Learning guide
Level: A1 Movers
Topic: A Week at Maplewood Puppet Theatre
Learning objectives: Identify people from spoken clothing, action and position clues; Listen for names, spelling, numbers and corrected details; Match activities to days and choose a final option from a short conversation; Follow simple colouring directions and write one familiar word.
Before you start: Look at the seven children and the activity pictures. Read the form labels. Prepare to write names, numbers and one word.
Teacher tip: Before replaying, ask learners which words helped them choose. For the picture tasks, have them point to the position before answering.
Listening strategy: Listen for the final detail when speakers change an idea or correct a guess. In Part 1, use clothes, actions and picture positions together. For names and numbers, listen for spelling and corrections. In the weekly plan, separate the day an activity happened from a day they mention for another reason. In picture choices, wait for the speaker’s final decision. For colouring, locate each object carefully; for the writing task, listen to the word for the sign.
