Vocabulary
Before going on to exercise 1, focus on the Vocabulary Ruler
on page 129.
If you have access to the digital format, go to the
Vocabulizer online (www.eadventure.co.il/LFO/vocab) and
have the students work there. If not, teach the vocabulary
from the book.
AI: Students use information tools
such as a glossary, a simplified
learner’s dictionary, online
dictionary, table of contents,
guided search engines, simplified
E-books, YouTube videos.
Make sure the students are familiar with the words in the Words I Know (bathroom, box,
crocodile, cup, head, hips, neck, shoulders, toes, turtle,).
Read them and have the students explain/show you what the words mean. Do at least one
review activity. For ideas, go to page v, Teaching Vocabulary.
Teach the new vocabulary words from New Words (always, sea, sometimes, storm, tail,
wood). Reinforce these new words via at least one or two activities.
For more ideas on how to work on vocabulary, go to page v, Teaching Vocabulary.
Pre-Reading
1. Let’s Talk and Write!
HOTS: PREDICT
Have the students read and answer the questions with
a partner. Once they’ve agreed upon a joint answer,
they should write that answer in their notebooks.
Read the questions with the students and draw a
word-map of their responses. See how many of the
students gave similar answers.
SI: Students interact for a limited range
of purposes, such as following basic
instructions and directions, asking for
and giving information, making and
fulfilling simple requests.
2. Let’s Read!
Go to www.eadventure.co.il/LFO to play this text.
Have the students read Part 1 of the story quietly.
Basic Understanding
Then read it to them or with them and ask:
• What do Kirstie and Angus always find after a storm?
(many things – seaweed, starfish, jellyfish, shells, etc.)
• Where do they put the things they find? (they put them
in the sack)

ALC: Students identify and
describe events, setting and
main characters in literary
texts, using lower-order
thinking skills.
