Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Read a narrative text aloud to learners, following the procedure in B2.1.6.1.2.
- Put learners in groups to identify and talk about the parts of the drama (beginning, middle and ending). The first exemplar refers the teacher to "the procedure in B2.1.6.1.2", which is an indicator about talking about events at home, not a reading procedure; B2.1.7.1.1 is the indicator that sets out the before/during/after reading procedure.
