Double period
In view of the coming mid-year exam next week, I decided to carry out some beyond the text activities based on the poem "What has happened to Lulu?" My students surprised me with their response particularly the telephone conversation between Lulu and her mother! The following is the rough lesson plan:

For the role-play, provide the following situation:
THREE WEEKS LATER...
Three weeks have passed and nothing has been heard of Lulu.
Infact, she has found somewhere to live, made new friends and
found a job. She decides it is time to phone home. Why? She
doesn't intend to return yet. How will she feel as she dials?
What is her mother
doing when she calls? What is her reaction?
The students were given about 30 mins to prepare the telephone conversation. I need to compress the files first before uploading...perhaps in another post :)
Here's the link to the powerpoint I used.
Happy teaching!

| One group was able to rearrange the strips correctly based on the poem...quite challenging! |
 |
| Mind the dirty board! It could not be erased due to permanent ink... |
Those who can DO, Those who can do more TEACH
