INTRODUCTION

Introduction Welcome to the new edition of our Cambridge Global English series.

Since its launch, the series has been used by teachers and learners in over 100 countries for teaching the Cambridge Lower Secondary English as a Second Language curriculum framework (0876) from 2020.

This exciting new edition has been designed by talking to Global English teachers all over the world.

We have worked hard to understand your needs and challenges, and then carefully designed and tested the best ways of meeting them.

FT

As a result of this research, we’ve made some important changes to the series, while retaining the international and cross-curricular elements which you told us you valued. This Teacher’s Resource has been carefully redesigned to make it easier for you to plan and teach the course. It is available in print for all Stages.

The series still has extensive digital and online support, including Digital Classroom which lets you share books with your class and play videos and audio. This Teacher’s Resource also offers additional materials, including tests, available to download from Cambridge GO. (For more information on how to access and use your digital resource, please see inside front cover.)

A

The series uses successful teaching approaches like active learning and metacognition and takes a 21st-century skills approach, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills.

This Teacher’s Resource gives you full guidance on how to integrate them into your classroom.

Formative assessment opportunities help you to get to know your learners better, with clear learning intentions and success criteria as well as an array of assessment techniques, including advice on self and peer assessment. This Teacher’s Resource also includes example responses to writing tasks, together with comments from the authors to help you and your learners understand what ‘good’ looks like.

R

Clear, consistent differentiation ensures that all learners are able to progress in the course with tiered activities, differentiated worksheets, open-ended project tasks and advice about supporting learners’ different needs.

All our resources are written for teachers and learners who use English as a second or additional language. In this edition of Global English we focus on four aspects of language:

D

• there is more grammar presentation and practice in the Workbook and on the Digital Classroom • we have introduced scaffolded writing lessons with models of a range of text types • we have included a range of literature

• and we have worked to ease the transition between stages, especially between primary and secondary.

We hope you enjoy using this course.

FT

Learning objective

There are often common misconceptions associated with particular grammar points. These are listed, along with suggestions for identifying evidence of the misconceptions in your class and suggestions for how to overcome them. At Cambridge University Press, we have unique access to the Cambridge Learner Corpus to help us identify common errors for key language groups.

Misconception

How to identify

Ask questions, e.g.: How do you form the past tense of e.g. walk, paint, talk? Do we do the same with e.g. speak, choose, say?

How do you make the past tense of these three verbs?

R

A

Learners may wrongly think that all verbs in English are regular and so they add -ed to both regular and irregular verbs.

How to overcome

Practise using the irregular forms of verbs. Write the base form of regular and irregular verbs on the board. Ask learners to write the correct past forms.

Make a poster.

Learners classify the verbs into two columns: regular and irregular, and fill in the verbs as they appear in the unit.

D

For each lesson, there is a selection of starter ideas, main teaching ideas and plenary ideas.

You can pick out individual ideas and mix and match them depending on the needs of your class. The activities include suggestions for how they can be differentiated or used for assessment.

Homework ideas are also provided.

Starter ideas

Main teaching ideas

Discussion (10–15 minutes)

1 Work with a partner. Match the definitions to the words. (15 minutes)

•

• •

Ask the class: How many words for family members can you remember in thirty seconds?

Elicit as many as possible.

Show a photo of your family and speak briefly about it.

Ask learners to show their photos and talk about their families. Have they always lived in the same town or city?

•

Focus on the words in the topic vocabulary box and ask the class to explain the meanings in their own words or with examples.

•

Ask them to read the definitions and match them to the correct words.

•

Ask learners to compare their answers with a partner.

LANGUAGE BACKGROUND The Language background feature contains information to help you present the grammar in the unit.

The use of ‘s /s’ to indicate possession This form of the possessive can be confusing to speakers of languages other than English.

• In English, you usually show that something belongs to someone by adding ‘s to a noun or the name of the person: My father’s car is over there.

Jennifer’s brother is now living in Australia.

FT

CROSS-CURRICULAR LINKS

The Cross-curricular links feature provides suggestions for linking to other subject areas.

Geography: Show a map of the world and help learners locate Paris, New York City, Greece and Troy.

ABOUT THE CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

About the curriculum framework

R TAB FC T

The information in this section is based on the Cambridge Primary Mathematics curriculum framework (0057) from 2020. You should always refer to the appropriate curriculum framework document for the year of your learners' examination to confirm the details and for more information.

