Learning strategy
Becoming morphologically aware
Make pupils realize the morphological
similarity between the word family
and its equivalent in L1: family/familia.
`` Discuss the different pictures in L1.
If children have had English before,
they may identify the family roles
in English. Discuss the concept of
family. Listen to their ideas. Make
sure you make room for difference
and promote noticing that not all
the families are made up of the same
members or the same number of
people but they all look happy.

(retrieved in August 2014)
A quote from Pope Francis: In your journey
as a family, you share so many beautiful
moments: meals, rest, housework, leisure,
prayer, trips and pilgrimages, and times of
mutual support Nevertheless, if there is
no love then there is no joy, and authentic
love comes to us from Jesus. He offers us
His word, which illuminates our path; He
gives us the Bread of life which sustains us
on our journey.

`` Play the track again and ask what words they recognize
probably Hi or Hello.
Learning strategy
This attention to the known elements and the
identification of features of the context trains their ear
to search for known information. If pupils know some
of the vocabulary from previous years, they should
identify a couple more words.
`` Have pupils open their books again and invite them to
listen and read.

`` Ask pupils (in L1) why the girl is angry. Accept several
possible answers that will reflect their own experiences
at home, thus allowing for reflection on emotions. After
ticking the right word, pupils repeat the words aloud.
Ask them to exaggerate the a in angry as if they were
a lion. Also, tell them to produce the smiling \\ for
happy.

Lesson 2
`` Before they listen, make them read the words aloud and
check they remember their meaning. You can do it as a
pointing or touching game with the words/pictures in
the book. You can hold it up and point. Then play track
13 for pupils to do the activity.

`` Read out the names. Ask pupils to read out the names,
one by one in order. Help them remember. Point out
similarities, for example the th sound in this and brother,
the vowel sound in brother and mum, etc. Make it
playful. Pupils write the names on the correct line. Check.
TIP
For new tasks, ask for volunteers first; those who are shy
may feel intimidated if you insist and might shut off just
out of fear. After one or two volunteers, call on others. Walk
near them and let them talk into your ear if they do not
want to speak publicly yet.

Lesson 4
Learning strategy
Getting rhythm in English
Ask pupils to say what the important words are. They
will probably say Maggie and tall. They should read with
only two stresses Maggie and tall the second stress is
stronger and is will not be stressed at all. You can model
one for them. Try to avoid their struggling to read word
by word. Tell them that in English we stress only the
important words.
You can:
a. Write out the sentences on the board and underline
the stressed word.

Before listening
`` Have pupils look at the pictures and ask them to
describe them in L1. Play track 14 once and have pupils
point. Play the track a second time. Pupils listen and
repeat. Make sure they pronounce the words correctly.
After listening
`` Check comprehension. Ask pupils to show you
something old, big, etc. Draw the same object in
different sizes. Then draw their attention to the people
in the activity. Ask, Is number 1 young? Is number 4 old?
The required answer would be just Yes/No at this stage.

TIP
If by any chance, pupils ask about the form isnt they may
have learned previously, make sure they understand isnt
is the same as is not. Even if we do not use abbreviation of
is not in this book, it is good to show them how, when a
letter disappears in a word, a sign of some kind appears in
its place. As is the case in mhijo for mi hijo or pami for para
m. Also, in the case of de acuerdo/daccord/daccordo, we
can appreciate this across languages.

If you notice pupils are not that sure about the words they
have to use to fill in the blanks, they can write them on the

the context in which they appear.

`` They act out the story including the picture in Activity
2 several times. Then they can create their own story
based on helping people, eg: someone falls down,
another one cant close the window because it is too
high, etc. Pupils can also draw any situation chosen a
sketch will do and record the new dialogue in writing.
Make sure the new language is later used in class. You can
make a kind of glossary with the expressions and words
like: Help me, please; Be careful! Pick up, etc and add
them to your daily class vocabulary.
