3. Read and Say
• Read aloud the comic strip again having pupils pay special attention to the sounds of the
words.
Have pupils read the comic strip and circle all the words that have a double e.
Have individuals come to the board and write one of the words that they circled in the comic
strip. (see, three, green, sheep, trees)
Read the four sentences aloud. Instruct pupils to fill in the missing words by choosing from
the words on the board.
Have pupils write the missing words on the lines provided. In pairs, have pupils compare
their answers with the pupil sitting next to them. (sheep, green, tree, three)
You may want to refer pupils to Let’s Practice, Exercise 3 on page 27. Play Track 9 and
have pupils circle the word they hear in each pair. (stars, cow, clouds, tree, snakes, chairs,
bear, houses, jeep, girls)
Have pupils check their work as you replay the CD, pointing out the correct answer and
reviewing the plural form with the addition of /s/.

meaning of deep in L1.

Have pupils listen to Track 8 of the CD without looking at the text. Ask them to count how
many times they hear the word see/sea. (13).
Explain the meaning of the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Have pupils sing along with the CD.
Explain the meaning of the word but in L1 by explaining that the sailor expected to see
many things (fish, whales, dolphins) but he only saw one thing (the bottom of the sea).
Play the song once more, using gestures, by having pupils put one hand over their eyes
as if looking far out into the sea like a sailor only when the word see is heard (not the word
sea).
Play the track a few times, having pupils sing along and gesture.
