Pre-teaching

The teacher presents a Word cloud:

https://tagul.com/cloud/1 : with the shape of a fox














 Then in order each children has to say one of the words that she/he can read and try to say the meaning of it (they have to tray not no repeat the words other have already said)
The ones that they don’t now we will highlight to look for them first in the book context and if not in the dictionary.


Actual teaching

As the book is divided in chapters we will read one each lesson, and if it’s very short maybe 2.
I recommend this division for beginners or elementary, more or less each class they will read around 4 pages of the book. If we see that it’s easy for them and they have plenty of time for the post-teaching we can join chapters.

1.       Chapters 1 and 2: main characters
2.       Chapter 3
3.       Chapter 4
4.       Chapter 5
5.       Chapter 6
6.       Chapter 7-8
7.       Chapter 9
8.       Chapter 10
9.       Chapter 11-12
10.   Chapter 13
11.   Chapter 14-15
12.   Chapter 16
13.   Chapter 17-18


Post-teaching

Each class:

The idea is that though the programs of vocaro and Voki each class after reading the have to make the new characters that appear and they have to tell as what has happened in that chapter.

For example at the beginning they have to create the main characters and they will talk about themselves (description)

Example of voki: Mr. Fox - I just made a new Voki. See it here:

If you are not able to enter in this page I post the video but is not in a high quality.




Then in other chapters they can talk about their feeling or their pints or view…

Last class:

With mindmodo they have to make a plan to achieve the goal of Mr. Fox of making the great fest. For this they have to use settings or character’s name and vocabulary as linking words in the mind map. (It will be free for imagination)
The thing is that they look again the book and work with the vocabulary.
This is a simple example where they work with some settings and food.
