  • More support can be given at the start and in middle of lesson by providing less-able learners with story vocabulary in a word list so they can read examples of words seen or heard.
  • Learners who are less confident at making up dialogue, can be given copies of parts of the dialogue from the story to read aloud.
  • More-able learners can be encouraged to use the full range of language from the video when they practise the role-play.
  • Monitor how much vocabulary learners can recall from images on the video without sound and then from video with sound.
  • Monitor learners as they reorder events from the story. Can they read and understand each event and can they sort them into chronological order? Notice any sentences which are difficult for learners to understand and adapt for a future lesson.
  • Monitor groups of learners as they agree on and practise dialogue for the role-play activity. Do they take turns to speak? Do they contribute appropriate language for the role-play?
  • Links to the L1: Do learners know this story in the L1 and do they know any other Aesop’s fables?
  • Make sure learners have sufficient space to act out the role-play.
  • As the unit is on the topic of values, it is very important to leave time to discuss the end two questions with the whole class.
