Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Take learners through before reading activities to activate pupils' previous knowledge on the theme. Read aloud a narrative story of the girl who felt disappointed for not catching the moon. Ask factual and inferential questions about the book. E.g. Why was it difficult for the girl to catch the moon? Have the learners relate the story to their lives. Learners brainstorm some other lights that we cannot catch or touch. Learners answer more factual and inference questions on the text.
Write some sentences, cut them up and have learners count the words in the cut-up sentences and rearrange them to form sentences. Assign the learners the task of finding out more examples (a project) on the different types of light that we can classify as natural and man-made lights.
