Lesson
elicit the event that ends the story. Next, explain that the sentences between the beginning and the end describe the events that happened in the middle. Finally, ask: Who do you think is telling the story? (any of the two girls or the younger boy, because they are talking about the older boy in third person). 2. Listen and order an alternative story for the picture in the previous activity. 6 Explain to students that they will listen to another version of the same story. Play Track 6 for them to identify who is telling the story this time (the older boy). Then, play the track again for them to order the sentences. Check orally and have them notice that the sentence that begins the story is number 1 and the one that ends it is number 4. 3. Compare the beginnings and endings of both stories. Read instructions aloud and have them identify the sentence that begins the story in Activity 1, ask: What is it describing? (the time and place). Then, ask: And in the second story? (it tells the time and an activity). Tell them to write the answers in the graphic organizer and do the same with the sentences that end both stories. Finally, have the class compare the ways in which the two stories begin and end, and ask them: Which of the two did you like the most? Differentiated Instruction Activity 1: Use the Choral Response Strategy when you ask for the answers to encourage shy students to participate.

Ask students: Can you tell a story based on a picture? As this is a yes/no question, at this point you may accept gestures as answers. 1. Look at the picture, read the story, and share with your class who you think is telling the story. Draw students’ attention to the picture and ask: Who is in the picture? (four kids). Where are they? (in a park). What are they doing? (playing football). Ask volunteers to read the story aloud.
