Activities. Pupils
(1) say several sentences about the object every pupil, has chosen and prepared at home (check five-seven individuals on their ability to speak about the object);
(2) aud story from the record and answer the questions;
(3) aud it a second time and retell the story (pupils retell the story in a chain-like way first, and then two pupils give a summary of the story).
Reading. (7—12 min.)
V e r s i o n A
Оbjeсtives: 1. To check five or six individuals on their ability to read aloud (control reading. Text "...")
2. To teach pupils silent reading on text .
Activities. Pupils (1) look through text "..." read at home;
(2) read this text aloud (call on 5—6 pupils in turn to read the text, the class follows their reading and cor­rects mistakes if any);
(3) read text "..." silently to be able to answer before-questions (explain what they should do and how to work at the text to understand it);
(4) answer the questions.
V e r s i o n В
Objeсtive: To teach pupils to read the words ..... (they have assimilated orally), sentences (in which they occur) and text "..." aloud.
Activities. Pupils
(1) read the words aloud from flash cards (or from the textbook);
(2) read word combinations and sentences first silent­ly, then aloud, ex. ... , p. ... ;
(3) read text first silently, then aloud (give pupils time for looking through the reading material before they start reading aloud. Then they pass through diagnostic and instructive reading. Use the record for instructive reading. Pupils listen to the text with their books open and read it in a low voice. Then partially choral and individual reading follows).
Writing (3—8 min.)
