Ask:
What did we learn to do in the last part? (how to
find clues)
What clues did we find out? (Have students explain
what they remember.)
Have the students look at the Let’s Remember points in
their book.
Say:
Let’s read the sentences and see what we
remember.
Curriculum:
AI: Students will understand the
general meaning, main ideas, and
sequence of events in the text and use
this knowledge as needed.
AI: Students will identify different text
types and use this knowledge as
needed.
AI: Students will locate relevant
information for a specific purpose.
AI: Students will extract information
from visual data such as a timetable
Read the sentences, one at a time and ask:
Do we know who is stealing bikes? (no)
Whose bike was stolen on Tuesday? (Sharon’s and Dana’s)
Whose bike was stolen on Wednesday? (Alex’s)
Do you think it is important that we know all the
bikes are green? (Accept all logical answers.)
Curriculum:
Why do you think the bikes that are being stolen
AI: Students will use simple
are green? (Let students predict.)
information tools such as a glossary, a
simplified learner’s dictionary, and a
table of contents.
Vocabulary
NEW WORDS
don’t worry
fan
game
late
seat belt
traffic jam
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.
