ENGLISH READING: THE GRUFFALO
Como sabemos el inglés se está haciendo cada vez más importante en nuestras aulas. Desde pequeños los niños tienen la asignatura de inglés presente en el aula y una actividad muy buena para trabajarlo es mediante lecturas comprensivas.
Los pasos de la actividad sería los siguientes:
1. Leer el texto a los alumnos
2. Darles una copia y que la lean a solas.
3. Hacer otra lectura lectura en alto pero esta vez por los alumnos, irán leyendo una frase cada uno. Además si tienen dudas con algún vocabulario será el momento de aclararlo.
4.Comenzar con la parte de preguntas. Esta parte se puede hacer grupal o individual, según como quieras desarrollar la actividad.
5. Una vez respondidas las actividades se hará un último repaso sobre lo leído.
La lectura y actividades que os propongo son las siguientes:
The Gruffalo
One snowy night when the Gruffalo snored. The Gruffalo’s child was feeling bored.
The Gruffalo’s Child was feeling brave so she tiptoed out of the gruffalo cave.
The snow fell fast and the wind blew wild. Into the wood went the Gruffalo’s child.
Aha! Oho! A trail in the snow! Whose is this trail and where does it go?
A tail poked out of a logpile house. Could this be the tail of the Big Bad Mouse?
Out slid the creature. His eyes were small. And he didn’t have whiskers – no, none at all.
“You’re not the Mouse.””Not I, said the snake.
“He’s down by the lake – eating gruffalo cake.
The snow fell fast and the wind blew wild. “I’m not scared,” said the Gruffalo’s child.
Aha! Oho! Marks in the snow!
Whose are these claw marks? Where do they go?
Two eyes gleamed out of the treetop house. Could these be the eyes of the Big Bad Mouse?
Down flew the creature. His tail was short And he didn’t have whiskers of any sort.
“You’re not the Mouse. “ Toowhoo, not I,
But he’s somewhere nearby, eating Gruffalo pie.”
The snow fell fast and the wind blew wild.
I’m not scared said the Gruffalo’s child.
