D HOW DOES A TEACHER PLAN


AND PREPARE THE LESSONS?
The course consists of 6 UNITS 29
Lessons . There
are also 6 SUM UP (revision) sections .
Plus some
additional material to be used at Bayram,
Christmas, New Year, Easter, Hanukkah and

It contains individual tasks designed mainly


as follow-up activities, such as: colouring,
drawing, matching words with pictures, filling in
sentences, doing puzzles, cutting out pictures
and words, finding words in word searches, etc.

3 THE CASSETTE
Dialogues, songs, rhymes from the Pupils
Book are recorded on the cassette. It is an
important auditory aid which can be used for
practising the sound system, stress and intonation
of the language. It can also be played whenever
children are doing some individual quiet work. They
will unconsciously start repeating what they hear
on the tape or sing along.

4 FLASHCARDS
The set of flashcards is an essential teaching
aid. It covers basic vocabulary and characters
from the Pupils Book. It is to be used for
vocabulary introduction and practice as well as for
a number of games.

5 THE TEACHER?S BOOK


It is designed to help the teacher make the
most of the course. There is a step-by-step
approach to each of the lessons plus a number of
additional ideas on how to practise and reinforce
the language that is being taught.

STARTING UP
ENGLISH IS EASY

This short introductory unit is designed to revise some of the language material
introduced in the previous grade and to introduce a few simple songs and
rhymes that can get the children started into the second year of learning
English.
The following language items are present in this unit:
? introductory song (English is easy)
? the English alphabet
? alphabet rhyme (A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
? revision of commands and vocabulary from grade 1
? action rhyme (Run to the house)

The unit ends with the first revision section SUM UP 1 which is a BINGO game
this time.

Then ask them to do
Task 2 where they
need to
use the words from
Task 1 to complete
the lines of
the song. Do it with the whole class because it
is the beginning of the school year. Encourage
several children to read the lines afterwards while
the others are colouring the pictures. Play the song
over and over again.

Step 3
GRADE 1

Ask the children to look at the picture in the


Pupil's
Book, Task 4
It's your turn!
Put them in groups of 4 and ask them to name
in English as many pictures as they can. They can
circle with a pencil all the pictures they do not
remember the words for.

Mix the commands.


STAND UP! HOLD UP YOUR
HANDS! CLAP THEM TWICE!
SIT DOWN! FEET UP! FEET DOWN!
STAND ON YOUR FEET! RUN!
Repeat this a few times but each time move
more quickly from one command to another.
6 Tell the children that they are going to listen
to the tape and they have to perform the actions they
hear.
Play the spoken version of the song and
let the children do what they can understand.
Play it one more time and they try to mime
some actions again.
7 Get them to look in the Pupil's Book, Task
1. Play the tape, they just listen and look in the book.
Next, they listen and mime. Finally, they repeat the
lines and mime.

Play the song a few times and let them sing


along.

REVISING VOCABULARY FROM

Get all the groups to tell you how many
words they do not know. The group with the lowest

gets to describe the picture.


Each child in the group can say 3 words.The
class listens and points to the pictures.
When the first group is finished ask if anyone
knows the words for any other pictures.
Soon only problematic pictures will be left.

Get them to call out words in the mother tongue and


you say them in English. There is, of course, a
possibility that the children will remember all the
words.

Play a pointing game.


Say the
words and they point to the pictures.

Step 1

LEARNING A RHYME

1 Revise most of the commands the children


know. Play the POLLY SAYS (SIMON SAYS) game.

Add some more commands to the game: SAY


HELLO! / SAY GOODBYE! / SMILE! / GO AWAY!
Introduce one command at a time and mix it
with the ones they know. Always perform the
command yourself at the beginning.

2 Write the following letters on the


board: A B C D
Get the children to read them in the mother
tongue.
Now tell them that English is a very funny
language because all the letters have 'names'.
Tell them to listen carefully to the names
of the letters on the board. Say the letters.
Ask them to repeat the letters after you.

Add three more letters:

the tape again, they just listen and look in the


book.
10
Finally, ask them to repeat after the tape in
chorus,
then smaller groups, and then individually.
11 Ask them to copy the first part of the rhyme in
their
notebooks. They can draw the picture as well.

Step 2

Find out if the children can name all the


letters in the alphabet of their mother tongue. Get
them to

tell you how many letters there are all


together.
2
Ask them to look in the Pupil's Book,
Task 3.
Let them count the letters of the English
alphabet. Next, ask them if they can see any special
English letters. Get them to say these letters after you:
QWXY

Play the tape and ask them to listen to the


'names' of all English letters.
4 Play the tape again. This time they need to
point to the letters and repeat after the tape.
5
Ask groups of children to repeat after
you, or after the tape, groups of letters (34 letters).
6 Tell them to look in the Activity Book,
Task 1. Read the letters one by one and they
colour the letter which has been read.

EFG
Do the same as with the previous group of
letters.
4 Ask the whole class to repeat the seven letters
after you. Then ask groups of children to do the same.
Find out which letter sounds very funny to
them.
5 Tell them you are going to try something else
now. You are going to read the group of letters on the
board forwards and backwards. Read:
ABCDEFG
GFEDCBA
Point to the letters on the board and read
forwards and backwards a few times with the class

reading

after you.

7 Say the lines of the rhyme once, miming the


actions as well. The class can just listen.
ABCDEFG
say HELLO and smile with me! G F E D C B A
say GOODBYE and go away!
8 Play the tape and ask the children to mime
the rhyme.

12

INTRODUCING THE ALPHABET

If you like you can turn it into a colouring


dictation. You say the colour they have to use for
each of the letters. If you decide to do this, here is
a little tip: make them colour all the vowels BLUE,
all special English letters RED, all letters sounding
similar in one colour too. For example, B, C, D, G,
P, T, V are GREEN; F, L, M, N, S are YELLOW.

When the colouring is completed, read the


letters in one colour and ask them to guess why
they all share the same colour.

Now ask them to write each of the letters


three times using handwriting. Draw their attention
to how some of the special letters are written.

8 Play BINGO

now. The instructions are

given in the
Pupil's Book, Task 4 It's your turn.
The children will probably want a few rounds
of the game, which is welcome. It is a good idea to
write the whole alphabet on the board before the
game, so when you say a letter you can also point
to it on the board. The children cannot play the
game otherwise, bacause they have certainly not
yet memorised the letters.