Visit www.cambridgeinternational.org/primary to find out more.

The Cambridge Primary Mathematics curriculum framework from 2020 has been designed to encourage the development of mathematical fluency and ensure a deep understanding of key mathematical concepts. There is an emphasis on key skills and strategies for solving mathematical problems and encouraging the communication of mathematical knowledge in written form and through discussion.

At the Primary level, it is divided into three major strands: • • •

Number Geometry and Measure Statistics and Probability.

Algebra is introduced as a further strand in the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics curriculum framework.

Underpinning all of these strands is a set of Thinking and Working Mathematically characteristics that will encourage students to interact with concepts and questions. These characteristics are present in questions, activities and projects in this series. For more information, see the Introduction toThinking and Working Mathematically section in this resource, or find further information on the Cambridge Assessment International Education website.

A curriculum framework correlation document (mapping the Cambridge Primary Mathematics resources to the learning objectives) and scheme of work are available to download from Cambridge GO (as part of this Teacher's Resource).

CAMBRIDGE GLOBAL ENGLISH 7: TEACHER’S RESOURCE

Approaches to teaching and learning Active learning

FT

The following are the teaching approaches underpinning our course content and how we understand and define them.

Active learning is a teaching approach that places student learning at its centre. It focuses on how students learn, not just on what they learn. We, as teachers, need to encourage learners to ‘think hard’, rather than passively receive information. Active learning encourages learners to take responsibility for their learning and supports them in becoming independent and confident learners in school and beyond.

Assessment for Learning

R

A

Assessment for Learning (AfL) is a teaching approach that generates feedback which can be used to improve learners’ performance. Learners become more involved in the learning process and, from this, gain confidence in what they are expected to learn and to what standard. We, as teachers, gain insights into a learner’s level of understanding of a particular concept or topic, which helps to inform how we support their progression.

Differentiation

D

Differentiation is usually presented as a teaching approach where teachers think of learners as individuals and learning as a personalised process. While precise definitions can vary, typically the core aim of differentiation is viewed as ensuring that all learners, no matter their ability, interest or context, make progress towards their learning intentions. It is about using different approaches and appreciating the differences in learners to help them make progress. Teachers therefore need to be responsive, and willing and able to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of their learners.

Language awareness For many learners, English is an additional language. It might be their second or perhaps their third language. Depending on the school context, students might be learning all or just some of their subjects through English.

For all learners, regardless of whether they are learning through their first language or an additional language, language is a vehicle for learning. It is through language that students access the learning intentions of the lesson and communicate their ideas. It is our responsibility, as teachers, to ensure that language doesn’t present a barrier to learning.

APPROACHES TO TEACHING AND LEARNING

Metacognition Metacognition describes the processes involved when learners plan, monitor, evaluate and make changes to their own learning behaviours. These processes help learners to think about their own learning more explicitly and ensure that they are able to meet a learning goal that they have identified themselves or that we, as teachers, have set.

Skills for Life

FT

How do we prepare learners to succeed in a fast-changing world? To collaborate with people from around the globe? To create innovation as technology increasingly takes over routine work?

To use advanced thinking skills in the face of more complex challenges? To show resilience in the face of constant change? At Cambridge, we are responding to educators who have asked for a way to understand how all these different approaches to life skills and competencies relate to their teaching. We have grouped these skills into six main Areas of Competency that can be incorporated into teaching, and have examined the different stages of the learning journey and how these competencies vary across each stage.

These six key areas are:

Creativity – finding new ways of doing things, and solutions to problems Collaboration – the ability to work well with others Communication – speaking and presenting confidently and participating effectively in meetings Critical thinking – evaluating what is heard or read, and linking ideas constructively Learning to learn – developing the skills to learn more effectively Social responsibilities – contributing to social groups, and being able to talk to and work with people from other cultures.

SETTING UP FOR SUCCESS

Setting up for success Our aim is to support better learning in the classroom with resources that allow for increased learner autonomy while supporting teachers to facilitate student learning. Through an active learning approach of enquiry-led tasks, open-ended questions and opportunities to externalise thinking in a variety of ways, learners will develop analysis, evaluation and problem-solving skills.

Some ideas to consider to encourage an active learning environment are as follows: Set up seating to make group work easy.

