Now let’s practice other habilities:
You’ll have to listen, read and make the next activities with three stories:
1. Watch the video for each story. The stories are ‘ ‘Twas a Night Before Christmas’, ‘Little Red, Riding
Hood’ and ‘Bambi’.
2. Now listen the video while you read the story. Then repeat the pronunciation of the story as the audio
goes along.
3. Now that you’ve seen the words copy the words that were the hardest to pronounce and understand.
4. Make a picture dictionary with those words and write a short definition for each word (definition is not
the same as translation).
5. Spell the word outloud.
6. Choose one story and record a video where you can read outloud. It doesn’t matter if you shutter at first,
practice and once you are ready record the video. Don’t forget to send to to your teacher!
Español (papitos, para que los niños sigan familiarizándose con el inglés no les leamos la traducción solo
guiémoslos para que entiendan mejor las instrucciones en inglés)
Ahora practiquemos otras habilidades:
Tendrás que escuchar, leer y realizar las próximas actividades con tres historias:
7. Ve el video de cada historia. Las historias son ‘ ‘Twas a Night Before Christmas’, ‘Little Red, Riding
Hood’ y ‘Bambi’.
1. Ahora escucha el video mientras lees la historia. Luego repite la pronunciación de la historia a medida
que avanza el audio.
2. Ahora que has visto que las palabras, copia las palabras que fueron más difíciles de pronunciar y
comprender.
3. Haz un diccionario de imágenes con esas palabras y escribe una definición corta para cada palabra (la
definición no es lo mismo que la traducción)
4. Deletrea las palabras en voz alta.
5. Elije una historia y graba un video donde puedas leer en voz alta. No importa tartamudeas al principio,
practica y una vez que estés listo graba el video. ¡No olvides enviarlo a tu maestra!
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:

“Now Dasher! Now Dancer!

Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
so up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

the prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
 A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes - how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

 Little Red Riding Hood
Once upon a time there was a girl called Little Red Riding Hood. She lived with her mother in a village near a
forest. One day, Little Red Riding Hood went to visit her grandmother. She took a basket of food with her. On
her way, Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf.
Hello,” said the wolf. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to visit my grandmother who lives in the forest,” explained Little Red Riding Hood
The wolf ran to Grandmother’s house. He went inside, put on a nightgown and got into her bed. A little later,
Little Red Riding Hood came to the house. She knocked on the door, then went inside. Little Red Riding Hood
went over to Grandmother’s bed.
“Oh Granny, what big ears you have,” she said.
“All the better to hear you with,” answered the wolf.
“Oh Granny, what big eyes you have,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
“All the better to see you with,” replied the wolf.
“Oh Granny, what big teeth you have,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
“All the better to eat you with,” said the wolf.
“Help!” shouted Little Red Riding Hood as she realised that there was a wolf in her grandmother’s bed.

She ran out of the house.

