The second week of Poppet by Dick King-Smith has ended, and I found it went well. I used it with all of my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students.
The students and I re-read the book listening for words we did not know. At the end of the reading we wrote those words on the board. I then handed out a piece of regular sized paper to each student.
Step by step we went through how to fold the piece of paper so that 16 boxes were formed (that is how many words the children struggled with).
1.Africa 2. Mouse 3. Do not understand 4. Jungle 5. River 6. Lizard 7. Beetle 8. Caterpillar 9. Snake 10. Hole 11. Frog 12. Grass 13. Scared 14 Trunk (elephant's nose) 15. Sneeze 16 Unhappy
Some they knew, but it helped that they shouted the animals out because it helped with the next part of the lesson.
We wrote word 1 in box 1 and then drew what the word meant. So in box 1 was Africa, and a picture of Africa. That one is hard to explain without a map in the room!!!
When the picture dictionary was finished we playes Hangman using the words in our new picture dictionary.
