell you as many answers from the
previous task they can remember. You can ask
them to present it as if they were on TV.
8 When they have finished, ask the pupils to tell
you the ones they can remember without looking
at the books. Ask somebody to translate as well

Tasks 1, 2 can be done for homework

STEP III

REVISING THE STORY

1 Play the game: The Blind Mouse.


2 Explain to your pupils that you will hide an
object (show them the object) somewhere in
the classroom. First, you put a blindfold over
somebodys eyes. Then, hide the object. Say that
you will lead this pupil to the object by giving
instructions.
Go through the instructions before you start
playing:


Go straight on! Stop! Walk!


Turn left! Turn right!

Make sure everybody understands what they


mean.
Repeat the procedure, but let the class guide the
pupil with the blindfold by giving the instructions.
(To make it easier for them, you can write the
instructions on the blackboard.)
3

Do tasks 7 and 12 from the Pupils Book.

4 Explain that giving directions is important when


you want to help someone who is lost, which
was the case with the children on their way to
the Science Museum.
Divide your class into two groups. They all look
back at the story: The Wrong Address.

34

one group looks for the sentences which the


children use to ask for help
the other group looks for the directions the
man gives them.

5 Do task 8 in the Pupils Book. Explain that several


people are lost and they are asking for help. Your
pupils must read the dialogues, look at the map
on the poster, and figure out what each of them
is looking for. The map in the Pupil's Book is only
given as an illustration.
When they finish, they listen to the dialogues on
the CD and check task 9.
Now you can turn this task into a pair-work
activity. Each pair chooses one dialogue. They
must learn it by heart and act it out in front of
the class.
Step IV

NUMBERS 1-1000

1 The pupils listen to the CD and point to the


numbers they hear. Ask the pupils to repeat the
numbers after listening.Repeat the procedure as
many times as possible.
2 Do task 14. They read the numbers after you.

They read the numbers alone.

3 Do task 15 as a pair-activity. Ask them to write


what the numbers from the box. They read them
aloud afterwards.

Tasks 4,6,7 can be done for homework

Module 2 PLACES

A visit to the museum


Lesson 12
A VISIT TO THE MUSEUM
Aim: Learning how to express
obligation and prohibition by
using must / mustnt
Understanding the difference
between this / that / these /
those
Learning a rhyme
Learning vocabulary related to
a museum
Language focus: You must / You mustnt.
This is a .. / That is a ..
These / those are
Vocabulary: high-speed train, rock,
dinosaur, spacesuit, guide,
science museum, the past,
planetarium, the Moon,
experiment Follow me! Hold
this!
Materials: Flashcards from the previous
years, word cards, sentence
cards
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I INTRODUCING THE TOPIC
1 Play a spelling game: the word your pupils must
guess is M U S E U M. Divide the class into
2-3 teams. Each team says any letter from the
alphabet at a time. If that letter is in your word,
write it on the empty line. If it isnt, draw an
element of a stop sign. The winner is the team
which has the smallest number of elements on
the stop sign once the whole word is on the
blackboard.
2 Ask your pupils if they have ever been to a
museum, what museum it was, how they liked it
and what you can see at the museum. Naturally,
you can conduct this introductory discussion
partly in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian.
Ask the children if they remember what a science
museum is and to speculate what you can see
there.

Step II A VISIT TO THE MUSEUM


1 Introduce the story by saying that Lolly, Jasmine
and the others are visiting the Science Museum
today.
2 Do task 1 from the Pupils Book as a prereading activity. First, you read the words aloud
and explain the ones you think they do not
understand.
3 Your pupils listen to the CD and circle the words
from task 1 that they can identify.
4 The children listen to the CD once again and do
task 2 from the Pupils Book. Before listening,
give them a few minutes to read silently the
sentences, or you can read them aloud.

Let them listen again and look at the text.

Reading practice:

play the Translation Race game. You read a


sentence from the text in Bosnian / Croatian
/ Serbian, they find this sentence in the text
and say it in English.

allot roles to your pupils.

5 Do task 5 from the Pupils Book. Let the pupils


work on their own, which should be no problem
for them after having been exposed to the
collocations in previous activities.
6 Do task 3 from the Pupils Book as a pair-work
activity. One pupil chooses 3 questions from the
list and asks his/her partner, who doesnt look at
the text. They exchange roles. If you want your
pupils to practise writing, tell them to write down
in their notebooks the answers to the 3 questions
they have chosen.

Task 1 can be done for homework.

Step III

MUST / MUSTNT

1 Remind the children that there are some rules to


follow when you are at the museum. Tell them
that you will tell them some rules. They must
listen carefully because sometimes you will say
something wrong. If they think your sentence is
not true, tell them to say STOP. Make sentences
using the ideas from task 6 in the Pupils Book.
(For example: You must touch things!?! / You
mustnt bring pets.)

35

Module 2 PLACES

A visit to the museum


Write MUST and MUSTNT on the blackboard and
ask them what these two words mean.
The children write at least 4 true sentences using
the ideas from task 6 in the Pupils Book.
The following tasks reinforce the use of must
and mustnt. Children usually easily acquire this
concept. Therefore, it is entirely up to you to
decide if your class needs more or less practice.
Make your own selection of the following tasks.
7 Ask the children if there are any rules that
children must stick to at school. First, brainstorm
what children MUST do at school and then what
they MUSTNT. If they lack words in English, but
have a lot to say in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian,
help by translating.

Draw a person on the blackboard (say its you).


Write THIS near the person and THAT further
away. Ask them to tell you what the two
words mean. They do a similar drawing in their
notebooks. Do the same with the plural. Draw
two or more persons.
They do task 9 from the Pupil's Book. Check by
asking some pupils to read aloud what they have
written.
Step V
1

T each the rhyme by following a TPR (Total


Physical response) procedure:

They do task 7 from the Pupils Book.

P repare the flashcards from the previous years


with jobs from task 8 in the Pupils Book. Revise
the names of jobs. Distribute the word cards to
your pupils. Ask them to come to the blackboard
and stick the word card next to the correct
picture.

In advance, write on separate cards the second


half of the sentences from task 8 in the Pupils
Book.
Put the half sentence cards on the blackboard
(on the right of the job cards). Ask a volunteer
to come to the blackboard and join with a line
a job with a related half sentence and to read
the whole sentence aloud. There will be a lot of
different combinations. (For example: A teacher
mustnt be strict; A teacher mustnt be rude; A
teacher mustnt be lazy, etc.)
They do task 8 from the Pupils Book on their
own.
Step IV

THIS / THAT /
THESE / THOSE

1 Prepare a number of objects. Put some near you


and some further away from you. Point to each
and say either This is a or That is a.
(depending on the position of the object). Do the

the rhyme points to someone from the class
who will say it after him/her.

