4.6 Guide: Being a Kid
1. The Little Match Girl - storytelling
In case you don't know the story, it is here: https://class.litvill.com/lessons/4-6-2-match-girls/
Ask the learner to tell the story in 5 sentences. Example:
- A little girl sold matches in the street, because she made money for her family.
- She went to sell on New Year Eve, but nobody wanted to buy matches.
- She was very cold, because she didn't have a coat and shoes.
- She lit some matches because her fingers were very cold.
- She froze to death in the street.
If the learner is stuck with the story telling, ask question:
- Who is the girl in the story?
- Did she have a family?
- What was she doing?
- Why was she barefoot?
- Why did she light a match?
- What did she see in the flames?
- What happened to the girl?