A woodcutter was nearby. He heard Little Red Riding Hood’s scream and ran to the house. The woodcutter hit
the wolf over the head. The wolf ran away and Little Red Riding Hood never saw him again.
 Bambi
It was beautiful spring morning baby birds were chirping, squirrels and chipmunks were eating nuts and corns
for breakfast and the bunnies were just waking up but a wonderful surprise soon had everyone rushing through
the forest!
“Wake up Friend Owl! You'd better hurry!” a bunny named Thumper called.
All the animals gathered around a mother deer to welcome the arrival of her new fawn.
"This is quite an occasion!” Friend Owl said “It isn't everyday a prince born!”
Thumper looked up at the Young Prince's mother "What you going to call him?” he asked.
“Well,” she said “I think I'll call him Bambi"
As the days passed Bambi grew stronger... but he had much to learn. Bambi and his new friends went exploring
together. Everyday was an adventure.
“Those are birds” Thumper explained as they passed a nearby tree
“Burr” Bambi repeated, trying his best to say the word
“Say ‘bird.’ Bur-duh,” Thumper said correcting him.
“Bird!“ Bambi shouted, thrilled he had learned something new.
“Bird” Bambi called again when a yellow butterfly landed on his tail.
“No, that's not a bird!” Thumper laugh. "That's a butterfly!”
Soon they passed a patch of flowers and Bambi mistook them for butterflies
“No, that's a flower!” Thumper said correcting him again.
So when a skunk rose out of the flower patch Bambi had discovered Bambi proudly said, “Flower"
Thumper laughed so hard he rolled on the ground. “No, no, no! That's not a flower! He's a little—"
“Oh, that's all right” the skunk quickly interrupted. “He can call me a flower if he wants to. I don't mind”
It didn't take long for Bambi, Thumper and Flower to become great friends.
As Bambi got older, his mother taught him new things, too. Once he was old enough, she brought him to the
meadow for the first time.
“You must never rush out on the meadow,” she warned. “There might be danger!” she wanted Bambi to be safe,
but he didn't realize just how scary a place the meadow could be.
As they explored the meadow Bambi and his mother ran into a few other deer, including a young fawn named
Faline.
Bambi was shy at first, but soon the two fawns started playing together and became the best of friends. Faline
teased Bambi and even licked his face playfully when he stumbled into a nearby pond.
But their playtime was interrupted when a loud noise startled the other deeer. They all quickly fled the meadow.
“Bambi! Bambi!” his mother called.
“Mother!” he cried “Mother!” Bambi was lost in the meadow all alone.
Another deer appeared —the biggest one of all. It was the Great Prince of the Forest. He helped Bambi escape
the meadow and let him to his mother.
“It's safe now," Bambi's mother said. "We don't have to hide any longer."
After that scary day in the meadow, life return to normal, and everything was peaceful again in the forest.
Months passed, and Bambi finally got to enjoy winter. He had never seen snow before!
Thumper brought Bambi to a frozen pond and showed him how to spin and swirl across the ice, “Come on— it's
all right!” Thumper said encouragingly.
Bambi stood at the edge for a moment before leaping onto the ice. “Yippee!” he called. But Bambi belly
flopped. The ice was very slippery.
Thumper skated over and said, “Some fun, huh, Bambi?”
Even though Bambi learned how to have fun in the winter, he hoped spring would come soon. Food was hard to
find, and he was awfully hungry.
Bambi and his mother soon discovered a small patch of grass growing through the snow. But just as they began
to eat, Bambi's mother sensed danger.
The sounds of hunting fill the air. “Bambi! Quick! The thicket!” his mother called, urging him to run to safety.
“Faster! Faster, Bambi! Don't look back. Keep running!”
Bambi heard another gunshot just as he reached his home.
“We made it! We made it, Mother!” he said. Then he realized that she wasn't there. “Mother, where are you?”
He search among the trees. He kept calling for her, but he couldn't find his mother.
Bambi was crying when the Great Prince of the Forest found him.
“Your mother can't be with you anymore” the Great Prince said softly. He explained that he would take care of
Bambi now. “Come, my son”
Bambi looked back at the ticket one last time, and then he followed his father into the forest.
Time passed quickly and soon winter was over. The forest was green again. The flowers bloomed. The birds
sang.
One day, Bambi went to visit his old friends.
“My, my—how you've changed!” said Friend Owl when he saw how Bambi and the others had grown. Friend
Owl told his young friends it was only a matter of time before they would become “twitterpated”
Bambi, Flower and Thumper looked confused, so Friend Owl explained. “You begin to get weak in the knees.
Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air!”
Bambi swore it would never happen to him.
Bambi didn't quite understand what the owl had meant until he ran into an old friend.
“Don't you remember me? I'm Faline” she said. Faline licked his face like she had as a young fawn.
Bambi felt dizzy, he felt light as a feather. He finally understood what Friend Owl had meant. Bambi and Feline
were twitterpated
But a jealous deer try to separate them. He and Bambi fought near the edge of a cliff, almost toppling over it.
Faline was scared for Bambi's safety! Eventually, Bambi won the fight, and the bad deer left them alone for
good.
Time passed, and Faline and Bambi lived happily together in the forest. Then one morning, Bambi saw smoke
rising in the distance.
The Great Prince was looking at the smoke too. He warned Bambi of this new danger. He was worried the fire
would spread quickly.
“We must go deep into the forest. Hurry!” the Great Prince called.
All the forest animals were afraid, too. Thumper, Flower and their other friends saw the rising smoke and ran to
safety.
Bambi rushed to the forest to make sure Faline was safe, too.
When he found her, Bambi saw a group of fierce hounds attacking her. They chased her up a cliff. She was
trapped! Bambi fought off the hounds to save Feline and told her to run to safety.
Exhausted from his battle with the hounds Bambi was very weak. The fire was spreading through the forest, and
Bambi couldn't get up. He tried his hardest, but he didn't think he had enough strength left to escape.
Just then his father arrived. “Get up Bambi. Get up! You must get up!”
Bambi tried and tried again.
With his father's help, Bambi got up and ran through the forest. Smoke filled the air, and the fire was chasing
them.
The Great Prince led Bambi to the river. They'd be safe there.
Faline met Bambi by the river. They watched the fire destroy the forest. The next day, when the fire was, out
the animals would all work together to rebuild their homes.
When spring came again the forest was healed, and the animals once more had some exciting news to share.
“Wake up, Friend Owl!” Thumper called.
“Oh, what now?” said the old owl as he followed the rabbit through the forest.
Bambi and Faline had new twins.
“Prince Bambi ought to be mighty proud!” Friend Owl remarked.
And he was proud. Prince Bambi was excited about life with his new family in the forest he called home.
