Before Reading:
NEW WORDS
belong to
cut a hole
take back
try
unusual
Present the new words on the board. Either use the flashcards or write the
words. Present each word and use it in a sentence. Then ask the students if
they know what the word means. Allow guessing and finally give the right
explanation.
Vocabulary reinforcement
Have the students go over the text and find the words they just learned. Ask
them to read the sentences where they found the words. If there are still
unclear words, explain them.
Have the students copy the words into their notebooks and write their definitions.
For weaker students: Have them copy the sentence with the new word into their notebooks, next
to the definition they wrote. This will help them remember the context as well.
For more ideas, go to pages vi and vii in the Yellow Pages section
Reading:
Have the students read the comic strip silently first and then read one frame at a time.
