1.Have the beam projector ready to show the videos suggested in the MED section.

2. In this session, students are going to work with more limericks and a story to practice reading and listening skills.

3. Review what a limerick is, write the information on the board and remind students that limericks are silly and simple.

• 2.       An old person and a bear
• 3.       A young lady dressed in blue
• 4.       A small boy from Quebec
• 5.       A young lady and a tiger

These are the ones suggested for this session,

5. Play the video and show the first limerick and make your students feel comfortable with the activity and not to worry about knowing every single word in the limerick.

6. Pause the video and read the limerick again for students to repeat. Then, talk about it, does it make sense? What makes the limericks that silly?

7. Ask students to copy the limericks in their notebooks and leave some room for them to draw a picture to go with them.

8. Work with the next limericks you choose and try to vary the way you read them the second time.

9. Ask students to work in pairs and read the limericks to each other and have fun.

10. Ask students to choose a couple of limericks to memorize for next class.

11. Show the tile and ask students what they think it is going to be about.

12. You may want to prepare the vocabulary beforehand and pre-teach some words but by watching the video, the new words will be self-explanatory.

13. You can take advantage of the video and if you like, teach some prepositions in a visual context.

14. Play the video and make pauses if necessary. Make comments, ask simple questions, paraphrase.

15. The text can be seen on the screen so encourage students to read along.

16. Choose some lines from the story with rhyming words for students to explore and identify.

1. Have the beam projector ready to show the videos suggested in the MED section.

2. Tell students they are going to practice rhyming words with a game and then, as tory.

3. . Review what rhyming words are and elicit some examples. It is recommended that your students have special vocabulary lists in their notebooks with rhyming words so in case they need them, they can refer to it. Think about a special short project for them to do with these words.

4. Play the first part of the video, where more examples are presented and ask students to listen to them, hat-bat / fish-dish / barn-yarn / duck –deer, etc, there’s a very short pause for students to identify if they rhyme or not so practice that with students ‘thumbs up, thumbs down’ to confirm.

4. The second part of the video and ask students to answer faster this time.

5. Write some of these words on the board and ask students to read them aloud and find a rhyming word by chanting do they rhyme-do they rhyme?

6. Play the activity one more time and have different students take turns and answer.

7.  Show the title and ask students to read it aloud, help with pronunciation.

8. This story works with sound /ae/ as in CAT, RAT, MAT…and these words are used in the story.

9. Play the video and ask students to listen carefully first and do not make any pauses.

10. Ask students simple questions about the cat and the rat. You may want to take advantage of the story and make a list of the words /ae/ in it for students to work with rhyming words.

11. Play the story again but without sound and encourage students to read the story aloud.