2 They listen to the rhyme and point to the items


mentioned in the rhyme.
The children look at the illustration of the witch
in the Pupils Book. Discuss the illustration. Ask
them: What does she look like?What has she
got?
3

STEP II

YOU'VE GOT AN E-MAIL

1 Set the atmosphere for listening by describing the


first illustration. Ask questions like: Who is this?
Whats the time? Is he doing his homework?
What is he doing? etc.
2 Let the children listen to the CD and circle the
computer words they can hear.
3 The children listen once again, but this time they
concentrate on the questions from task 2 in the
Pupils Book.
4 Go through this task twice: first, let them give
you the answers, whenever necessary looking
back at the text; ask them again the same
questions, but do not allow them to look back at
the text.
5 Reading practice. You read aloud and make
deliberate mistakes (e.g. David is on his ship).
They must stand up or clap their hands when you
make a mistake. This will turn the reading into an
amusing activity, which they will probably want
to try to do themselves. When they stop you,
someone must correct you by reading the correct
version of the entire sentence.

Step I INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY

1 Start off with a game: Chinese Whispers. Divide


your class into 2-3 teams. Each team should stand
in a line. You whisper a letter (the same one) to
the first pupil in each line. They pass the letter
on by whispering it to the next pupil in the line
and so on until the letter comes to the last pupil
who writes it down in his/her notebook. You do
the same with the other letters until there are no
more letters. The winner is the team which first
comes to you with the correctly written word
COMPUTER.

7 Do task 3 from the Pupils Book. This is a


telephone conversation from the text, but written
in a mixed order. The children can do it on their
own without any preparation in advance because
they have been exposed to it several times in the
previous steps. However, let them check if they
have done it correctly by letting them listen to the
conversation on the CD.

Write this word on the blackboard.

2 Ask your pupils: Have you got a computer?


Where is it? Is it in your bedroom? Is it in the
living room?
Brainstorm all the words they can think of in
connection with computers write them on the
blackboard. They probably know quite a few.

Do task 1 from the Activity Book.

Roles and let them read aloud in roles.

8 To practise further how telephone conversations


are conducted, the children can work in groups of
three: they memorise this telephone conversation
and act it out. Set a time limit.
9 Ask your pupils if they have their own mobile
phone. Say (exaggerate if necessary) that you
have several phone numbers at home, at work,
your mobile phone... Say the numbers and write
them on the blackboard. Ask someone to repeat
them. Draw their attention to the way 0 and 99
are read.

Look at the words in the Pupils Book. The


children read them aloud and translate them.

10 Do task 5 from the Pupils Book as a listening
activity.
11 Ask the children to tell you their telephone
numbers.
Tasks 2, 3 can be done for homework.
STEP III

REVISING THE STORY

1 Start off by revising the dialogue in task 3 in the


Pupil's Book.

At this point use Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian, but


translate into English so that you immediately
expose your pupils to the vocabulary they will
need.
2 Introduce the text by saying that they will now
read Tom's e-mail to David.
3 You read questions from task 7. The pupils guess
the answers.

2 Ask the pupils to act the dialogue out once again.

4 Read a part of a sentence and invite them to read


the rest. The pupils check their guesses.

3 The pupils answer the questions from task 2 in


the Pupil's Book.

Stop whenever you think additional explanation


of meaning is needed.

4 Ask the pupils to pay attention to the REMEMBER


BOX and object pronouns

5 Say a sentence in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian


and they look for the English one in the text.

Explain the subject and object pronouns. Write


them on the blackboard.

The pupils read the text by paragraphs.

5 The Pupils do tasks 7, 8 in the Activity Book

7 Ask the pupils to look at the photos of Sidney.


Ask them to describe the photos

6 The pupils read the answers aloud and you check


them.

8 The pupils read the text silently. They match the


photos with the text.

7 Ask student in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian how


would they ask somebody for permission. Do the
same in English.

9 They listen to the text to check their answers.

8 Write an example by using MAY I...


9 Put them the school context and let them ask you
for permission
10 The pupils do task 6 from the Pupil's Book
11 The pupils do tasks 6, 4 in the Activity Book.
12 Task 5 can be done for homework.
Step IV

TOM'S E-MAIL ABOUT AUSTRALIA

This step gives some basic information about


Australia, another country where English
is spoken. It should be done as a reading
comprehension activity. There arent any new
structures and most of the vocabulary has already
been presented. It is also likely that your pupils
already know some facts, which will make the
reading comprehension easier.
1 Prepare some bigger photos (the motives from
the pictures in the Pupils Book), put them on the
blackboard and ask your pupils if they recognise
any.

38

10 The pupils read the text aloud, part by part.


11 The pupils answer the questions task 10.
They answer them orally first, then they write the
answers in their notebooks.
12 Encourage them to talk about their own country.
STEP V

WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE

1 Tell the children to look out of the window. Ask:


Whats the weather like?
Revise weather vocabulary by drawing simple
drawings on the blackboard and by asking what
the weather is like in them.
Ask volunteers to come to the blackboard and
stick the sentence cards under each picture or
to write (if you have a stronger class) what the
weather is like.
2 Do task 12 from the Pupil's Book.
3 Do task 13 from the Pupil's Book.
4 Start naming the months and suddenly stop.Ask
your pupils to continue naming them.

Repeat the procedure several times.

1 Revise the seasons (they learned them in the


previous year). Put the typical picture of the
season (flashcards from the previous years) and
say: Look! Its ______.

For curious kids only


This is an optional text followed by some tasks for
pupils who are interested in this topic as well as for
pupils who like to read texts in English.

Ask them to tell you the Bosnian / Croatian /


Serbian word for this season.

TUZLA

After you have introduced all the seasons, ask:


Whats your favourite season? Write words next
to the matching pictures, but leave out some
letters: S_RING / SUMME_ / AU_UMN / WI_TER
Ask what the missing letter is.

Aim: read, talk and write about


Tuzla
Vocabulary: mountain range, salt, shores,
open-air museum, main
square

2 Ask the pupils to do task 15 in the Pupil's Book.

Suggested 1 lesson
teaching time:

9 The pupils orally answer the questions from task


14. Start discussion with your pupils.
Tasks 9, 10 in the Activity Book can be done for
homework.
PROJECT WORK
Tell your pupils to find some information about
animals, sports, cities, nature of Australia.
Tell them to find some photo and make a poster
about Australia.

Ask them to report to the class.

STEP I Tuzla
1 Ask your pupils if they know anything about
Tuzla. Do task 1.
2 Children can now read the article. Since they
already know what is the article about, no further
introduction is needed. After they have finished
reading, ask them if there is any unknown word.
If there is / are write it / them on the blackboard,
pronounce it / them and translate.

Encourage your pupils to translate the text.

3 Do task 3 and 4.


4 Finally, your pupils can do task 5 as a pair or
group activity.
Now ask your pupils to shut their books and tell
you everything they can remember about Tuzla.

Doing a maze

S ay that you are going to revise Module 2. Tell


the pupils to shut their books. Elicit as many
sentences (statements, commands, prohibitions)
as they can remember from this Module. It can
be done in teams. Each team prepares their
sentences. The team with most correct sentences
wins.

