Lesson 61.Uncle Bookys storytimeStudent Book page 24 Tell the children that they are going to listen to a story. Play the tape, ask the children to listen to the story with their books closed. Have the children open their books, and look at the pictures. Ask them to look for familiar words in the story. Have children read the story silently, encourage them to try to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. It doesnt matter if they dont know the words. The requirement for this part is to understand the story.2.Snap!Snap is best played in pairs. Always be sure that one child in each pair is familiar with the vocabularyHave the children take out their cards for Unit 7 and Unit 8.Put the children in pairs and have each pair mix their cards together and then spread them face down on a table.The children in each pair take turns to flip over the cards, one by one, so that they are facing up. As soon as they see two cards with identical pictures on them, they must call out“Snap!” and say the correct English word for the picture, for example, “Snap! Kite.” when two cards with pictures of kites appear. The first child to call out “Snap!”and the correct word keeps the two matching cards. The children continue playing until there are no cards left on the table. The winner is the child with the most cards at the end of the game.If a child calls “Snap!” by mistake, for example when two cards do not match, or when he or she says an incorrect word, the game turns on to the next player.Note: In later Units this game can also be used for matching written words and pictures.3.Flashcard gamesA. Divide the class into two teams. Put all the flashcards face down on a table between the teams. (Use the flashcards for Units through 8.) Have a child in Team A pick up a card and show it to Team B. (Thechildren should take turns picking up the cards.) The child should ask, “Are these (dolls)?/Is this a (train)?” or “Whats this?/What are these?” Together, Team B must answer “Theyre (dolls).” or “Its a (train).” Points are scored for every correct question and correct answer. B. Children will need their flashcards provided for earlier Units. Spread all the flashcards face up on the table. Have the children either sit or stand around the table, close enough to be able to reach and touch the flashcards. Explain to the children that they are going to play a game where you will call out an English word. The first child to put their hand on the matching flashcard wins that card. The game finishes when there are no flashcards left on the table. The winner is the child who has collected the most cards.4.BingoUse this game to review the core vocabulary. See Unit 7, page 24, for the rules and procedure.5.Self-assessmentStudent Book page 25 In the first activity, have the children work in pairs. Tell them to take turns asking and answering questions about the pictures. Before that the teacher should provide a model using the pictures or children in the class.In the second activity, have the children talk about the pictures first. Then read out the sentences. Tell them to check the correct words to finish the sentence.6.My notes and teachers notesStudent Book page 25 This activity is to help children have a look at what they have done in this Unit. Ask them to assess themselves according to the items in My Notes individually. Explain to them that the stars here only indicate how well they have done in their learning and the stars should not be changed to scores. The teacher should evaluate the children positively in the part of Teachers Notes. The purpose is to have children realize that they are making progress and to help them build a sense of achievement and confidence. Stickers provided at the end of the Teachers Resource Book can be used here.7.Set homeworkStudent Book page 24 Tell the children that you want them to read the story in Uncle Bookys Storytime with their parents at home.
