TKES 1, 2, 3,4,5, 8,10

INTRODUCTION/CONNECTION: After we tell our class-story and read about it, we may have time to do a comic version of our story using the week’s targeted structures and get in even more repetitions. New Vocabulary Includes:

rascacielos - skyscrapers

empleado - employee

no se portaba bien - s/he didn’t behave well

vivian - they lived

llevó - took/carried

DIRECT INSTRUCTION: As always, I am going to get details from the students to make the story more relevant to them, but because the pictures cannot change, there is more control with a story strip.

When using a story strip to review structures, I follow the same steps as I do when asking an oral story with actors: introduce main character, introduce any secondary characters, set up the problem, attempt to solve the problem, and then solve the problem.