2 Draw the pupils attention to the pirate. Ask:


What has he got? (A map.) What is he looking
for? (Lost treasure.) Say: Guess what. A hundred
years ago another pirate buried his treasure
on an island. Today his great-great grandson is
looking for it. Where is it? Shall we find it?
In pairs or teams, the pupils do the maze by
choosing the correct way to the lost treasure. If
they take the wrong one, they either go back or
get stuck on an island. The winner is the pupil
(team) who gets to the pirate treasure first.
STEP II

THE ACTIVITY BOOK

1 Pupils look at the map and complete the text


with the words they can see in the map.
2

 ask 2 revises the vocabulary taught throughout


T
module 2. Limit the time. Turn this task into a
competition.

3 To revise numbers from 1-1000 your pupils


must solve these maths problems, but write the
number in words.
STEP III

CAN DO STATEMENTS (page 113)

After finishing the tasks draw your pupils


attention to the can do statements in the
workbook. Read them aloud and then let the
children assess themselves. Allow their frank
comments and perhaps a discussion about what
they did well, what they found very demanding
or difficult, what was enjoyable etc.

Module 3 FOOD

What's for breakfast?


Lesson 14
WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST?
Aim: Learning to express likes and

Language focus: I like. / I dont like.. Do
you like.? / Yes, I do. / No,
I dont.
Vocabulary: earphones, get ready for..,
meal, perfect world, breakfast,
lunch, dinner, supper, snack
different food
Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:

Check after listening.

2 Let them listen to the CD again. This time they


have to concentrate on details. Do task 2
from the Pupils Book as a while-listening task.
They need to go through the sentences before
listening, and circle the correct alternative while
listening.
Check by asking them to read aloud their
answers.
3 Reading practice. To help the children modulate
their voice as closely to the original as possible,
you may ask them to repeat after the CD. At the
same time, they will be exposed to an entirely
new structure you are about to practise.
Stop after every few lines to check if they
understand everything.

1 Start the class by asking your pupils if they are


hungry. If they are, ask: What would you like to
eat?

To practise reading more, put the children in


groups of three. They practise reading in groups.
It is always motivating to organise a reading
competition. They may even try to act out the
situation.

They will probably recall some vocabulary


from the previous years. Write the words on
the blackboard or stick up the flashcards from
the previous years. Make sure all your pupils
understand the words.

4 In order to lead your pupils into saying a few


sentences about the story on their own, go back
to the sentences from task 2 in the Pupils Book.
You start the sentence and they finish it (without
looking at the book).

2 Revise meals by asking: Which of these (words


from the blackboard) can you eat for BREAKFAST
/ LUNCH / DINNER / SUPPER / as a SNACK?

Step I

REVISING VOCABULARY

Explain in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian (or ask


them to explain) when each of these meals is
(morning, afternoon).

Write the words on the blackboard as well.

Ask several pupils to come to the blackboard and


join with a line the meal and the food that can go
together.
3 Do task 5 from the Pupils Book orally.
4 Ask: What is the most important meal of the day?
The children explain why in B / C / S. You can
expect them to say breakfast which will be a
good lead-in to the story: Whats for breakfast?
Step II

WHATS FOR BREAKFAST?

1 Read the questions from task 1 in the Pupils


Book and let the children listen to the CD and
look for the answers.

E.g. It is morning. Luka is.

After you have gone through all the sentences,


you may ask volunteers to tell you a few
sentences about the story on their own.
As a follow-up, you can do task 4 from the
Pupils Book as a pair-work activity. They ask each
other questions. That is how they personalise
the topic and say a few sentences about their
experience.
Task 1 from the Pupils Book can be done for
homework.
Step III INTRODUCING FOOD
VOCABULARY
1 Check the homework. First, they read. Next, they
shut their notebooks. You say one of the words
from task 1 in the Actvity Book and they try to
tell you the whole sentence with this word.
2 Do task 6 from the Pupils Book, but remove all
the cards from the blackboard.

41

Module 3 FOOD

What's for breakfast?


Step IV

I LIKE / I DONT LIKE

Step V

SINGING THE SONG

1 Draw two big hearts on the blackboard, but cross


one out. Write some words in each heart (things
you like and dont like). Ask the children if they
can explain why you have written the words in
these two hearts and what they mean. Theyll
probably guess and explain in B / C / S that you
like some and dont like the others. At this point,
introduce I LIKE and I DONT LIKE. Say: Yes,
youre right. I like and I dont like .

1 Introduce the song by explaining that Luka likes


music and that he has got his own food song.

2 Write these phrases on the blackboard above


each heart. Translate into B/C/S

4 The pupils listen for a second time, look at the


lyrics and put the lines in the correct order.

3 Ask the children to tell you one thing they like


and one thing they dont like. Go around the
classroom. Give everyone a chance to say what
they like / dont like.

5 They listen and join in singing.

4 The children do task 7 from the Pupils Book on


their own. Dont ask them to read what they
have written because you will go through it in the
following step.
5 Write YES, I DO and NO, I DONT on the
blackboard. Ask the children questions starting
with DO YOU LIKE .? Use elements from task
7 in the Pupils Book. Go around the class and ask
the pupils. Point to the two possible answers on
the blackboard
6 Write on the blackboard the beginning of the
question: DO YOU LIKE.?
Tell your pupils to ask you whatever they want,
but they must start with the words on the
blackboard.

42

2 Draw again two hearts (one crossed out) on the


blackboard. Let the children listen to the song.
Their task is to number the things he likes /
doesnt like.
3 Check after listening. Write down the words in
the correct hearts or ask some pupils to do it.

6 As a follow-up to the song, you can discuss their


eating habits by answering questions from task
10.
Project work is optional.
Task 3 (Activity Book)can be given for homework.

1 Before listening to CD tell your pupils that after


listening you want them to give answers to
following questions:

1. Where are father and Luka?


2. What are they doing there?

3 Do task 2 from Pupil's Book.


4 Pupils consult the grammar corner again in
order to find out something about countable
and uncountable nouns. Teacher writes a list
of countable and uncountable nouns on the
blackboard.
Task 2 from the Activity Book can be given for
homework.

1 Check the homework.


2 Do task 1 (Pupil's Book, page 84) - pupils listen
to the dialogue then read it.
Teacher asks the pupils to look at the pictures
next to the dialogue.
3 Having read the dialogue, pupils will easily
recognise that they are a carton of yoghurt, a
packet of butter and a jar of jam. Teacher writes
these new words on the blackboard.
4 Pupils read the sentences from the REMEMBER
BOX and consult the grammar corner (page 96)
in order to find how to use much and many.

skip, keep fit, brush my teeth,
travel, top floor, stairs, adore,
comics, healthy a.m., p.m.
fruit and vegetables
Suggested 2-3 lessons
teaching time:
Step I

INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY

1 Start the class by telling the children you will tell


them something about yourself.
Write on the blackboard: ALWAYS OFTEN
SOMETIMES NEVER (one next to the other).
While uttering the sentences, do a lot of miming
to make sure they understand. Whenever you use
one of the words from the blackboard, change
your position and stand under it.

Say: I always brush my teeth in the morning.


I often watch TV. sometimes ride my bike.
I never eat chocolate for supper.