9 Now tell the children you need their help.

Ask them to try and concentrate and to say a word

KITE starts with K and CAT with C although


they both sound the same. Explain that that is

something easy like:

why even English children need a lot of time to


learn to write the words.

B (they will probably remember BOY,


BED) Do the same with some more
letters like:

P. T, M, S, R, D
Praise them a lot for every word they
remember.
10 Ask them to look at the pictures in the
Activity
Book, Task 2. They try to say what they
can see.
Then get them to decide which letter each of
the words begins with. They can write the first

11 Now they can colour the pictures, cut them


out and
stick them next to the right letter in the
alphabet.
A NOTE:
The alphabet is introduced here just to make
the children aware of some of the problems and
differences between English and their mother
tongue. The children are not to be expected to
spell or do any similar activities. It is much too
early for that.

Lesson 3

Have the class read the words in chorus


and then

Language focus: run / open / touch / climb / reach

WHERE DOES IT SAY 'KUA'? They have to


point to and read the word.

Step 1

REVISING THE ALPHABET

Revise the rhyme from the previous


lesson. (A, B, C, D, E, F, G say HELLO and )
Play the tape once and let the children repeat
after it. Then say the rhyme yourself but leave out
certain letters or words so the children can say
them. Here is an example:

A. B, ____ , D, E, ______ , G
Say ____________ and smile with _______ !
G. F, E, ______ , C, B, __________
Say ____________ and go ___________ !
You can do this a few times, always leaving out
different bits. The children can follow the text of the
rhyme in the book. This will make it easier for them
to guess the missing bits.

Revise the whole alphabet. They can look at it


in the book and say the letters after you.
Then get them to read the letters after you
from the Activity Book. This time you read the
letters in groups of three and they repeat after
you. They should always point to the letters they
say. In the final round ask them to read after you
even bigger groups of letters.

Write the following letters on the board:Step 2

letter. Here are the words you use:
DOOR SKY CAT HOUSE DOG FLOOR TREE

Write each word under the right letter each

What letter is this? Can you guess?


(selecting a
letter from a pile and writing it on the friends

BINGO
There are
12 cards for BINGO in the
Pupil's Book.
This enables the game to be played a number
of times. The children select a card and the
teacher calls out words or letters. The first child
(children) to cross out all the boxes on the card is
the winner. The winner has to say back the words
or letters on his/her card so the teacher can check
if the game was played properly.

To make the game as efficient as possible, it is


a good idea for the teacher to have all the words
and letters written on a piece of paper so there
could be no mistakes or doubts.

The techer crosses out the word or letter


that has been called out.
Here is the actual list of words and letters
from the game (all 12 cards included).
TREE, CAT, SKY, BOY, DESK, HOUSE, CHAIR,
DOG,
GIRL, STAR, DOOR, BOOK, BAG, FLOOR, SUN

there will be problems

Of course,
with
remembering the letters. To help the children, the
teacher can

make cards with the letters.


So
when a letter
comes up during the game, the teacher can
show the card with it as well as pronounce it.
The same cards can be used to play Bingo with
the
letters only
ALPHABET BINGO.
You can also encourage the children to make
their own cards with letters and then you can
play a number of games such as:

a desk, two children turning over the cards)

UNIT
1
THE CLICKS
Unit 1 introduces the main characters. They are the Clicks, an English family.
The members of the family are: Tracy, a funny girl, her brother Pete who is very
clever, their mum Greta who is a vet and their dad Mick who is a photographer.

The unit consists of 6 lessons. In Lessons 1 and 2 we meet the Clicks and learn
something about them. In Lesson 3 we meet Suzy, a little girl who is new in the
neighbourhood. We also learn something about her family in Lesson 4. Lesson 5
introduces Monica, Tracy's best friend, and finally in Lesson 6 we find out that the
Clicks are going on a trip to Africa because Mick, the father, has got a new job there.

The following language items are introduced in this unit:


? present form of 'to be': I'm a pupil. / My mum is a vet.
? personal pronouns: I / he / she / it
? question words: what / who / where
? some adjectives (funny / nice / clever / tall / short / pretty)
? some verbs (sing / swim / laugh / play / ride a bike / go to school)
? some songs

The unit ends with a revision section SUM UP 2 which includes a board game in
the Pupil's Book plus a number of tasks in the Activity Book.

CLICK.

Now get the class to say after you the name and

the

surname of each character. You point at the


pictures and say: TRACY CLICK, LUKE CLICK, GRETA
CLICK,

Step 1

INTRODUCING THE CHARACTERS

MICK CLICK and KIKI CLICK!?

Prepare the picturecards for the Click family:


Tracy, Luke, Greta, Mick and Kiki.
Stick them on the board one by one saying:
THIS IS TRACY. THIS IS LUKE. THIS IS GRETA
AND THIS IS MICK.
Leave out Kiki for the time being.
2 Say the names of the characters again but
this time write them underneath the pictures.
The children read the names after you.
3 Put all the pictures together in a big circle and
say: A FAMILY
THIS IS A FAMILY:
MUMMY (point at Greta)
DADDY (point at Mick)
and CHILDREN (point at Tracy and Luke).
HOW MANY CHILDREN? TWO. A BOY
AND A GIRL. BROTHER AND SISTER.
4 Repeat this once again but write the words
(FAMILY, MUMMY, DADDY, CHILDREN) on the board. The
children read the words after you.
5 Tell the children that there is someone else
in this family; an animal. Let them guess what it is. Then
stick the picture of Kiki and say: THIS IS KIKI, THE CAT.

Ask two children to come to the board


and say: POINT TO A BOY! POINT TO A GIRL!
POINT TO A CAT! POINT TO DADDY!
POINT
TO
MUMMY!
POINT
TO
CHILDREN! POINT TO A FAMILY!

YES, OF COURSE IT IS KIKI CLICK.

Now you just point to pictures and say:


NAME: (the class says the name of the
character)
SURNAME:
(the class says the surname
of the
character)

Step 2

LISTENING TO THE TAPE

The children look at the text and read the sentences.

