Group assignment of Grmmar-Translation Method

1. Think of a particular group of students you have recently taught or are currently teaching.
Choose a reading passage from a literary work or a textbook or write one yourself. Make
sure it is at a level your students can understand, yet not at a level that would be too
simple for them. Try translating it yourself as a test of its difficulty. Identify the
vocabulary you would choose to work on. Plan vocabulary exercises you would use to
help your students associate the new words with their native language equivalents.

Answer :

The reading passage :

The Baby Bear

The bear followed his mama. Mama bear walked through the woods. She was looking for berries
to eat. She found some black berries. She started eating them. They ate all the berries. Baby bear
was full. Mama bear was still hungry. She started walking again. She wanted to find more berries
to eat. Baby bear lay down. He was full. He wanted to take a nap. But mama bear came back.
She growled at baby bear. He understood mama’s growl when mama growled, he obeyed. He got
up and followed his mama. Someday he would take a nap after a meal. A squirrel ran up a tree
with a nut. It dropped the nut and ran back down to the ground. It picked up the nut and looked at
baby bear. Then it ran back up the tree. Baby bear did not like nuts. They were too hard to open.

The translatation :

Bayi Beruang

Beruang itu mengikuti ibunya. Beruang mama berjalan melewati hutan. Dia sedang mencari
buah beri untuk dimakan. Dia menemukan beberapa buah beri hitam. Dia mulai
memakannya. Mereka memakan semua buah beri. Bayi beruang sudah kenyang. Mama
beruang masih lapar. Dia mulai berjalan lagi. Dia ingin mencari lebih banyak beri untuk
dimakan. Bayi beruang berbaring. Dia kenyang. Dia ingin tidur siang. Tapi mama beruang
kembali. Dia menggeram pada bayi beruang. Dia mengerti geraman mama saat mama
menggeram, dia menurut. Dia bangkit dan mengikuti ibunya. Suatu hari nanti dia akan tidur
siang setelah makan. Seekor tupai berlari ke atas pohon dengan kacang. Ia menjatuhkan mur
dan berlari kembali ke tanah. Ia mengambil mur dan melihat bayi beruang. Kemudian ia
 berlari kembali ke atas pohon. Bayi beruang tidak suka kacang. Kacang terlalu sulit untuk
dibuka.