2 Translate the words from the blackboard, but ask


them if they can do it first.
Draw the marks under each frequency adverb
as a visual aid to the idea of frequency (always
IIIIIIIIIIII, often I_II_III, sometimes I__I__I, never
_____).
They copy the words into their notebooks and
write down the translation.
3 Say more sentences about yourself in order to
introduce some new vocabulary from the text
you are going to do later. At the same time, you
will expose the children to the new language
structure which this lesson focuses on.

44

Tell the children that they will now check how


well they know you. Slowly say 8-10 sentences.
Some of the sentences you will be saying must be
true and some false. Therefore, ask your pupils to
draw a table in their notebooks: Tell the children
that they will now check how well they know
you. Slowly say 8-10 sentences. Some of the
sentences you will be saying must be true and
some false. Therefore, ask your pupils to draw a
table in their notebooks:
true

false

1
They listen to you and put a tick in the column
they think is right. While reading, make sure they
understand (translate if necessary).
Here are some suggestions: I love nature. I live on
the top floor. I never skip breakfast. I get up early.
I often jog. I travel a lot. I read comics. I eat a lot
of fruit and vegetables.
After you have gone through all the sentences,
read each sentence again. It would be very good
to put the cards with the written form of these
sentences on the blackboard as well. Read each
sentence and comment on it: Yes, thats true.
No, its not true. I dont live...
Ask the children how many things they have
guessed correctly. They will probably be proud if
they have guessed more than half.
Step II

LOOK WHOS TALKING

1 Set the atmosphere for listening by discussing the


illustrations of Aunt Sanja and Uncle Vedran. Ask
a few questions:


How old are they?


What does look like?
Who is lazy? etc.

2 Let the children listen to the text and guess who


is talking. The children listen again and look at
the text.
3 They do task 2 from the Pupils Book.
4 Reading practice.
The children listen to the CD again and look at
the text. Stop every now and then if you think
you need to explain some words. Encourage
your pupils to raise their hand if they still do not
understand something.

Module 3 FOOD

Look who's talking


5 Play the game: Be the first to find the following
sentence. You read a sentence from the text.
They must find the sentence that follows it in the
text and read it aloud. This can be organised as a
team game as well.
Organise a reading competition: each team reads
one text. Dont let one pupil read the whole
text, because this should be a joint venture. You
monitor and mark the mistakes. The team with
fewer mistakes is the winner.
6 Do task 3 from the Pupils Book and task 1 from
the Activity Book to reinforce the vocabulary from
this lesson.
7

 ask 2 from the Activity Book can be done for


T
homework.

Step III REINFORCING THE PRESENT


SIMPLE WITH I
1 Check the homework.

Do task 4 (Pupil's Book)

8 Do task 4 from the Activity Book.


Invent two imaginary characters: Mr Goodie and
Mr Baddie. Write their names on the blackboard.
It would be more colourful if you could find
illustrations of these two characters.
Also copy the sentences from task 4 on slips
of paper. Put the slips of paper into a bag. Go
around the class. One pupil pulls out a slip and
reads it. The other pupils say whose sentence it is:
Mr Goodies or Mr Baddies
By doing this task, you will raise awareness
among your pupils about good and bad habits.
Task 3 from the Activity Book can be done for
homework.
Step IV

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

1 Put the flashcards with fruit and vegetables


from the previous grade on the blackboard. Ask
your pupils to tell you if they belong to fruit or
vegetables.

2 Allot roles to pupils. Say: You are Aunt Sanja /


Uncle Vedran. Say something about yourself.

Ask your pupils to put these words in the correct


order.

3 Say: You know my story, you know Aunt Sanjas


story and Uncle Vedrans story. What about you?

2 Prepare the flashcards with fruit and vegetables


from task 10 in the Pupils Book.

4 Do task 6 in the Pupils Book. Read all the


sentences aloud to make sure they understand
them all.

Put them all on the blackboard your pupils tell


you if it belongs to fruit or vegetables.

5 Write the words ALWAYS, OFTEN, SOMETIMES,


NEVER on cards and stick them on the four
different walls of the classroom. Call four pupils
to the blackboard. Read a sentence (for example,
I drink milk). Tell them to go to one of the above
word cards depending on how often they do
what you say. When they reach their word, they
must repeat the sentence, but add the frequency
adverb as well. With every new sentence, call out
a new group of pupils so that all your pupils have
a chance to participate in this activity.
Look for ideas for the sentences in task 7 from
the Pupils Book and task 5 from the Activity
Book.
6 The children can do task 5 from the Activity Book
on their own.
7

Do task 7 from the Pupils Book.

After that, they can work in pairs to interview


their partner just to see how much they have in
common (task 9). This is optional.

Ask them if they can name any in English. Circle


the ones they can name. To introduce and
practise new vocabulary, go through the usual
procedure for introducing new vocabulary:



say it, point, they repeat in chorus;


say it, point, they repeat individually;
say it, they point
point, they say it in chorus / individually.

Play Whats missing remove 2 items at a time


until there is nothing left on the blackboard.
3 Do tasks 10 and 11 from the Pupils Book.
4 Do task 12 from the Pupils Book. Only after they
have finished the task do you draw the pupils
attention to the difference between the singular
and plural: cherry but cherries, etc.

4 They listen to the CD again and look at the text.

Do task 3 from the Pupils Book.

5 Check their understanding. Say a word from


the text (flowers, dinner party, corn, games, set
the table, delicious, napkin, etc.). They compete
to be the first to find the sentence with this
word and read it. Choose sentences which
contain vocabulary you want to check their
understanding of. Check if they understand, and
translate if necessary.
6 Reading practice: allot roles to pupils.
7 Do task 4 from the Pupils Book. The children
complete the sentences with the missing words
on their own, but while looking at the text.
Check by asking someone to read what they have
written.
8 Now you can ask the children to tell you
everything they can about Melanies special day.
Advise them to try to remember the sentences
from the previous task.

1 Put up the flashcards from the previous years


with the objects from task 6 in the Pupils Book
(spoon, knife).

Ask: When do we need these?

Follow a shortened procedure for introducing


new vocabulary:

2 Pre-teach some words by doing task 1 from the


Pupils Book. Say that you want to see how many
words they can match in a limited time. They
work in groups.

- say it and point;


- point, say it, they repeat;
- point, they say it.
- read the word cards you

Before they start working, read aloud all the


words. They match the words in the book. Check
by asking someone to read what they have
written.

T hey do task 6 on their own. Check by asking:


What hasnt X got?.

46

2 Play Match or Mismatch with the words from


task 2 in the Activity Book. Write the words on
separate cards. Put them on the blackboard face
down in two columns. On the back of each card
from the first column, write a number (bigger

Module 3 FOOD

Dinner at the Cooper's


than 20) and on the back of each card from
the second column write a letter (preferably a
difficult one so they revise the alphabet).
Divide your class into two teams. Pupils from each
team say one number and one letter. If these two
words go together, they must say Match and
they win a point.

 asks 1 and 2 from the Activity Book can be


T
done for homework.

