• Main idea: Ask pupils if the story is ‘all about’ the teacher being cross ( No. This is only mentioned at the end .) Is it about Jaydon, looking after his books? ( No. That is only mentioned in one line .) The whole story is about Martin jumping in puddles, so the answer is ‘b’. • Speaking and listening : CR Allow pupils to use Creole in pair and group work.
