Warm-up and Objective Discussion

Introduce the title ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’. Ask students if they have ever heard the
story before. Explain that the original story was written by The Brothers Grimm. Provide some
information on the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales. Explain that the story they will listen to is
being retold by the author based on the story by The Brothers Grimm. Remind students that
fairy tales has a central message, or lesson. Discuss the lessons learned in familiar fairy tales.

Bottom-up Process:
Explain to students that they are going to listen to the story to identify the central message, or
lesson. Tell students to pay close attention to listen for details that help them identify the
central message.

Stop the story at appropriate parts to: discuss the characters’ actions and feelings; make
predictions; clear up any misconceptions.

Top- Dow Process:


Central Message: Ask students to seat in groups and think about what they believe the central
message is – what is the author trying to teach us?

Guided Practice ❑ R ⌧ W ⌧ L ❑ S

In order to help them to get the key concepts; present the Cornell Method modelling an
example using a passage of any other fairy tale.
Tongue Twister: We will practice tongue twister in a telephone game where each student
whispers the phrase to the next. I’ll present some options of tongue twister for Asian and
Spanish speakers. Asian language speakers often confuse the ‘L’ and ‘R’. Spanish
speakers frequently pronounce ‘B’ and ‘V’ the same way. Below some examples:

Asian:
Red lorry, yellow lorry
Truly rural
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream
Rolling red wagons
Red blood, bad blood

Spanish:
Blue blurry vines blind
Betty loves the velvet vest best
Barber baby bubbles and a bumblebee
Burnt base, vicious vase
Vivacious Val vacuumed Violet’s very vivid vehicle

Independent Practice ⌧R ⌧W ⌧ L ⌧ S

Choose three details that support the central message and add them to the graphic organizer.

The group will present their ideas to the other classmates, but before that, I will suggest a
strategy: they will be asked to practice in pairs and ask for feedback (grammar and
pronunciation), so they will be more prepared to present their ideas to me and for the
others. If necessary they can also take notes (like a script) and they can use it to recall
any information.

Assessment ❑ R ⌧W ⌧L ❑ S

Provide a list of famous fairy tales: The Little Mermaid; The Twelve Dancing Princesses; Ali
Baba and the forty Thieves and Hansel and Gretel. At home, they will choose one of them
practice the listening skills, listening to the story and writing down their comprehension using
the Cornel Method. They will have to hand me these notes next class. Remember them; that
they can listen and stop as many times as needed.
