Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In pairs, learners use words acquired from the read-aloud text to teach each other how to avoid accidents occurring from fire, electricity, sharp objects, crossing the road. E.g. Don't go near, Don't touch electrical wires. Using "Show and tell" have learners pick drawn cut out objects that can cause accidents and tell how they can keep safe from that object. Have learners match objects with their related accidents they can cause
