Activity 1 The animal school
You are going to read a story called “The animal school”
Show the pictures of animals(handout 1) to students one by asking some questions.

e.g. What is it? What is it good at? Where does it live? What does it eat? What is its natural colour?, etc

Divide students into group of four or five and give each group handout 2(five sets of the jumbled story).Ask the groups to put them in logical order. Check the order of the text with the whole group. Ask students some questions to check their comprehention of the story.

Suggested questions: Was the animal school successful?Why/Why not? (It wasn’t successful because the instructors made different animals do things they were not good at.) What is the moral of the story? (Everyone is different and this should be taken into account/We should value these differences)