•

Create classroom routines to help learners to transition between different types of activity efficiently, e.g. move from pair work to listening to the teacher to independent work.

•

Source mini-whiteboards, which allow you to get feedback from all learners rapidly.

•

Start a portfolio for each learner, keeping key pieces of work to show progress at parent–teacher days.

•

Have a display area with learner work and vocab flashcards.

FT

Planning for active learning

A

We recommend the following approach to planning. A blank lesson plan template is available to download to help with this approach.

1 Plan learning intentions and success criteria: These are the most important features of the lesson.

Teachers and learners need to know where they are going in order to plan a route to get there.

R

2 Plan language support: Think about strategies to help learners overcome the language demands of the lesson so that language doesn’t present a barrier to learning.

3 Plan starter activities: Include a ‘hook’ or starter to engage learners using imaginative strategies.

This should be an activity where all learners are active from the start of the lesson.

D

4 Plan main activities: During the lesson, try to: give clear instructions, with modelling and written support; coordinate logical and orderly transitions between activities; make sure that learning is active and all learners are engaged; create opportunities for discussion around key concepts.

5 Plan assessment for learning and differentiation: Use a wide range of Assessment for Learning techniques and adapt activities to a wide range of abilities. Address misconceptions at appropriate points and give meaningful oral and written feedback which learners can act on.

6 Plan reflection and plenary: At the end of each activity and at the end of each lesson, try to: ask learners to reflect on what they have learned compared to the beginning of the lesson; build on and extend this learning.

7 Plan homework: If setting homework, it can be used to consolidate learning from the previous lesson or to prepare for the next lesson.

To help planning using this approach, a blank lesson plan template is available to download from Cambridge GO (as part of this Teacher's Resource). There are also examples of completed lesson plans.

REMEMBER UNIT

Remember unit The purpose of this unit is to revise the forms and tenses of verbs and of the most important features of punctuation that learners will have covered in their English lessons up to this point. Each section consists of a simple explanation followed by an exercise, to reassure learners that they have a good basic knowledge of the language.

The unit can be used in several ways. Here are some suggestions.

•

•

Answers 1 a work b ’m having c ’re watching d ’m not using e doesn’t eat

FT

•

Introduce each grammar point and allow learners to complete the exercises that follow. Check and correct as they are working. This would suit a class in which the level of the learners is roughly the same.

Allow the class to work through the unit at their own pace, monitoring and correcting as they are working. This would be more suitable for a class where learners are working at a variety of levels. Some learners will finish before others, so you will need to have an extra activity or two to occupy them. For example, they could be asked to take each of the grammar points in turn and write a sentence that is true for them, to exemplify that point.

Start the unit in class and ask learners to do the remainder, up to and including Exercise 8, for homework. In the following lesson, check their work (this might be a good opportunity to introduce or reintroduce peer assessment), and then move on to Exercises 9 and 10.

If you find that some learners need more practice of a particular point when you are working on the main body of the book, refer them back to the relevant section of this Remember unit for additional practice.

The Trojan Horse is a story from the war between the Greeks and the Trojans. After ten years of war against the Trojans, the Greeks could not conquer the city of Troy, so they built a huge wooden horse and a few soldiers hid inside. The Greeks left the horse at the gates of the city and pretended to sail away in their ships. The Trojans took the horse into the city and went to sleep. That night the Greek army returned, and the soldiers got out of the horse and opened the gates of the city to it. The Greeks entered the city and destroyed it.

Fabergé eggs. Between 1885 and 1917, the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé and his company produced a series of eggs made of precious materials, for example gold and precious stones.

The most famous were made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II. They were called the ‘Imperial’ Fabergé eggs and they were presents for the royal family. Fabergé made about 52 imperial eggs; 46 can be seen in museums or belong to private collections. No one knows where the others are.

TEACHING SKILLS FOCUS

Assessment for Learning Assessment for Learning is looking for and interpreting evidence of learning that you can then use to help learners learn better, or that learners themselves can use to improve their learning by means of a self-reflection process. This formative assessment helps you to identify where the learners

are now in terms of the learning objectives, to diagnose what you need to do to help them overcome difficulties, to give feedback and to allow learners time to make the necessary changes.

