The first term focuses on language for Child Rights and Responsibilities through listening and speaking. Students master Sound Recognition, identifying specific sounds and phrases from oral narratives and using theme-related vocabulary to build sentences. Another critical area is Creative Writing, where students explore Narrative Structure. Learners practice brainstorming themes, characters, and settings using mind maps, and begin drafting the introduction and setting for their own stories. The plans use interactive methods like ‘story chains’ and peer feedback sessions to build communication confidence and narrative fluency.
Assessment and Classroom Management
English is best taught through active interaction; encourage students to use new vocabulary in role-plays and keep a weekly writing journal. Refer to age-appropriate digital resources and textbooks to provide diverse comprehension materials. For assessments, follow national guidelines suggesting dictation, reading fluency checks, and peer reviews of story drafts. Keeping an organized record of these tasks is vital for your professional records and simplifies your reporting process.