Step III REVISING THE STORY /


THANKSGIVING
1 Start the class with a game to revise some
vocabulary. Divide your class into two teams.
Mime actions in which you use the objects
listed in task 6 from the Pupils Book (4 actions
per team. For example, you mime eating soup,
cutting bread.).
If they guess what it is that you are using, they
get a point.
2 The children do task 4 from the Activity Book on
their own.
3

Check the homework.

Children read the correct sentences from task 1.


Without looking at the book, they tell you all the
correct sentences again.
Also revise the collocations from task 2. First,
they read the pairs. Then, they shut their
books. You say the first part of the collocation,
and they say the second part.
4 Introduce the concept of THANKSGIVING, but
dont go into details. This step is optional.
First, ask a few questions about Thanksgiving
that they have already learnt from the story,
for example:
What is the name of the special day
for Melanie?

What do they usually eat?

What is there in New York?

What do they usually do?

Step IV PRACTISING THE PRESENT SIMPLE


WITH WE/THEY
1 Ask what the name of our country is in English.
Ask where Melanie comes from.
Write BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA and THE USA
on the blackboard.
Say the following sentences and your pupils will
tell you for which country it is true:

It is very big. Its capital is Sarajevo. People


speak English there. People dont go to
work by underground. People eat a lot of
hamburgers there.

2 Do task 7 from the Pupils Book.


Do it orally first. Say that they will now see how
different the life of children in the USA and
Bosnia and Herzegovina is. Give an example and
write it on the blackboard:

We speak Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. But: They


dont speak Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian.

You read the sentence endings from task 7 (they


will probably understand them all, but check
nevertheless). They have to make full sentences.
E.g. You read: ...go to school by school bus

They say: They go to school by school bus.
You may give some additional information about
each fact in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian.
3 To introduce the question form with we and
they in the Present Simple, ask a few additional
questions about the difference between the USA
and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Write beforehand
the answers on the blackboard: YES, WE DO. NO,
WE DONT. YES, THEY DO. NO, THEY DONT.

Here are some ideas:

Do we eat a lot of hamburgers in Bosnia and


Herzegovina? Do we play computer games in
English? Do they celebrate Christmas? Do they
learn Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian at school?
4 Task 5 from the Activity Book can be given for
homework.

Say a few words about Thanksgiving (but just a


few) or prepare a few illustrations.

Do task 3 from the Activity Book.

47

Module 3 FOOD

REVISION
Step I

Do task 11 (pupil's book).

Do task 12 in groups.

Step II
Start off by asking your pupils if they would like
to be a detective for a while.
Let them do this detective puzzle on their own
or in pairs. They need to choose the correct
alternative in every sentence. To solve the mystery
they must complete the sentence at the bottom
by writing the circled letters on the empty lines.
Award the first pupil who successfully finishes the
task.
The solution is: Tom is looking for his favourite
blue backpack.

48

Step II

CAN DO STATEMENTS (page 114)

After finishing the tasks draw your pupils


attention to the can do statements in the
workbook. Read them aloud and let the children
assess themselves. Allow their frank comments
and perhaps a discussion about what they
did well, what they found very demanding or
difficult, what was enjoyable etc.

DAILY ROUTINE ACTIVITIES

Warm up

Ask your pupils if they like spaghetti. Tell them


they are going to draw spaghetti to match some
words and then say what these expressions
mean. In pairs, the pupils do the matching in task
1 and write the meanings of the expressions.
The winner is the pair that finishes first or has
most correct guesses. In turn, the pupils write the
expressions and their meaning on the board.
Variation: Prepare word cards with these English
collocations and their B/C/S equivalents:
protect the environment - tititi okoli.
fight bullies - boriti se s nasilnicima
help good people - pomagati dobrim ljudima
jog around the block - trati oko bloka
go swimming - ii na plivanje

play computer games - igrati kompjuterske
igrice
have lunch - ruati

Presentation

Tell the pupils to look at the pictures and guess


who it is about. (About Melanie.)
3 The pupils listen to the text and find out how
many times a day Mel protects the environment,
task 2. (6 times: 5 times in real life and once in a
dream.)
4 Listening a second time, the pupils try to find out
which chores Melanie does, which is task 3 in the
Pupils Book.
(She makes her bed, helps her mum wash up
after lunch, and takes out the rubbish.)

5 Listen and repeat. Invite the pupils to read while


listening to the text again. Stop the CD and each
time have a different pupil repeat one part of a
sentence.
6

Practice

They read the text in roles: Tom, Luka and David


(9 children for David). Repeat the reading and
correct the mistakes.
7 Comprehension - After reading, the teacher asks
Who questions. The pupils do task 4 in the Pupils
Book.
Step II PRESENT SIMPLE, 3RD PERSON
SINGULAR, POSITIVE
1 Draw the students attention to the -s in the
verbs.
Ask somebody: Do you make your bed? They say:
Yes.
And what about Melanie? They answer. She
makes her bed.
Draw a table with 2 columns: I and Melanie:

Melanie

I make my bed.

Melanie makes her bed.

Write in it: I make my bed. Melanie makes her


bed.

First, give them the English cards only. After


doing task 1 successfully, the pupils read the
collocations and stick them on the board.

Ask a couple more questions, raising their


awareness of the -s ending.

After that, they find the B/C/S translations to stick


them next to the English collocations.

2 Ask the pupils to find more examples of -s in


the text and underline them (wakes up, goes to
school, protects the environment.).

49

Module 4 DAILY ACTIVITIES

Then she protects the environment


Next, they fill in the table with more verbs for
Melanie. Then they also write the forms for
themselves, without -s.
I

Melanie

I make my bed.

Melanie makes her bed.

I wake up.

Step III

TELLING THE TIME 1

The pupils read the text in roles.


1 Ask comprehension questions about the text.
2

Telling the time: explanation

Melanie wakes up.

Ask: When does Mel have lunch? They answer.


Write: Mel has lunch at fifteen minutes past one.

I protect the
environment.

She protects the


environment.


Ask: When do they go swimming?
Write: They go swimming at twenty-five past
three.

I fight bullies.

She fights bullies.

3 Connect the -s form of the verb with finger


snapping. Every time you hear the form, snap
your fingers. Invite the pupils to snap their fingers
as well. This will establish an auditory (they hear)
and kinaesthetic (they do) link with this new
grammar item.
The pupils read the text starting from picture 4.
One by one the pupils read while everybody in
the class snaps their fingers. This can be fun and
it will introduce this important grammar item in
an amusing, painless way.
4

 sk the pupils if they like matching. Then ask


A
them to do task 5. It can be done individually or
in pairs. After completing the task, check it.


Ask: When does she read e-mails?
Write on the other side of the board: She reads
e-mails at twenty to two.
Ask: When does she have dinner?

Write: She has dinner at ten to seven.

Write PAST on the left and TO on the right.

Explain that the time can be expressed in two


different ways. First, we can use the words past
and to: Its twenty-five past three. Its three
twenty-five. In the other way, we can use hours
and minutes. Give the four equivalents of the
B/C/S word sat in English: clock, watch, hour,
oclock. After this, do task 6, listen and point.
3 Practice: Do task 7 in the Pupils Book, filling in
the times.
4

Speaking: Talk about Melanie. Do task 8.

