Each of these sections is made up of activities. At the beginning of each lesson is a list of the things covered in the particular lesson.

At the end of each lesson there are remedial and extension activities, which may be completed if time allows.

Each lesson is broken down into activities. Some of these activities will be used as part of the formal assessment tasks. Refer to the portfolio book for the formal assessment tasks. Addendum A at the back of the study guide has the rubrics used to assess some of these tasks.

Look at the pictures below. Then retell the story your facilitator read to you in Activity 1.

Language structures and conventions Revise ‘a’ and ‘the’ with nouns Recap the use of articles before nouns: we use ‘a’ when referring to a thing, for example, ‘a boy’; and ‘the’ when referring to a specific boy.

Use the articles ‘a’ and ‘the’ before nouns when retelling the story.

Perform a short poem I am responsible for all that I do, from turning in work to making friends too.

It is up to me just how much I will learn, the grades that I get will be grades that I earn.

So now I will choose what is best for me.

I am responsible I hold the key!

Language structures and conventions Build on the use of proper nouns A name used for a specific person, place, thing or idea. Days, months and holidays always begin with a capital letter. For example, Kate, Belgium or Tuesday, 29 March.

•

Some basic reading strategies include: 1.

Skimming a text: You gaze over the text and look for important points (for example, the characters, theme, plot and setting).

2.

Phonic clues: The clues the sounds of the words give you. For example: “The chest sings ...” emphasises the singing sound, which means the chest must be magic.

3.

Contextual clues: The clues the context of the story gives you. For example: You know it must a kingdom because there is a queen.

1.

Skim the text and write down the characters and setting of the story.

A young queen received a special gift from a great wizard. It was a magic chest that would bring happiness to the whole kingdom whenever it was opened in a place where there was a spirit of generosity.

The queen travelled all over her kingdom, looking for the most generous people.

When she had collected them all, she opened the magic chest. Nothing happened.

That was until one day when, returning to her castle, the queen saw a poor little boy begging. The queen would have given the boy a few coins, but she didn’t have any with her.

“May I have the old chest to sell in town for a little money?” he asked. At first the queen hesitated because she had been told the chest was magic. But on seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the chest and opened it.

Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the chest, accompanied by the sound of singing: “Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself,” went the song.

And as well as enjoying all the wonders of the magic chest, the queen learnt to set an example in virtue, and she became the best queen to ever reign over that kingdom.

2.

Use phonic and contextual clues to help you find the meaning of the story.

Activity 6: Discuss new vocabulary Read the story again. Underline any unfamiliar words. Ask your facilitator to help you define new and unfamiliar words.
