Teaching Procedure
I. Warm - up & Story Recall (7 mins)
Daily Question
Ask students: “From yesterday’s play, what’s one key scene you remember? What happened? ”
Let 3 - 4 students share, e.g., “Scene Three: Hansel drops stones to find the way home.”
Lead - in to 3a
Say: “Today we’ll extract key words from each scene to summarize ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and practice grammar.”
II. 3a Activity – Key Word Extraction (10 mins)
Instruction
Show 3a scenes (1 - 7). Tell students: “Write 2 - 3 key words per scene (e.g., Scene 1: plan, kill). Then discuss with your partner: Why are these words important?”.
Student Activity
Students list key words (e.g., Scene 2: bread, forest; Scene 3: stones, path).
Pair up to discuss. Walk around to ask: “Why is ‘stones’ key in Scene 3? Because they show the way.”
III. 3b Activity – Play Summary Completion (12 mins)
Instruction
Present 3b summary blanks. Tell students: “Use 3a key words and the play to fill in the summary. Focus on simple past tense (e.g., ‘planned’, ‘saved’).”
Student Activity
Students complete 3b individually. Then, pair - check: “Does ‘stepmother planned to kill’ match Scene 1?”.
Check answers:
stepmother; kill; save; stones; forest; dropped; moon; bread; birds; lost; house; eat; woman
IV. Self Check Activities – Grammar Practice (13 mins)
Self Check 1 Instruction & Activity
Explain: “Complete sentences with your own ideas, using conjunctions (unless, as soon as, so... that).”
Example: “We will be late unless we run.”
Students write and share in pairs. Walk around to praise: “Good use of ‘so... that’: The movie was so touching that I cried.”
Self Check 2 Instruction & Activity
Show: “Fill in blanks with correct verb forms (past tense).” Remind: “Once upon a time... use past tense (was, loved, came...).”
Students complete and check. Walk around to correct: “‘They were bad people’ – past tense of ‘be’ is ‘were’.”
V. Summary & Homework (5 mins)
Summary
Recap key points:
Extracting story key words for summarization.
Using past tense in summaries and grammar tasks.
Applying conjunctions for logical sentences.
Write on the board:
Grammar Highlights:
