• Next, ask students questions about the plot,
setting, characters in the story, and what they
think is happening: They are in front of the

native language as necessary and provide
support when needed to the students. Ask few
questions, such as “Where are they?” “What are
they doing?” etc.
• Finally, explain to the students that they will now
listen to the story, and that they should read