5 Go through task 9 and check if the pupils know


and understand the times offered in the exercise
6 Do task 10.
7 Tasks from the Activity Book can be given for
homework.

G
they dont do, such as: I dont drink wine. I dont
drive a car. I dont sleep on the floor. I dont live
in the United States. I dont study French. I dont
eat bulbs. I dont kiss frogs. One child says: I dont
drink wine. The whole class shouts: She doesnt
drink wine! The next child says something else,
either their own sentence or, if they cant think
of any, a sentence from your list. The whole class
shouts: He doesnt sleep on the floor!

Variation: It can be done as a team game. There


are two teams, A and B. A child from team A
makes a sentence about something they dont
do: I dont watch horror films. A child from team
B makes a sentence with He or She: He doesnt
watch horror films. Then they continue with I
dont (speak Chinese). If they get stuck, they can
always say: I dont kiss frogs.
If they say something wrong, the others can say:
He doesnt kiss frogs.
8 Tasks from the Activity Book can be given for
homework.

2 The pupils look at the illustration. You ask them


what Ronda does and what she doesnt do.
3 Next they look at the text and try to guess which
words from above go in the gaps.

Ask: Would you like to hear Jasmines rhyme


about the unusual girl?

Suggested 2 lessons
teaching time:
Step I HEY MEL, DAVID HAS A CRUSH ON YOU
1 Say that the children are back from the camping
trip and everything is as usual. Only David was ill,
but today he is back at school. Have the pupils
look at the picture and describe what they can
see. Ask some questions to help them. Soon they
are going to hear their dialogue.
2 The children listen to the CD and find out why
David wants to be at school, task 1. (He has a
crush on Melanie.)
3 Ask what school subjects are mentioned. They
listen again and find out.
4

The pupils read the dialogue.

5 You read a sentence from the dialogue and ask


who says that. They have to be very quick at
guessing.
6 They read the dialogue again in roles. Then they
do comprehension task 2.
7

Next, they answer the questions, task 3.

8 The pupils shut their books and say as many


sentences as they can remember from the lesson.
Next, ask them to remember as many questions
as they can.

Step ll PRESENT IMPLE: 3rd PERSON
SINGULAR QUESTIONS
1 Check the homework.
2 The pupils play a game: task 5 in the Pupils
Book. In teams, they make as many questions
as they can. The winner is the team with most
correct questions.
Next, they ask other teams to answer their
questions.
The winner is the team with most correct
answers.
3 The pupils play SAUSAGES. This is an amusing
game in which players try to keep a straight
face for as long as possible while practising WHquestions.
One pupil is asked all sorts of funny questions,
but the only answer they must give is the word
SAUSAGES! They mustnt laugh, smile or show
any emotion. Every player takes it in turn to be
straight-faced. The winner is the player who
answers the most questions without smiling.
(For example: What does David like very much?
Sausages!
 Where does Jasmine read her books?
Sausages!
What does Tom play when he goes to
his practice? Sausages!

Step lll

HAVE TO / HAS TO-practice

1 The pupils look at task 6. In this task they will


revise school subjects but also learn how to
express that something is necessary to be done.
First, the pupils comment David's timetable and
then the teacher asks them questions: e.g.What
does he have to learn on Monday? How often
does he have to learn history? etc.
The teacher writes some sentences with have to/
has to on the blackboard and go through the
Remember box. The pupils consult the Grammar
corner (page 113)
2 Do task 3 in the Activity book.

Module 4 DAILY ACTIVITIES

send e-mails to? How does Melanie run / swim.
etc?
3 Say that you are Luka/Tom/Lolly/Jasmine now, and
that you are doing the same chant with David.
Make all the necessary changes:

4 In pairs, the pupils do the chant. One is David, the


other is Luka/Tom/Lolly.

ANIMALS

1 Ask a volunteer to come to the front of the class


and mime an animal. The others guess. Repeat
as long as they are willing to participate and have
ideas.
If your pupils are reluctant to participate, play a
team competition game: they name animals in
turn. Limit the thinking time.
Write the words that pop up on the blackboard.
2

Do task 1 from the Pupils Book.

3 Do task 2 from the Pupils Book as well, but


orally. Use this task to introduce some new
vocabulary which will appear in the lesson you
are about to work on.

For example, ask:

Can you name an animal that has a long nose


a trunk / sharp teeth / feathers? (mime). Can
you name an animal that can climb a tree /
fly?
 Where else do animals live? (welcome their
ideas in B/C/S and translate into English)
jungle, grassland, sea, ocean, farm, nest.
What else do animals eat? (meat, fruit,
insects, plankton)

54

Write all the new words on the blackboard.


Play the Cross Out game. You call out a word.
Two pupils compete to be the first to cross it out.
Ask someone to translate the crossed-out word
into B/C/S.
Step II

LOLLY IS WORRIED

1 To introduce the topic you are about to work on,


ask the children which of the characters from the
book loves animals the most. They will probably
say Lolly, so ask them if they can remember
which animals are her pets (a mouse, frogs, a
grasshopper, a cat).
2 Write the pre-reading questions from task 3A in
the Pupils Book on the blackboard. Read them
aloud and make sure they understand them.
Invite your pupils to guess. Let them silently
read the short introductory text and tell you the
correct answers to the above question.
3 Pupils listen to the CD and look for the answer
to the question from task 3C. It is a conversation
between Lolly and her aunt Winnie. You can find
the tapescript at the back of the Pupils Book.
4

hey answer after listening.

5 Do task 2 from the Activity Book.


6 The children can now read the article. Since
they already know what the article is generally
about, no further introduction is needed. But
before they read, tell your pupils to look at the
illustrations. They tell you what animals the article
is about. The only new one may be a stork, so
help by translating.
Also ask questions about each animal group to
prepare the children for reading:

 o you know where live / what .eat /


D
what ..can do / why are in danger?

B/C/S is allowed at this point.

Now you can proceed to the article which should


be done as a true reading comprehension task.
There are two ways you can deal with it:

1 If you have a stronger class, they read the


whole article and do task 4 in the Pupils
Book on their own

complete the sentences. Remember that


you have already introduced most of the
vocabulary.

Module 4 DAILY ACTIVITIES

Lolly is worried

2 If you have a weaker class, group your pupils


in groups of five. Assign each pupil the
text about one animal only. They complete
the sentences from task 4 in the Pupils
Book, but only those that relate to their
animal. They work in groups. Go through
all the sentences each pupil reads his/her
sentences.

Check with the whole class by asking somebody


to read.
7

Reading practice.

First, you read the entire article aloud. Stop to


explain the new vocabulary.
Then, you read one sentence in B/C/S and they
look for the English equivalent in the text. You
can play it as a translation race.

They read aloud.

 asks 1 and 3 from the Activity Book can be done


T
for homework.

Step III
1

REVISING THE ARTICLE

Check the homework.

