story "Taking care of mom" - 3ºC

Hello!


Last lesson 3ºC listened to a delightful story called "Take care of mom" by Gina and Mercer Mayer
Before listening to the story I wrote some important words from the story: mom, dad, grandma, sick, eat breakfast, chips, get dressed, sister, spill the jar, bed, sandwich, puppy, box of tissues, toys, clean up take care. After discussing the meaning of the words and expressions, through gestures, descriptions and drawings, students tried to guess what was going to happened in the story. Some ideas were:

“Puppy spill the jar”  
“Grandma is fun”
“Mom clean up”








“Dad eats breakfast”









“Puppy eat sandwich”
Etc… Apart from the grammar mistakes (not to worry) it was interesting to listen to their guesses and imagination ;)

When they listened to the story for the first time, they had to check if their first guess was right or not, a simple task because I think a story is something to first of all to enjoy. The second time they’ve listened to the story, they had to order the words previously given. While correcting this task I asked them some questions about the story, for example: “Who spilled the jar?”, “Who made the sandwich?”, “What were the tissues for?”


Na aula passada o 3ºC ouviu uma história maravilhosa chamada "Taking care of mom" de Gina e Mercer Mayer . Antes de ouvir a história eu escrevi algumas palavras importantes da mesma no quadro: mom, dad, grandma, sick, eat breakfast, chips, get dressed, sister, spill the jar, bed, sandwich, puppy, box of tissues, toys, clean up take care. Depois de discutir o significado das palavras e expressões, através de gestos, de descrições e desenhos, os alunos tentaram adivinhar o que estava iria acontecer na história. Algumas ideias foram: “Puppy spill the jar”
“Grandma is fun”
“Mom clean up”
“Dad eats breakfast”
“Puppy eat sandwich”
etc... Tirando os erros de gramática (não muito preocupantes nesta fase) foi interessante ouvir as suas suposições e imaginação;)  Quando eles ouviram a história pela  primeira vez ,tinham que verificar  se sua primeira suposição estava certa ou não, uma tarefa simples porque eu acho que uma história é algo que antes de mais deve ser para apreciar/desfrutar. A segunda vez que ouviram a história, tinham que ordenar as palavras anteriormente dadas. Enquanto corrigia a tarefa , fui fazendo algumas questões sobre o conto, por exemplo: “Who spilled the jar?”, “Who made the sandwich?”, “What were the tissues for?”

I love this story and I think students loved it too