Strategies that constitute Assessment for Learning: • pre-assess students to determine their current level

Common misconceptions

Reflection • Parents and school authorities may not see a need for Assessment for Learning. How can you convey the importance of this form of assessment to them?

• What opportunities for correction and opportunities to try again can I introduce in my lessons as a result of Assessment for Learning?

FT

Your challenge Look through Unit 2 and highlight opportunities for introducing strategies that are part of Assessment for Learning.

As you continue with the following units, tick off the relevant points where you might apply strategies that constitute Assessment for Learning.

Some strategies or approaches are useful in certain contexts but not in others. What forms of assessment for learning can be used during those lessons?

How to identify

How to overcome

Learners may wrongly think that all verbs in English are regular and so they add -ed to both regular and irregular verbs.

Ask questions, for example: How do you form the past tense of e.g. walk, paint, talk? Do we do the same with e.g. speak, choose, say? How do you make the past tense of these three verbs?

Practise using the irregular forms of verbs. Write the base form of regular and irregular verbs on the board. Ask learners to write the correct past forms.

Make a poster.

Learners classify the verbs into two columns: regular and irregular, and fill in the verbs as they appear in the unit.

R

A

Misconception

Focus on the sentences and make sure learners understand the meaning: Is it an obligation, a necessity? What is the correct or best thing to do?

Practise making sentences and asking learners to explain the intention of each, e.g. Is this necessary? Is it the right thing to do? Which modal do we use then?

Learners quite often use the wrong relative pronoun.

Focus on the pronoun and ask, for example: Are we talking about a person, a thing, a place, etc.?

Circle the pronoun and elicit answers.

Write the relative pronouns on the board. Ask learners to write what we use them for, e.g. Who = people, Where = places, etc.

D

Learners may use other modals instead of ‘should’.

If you have a multicultural class, you may take advantage of the situation and ask learners to teach their peers how to say hello and goodbye in their language.

c Which words and phrases are for friends and family? Which would you use with your teachers? (10 minutes)

Digital Classroom: Use the video ‘Meeting and greeting’ to introduce the topic of greetings. The i button will explain how to use the video.

•

Ask learners if they use the same language with friends and with adults. Is there any difference in the use of everyday language (not just in meetings and greetings), for example between adults in the family and adults outside the family, teachers, etc.?

•

Give a few examples, such as asking a parent to give them something and asking a teacher, using sir and madam. Encourage learners to provide their own examples.

•

Focus on the different forms of greetings.

In pairs, learners discuss and decide, for example bye is for friends and family but not for teachers, goodbye is for teachers and for friends and family too.

Assessment idea: Ask the class to do a K-W-L (KnowWant to know-Learned) exercise. Draw a table on the board. Label each column as shown:

It is important to tell to the class that they do not need to read the text in detail in order to do this exercise. Explain that they need to ‘scan’ the text; that is, read the text quickly in order to find specific information that will help them, for example words such as ‘horse’ or ‘egg’, which will help relate the pictures to the text. Learners need to learn different ways of approaching a text and understand that choosing how to read is an important step in building effective reading skills.

R

Critical thinking opportunity: Ask learners to describe the picture of the egg. Encourage them to speculate, for example Have they ever seen one like that? What would they use it for? Who was this gift for? From whom? Why did this person receive this gift?

Encourage learners to speculate in the same way about the other gifts.

•

Tell learners they are going to read a text to find out about the pictures. Explain that they do not need to focus on new words, but on the general content.

D

•

•

It might be interesting for learners whose language is written in a different alphabet from English, for example Japanese or Greek, to compare the characters employed in writing each word. They can compare the words written in English with a few other alphabets.

•

You may ask learners to add more words related to war/independence, for example declaration, peace, treaty.

•

Ask the class to work in pairs or small groups and write rules to remember how to use the past simple in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

•

When they have finished, they can share their rules with the class.

5 Discuss these questions, giving reasons for your answers. (15–20 minutes) You can do this as a Think-Pair-Share exercise.

Learners work individually and think about the questions. Then, they discuss the questions in pairs.

Finally, they share their ideas with the class.

Answers Regular: sailed, pulled, waited, remained

Critical thinking opportunity: Learners are not going to find the answers to these questions in the text because they are higher-order thinking questions; that is, they put advanced cognitive demands on learners as they encourage them to think beyond literal questions. In order to come up with an answer, learners are required to think deeply about the questions, make inferences and draw conclusions.

