Big Cleaning Teacher sweeps away the story on the board, first showing 2 items on the board and then asking which item she should sweep away.

Teacher and students then work together to write the word correctly next to the drawing. Tell and read with us Students tell the story through specific questions from the teacher. Teacher writes what the students say (in the target language) and projects this on the board so students can read along and see how the story is rebuilt. Estafette with words The students write down 5 words they remembered from the story. Then the teacher divides the class into 3 groups. In each group a list is made with the words of all students (but each word can only be listed once). Teacher indicates beforehand who in each group has to write down (this person has to write clearly so the others can read it). Meanwhile, teacher makes 3 columns on the board. The students of the 3 groups stand in a row (one after the other). The first student of each group takes the list with the words and gets a chalk or a marker. On a signal from the teacher he/she runs to the board and writes the 1 st word of the list on the board. Then he/she runs back to the group as fast as possible and passes the list + chalk / marker to the 2 nd student who in turn runs to the board and writes the next word on the board. After about 5 minutes the teacher gives the signal to stop. Based on "I told a story, now what? " by Megan HAYES - Adapted by Marijke RENNEBOOG and Janique VANDERSTOCKEN.
