Other teachers may prefer to skip this previewing step, and instead have their students experience the subject matter and any unfamiliar words in the context of the initial reading of the story Reading and Talking A b o u t a Story There are many ways in which students can read and talk about the stories We don’t want to dictate any specific procedures Rather, we encourage you to use strategies that are compatible with the needs and abilities of your students as well as your own teaching style For the initial reading, students can read silently to themselves or follow along as the story is told by the teacher, one or more students, or the narrator on the tape Some teachers might want to repeat this step before moving on After this initial reading, a teacher might want to check students’ understanding of new vocabulary items and ask students if they have any questions about what they have read The questions after each story serve to check students’ com prehension and offer practice with the specific grammatical structures The questions also serve as a springboard for classroom interaction by offering students a framework for discussing the story’s content and characters The questions can be used in several ways They might be read aloud by the teacher or students or read silently from the book Students may answer them with their books open as they scan the text or refer to the illustrations, or with books closed Pair practice or small group work can also be effective for talking about the story Students can work with one or more partners and take turns asking and answering the questions This form of practice can serve as a prelude to a full-class discussion of the story Questions can also be answered in writing either in class or at home Teachers will find that using the questions in this way not only offers written practice, but also helps students focus more clearly on the grammatical structures highlighted in each chapter By writing out the answers for homework, students will be better prepared to discuss and retell a story in class the next day However, we discourage students from actually referring to their written answers during discussion so that the classroom conversation can be as interactive as possible Retelling a S to ry The way in which the stories are written and the illustrations that accompany them enable students to retell them with little I difficulty Teachers find retelling to be a useful activity for reviewing the content of a story and the grammar it contains, or for providing additional speaking and pronunciation practice In retelling stories, students should refer to the illustrations, which usually offer clues to story content, characters, and sequence of action There are several approaches for retelling stories One student might retell the entire story in front of the class; students might work m pairs, retelling the story to each other and perhaps then presenting the story to the class; or students may retell it as a "circle story,” with one student beginning with the first line, another contributing the second line, and so on Students not have to retell the stories exactly as they appear m the book They can adapt, paraphrase, or add to the story as they wish Many stories are appropriate for role-play activities Students can play the roles of different characters, creating speaking lines and acting out the situations One student might be assigned as the narrator to explain the action taking place Other students, in the audience, can "interview” the actors, asking them who they are, what lliey’re doing, and how they feel about what’s happening "In Your O w n W ords" The "In Your Own Words” activity in each chapter is designed to ynide students in their creation of original stories Students are asked In toll about such topics as their homes, schools, jobs, friends, families, and themselves Teachers should go over the instructions for the activities and make sure that their students understand what is expected Students mIioiiId then write their stories, taking sufficient time to think about wliat they want to say, and use a dictionary for any new words they wImIi to include These activities are perhaps most appropriately mwigned for homework to guarantee that all students will have nufflciont time to develop their ideas and write them out Many teachers will find these written pieces a basis for effective pern' work among the students Students can work together, telling Ihair stories to each other, asking and answering questions about the ulnrioH, and correcting each other’s written work A h a final step, the "In Your Own Words” activities serve as a vehicle for classroom speaking practice Students can tell their own MturloH, or perhaps tell the stories of their "peer work” partners, while Ilia rent of the class listens and asks questions In conclusion, we have attempted to help students develop their iending and writing abilities in English through a collection of пи chilly structured stories that are both lighthearted in content and i IX relevant to students’ lives While we hope that we have conveyed to you the substance of our textbook, we also hope that we have conveyed the spirit: that the study of reading and writing can be dynamic communicative and fun Steven J Molinsky Bill Bliss x i Looking Back Joe didn’t go to college when he was young He thought that going to college was a waste o f time Instead, he went right to work after high school Now, looking back on it, he wishes he h a d gone to college after all I f he had gone to college, he m ight have had a more interesting and successful career What didn’t Joe when he was young?