2 Play a game: Yes/No chairs. Divide your class


into two teams. Put two chairs in front of the
blackboard and stick a YES card on one and a NO
card on the other. Say true and false sentences
about the animals from the article. Use the
ideas from task 5 in the Pupils Book. You read
a sentence aloud and the representatives of
the two teams compete to be the first to sit on
the correct chair. The pupil who first sits on the
correct chair wins a point for his/her team.
If you think that there is too much movement
and that it is impractical to do this, instead of the
yes/no chairs game, tell your pupils to clap their
hands if your sentence is true and to say STOP if it
is not true.
3 Do task 5 from the Pupils Book. The children
make true sentences orally. They can also write
one sentence about each animal group in their
notebooks.
4 Divide your class into five groups. Each group
says everything about one animal group without
looking at their books.

5 Ask them if they can think of ways to help


animals in danger. Welcome their ideas in Bosnian
/ Croatian / Serbian as well. Somebody will
probably remember Lollys idea about adopting
an animal, so ask them if they would like to
adopt an animal. Ask why, as well.
Step IV HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT ANIMALS?
1 Do task 8 from the Pupils Book. The children can
do it on their own as they only have to choose
the correct answer.
2

 ask 9 from the Pupils Book practises the same


T
language functions the pupils were exposed to
in the previous task. Here they have to use them
actively.

First of all, make sure that your pupils understand


all the words.
Give clear instructions to your pupils. Since there
are four animals, I advise you do two with the
whole class as a chain activity, and the other two
as a pair-work activity. They ask and answer the
questions.
3 Pupils write a report about one animal group in
their notebook.
4

Brainstorm where animals can live.

The zoo will probably be one of the suggestions.


Use this as an introduction to task 11: WHICH
CAGE BELONGS TO WHICH ANIMAL? from the
Pupils Book. This is a listening comprehension
task. You can find the tapescript at the back of
the Pupils Book.
They listen and name all the animals mentioned.
Write them on the blackboard.
The children get into groups and compare their
answers. You may let them listen once again.
5 Do task 12 from the Pupils Book. They do
this activity in groups of four and discuss their
answers.

Check with the whole class.

Discuss also the questions that will lead you into


another topic pets (task 13).
6 Assign task 7 from the Pupil's book for
homework.

Doing a maze

1 Ask the pupils to look at pages 114/115 (Pupil's


book). Ask what Rudy (the mouse) likes eating
Cheese.) Say that Rudy is very happy because it
can hop over cheeses and come to a lot of cheese
that he can eat all up. Ask if they would like to
help Rudy hop to the cheese. But careful! There is
Oscar. Help Rudy avoid Oscar and reach his goal.
In pairs or individually, the pupils do the maze by
choosing the correct cheese. If they step on the
wrong one, they either go back or they cant go
on. The winner is the pupil/pair who gets to the
park first.
2 After finishing the game, draw your pupils
attention to the can do statments in the
workbook. Read them aloud and then let the
children assess themselves. Allow their frank
comments and perhaps a discussion about what
they did well, what they found very demanding
or difficult, what was enjoyable etc.

1 The pupils first do the odd man out, task 1 in the


Activity Book, and then discuss it.
2 Elicit what the pupils know about Tom: What
kind of boy is he? What does he like? What
does he play? Is he a good friend? Does he do
any chores? How often does he go to basketball
practice? Does he take his twin brothers to their
practice? Does he swear, etc?
After that, they write about Tom, task 2 in the
Activity Book.
3 If you are short of time, assign task 3 for
homework. If not, have the pupils ask questions
with does.

Aim: Practising the comparative
form of short adjectives
Practising vocabulary dealing
with adjectives
Language focus: He is smarter than ...
Vocabulary: small, big, calm, smart, pretty,
tornjak, present, pizza,
cousin...
Materials: word cards, photographs,
postcards
Suggested 1 lesson
teaching time:
Step I

INTRODUCING THE TOPIC

1 Start the lesson by revising the adjectives.


2 Prepare the word cards with some adjectives
written on them.
3 Let the pupils choose one of the cards and stick
them on their heads.
4 They ask questions in order to guess the
adjectives.
1. Am I ...?
2. What kind of a person am I....?
5 Put some word cards on the blackboard and tell
the pupils to memorize as many adjectives as
possible.
6 Move away the word cards and let them write as
many adjectives as possible in their notebooks.
7 Check their answers (memory).
Step II

INTRODUCING THE STORY

6 Let the pupils do task 5 in the Pupil's Book as a


pair-activity.
In this task the students are supposed to think of
an animal which is, for example, ...BIGGER THAN
A SHEEP; ...SLOWER THAN A WOLF (comparative
form of short adjectives).
This exercise also tests the children's
understanding both of the language and of the
world around them (here biology, zoology).
7 Ask the children to check the answers of this
exercise at home and use a zoology book, a
lexicon or an encyclopaedia.
8 Draw the pupils' attention to the REMEMBER
BOX.


- The pattern is the comparison of short


adjectives: STRONGER THAN; FUNNIER THAN;
BIGGER THAN...
- Encourage the pupils to study the pattern and
say if there is a rule for comparing things, what
ending is added, what word is always used.
- Ask the pupils to write their own examples
using the suggested comparative; e.g. A PLANE
IS BIGGER THAN A BUS, etc.

Step III

QUIZ TIME

1 Do task 7 from the Pupil's Book. Devide the


pupils into groups.
2 The representative of each group comes in
front of the class and write the answers in the
appropriate column on the blackboard previously
drawn by the teacher.
3 If the answer is correct, the group gets a point.
4 The group with all the correct answers is the
winner.

1 Let the pupils describe the photos in the Pupil's


Book.

Tasks 5, 6 in the Activity Book can be done for


homework.

2 The pupils guess who is coming to see Luka and


what he has got as a present.

INTRODUCING FAIRY TALES

1 Ask your pupils if they like reading stories, what


kind of stories they like, and what their favourite
story is.
Write on the blackboard FAIRY TALES and ask
the children if they know any fairy tales. They
will probably come up with a lot of fairy tales in
Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian. Do not translate at
this point.
2 Prepare cards with the titles of fairy tales in
English (the ones from task1 in the Pupils Book).
Put the cards on the blackboard, read them
aloud and ask your pupils if they can translate
any of them (which they probably will be able to
do since they have seen some English cartoon
versions of these fairy tales).
3 Discuss fairy tales by asking the questions such as:



- What is your favourite fairy tale?


- Who is your favourite fairy tale character?
- Are fairy tales only for little children?
- Are fairy tales wonderful / OK / boring for you?

4 Prepare more cards, but with the words from


task 1 in the Activity Book. Show the pupils the
cards one by one, and read aloud and translate
if necessary. Distribute the cards and ask them to
stick the cards under the correct fairy tale title on
the blackboard. All the pupils in the class monitor
and correct possible mistakes. Ask them if they
can think of at least one more word that belongs
to each of the fairy tales on the blackboard.

