5. Tell your story to another partner. Use the checklist to assess each other.
4 Rehearse with a partner saying the story you wrote in Activity 3.
Organize the class into pairs again, making sure students don’t work with the same classmates they worked in the previous activities of this lesson. Encourage them to narrate their story using the strategies provided in the Learning to Learn section. When all students have finished, guide them to use the checklist provided to assess their partners. Read each of the questions aloud and elicit answers from different pairs, paying special attention to the comments they may give to improve. Discuss the question related to the text from the Reader. Tell students to mention what Hansel thinks about photos (he will never get bored looking at them), and what Gretel says about memories (they will be forever in their albums). Ask students if they like taking photos and where they or their families keep them (in an album or online). Product: Story Based on a Picture As you may recall, students will tell a story based on a picture. In this lesson, students will practice saying their story to one classmate. Organize the class into pairs and read the instructions aloud. Tell them that they can record a video of their partner while he/ she is telling his/her story. If that is not possible, they may take pictures. Have pairs work while you monitor walking around. When all pairs have finished practicing, suggest that they use the checklist from Activity 5 to give feedback to their partners. This activity will be your fourth evidence in this unit; ask students to file it following the procedure you prefer; if your portfolio is a physical file you may include the written story and some pictures; if it is online in digital form, you may include the videos. Self-evaluation Read the questions aloud to make sure students know what each of them refers to. Tell them to review the activities they performed in this lesson to answer and identify their areas of opportunity. Finally, encourage them to suggest ways in which they may improve. How can you interest others in your stories? Ask the question and encourage students to share the strategies they used during this lesson. Differentiated Instruction Activity 5: Use the Group Based on Goals Strategy allowing struggling students to read their stories instead of memorizing them.
