The Naughty Boy

There was a naughty boy,

And a naughty boy was he.

He ran away to Scotland,

The people there to see –

Then he found

That the ground

Was as hard,

That a yard

Was as long,

That a song

Was as merry,

That a cherry

Was as red,

That lead

Was as weighty,

That fourscore

Was as eighty,

That a door was as wooden

As in England—

So he stood in his shoes

And he wondered,

He wondered,

He stood in his shoes,

And he wondered.

Pinocchio

Once upon a time, an old carpenter bought a very

queer piece of wood. As he used his

plane

it,

heard

little

laughing voice say, “Stop!

You’re tickling me.”

The old man was

puzzled by the voice.

He said, “This

is a strange piece

of wood. What

shall I do with it?

I think I’ll make

it into a puppet.”

He set to

work, and as

the puppet

boy took

shape, the old man said, “He must have a name.

I will call him Pinocchio.”

As soon as he finished making the eyes, the

carpenter was amazed to see them move.

Before the mouth was made, it began to laugh.

1705

“Stop

laughing!” the

old man said.

It did stop,

but as soon as

his back was

turned, it put

out its tongue.

And its nose

grew long.

No sooner

were its hands ready than it snatched off the carpenter’s wig

and put it on its own head. And then Pinocchio’s nose grew

longer.

When its legs and feet were made, they were too stiff to

use, so the

carpenter showed

Pinocchio how to

use them.

Now, the

carpenter decided

to send Pinocchio

to school. But

there, Pinocchio

did nothing

but look

1714

for fun. He often ran away from school.

“Why don’t you go to school?” asked the

carpenter. Pinocchio told him a lie... and his nose

started growing longer and longer.

Each time he was rude to someone or told a

lie, his nose grew longer. Finally Pinocchio said,

Comprehension passage

Once a cunning jackal jumped into a big tub of blue dye.

“I am your king,” he said. All the animals, big and small

believed him and bowed before him. The clever jackal

smiled. Now he was the most powerful animal in the forest.

He was proud to be a king.

Once, the jackal woke up in the middle of the night. The

jackals in the forest were howling at the full moon in the

sky. The blue jackal forgot he was a king. He, too, began to

howl.

“Hu…aah! Hu…aah!” he cried.

The animals ran out to see. “He is not a king. He is just a

jackal!” they shouted. They rushed to attack him.

“Stop, stop! I am sorry I tricked you. Please do not kill

me!” said the blue jackal.

__________

Reading is fun

1. Why did the animals think that the jackal was a king?

2. How did the jackal become blue?

Unit 10

The Naughty Boy

Pinocchio

Story:

By this Unit the children would have enriched their vocabulary through

telling, retelling and reading aloud of poems, stories, folk tales in English.

They would also use appropriate spoken and written language in meaningful

contents/situations. Give children opportunities to listen to sound/sound

techniques and appreciate the rhythm and music of rhymes – sounds.

Teachers in the entire country welcome puppets into the classroom, they

preserve traditions and make them a vital part of everyday learning. Puppets

can be used to explain, describe, direct, tell stories, ask questions and create

dramatic situations where children respond.

Puppets can provide children with many opportunities to expand language

skills and challenge their imaginations. Students can develop confidence

talking through the characters of puppets.

Transference of

observation about each child in your group is relevant. We are giving you a

mere guideline to follow. This

language

one

language

two

assessment

should be more on the patterns of –

1. your observation of the child as an individual and as a team member in a

group.

2. determining the cause of the child’s school-related difficulties.

3. understanding her/his individual learning style.

4. consultation with parents/other teachers to review assessment

findings and determining an appropriate intervention plan.

Areas to assess children for

1. Warm up time Getting prepared for class

2. Listening time Listening to the teacher

3. Reading time

4. Sharing time Speaking their thoughts

5. Creative time Creating their own space

6. Language corner Writing their own script
