Reading Fairy tales…with a twist

Level

What level is your class suitable for? What tenses are used – would your sts know these? Are there any idioms or phrasal verbs that will need explaining?

Age range

Is it suitable for younger children, teenagers or adults, or all ages? Explain before you start your class.

Resource for main activity

Think of a well-known fairy tale which will be the basis of your class, but rewrite parts of it so that sts can’t guess what’s coming next. Depending on the level/age range you could use pictures or a storyboard style.

Set sts a task based on the text.

Steps

Make sure you include the following:

• Lead-in

• Pre-teach vocabulary

• Set task

• Check understanding

• Do Task

• Feedback

And explain what your follow-on activity would be
