The main idea is for the students to work on their English through interacting with the story, whether it is presented as a listening or a reading. Below are the materials provided and some suggested steps (see SUGGESTED APPROACH for more details) to follow but feel free to modify them to better adapt the activities to the students you have and your teaching style.
| SETTING THE SCENE | Students become orientated to the story by extrapolating from its title, listening to a brief forward, looking at some new vocabulary and for a short time explore a few questions that lead into the narrated account. |
| QUESTIONS | The questions focus on extracting specific information as well as acquainting the students with some of the new vocabulary presented. They can accompany the reading or the listening form of the text. |
| THE STORY | The story can be given as a listening or a reading activity. See the links above for the manner of presentation you prefer. |
| LANGUAGE LOOK | This is a worksheet that contains 4 phrasal verbs, a look at how the language can be used and an expression or two. |
| DISCUSSION THEMES | After having gone through the story, the students speak about the events in the story and some of the issues that were brought up. |