Irregular: was/were, had, built, left, thought, got, became

Assessment idea: While groups are working, you may appoint an observer. The role of the observer is to note down how the groups are performing against the rules about the use of the past simple they have written, for example someone forgot to use ‘did’ in a question, or made an irregular verb regular, etc. They write down the incorrect question or sentence. Explain that they don’t need to note down who made the mistake but rather what kind of mistake was made.

2 Listen again. Here are the interviewer’s questions. How do Razia and Sandeep answer them? (10–15 minutes) •

Focus on the questions. Tell learners to listen again very carefully to find the answers to these questions. Tell them that they can make notes to remember the answers.

Play the audio a few times. Discuss the answers with the class.

•

Cultural differences: Notice that the interviewer and Sandeep use the word present, which means the same as gift. In British English, present is much more common than gift; gift is used on more formal occasions and in American English.

•

You may wish to ask learners to discuss their answers in pairs before sharing them with the class.

This will give less confident learners the opportunity to revise what they have done and to ‘rehearse’ their answers before sharing them publicly.

3 Work in groups. You’re going to do a radio interview, like the one in Exercise 1. (15–20 minutes) •

Tell the class that they are going to conduct a radio interview. Divide the class into pairs and ask learners to choose their role.

Encourage them to use some of the phrases in the box. Tell learners that these are useful phrases to keep the conversation going and to show that they are listening actively. You may wish to explain what active listening is and why it is important.

Critical thinking opportunity: Encourage learners to identify the potential difficulties they expect to have when doing this exercise, for example are they linguistic? Is it lack of vocabulary? of ideas?

Ask them to think how they can overcome the difficulties. Discuss as a class. Thinking about and voicing the problems they may encounter, and then planning ahead how to solve those problems, are useful learning strategies.

LANGUAGE BACKGROUND

The use of ‘s /s’ to indicate possession This form of the possessive can be confusing to speakers of languages other than English.

• In English, you usually show that something belongs to someone by adding ‘s to a noun or the name of the person: My father’s car is over there.

Jennifer’s brother is now living in Australia.

• ‘s can also be added to a noun referring to an animal: The vet cleaned and bandaged the wound on the horse’s leg.

• ‘s is also used to show that something belongs or is associated with a group of people or an institution: It’s the school’s responsibility to keep the buildings clean and comfortable.

LANGUAGE BACKGROUND

Past simple vs present perfect We use the simple past when the action started and finished in the past and we know exactly when it happened: I was in Paris last year/in November/two years ago.

We also use the past simple to talk about regular or habitual events in the past: When I was a child, I played in the street with my friends.

Sometimes we don’t need to use a time expression because when we know the time:

Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. (We know that he did this a long time ago.)

We use the present perfect when the action started in the past and continues up to now or to talk about an event that has finished in the very recent past. The time is not important. Either it is not mentioned or we use time expressions such as ever, never, before, already, just, yet, so far, up until now: I’ve been to Paris three times so far.

School discussion (15 minutes)

• • •

Ask learners what memories they have of their early years at school. Did they attend the same school during all the years of primary? What memories do they have of teachers and schoolmates?

Do learners all come from the same primary school?

If not, how do their primary schools compare?

Ask them if they had schoolmates of different nationalities. If yes, where were they from?

Ask the class: What are the main differences between your secondary school and your primary school? Ask them to think about the subjects they do, the school day, the size of the school, the classrooms and activities outside lessons. Elicit ideas.

Main teaching ideas

Learners read the texts and decide. Encourage them to give reasons to support their decision.

Remind learners to use context to understand the meaning of new words. Tell them to look for and circle words or phrases that show the attitude of the students.

When they have finished, ask learners to work in pairs and discuss what they have circled.

4 Before you listen, read the questions in the survey. Who do you think wrote the survey? Who is going to answer it?

(5 minutes) •

•

Learners go through the survey questions in pairs or small groups and predict who wrote them and who will answer. Then they share their impressions with the class.

Take advantage of this exercise to predict the vocabulary they will hear in the audio and some of the content. This will make it easier for learners to understand what they hear.

•

Play the audio at least twice for learners to familiarise themselves with the content and find the answers to the question.

They check if their predictions were correct.

Ask what helped them decide, for example some key vocabulary.

