Activity 2 Look, listen and say.

Objectives: to introduce a fairy tale;

to revise the vocabulary learnt in previous units

to practise the pronunciation of the sound []

Ask the pupils to look at the next picture where there is Ali with his donkey and a beautiful pari/peri nearby. She is presenting Ali a magic watermelon with the help of her magic wand.

Here introduce Ali and the word “donkey” to the pupils: ‘This is a poor peasant. His name is Ali. This is his donkey’.

Further ask the children to speak about what they see in the picture and what is occurring there. Then sums up: “Yes, kind pari/peri is asking Ali what he has got”. Here suggest the children ask questions instead of pari/peri. You will answer instead of Ali. Say that Ali has got nothing except his donkey. Then ask a volunteer pupil to answer instead of Ali every time the pupils ask questions: ‘No. I’ve got a donkey’.

The pupils begin asking questions: ‘Have you got a horse?’, ‘Have you got apples?’ etc.

Volunteer Ali answers the same: ‘No. I’ve got a donkey’.

Prompt to the pupils what questions it is possible to ask from poor Ali. Ali keeps answering each question the same: ‘No. I’ve got a donkey’.

Further, ask the pupils: ‘What has pari/peri got in her hands?’, ‘What do you think she is going to do?’, ‘Why does she want to give Ali a watermelon?’, ‘Do you think it is a simple watermelon?’, etc. The pupils answer. Sum up: ‘Yes, the beautiful pari/peri gave Ali the watermelon and said…’ here wait for the pupils’ help/prompt. Ask the pupils how to say “Mana marhamat/Вот пожалуйста” and answer: ‘Here it is’. Also ask the children how to thank: ‘Thank you’. Have the pupils repeat the sound [] in “thank” after you in chorus and individually.

After that ask the pupils to look at the next picture describing Ali sitting under a tree and the opened watermelon with gold coins in it. Ask them: ‘What’s occurring in the picture?’ and say: ‘Ali’s got a magic watermelon!’ and then ask about the rich man: ‘What’s he doing?’ etc.