Everyone closes the book now. Play the tape


again, pausing at certain places, and get the the children
to say what comes next. Make sure it is a
word that is easy to guess.
Here are some examples:
MY NAME IS TRACY. MY SURNAME IS _________
. MY NAME IS LUKE. MY SURNAME IS CLICK TOO.
TRACY IS MY _________ .
MY NAME IS GRETA. TRACY AND LUKE ARE MY

After the children have said the word,
continue playing the tape so they can check if they

Write the names of the characters on the


board.
Tell everyone to take a piece of paper and
copy one
name on it.
Next tell them to listen to your sentences
again. Each child is now the character whose name
he/she has written on the paper. Ask everyone to say
what their name is now.

Say a sentence. Only some children repeat it


the ones for whom it is TRUE.They have to hold up their

name too.

WHAT'S HIS SURNAME?


The important thing about questions like
these is to work on children's comprehension.

Start with something easy:

Tell the children that you are going to speak


for one
of the characters now. Ask them to
listen
and guess
who it is. Say:
MY SURNAME IS CLICK.
I'M A GIRL.
I'M NOT A BOY. (move your index finger
sideways to show the negative meaning)
I'M LUKE'S SISTER.
I'M NINE. (Show the number with your
fingers.)

20

I'M

NOT A GIRL.

I'M A GIRL. (All Tracys repeat.)


I'M A BOY. (All Lukes repeat.)
I'M A CAT. (All Kikis repeat.)
Move on to other sentences like:
I'M LUKE'S SISTER. / I'M TRACY'S MOTHER. /
I'M TRACY'S FATHER. / I'M TRACY'S BROTHER. / I'M
NINE. / I'M EIGHT.

Use some negative sentences now. This time


several characters can actually repeat the sentences,
like for example:

Unit
1

Im a
pupil
I'M NOT A BOY. (Everyone but Lukes
repeats.) I'M NOT A GIRL.
I'M NOT A CAT.
I'M NOT SEVEN. I'M

Now ask about Luke's room. Again ask CAN

2 Play the tape for the first time. The children
listen and look in the book.

I'M I'M NOT


Ask the class to say what they mean.
Tell the children that now they are no longer
one of the characters but their own selves.
Then ask three girls to come to the board.
Say and write a word and they have to
make a sentence with it.
A GIRL They should point to I'M and say
I'M A GIRL.
A BOY They point to I'M NOT and say I'M
NOT A BOY.
A CAT

With the numbers the children could point to


either of them depending on their age.

3 Play the tape again and get them to read after
it.

TRANSLATORS.
Stop after each sentence. Ask someone to
read it and then someone else to translate it.
Praise them a lot and help as much as
needed.
5 Ask the girls to prepare reading Tracy's lines
and the boys Luke's.
Then ask several pairs to read the text.
The whole class can do Task 3 in the Pupil's
Book.

7 Now ask them to look in the Activity Book.


They

Ask the class to look in the Pupil's Book,


Task 1. There are pictures of two rooms there.
Have them say what they can see in the
pictures. First talk about Tracy's room. Help by
asking questions:

CAN YOU SEE A WINDOW?


CAN YOU SEE A GIRL?
CAN YOU SEE A TV? (A TV and A POSTER are
easy to understand, but explain
them anyway.)
CAN YOU SEE A POSTER?
CAN YOU SEE A BAG?
CAN YOU SEE ANY BOOKS?

Ask the children to look at the texts in the


book once again. Tell them to circle all the sentences that
are true for them as well. Ask some childrenThi
to read these sentences.

A similar task is in the Activity Book (Task


3). This time they need to cut out the sentences and stick
them in the YES or NO box. Walk around
while the children are doing it and ask individual
children to read the sentences from the boxes.

Finally, play the STAND UP SIT DOWN


game.

Unit 1

The teacher says a sentence and the children

You can make a lot of sentences and revise


some of the vocabulary. For example you can combine

all the feelings with I'M and all food with I LIKE.

Here are some sentences you can use:


I'M A CAT. / I'M A PUPIL. / I'M SEVEN. / I'M
A TEACHER. / I'M AT SCHOOL./
I'M IN THE PARK. / I LIKE TV. / I LIKE ENGLISH.
/ I LIKE SCHOOL. /
I LIKE BOOKS. / I LIKE CATS. / I LIKE DOGS. / I
LIKE PUDDING. /

You can also turn the game into a reading


activity.
Write the sentences you will be using in the
game on pieces of paper and put them in a bag or a

22

box. Instead of you saying the sentences, the children


take turns to pull out a piece of paper and read out the
sentence on it. The class still has to stand up or sit down
to show their comprehension.

WHERE'S
Where's your mummy?
Where's your
daddy? Where's your brother?
Ask the children if they remember any
questions from the dialogue that start like that.

LISTENING TO THE TAPE

1 Tell the children to look in the Pupil's Book,

Task 1. Ask them to look at the pictures for a while and


then find out if they recognize anyone. Tracy
is there, but there is someone else. A boy or a girl? A
girl. Is she a big girl or a little girl? A little girl.

Is she happy or sad? She is sad. Why? What


is the problem? Let them guess for a while.
2 Play the tape, they just listen and look in the
book. Now have them say what the little girl's name is and
why she is sad. She is lost. Explain what it means.

3 Play the tape again. The class still just


listens. Now

ask what Suzy's surname is and what she

Write up on the board everything they


remember. Now add one more beginning:

Ask them to try and remember the
question that starts like this. Then write it up too.
Read all the questions on the board
and ask individual pupils to read after you.

class to play Suzy and the other half Tracy.


5 Finally, ask the children to practise reading
in pairs. Ask several pairs to read out the dialogue.
6 The children can do Task 4 in the book. They
need to match the questions with the answers.

If the children at the board are not sure


about the questions, ask the class to help. They can

When they have finished, ask:


HOW DO YOU SAY IN ENGLISH
'KOLIKO IMA GODINA?'
'KAKO SE ZOVE?'
'GDJE JE TVOJ DOM / TVOJA
KUA?' 'KAKO SE PREZIVA?'
The children just read the right question
from the book.
Pair off the children and ask them to do Task
in the book. One of them asks the questions, the other

answers. Then they swap roles. Have some pairs act it out.

Now they can write the four answers


in the notebook. Walk around and help.

Step 2

check in the book.

3 Ask everyone to look in the Activity Book,


Task 1.

They have to find and copy the right questions. They


can colour the picture as well.

4 Go back to the Pupil's Book, Task 6.


They listen to another dialogue between Tracy and
Suzy. After the

first listening, ask where Tracy's brother is.


