Teaching procedures T: Do you love reading stories? Ss: Yes. T: Today we are gonna read a story together, ok? Ss: Ok.

Step1 Before reading T: This is our old friend. Do you remember her?

Ss: Yes, she is Zip. T: And who is he? What’s he like? Is he young or old? And he has white beard and eyebrows. Ss: He is very old. He’s Zip’s grandpa. T: You guess right. And Zip’s grandpa will tell Zip a story. And in the story there is another squirrel called Zac (Ss try to blend the name).

Step2 While reading T: Let’s listen to the very beginning of the story and tell me what information did you get? Ss: Zac lives in the forest; Zac likes singing and dancing. T: Yes. Let’s read together. Ss: ...

T: Apart from Zac, there is also a king living in the forest. Who may be the big King? Ss: Maybe ____ is the big king. T: Good guess. The monkey is the king. And whose forest is it?

Ss: It is the king’s forest. T: Because of it, the squirrels have to do something for the king everyday. What do they have to do?

Ss: They have to ____. T: Look at this picture. They have to? Ss: Give fruits to the king. T: Yes, these are just the gifts for the king. Why they give gifts to the king? Ss: Because then they can get food from his forest. T: What kind of food? Ss: Pine cones. T: Now please look at the picture, what will the squirrels say? Ss: ... T: How about the king?

Ss: ... T: Look at his face, he is not so happy and does not want to see the squirrels. So ... Ss: ... (Act it out)

T: Zac wants to make the king happy and get more food. So sometimes he does other things. Can you try to make a guess? Ss: ... T: But does the king like the music? Ss: No.

T: Why? Please find out the details to support your idea. Ss: First, the king is very angry. Second, the king likes reading books. T: Good explanation. And so here is a tip for you: Picutures help you read. Yes, when we read, we need a quiet place but Zac’s music is too noisy. So he doesn’t like. T: So what will the king say? Ss: ... T: Zac looks so excited. How about him? Ss: ... (Act it out)

T: However, Zac likes singing so much so one day, he sang for the king again. How did the king feel? Ss: ... T: He felt very angry. What did he shout? Ss: Go away! T: Yes, he may also say : Leave me alone! Who can try? Ss: ... T: And then what did he do? Ss: ... T: He threw Zac out of the tree. What would happen to Zac?

Let’s discuss in a group of 4. Ss: ... T: You’ve got great imagination. Let’s see what really happened to Zac. Look, was Zac sad? Ss: No. T: And he was so happy. Because there’s something happened to his tail. What happened? Ss: It was bushy. T: What’s the meaning? I may give you a clue. Look at these two tails. Can you tell the difference? Ss: ... T: I have two dogs with different fur. Which dog’s fur is bushy? Ss: The left dog. T: Yes, you got it. Zac likes his new tail. How about the other squirrels? Ss: They all liked his tails. T: Because the sentence here says: so did all the other squirrels that means the other squirrels liked Zac’s new tail? T: And did they want to have the same tail as Zac? Ss: Yes. T: So from that day on, all the squirrels tails were _____.

Ss: Bushy.

T: Why the squirrels like their bushy tails?

Ss: ... T: I’ll show you three things the tails can do.

Step3 After reading T: The story is finished. Do you like the story? Please discuss in your group and share your ideas. You may share like this: I think it is (not) a great story, because... Ss: ... T: That’s your idea. How about Zac? Let’s read picture 6 together. Ss: ... Ss: Zac thinks it is a great story. T: Really? Ss: No, he asks: Is it true? T: Yes, he is puzzled. Is it a true story? Ss: No. T: No, it is just a fairy tale. Do you like fairy tales? Ss: Yes/No, beause... T: Yes, different people have different ideas. Let’s look at Grandpa. He is laughing in his beard. T: Now let’s listen to our whole story and read along.

Ss: ... T: After reading, I think we may act out the story. First, I am Grandpa and who can help me to act the story out. Ss: ... T: Ok. You may have sometime to practice.