Learning to learn: Learners generally try to understand everything they hear and are sometimes frustrated when they cannot.

Ask them to focus only on finding the answer to the question.

Play the audio, pausing after the answers to each question.

•

You may ask learners to take notes of the answers to discuss later. When they have finished, they may compare Anisha’s and Felipe’s experiences.

Differentiation idea: More confident learners may not need so much support prior to doing the exercise. However, less confident learners will benefit greatly from this scaffolding, as it will help them plan the task. You can assist them by asking them what difficulties they think they might have and encouraging them to think of possible solutions.

Critical thinking opportunity: Note-taking is a useful skill to develop, as learners have to make judgements about what information is really necessary to record and concentrate only on key ideas.

•

When they have finished, ask learners to report back to the class. They may collect results and see how many have given similar answers, which school subjects or sports are the most popular, etc.

TEACHING SKILLS FOCUS

Differentiated assessment This method of assessment should be a continuation of the type of differentiation we use in a unit. Therefore, it should be linked to: • the method of performance during practice of a skill • the learners’ level of cognitive ability • the learners’ skill level.

Some informal assessment ideas The most common way is to give learners some questions to respond to, for example: • What is the most important thing you have learned in this lesson?

• What important question do you have that is still unanswered?

Common misconceptions

Your challenge Look through Unit 2 and highlight opportunities for introducing differentiated assessment.

As you continue with the following units, tick off the relevant points where you can differentiate assessment. Can you think of the most effective way to differentiate assessment in each case? How will learners react to this form of assessment?

Reflection • What do I need to take into account to introduce differentiated assessment in my class?

• What do I need to do to introduce portfolio assessment in my class?

FT

• What was the most difficult part of the lesson/ discussion/homework?

• How can you apply this knowledge to the real world?

Portfolios are an effective way of getting learners to revisit their work and think about ways of improving it. Many learners usually do their homework, hand it in, check the grade when they get it back and forget about it. A portfolio is a useful collection of work that shows progress and achievement over a period of time. If designed carefully, it may motivate learners, provide examples of work to parents and teachers, chart learners’ growth and engage them in self-reflection.

How to identify

How to overcome

Learners use the wrong preposition, e.g. The meeting is in 20th June. Are you open in lunchtimes? I’m afraid I can only make it on July.

Write examples on the board.

Ask questions, e.g. what do we use with days and dates/months/ times, etc.? Circle the preposition.

Draw a three column chart on the board or on a large sheet of paper.

Write on top of each column: at for a precise time; in for months, years, centuries and long periods; on for days and dates. Ask learners to give examples for each and write them in the correct column.

R

A

Misconception

D

Learners use the wrong participle to form the adjective, e.g. I’m really frightening of spiders.

Learners use the wrong punctuation in non-defining relative clauses.

Write the wrong sentences on the board. Ask: Are you afraid of spiders or do you frighten the spiders?

Explain the difference in the meaning of -ed and -ing adjectives.

Try to make them funny enough so they’re memorable, e.g. I’m bored/I’m boring. Learners circle or underline the adjectives and say what they mean.

Write an example of a defining and a non-defining relative clause. For each sentence, ask: Is this information essential to understand who/what we are talking about? Or is it additional information? Can I delete this and still understand who or what I’m referring to? Then consider: What other difference is there? (Such as the use of the comma). In which sentence do we use a comma?

Write on the board a few defining and non-defining clauses without commas. Ask learners to underline the clauses and decide if they are giving essential or extra information. They put in the commas as necessary.

Starter ideas

Favourite poems (15 minutes) •

•

Ask the class if they ever read poems. If they do, ask what their favourite ones are. Invite volunteers to tell the class about them.

If learners do not read poems, ask them why. Is there a special reason or is it just that they haven’t had the opportunity?

Critical thinking opportunity: Have a few poems of different kinds available and ask learners to read them.

Which do they like most? Why? What do they find

interesting about the poem? For example, images, sound of words, etc. Ask them to read the poems aloud. How is it different from reading silently? How do they feel when they hear a poem read aloud? What words do they like the sound of most?

CROSS-CURRICULAR LINK Literature: Ask learners to define what a poem is. How is it different from a story? Elicit ideas: written in verse, verses may rhyme or not, the topics can be very different, for example love, pain, sadness, events, etc.