The whole class repeats after the tape and
then they practise reading the dialogue with a friend. Have
several pairs read it out loud.
6 Now they can complete Task 2 in the Activity
Book.
This time they need to find the right
answers
and copy them.

PRACTISING THE QUESTIONS

With the books closed, play the


conversation once again.

Draw their attention to the REMEMBER BOX

in

the book.
Ask them to read after you
the answers
they can use after the question with WHERE.
Ask them to choose one of the answers from
the REMEMBER BOX when you ask them questions in

Unit 1

Suzy is lost

The children go back to the Activity Book


and look
at Task 3. First they have to find out from the
maze
where each of the Clicks is and then
complete the sentences.
Finally, get them to look at the questions in
Task
4 in the Activity Book.
Explain that
they need to answer only the questions that make
sense to them. If they have no sister, they skip that
question.

Go through the questions orally once, with


different children giving answers. Then ask them to
write down their answers. Walk around and help.

Ask a few children to read the questions


and answers.

Step 3
LEARNING THE SONG
My name is Greta

Revise everything the children know


about the Clicks so far. Here is how you can do it.
Ask five volunteers to come up front. Put on
your desk face down the pictures of Tracy, Luke,
Greta, Mick and Kiki.

Each volunteer picks up one picture and has


to play that particular character.
You ask a lot of questions, they answer with
YES or NO or with a very short answer.
They hold the pictures in front of them so
that everyone can see who they are.
When you ask a question, point at the
character who you want to answer. Ask all the
questions that have come up so far.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? / WHAT'S YOUR


SURNAME? ARE YOU A BOY / A GIRL / A CAT?
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
ARE YOU TRACY'S MUMMY / DADDY /
BROTHER?
DO YOU LIKE TV / BOOKS / CATS / ICECREAM / MILK?
Make sure you ask a character a question
that is suited to him / her.
Praise the children a lot and thank them.
Now involve the whole class in another
revision activity. Ask who wants to play Tracy this time. This

child comes up front. Explain the new situation.

Tell them Tracy is lost this time. The class


has to
play the role of the
policeman.
Put the children into groups of four and ask
them
to write
some questions they are

going to ask

Start with the girls in the class. Ask one to


stand up, ask her about her name and age.
Then turn to the class and say:
THIS IS ANA. SHE IS A GIRL. SHE IS
EIGHT. SHE IS A PUPIL.
Repeat your sentences again with children
saying them after you.
Do the same with some more girls.

Repeat the procedure with a few boys. THIS IS

IVAN. HE IS A BOY. HE IS EIGHT. HE IS A PUPIL.

Stick a picture of a girl on the board. It could


be a cut-out from a magazine.
Write a name next to it and a number for
the age. Ask some questions now:
WHO IS THIS? (Point to the name to help
them answer.)
IS
SHE
A
BOY? IS SHE A

HOW OLD IS SHE? (Point to the number.)


Ask the same questions once again, but this
time write the full answers on the board.
THIS IS MEG. SHE IS A GIRL. SHE IS SEVEN.
Use a pen or a piece of chalk in a different
colour and underline SHE. Ask the class what it
means.

Now stick a picture of a boy. Again, write a


name and a number next to the picture.
Ask:

they are going to learn something about the Whites.

The children look at the family tree in the


Pupil's

Ellicit some information from them.
WHO IS SUZY'S DADDY/ MUMMY/

WHO IS A TEACHER?
WHO IS A DOCTOR?
WHO IS A PUPIL?
WHO IS A LITTLE GIRL?
3 Now ask them to talk about the
picture by completing the sentences below it.
Give them a little time to prepare.
Have several children read out the sentences.
Ask everyone to cover these sentences and
to talk about the Whites.
5 Now get them to look at Task 2 in the
Activity
Book
and fill in the missing words.
6 Go back to the names of the two families that
you have put on the board.

Ask the children to come to the board and


write
the names of the members of each family. You
can
either dictate them or have the children
say them. Help with the spelling, of course.

Now play a game.


Give some
prompts. The children have to make sentences with
them using the names from the board. Here are the
prompts:

FUNNY

A BIG BOY
A LITTLE GIRL
TRACY'S MUMMY/ DADDY / BROTHER
SUZY'S MUMMY/ DADDY / BROTHER
Of course, sometimes more than one
sentence is possible.
8 Have the class look at the big REMEMBER

(And
so
on.)

Then ask them to look at


Task 3 in the
Activity
Book and find out which two jobs are there.

Now ask everyone to choose someone in their


family and write about them. This is Task 4
in the
Activity Book. You can explain everything in27
class
and ask them to do it as homework.
10
Round everything off with another game:
YES
? NO chairs.
You can use it to revise everything. There are
two teams in the class. Representatives come to the
board where two chairs (YES and NO) are placed. They
listen to your sentence and sit on the correct chair. If they
have chosen the correct chair they win a point for their
team. For each sentence a new pair of children comes up
to the board.

Use all the sentences about the characters


but add some sentences about the children
themselves, like for example:

Unit 1

Friends
Lesson 5
Aim: Talking about one's best
friend
Learning some actions

Then read them once with the whole class.


Now ask: WHERE DOES IT SAY

Language focus: My best friend is


He / She is tall / short / clever /

Step 1

INTRODUCING NEW ACTIONS

Start off the lesson with the commands the


children know so far:
STAND UP / SIT DOWN / RUN / CLAP YOUR
HANDS / SMILE / SAY HELLO / SAY GOODBYE / CLIMB A
TREE

/ TOUCH THE FLOOR / OPEN THE DOOR /

EAT AN ICE-CREAM And so on.


Tell the class what to do and they mime the
action.
2 Introduce the new commands that come up
in the chant. Use the picturecards.

Show a picture and name the action: LAUGH


The class repeats the word after you and then
you
mime the action together and say it few more
times. Do the same with the following actions:
GO TO SCHOOL
SING A SONG
SWIM
PLAY
JUMP
RUN
RIDE A BIKE
3 Put all the pictures on the board and then ask
some children to come and point to them.
POINT TO 'RIDE A BIKE'!

She is Tracy's friend.


They do a lot of
things
together. Name the actions you have
introduced in the previous step.

Tell the children to listen and look at
you. Say the action chant once and mime all the actions.

