Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Take learners though a few pages of a big book (picture walk). Have learners predict what the story will be using the pictures in the book. Read aloud the narrative story related to the theme (Little David and Goliath). Use the Story Map strategy (follow procedure as in Appendix 1, K2.3.2.1.3). Learners answer the story map questions. E.g. What is the setting of the story? who are the characters? what is the problem in the story? what did the character(s) do to solve the problem? How was the problem solved? Focus on what we can learn from the biblical character.