Set a time limit for them to answer as many
questions as possible. Tell them to get organised:
one pupil reads the question and the other
three supply the answers. When the time is up,
ask each group how many questions they have
answered.
Each pupil now chooses only 3- 4 questions and
answers them in writing. This is optional and
depends on how much time you can spare.

well. After every few sentences, stop and explain
the new words. Write these on the blackboard.
8 Practise reading of the first part of the story with
your pupils.

there are many new words for your pupils. Call
out a word in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian and
ask a volunteer to come to the blackboard and
cross out the corresponding English word.

answers them in writing. This is optional and
depends on how much time you can spare.
15 Do task 5 from the Pupils Book. Read the
adjectives aloud and explain what they mean if
necessary. Let them do this task alone and report

write numbers or letters on the blackboard in
two columns (nine words each). Divide your class
into 2-3 teams. When its their turn, they say one
number from each column. You tell them what
the words hiding under these numbers are. They

OUR PYJAMA PARTY GHOST STORY


It revises the Past Simple of irregular verbs
WH-words in questions.
It should be done for the pleasure of listening
to the story. Therefore, do your best to create a
scary atmosphere as suggested further on.
Step I SETTING THE ATMOSPHERE FOR
THE STORY
1 Ask your pupils to shut their eyes and relax. Tell
them to follow your instructions. It will take a few
minutes for them to calm down, but dont be
discouraged if they do not accept it immediately
it is simply something they are not used to.
While they have their eyes closed, draw the
curtains, put up (or draw) some pictures of
ghosts, and light a candle.
Say the following in a mysterious voice: It is
night. It is very dark. Nobody is with you. You are
all alone. You are in an old castle. (Make some
strange sounds at this point.) Look around you.
What can you see? Are you happy? Are you
scared?
If you fear that your pupils wont be able to
follow you, youd better repeat each statement
in Croatian. The point is to create the right
atmosphere.
At this point, ask them to open their eyes. Now
the atmosphere in the classroom is ready for
storytelling.

68

2 Explain that they are going to listen to Aunt


Winnies ghost story.
They look at the words from task 1 in the
Pupil's Book and decide which of the words can
be in the ghost story. Naturally, you must read
all the words aloud before doing this activity.
Meanwhile, your pupils can point to them. Make
sure your pupils understand all the words. Only
then can they single out the ones they think will
appear in the ghost story.
Step II THE GHOST STORY
1 The children listen to the story. It is not necessary
to give them any task before listening. Just tell
them to relax and listen to the story.
So far, you have always been advised to give your
pupils an easy task before the first listening task.
However, this is a story and you have already
created certain tension around it. So, just let
the children listen and enjoy the story.
2 After this first listening, ask your pupils for their
impression. Ask if they liked the story, if they
expected such an ending. At this point use
Croatian.
3 The children listen for the second time. Now their
task is to circle all the words from task 1 in the
Pupil's Book that they can hear in the story.
4 They listen to the story for the third time and look
at the text. Stop after every few sentences to
check their understanding.
5 Do task 3 from the Pupil's Book. Advise them
to look back at the story while doing this task.
Check by asking somebody to read what they
have written.
6

Reading practice:

You say one word in Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian,

2 Play Match or Mismatch with the words from


task 4 in the the Pupil's Book.
Write the words on cards and put them in
two columns face down on the blackboard.
Write numbers or letters next to the cards.
Teams compete to find more matching pairs of
opposites. When it is their turn, they call out two
numbers/letters and you turn the cards face up.
They read the words aloud and say if it is a match
or a mismatch.
3 Do task 6 from the Pupil's Book as a group-work
activity. Copy the sentences on slips of paper.
Give each group (4 pupils) a set of these nine slips
with sentences. The pupils put these sentences
in the correct order. Check by asking someone to
read them. Now they can copy the sentences, but
they must use the sequence markers from task
7 in the Pupil's Book. First, revise them by asking
what they mean.

Step IV

SINGING A SONG

1 Your pupils work in pairs and ask each other


these questions.

You add some more questions:

Are you sometimes alone at home?


How do you feel?
Are you scared?
What do you do?

2 Say that they are going to listen to a scary song.


Invent a little story: A girl/boy is alone at home
and s/he is scared. So s/he sings a song to feel
better.
Let them listen to the song and snap their fingers
to the rhythm of the song.
3 They listen and join in when it is the chorus.
4 Divide the class into 3 groups (since there are
3 verses). Each group joins in with one verse.

read a sentence from the dialogue. Your pupils


must guess who says that sentence. Choose
sentences you think need to be translated, but
also sentences which contain DID because you
want to expose your pupils to these as much
as possible. The aim is for the pupils to realise
the difference without actually being told or
without overt explanation.
pupils can now practise reading in groups of
three;
organise a reading competition: groups read
and you mark and count the mistakes. The
group with the fewest mistakes wins.

Tasks 4, 5 can be done for homework.

Introduce task 5 from the Activity Book by saying


that David is in bed, too. Ask them to guess why.

children just listen and tell you what the matter is
with the boy.
Next, they listen again and put the sentences of
the dialogue in the correct order. Give them some
time to read the sentences before listening.

can feel this special Christmas atmosphere, there
is no need for a particular lead in to the topic.

1 Start by asking: What is the other words for a


rabbit?

Start off by asking your pupils to tell you all


the words they associate with Christmas. Write
them on the blackboard or ask volunteers to do
it for you. You may even invite them to illustrate
them as well. Move to task 1 from the Pupil's
Book. Let your pupils look at the picture for one
minute and find 5 things that do not belong to
Christmas. Here are these five things:

Write down hare and bunny. Say that every


Easter a bunny brings something. What is it?
(Eggs.) What do we call this bunny? (Easter
Bunny)

- the month on the calendar is April

2 Point to the picture of Humpty Dumpty. Talk


about him. What is he like? What about his
head? Is it big or small? And his legs? Where is
he sitting? Is it safe? Can he fall down? After
doing exercise 2 orally, the children do it in
writing: write down big or small.

- there is a Valentine card on the fire place

probably heard it before, but they most likely do
not know all the lines. So let them listen to the
song and complete it with the missing words.
Ask what this song is actually about. Namely,
children often master songs well without actually
understanding the lyrics.
Let them sing the song several times.

Do task 1 in the Activity Book.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Once upon a time there was a funny eggman.


He had a big head, big eyes, big ears but a
small body, small legs and feet, small arms
and hands. (Mime everything you talk about.)
One day he climbed a big wall. He got very
tired but came to the top. He was very
happy. (Smile.) And from there he looked
around. (Shade your eyes.) He saw many
soldiers, horses and the king. (Mime a man
with a gun, a horse, and a crown.) He got
excited and started to wave. (Hello, my King!
Hello soldiers, hello horses!) He was singing
and swinging his legs: left-right, left-right.
Suddenly, Humpty fell off the big wall. He
had a really great fall. Like a bomb! Humpty
exploded. (Mime the explosion.) He was
in pieces. The King said: Quickly, help the
poor man! All the horses and all the soldiers
picked his pieces up. But they couldnt find
all of them. They couldnt put him together
again. So this was the end of Humpty
Dumpty. But who can forget him?

4 Say that they are going to listen to a song about


Humpty Dumpty. Go through the text and
explain everything. Then play the song and invite
the children to sing along.

Repeat the song several times.