Repeat the chant again, but this time


ask the children to mime with you.
4 The third time they mime with you and
repeat the lines after you.
5 Ask everyone to look in the Pupil's Book,
Task 1. Play the tape and they follow the lines in the book.
Next they read after the tape.

Finally, they read with the tape


. It's
tricky because
they need to keep the same rhythm, but it is
fun.
6 Give them a little time to prepare reading
with a partner. Then ask several pairs to read the chant.

7 Ask the children to look at Task 4 in the


Pupil's
Book.
It should be fairly easy now to
match the
words with the pictures.
8 Now they can complete Tasks 1 and 2 in the
Activity Book.

For relaxation you can play the game SIMON


SAYS
which is suggested in Task 6 in the Pupil's
Book.

Finally, it is time for the children to talk about


their
best friends. There is
Task 8 in the
Pupil's Book
to help them. First, go through the sentences
with the whole class and explain how they can use them.
Then give them a little time to tick the sentences. Ask a

2 Play the tape once again. Stop after each
character's sentences, ask some questions and explain
some

words like: TALL / SHORT / CLEVER.


3 The children practise reading the text with a
partner. Then they read out loud.
4 Ask them to look at the REMEMBER BOX
and to try and say what each of the adjectives means.
Then they can copy them into their notebooks and translate
them if you like.

using the table. The real writing and drawing can be done as
homework.

Make sure you find time in the next lesson


to look at and listen to their sentences.

Do not forget to praise them a lot.


To round off the whole thing you can play a
crossing out game.
Write the following names on the board.

SUM UP 2
BOARD GAME

Who is who?

This board game is in the

Pupil's Book.

You need to prepare


two sets of the
letters of
the alphabet . Put each set in an
envelope.
You can ask some children to do it for you
some time before, or you can use the sets the children
have made before for themselves (if you had asked
them to do it).

The aim of the game is to revise orally


everything the
children have learned about the characters,
and along
the way repeat the letters of the alphabet as
well.
Divide the class into two groups: group1 and
group 2.
Each group has their own envelope with the
letters.
The game is played in a very simple way. The
groups take turns to pull out a letter from the envelope.
Then they read the question that stands next
to that
letter in the book. They have 10 seconds to
prepare.
Then you choose a pupil from the group
who is going to answer it. This means everyone in
the group should know the answer.

If the answer is correct, the group can write


their
number in the box in the question mark and
put aside the letter they have given the answer for.
If not, they have to put the letter back
in the envelope.
Now the other group pulls out a letter from
their envelope and prepares the answer.
If they happen to pull out the letter of the
question that has already been answered, it is just BAD
LUCK. They cannot win a box but they can put that letter
aside.

The game is played until all the questions


have been answered.
The winner is the group that wins more boxes.
You can play a few rounds of this game. The
groups can use different symbols for every round.
ACTIVITY BOOK
There are 5 revision exercises there. You can
spend time on them in class or give some of them for
homework.

UNIT 2
AFRICA

Unit 2 takes us to Africa where the Clicks are staying for a while. We get to
meet some African animals, Toby an African boy and Booboo and Boobah who
are two strange monsters. A lot of interesting things happen; monkeys make
trouble, a baby lion is helped by Greta, the animals talk about themselves and
the monsters eat an unusual pie.
The following language items are introduced:
? feelings
? African animals
? plural of nouns: How many monkeys can you see?
? numbers
? parts of the body (neck / shoulders / arms / legs / knees?)
? have got: I've got a cat. / Have you got a cat? / He's got / She's got a parrot.
? prepositions of place: in / on / under
? some songs and rhymes

The unit ends with the revision section SUM UP 3 which includes another
board game in the Pupil's Book (Snakes and Ladders) and a number of tasks
in the Activity Book.

LISTENING TO THE TAPE

1 The children look at Task 6 in the Pupil's


Book.
Play the tape and let them listen. After
the first listening, ask:
ARE SNAKES DANGEROUS?

Play the tape again and the children repeat


after it.
3 Ask some children to take up the roles of
Tracy and Luke and repeat after the tape or read the
dialogue.

4 Now they look at the picture in Task 8 (IT'S


YOUR
TURN) and count different animals.

When they have discovered the right number


of animals they can find them in the Word Search. This
is Task 3.
Finally, they have to sort out the animals
according to how dangerous they think they are.

A similar but more difficult task is in the


Activity
Book.
It is
Task 2.

Task 4.

A NOTE:
It will take a while for children to start using
the plural form of the nouns. Be patient, provide plenty
of practice and in time most children will start using it
correctly.

can be very useful


to make children concentrate on the plural form.
Here is an example of tasks you can write
on the board. The children read the words and draw
the pictures.

When they have finished, ask several
pairs of children to read the dialogue out loud.
7 Ask the children: WHY DOES TRACY
SAY 'YOU SILLY MONKEYS'?
So, monkeys can be silly, they can do funny
things.

Someone comes up front and
does it.

Repeat this with a few more

actions.

e. Now it is the time to play a real game.


The class
is divided into 23 teams.
First, a representative of team 1 comes up
front. You point to a command, his/her group reads it
and he/ she has to perform the action. If it is done
correctly, the team wins a point. If not, no point is won.

Then group 2 gets a task and finally group 3.


Do it as long as it takes for every child to have a go. The
winner is the group with most points.

commands from the table in the book and get
someone to perform them.

c. Next, you tell every pupil to write one


command from the table on a piece of paper.
They should not show it to anyone. Only you
need to check what they have written.
d. Finally, the children make groups of not
more than ten. Someone reads the command into the
ear of the child next to him. This child passes it on into
the next child's ear and so on. The last child in the group
shold perform the command. It's fun! Strange things may
happen.

Task 4 in the Pupil's Book.


Play the tape and let the children listen to the
whole story and look in the book.
After the first listening ask: WHO HAS
GOT A THORN IN HIS LEG?

Play the tape for the second time but stop


occasionally to ask some more questions.

Their names are BOOBOO and BOOBAH. Write
them up on the board and let the children read the names
after you. Then show their pictures.

They live in the MOUNTAIN. Stick the picture on

live in the mountain in a CAVE. Again stick the picture and
write the word. They eat A PIE every day. Add another
picture and the word. But this is a special pie. What's in it?
BATS. This is the last picture you stick and also add the
word.

A NOTE:
Explain straight away that these are not very
bad monsters but that eating BATS is a bad thing. Add
that there are not so many bats left and that they are
PROTECTED SPECIES. Do this in their mother tongue.
Also add that this is only a story and in stories
everything is possible.

