3.1++Pre-Task

=__Activity 1. Storytelling__=
 * ======Here you can find a short story to expain to your pupils. In this story you have to make pupils believe that you have had a **problem about feelings** (in this case, the puzzle problem) and show them how did you feel. It's compulsory to use images so, it doesn't matter if you don't use a prezzi or a power point, but you have to use images. Then the students have to **invent a solution** to solve your problem. They have to make groups of 5 and discuss the solution with all the members of the group in order to find a solution to propose. They have to write the solutions in a piece of paper and explain them in front of the class (as a teacher, you can make them questions about feelings and emotions). In each group there must be a __leader__ (the one who organizes the discussion and make all the members of the group speak in english), a __secretary__ (who writes the ideas and the solution) and a __presenter__ (who explains their proposal to the other students). ======


 * ======Here you can find the PowerPoint that could help you to make this activity a visual one. **You have the story on the notes of each slide **. Pay attention to this point! ======




 *  When students are explaining their solution, please, try not to interrupt them. When they finish the explanation, make them questions about feelings. Here you have some examples of questions that may help you:

- Do you think that the little boy was mad? - Was the mother tense when the boy refused her help? - Did the boy feel happy when his mother tried to help him? Why do you think that? - How are the boy and the mother feeling in your solution?


 *  After their explanation, give them this checklist as a self-assessment. Use it with the written story as assessment of this activity.

Also you can use this rubric to assess the activity, it's just another way to assess the storytelling.
