T tells Ss since you have read it, can you name one character in it?Have you heard of this title? Have you read it? ( Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.) - Tom, if you have read it, can you name one character from it? ( There were many animal characters.) - If you haven’t read it, what kind of story do you think this will be? ( I think it is about a man, Aesop.) - Do you know what “fable” means? ( Fable is a short story with animal characters. A fable has some message for readers.)
-T shows flash cards and tries to elicit meaning by asking critical thinking questions as: Do you think the baby is standing or lying? - T does drilling for several times and makes sure the meaning is completely understood by Ss.
T gives Ss handouts and asks them to do it in groups. Then T provides Ss answer key to correct or T does it with Ss if time permits.
T devides Ss into groups and hands them pictures of the story. Ss retells the sory using their own words. T listens and take notes.