BOARD GAME

Snakes and ladders

This board game is in the


Pupil's Book.
The aim of the game is to revise some of the
things they have learned in Unit 2.
You need several
dice (36)
for the
game. You can
ask the children to bring some in advance.
For
counters
they can use some
small objects like
sharpeners, erasers or coins. If you like, you
can bring some counters from another board game you
may have at home.

Version 1
1 You can play the game with the whole class.
There are three groups in the class. Each group has one
die, and each member of the group has a
counter.
2 Representatives of the groups throw the dice.
The group with the highest number starts playing first.
3 One player in the team throws the die again
and moves the counter along the board in the direction shown
by the arrows. Actually every member of the team moves their
counter.

But only the one who threw the die has to


answer
the question if the counter happens to land on
the square with one.

team) take

turns at playing the game.

The winner is the team who gets to the


FINISH first.
Version 2
The game is played in groups of 46 pupils. In
that case you need a die for each group and a different
counter for every member of the group.

This time the players are playing against each


other in the group.
ACTIVITY BOOK
There are 5 revision exercises there. You can
spend time on them in class or give some of them for
homework.

UNIT
3
WHAT CAN THEY DO?
This unit is centred round the verb CAN, expressing ability. The purpose of this
unit is not only to teach our students the concept of ability but to expose them to a
number of verbs in the infinitive that follow the modal verb CAN.

The unit consists of 4 lessons.


The Clicks are back from Africa.
In
Lesson 1 Tracy is at school and the children are learning about different
jobs.
At this age children understand the concept of a profession as something people
can do.
Therefore, this is the first lesson to introduce the concept of
can .
In
Lesson 2 we learn about Luke's favourite detective called Mike who can
do a lot of
things.
In
Lesson 3, called BLAST OFF,
conversation. The
negative form is also introduced.

can is put within the contex of a short

Lesson 4 is a story that is slightly above the children's level of language but
they can
follow it because the outline of the story is based on the 6 can sentences which
have been
introduced before. The story is partly based on repetition which makes
understanding easier.
The unit ends with a revision section SUM UP 4 which includes a number of
questions children could ask the members of their family.

what animals they can see in the picture of SICK


ANIMALS.

INTRODUCING JOBS
YES. A PILOT and A PLANE. A PILOT CAN FLY A

Start off by asking the children how they


are. If someone is absent, introduce the word SICK.
2 Prepare picture cards of jobs. Start with the
ones they know. Stick them on the board and say:
A DOCTOR
CAN HELP YOU WHEN YOU
ARE SICK.
IS GRETA CLICK A DOCTOR? NO, SHE IS
VET.

54

SHE CAN HELP SICK ANIMALS.


Then introduce the new words.
Say: THIS IS

A PILOT.

Ask pupils to repeat the words after you.


Without showing the other two pictures, say two

more words:
AN ASTRONAUT
and
A MECHANIC.
They sound similar to the
Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian words (therefore difficult),
so pupils might recognize the meaning. Stick the pictures
on the board. Children try to repeat in chorus after you.

Ask someone to come to the board and point


to the pictures.
Say: POINT TO A PILOT.
POINT TO AN ASTRONAUT.
Repeat this several times with different
children.
4 You can now mime one of the professions
from the board. You can do it together with your class, or
YOU can mime and the pupils guess who you
are. You can include both steps. (Pretend you have a
stethoscope and listen to someone's heart, pat an animal
and give it an injection, open the bonnet of a car or
pretend you are fixing a tyre, walk very slowly

as if on the moon, stretch your hand as if you


were
a plane and then sit down as if you were flying
it.)
You can also ask your pupils to come to the
board individually and mime the words while the
others are guessing.

Tell them now that you are going to say the


sentences and they should match the pairs.
There is a chance that some children would

won't go
very smoothly. For example:

Children repeat after you.

Write on the board the beginning of the


sentences:
HE IS _______________________ .
HIS NAME IS ________________ .
HE IS A DETECTIVE ON A ____________________
.
HE CAN CATCH _____________________ .
5 Ask your pupils to fill in the sentences and
copy them in their notebooks.
6 Revise what Mike can do by miming. Ask
your pupils to mime, too.
He can ride a motorbike. (Hold the
handlebars.)
He can drive a fast car. (Hold a steering
wheel.)
He can walk on a rope. (Stretch your hands,
pretending you have problems keeping
balance.)

Task 4.

Ask them if they recognize these characters.

Ask them if they can guess what they can do.

Unit
3

Tell your pupils that you are going to ask them


some questions. They should "answer" just by pointing
to the left or right side of the classroom.

Pointing to the left means: Yes, I can (as


on the board).
Pointing to the right: No, I can't.

Note:
The purpose of this activity is to expose
your students to the question form once more.
You ask them the questions from
Task 5 in the
Pupils Book.

HOW? IN A CAR? NO, IN
A ROCKET.
A ROCKET CAN GO VERY FAST. IT
BLASTS OFF.
(draw big circles of smoke with the chalk on
the board and then draw a rocket or stick up a picture)
WHERE DOES IT GO? TO MARS OR TO THE
MOON?
(draw the moon and the Earth)
What can you see?
THE EARTH
Hold the picture of an astronaut close to the

You read the sentences from Task 2 in the
Activity
Book. The children point to the different sides
of the
classroom depending on who is saying the
sentence.

This task is very similar to the one they had for homework,
so check both.

The TPR story BLAST OFF has nothing to do


with CAN practice, but thematically fits in.
It is for fun and it's not important that children
really
remember the words such as
launch pad
or spacesuit.
They love listening to a countdown pretending
they are in a rocket.
1 First you tell the story and mime. The
children just listen. Don't tell the story to the very end,
stop

before the countdown.

Say: PUT ON A SPACESUIT. (Pretend you are


putting
on a spacesuit, as if you were putting on an
overall.)

were entering through a small door.)

Tell the story again and ask the children to


mime with you.
4 Tell the story but do not mime. The children
listen and mime.
5 Finally, mime the story to the very end while
listening to the tape. The countdown recorded on the tape
makes it even more exciting.

(Sit on a chair. Pretend you are holding some


sort of a lever with your left hand. Put the right hand on
your chest showing your heart beating. Listen
to the
countdown and pull the lever when you hear
ZERO.) While you are "flying in space" ask the children
if they can see the moon, the sun, the stars
while pointing to the lights in the classroom. Or, just
shout: Look, the moon! Look, the Earth.

Now the children can look at the pictures


in the book.
7 Let them do Tasks 4 and 5 in their
Activity Book. Those who finish early can colour
the picture.

Step 7

LEARNING A TRADITIONAL SONG


TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

Let the children listen to the TPR story once


more. Ask them to read individually.
2 Do Task 8. Tell them to draw a picture in
their notebook. Tell them to write what they can see.
While they are drawing let them listen to the

Twinkle, Twinkle song.

62

When they finish drawing, spend some more


time working on the song. Make at home a star. You
can make it shiny by using some shiny paper
(self adhesive silver wallpaper, or aluminium foil). Stick
the star on the board. Turn off the lights and direct a
flashlight to the star, moving it left and right, as if

the

star

was

twinkling. You can say:


IT'S GETTING DARK.
(turn off the lights one by
one) IT'S NIGHT.
LOOK, THERE IS A LITTLE STAR IN THE
SKY. IT TWINKLES.
IT'S NICE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE SKY.
(Ask them to repeat Like a diamond in the
sky
.)
Then sit down, say the rhyme and move your
hands as descibed below:
TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR, (Hold up your
hand and open and shut your fist repeatedly.)
HOW I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE. (Put your
finger on your lips and look puzzled as if wondering.)
UP ABOVE THE WORLD SO HIGH (Put your
hand above your hand and draw a big circle the world
? in the air.)
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE SKY; (Put your
forefingers and thumbs together.)
Students cut out the pictures from their
Activity
Book and stick them in their notebook.
They copy a corresponding line under the
pictures. While they are cutting, let them listen to the
song several times.

For example: You can eat it. (Since there are
always two possibilites: an ice-cream or a banana, add
one more sentence to make it clear: A monkey likes it.)
Those children who have copied that particular word
should say: A BANANA and cross the word out.

After playing BINGO in such a way they are


ready to

Activity Book.

UNIT 4
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

In this unit the children will learn how to describe activities that are going on at
the present moment (the Present Continuous). When mimed or demonstrated
through pictures this tense is easily taught. Firstly, the children are taught the
actions in the third person singular, the Present Continuous with HE/SHE; then
with the first person singular I; and at the very end the plural form with THEY.
Don't teach the tense explicitly by explaining how the tense is formed. Children
at this age don't learn a foreign language in an analytical way. They learn
"grammar" by remembering chunks of language. Therefore, they should be
exposed to a great number of examples through pictures, texts, TPR stories,
songs, and rhymes.
In
Lesson 1 Greta and Tracy are showing Monica their photos from Africa.
Most of the
verbs used in the Present Continuous sentences in this lesson have been
introduced before.
In Lesson 2
Luke is going shopping. Short form

story.

In
Lesson 3 Tracy is thinking about the holidays. The days of the week are
also introduced.
Children are also exposed to the vocabulary of items of clothing.
Short answers: Yes, he is. No, he isn't

are also introduced.

In
Lesson 4 The Clicks are very busy because they are going on holidays.
The lesson starts
with HE/SHE IS actions and moves on to the first form singular (I'M).
Lesson 5 introduces the difference between the third person singular and plural
forms.
The Clicks are at the seaside. There is also a chant about pirates.
The unit ends with a revision section SUM UP 2

which includes a number

of pictures
of actions introduced throughout the unit. There are also some corresponding
revision
exercises in
the Activity Book.

what he or she is miming. Explain once more that if a
girl is miming they will start the sentence with SHE, if a

boy is miming they will start it with HE.

Prepare cards with the written sentences
on them.
Ask someone to come to the board, draw out
a card and show it to the class. The class should read

etc.
Then ask:

What number is HE IS SLEEPING?


5 Tell the children to take a green or red
coloured pencil.
Green means YES. RED means NO.
Pupils put up their green or red coloured
pencil depending on whether the sentence you are
saying about the picture is true or not.

Apart from saying the wrong action, you


can also say HE instead of SHE.
Let the class correct the mistake.
6 Pupils should be able to say the
sentences by themselves now, so ask

WHAT'S IN PICTURE NUMBER 1?


WHAT'S IN PICTURE NUMBER 2? etc.
Ask one of the pupils to come to the board.

remember about The Clicks' visit to Africa.

Tell them to open the books and have a look


at the
pictures in
Task 4.

balloons.
6 Stop the tape and ask them to repeat after
the tape. First they can do it in chorus. Then ask them to
repeat the sentences individually.
7 Ask the questions from Task 5 and then let
them answer by themselves.
They can write the answers in their book.

Do Task 6
now.
They should write at least three sentences
in their notebook. They can also write a silly one.
They can illustrate the silly one for their
homework
(Task 8).

Step 1
INTRODUCING NEW
VOCABULARY

It's a good idea to start off the lesson by


asking the children how they are. Ask them if they are tired.
Ask them in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian if they have had a lot of
periods that day and whether that particular day is hard for
them. Start teaching the days of the week, introducing one or
two each lesson. That makes your job in Lesson 3 much easier.

First introduce the fruit: A MANGO,


BANANAS,
ORANGES
and LEMONS.
The class guesses the fruit you are
describing. Help in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian if
necessary.

YOU CAN EAT THEM. MONKEYS LIKE


THEM. YOU CAN MAKE JUICE WITH THEM.
IT'S ALSO A NAME OF A COLOUR.
THEY ARE YELLOW.
THEY ARE VERY SOUR. (show it with your
face) Finally, show them the picture of a MANGO:
AND WHAT'S THIS? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT?

They are familiar with the word ice-cream.


Ask:
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE ICE-CREAM? Ask:
HOW MANY SCOOPS (KUGLICA) OF ICE-CREAM CAN
YOU EAT?

IT'S HOT AND THE SUNDAE IS
COOL. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE
IT? YES, AND THEN YOU MIX THE FRUIT.
SHOW ME HOW YOU MIX THE FRUIT.

beginning to the end.

Listen to the song and sing along.

REVISION

Revise at least 4 days of the week they have


learnt so far.

Sing the song AFRICAN DREAM.

3 Let them do Task 3 in the
Activity
Book. This short story is very similar to the one about
Luke, so children can do the task without your help. Those who
finish first can read the story to you and colour the pictures.

If you have more time left you can call


three students to the board to act out the story while the
fourth child is reading. (You will have most volunteers for
the role of the dog!)

the finger you are pointing at. You can also skip one of the
fingers and ask them to tell you which day you have
skipped.

Write the first letters of the days of the week


on the board and do the same as described in 1.

Say: Monday, point to the next pupil, he


should
say
Tuesday,
next pupil
Wednesday, etc. At the
beginning the children would need some help,
some of them would just repeat what you say (or
whisper) to them and some would be able to say it by
themselves. Practise until it runs smoothly.

You have the first letter of the days on the

board. Write first the ones that are easy to read:

Monday, Tuesday, Sunday. More difficult:


Friday,
Wednesday
and then the very difficult
ones:
Thursday
and Saturday. Practise
the pronunciation
of the TH sound by puting your forefinger in
front of your lips (as a gesture for silence).
Tell them that their tongue should nearly
touch their finger when they say THURSDAY. They
should pronounce it in the same way they pronounce
the first sound in THANK YOU.

Ask them what days of the week they have


English
or music

in grade 3). Don't insist on the preposition ON but if
you have a strong class you can teach them that as well.

Step 5
INTRODUCING TOWNS AND
FOOD OF
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Start off with a little talk in


Bosnian/Croatian/ Serbian about towns and food of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ask the children which places
they have visited and what they saw there.

Prepare some bigger pictures (the motives


from
the pictures in the
Pupil's Book ), put
them on the
blackboard and ask the children if they
recognise any. Encourage them to tell the name of
paricular town or food.

Let the children look at Task 6 in the Pupil's


Book . Introduce the text by saying that they will now read
Tracy's postcard about towns and food of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. They silently read it and replace the photos with
the words. Ask them to exchange their answers/notes with
their friends next to them.

Let the children listen to the tape (Task 7)

and

check their answers. Repeat the tape several times if


necessary.

You read the text aloud again, but say that


you will need their help. Read a part of the sentence and
invite them to read the rest (e.g. I'm writing
from... I'm in Neum...). You may ask the children to read
themselves.

Tell your pupils to look at the map of Bosnia

and
Herzegovina (
Task 8) and towns written
around it
(the same ones from
Task 6 in the Pupil's
Book
).
Prepare your own bigger map of Bosnia and

UNIT 5
TRACY IS BACK HOME AGAIN!
in this unit the children will learn how to describe their home, their rooms
and furniture using THERE IS / THERE ARE.
They will also learn how to tell the time. They will be taught school subjects
and will be able to talk about the subjects they like/don't like.
The unit consists of 4 lessons.
In
Lesson 1 the children are introduced to the house of the Clicks family.
They are taught
to describe a house (rooms) using THERE IS/ARE.
In
Lesson 2 the children can see what Tracy has got in her room. They are
taught the new
vocabulary (furniture).
In
Lesson 3 Tracy is talking about her daily routines. The childen are also
practising telling
the time (half and full hours).
In
Lesson 4 The school subjects are introduced. Tracy, Luke and their friends
Monica and
David are talking about their favourite subjects in school. Children are talking
about the subjects they like/don't like. Children are introduced to the main
facts about Great Britain, too.
The unit ends with

INTRODUCING NEW VOCABULARY

Start off by introducing vocabulary. Use the

flashcards from the pack. You need the following pictures: a


wardrobe, a table, a bed, a desk, bookshelves, a carpet,
posters, a cupboard, a computer.

Follow the usual procedure when introducing


new words.
a. Show the picture and say the word. The
class repeats after you.
b. When all the pictures are on the board ask
some children to come and point to them.
c. Ask someone to come to the board and
write numbers next to the pictures. You say: A bed is
number 1, A cupboard is number 2, etc.

d. Then ask WHAT NUMBER IS THE BED? So

INTRODUCING TELLING THE TIME

It is a good idea to use a clock with movable


hands when introducing and practising telling the time. Start
with full hours. (It's one o'clock.) Go around the class changing
the position of the hands and asking what

the time is. Then, introduce


half
by
drawing a circle on
the board and colouring half of it. Next,
introduce past
by drawing an arrow next to the coloured half.
Place
the hands of the clock on half hours and repeat
half

Make a selection and order the tasks in the way
you would like to do them. If the class is tired, start with
something easier like BINGO and then move on to some more
demanding tasks. Rewarding children's effort is of great value
at this stage of learning English. It should be given more credit
than individual ability.

APPENDIX
HAPPY BAYRAM
Step 1
Start off by asking your pupils about activities they
do with their families for Bayram. If the class is weaker, then
you can ask them about it in Bosnian/Croatian/ Serbian.

4 The Present Continuous hasn't been
introduced yet but children can tell you what they can see
and what the characters can do.

5 They can draw speech ballons above the

characters' heads and write what they are saying.


6 They can make an Easter card. Write HAPPY
EASTER on the board.

HAPPY NEW YEAR


Step 1
Start by asking your pupils about the words that
can be associated with the New Year Eve.
Write the words on the blackboard and illustrate
them as well. Translate them into Bosnian / Croatian /Serbian
for the weaker pupils. Tell your pupils that some items or
words can be associated with both Christmas and New Year.

Step 2
Say that they are going to read Monica's
postcard to her friend Hana from Sarajevo. Read the
postcard. Let the pupils read after you. Do the same with
Hana's postcard.

Step 3
Let them do the
Task 1 in the Activity Book
. The pupils
use their knowledge from the coursebook
exercise to write their own postcard.
Encourage them to illustrate and colour it as well.

HAPPY HANUKKAH
Step 1
Start off by asking your pupils about activities
they do with their families for hanukkah. If they do not
celebrate Hanukkah, ask your pupils to tell you what they
know about Hanukkah and how it is celebrated. Help your
pupils by suggesting them to turn the page 126 in their

Pupils Book and pay attention to


Task 1.
Pupils will
take a look at the pictures and comment them.
Point to the dreidel and menorah. If the class is weaker,
you can comment with them in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian.

they do with their families for Jurjevdan. If the class is
weaker,
then
you
can
ask
them
about
it
in
Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. If there are no pupils who celebrate
Jurjevdan, explain them in a few sentences about that holiday
and ask them to turn

the page 127 in their Pupils Book and take a


look at
Task
