STORYTELLING
LESSON: ENGLISH
CLASS: 4TH
GRADE
UNIT: CLOTHES
GENERAL
AIMS
All children love stories. Learning
a language from stories will be easier and more enjoyable for students.
Students both listen to the story and start to understand clothes from the
story. After storytelling, nearly all students will be active while acting out.
I think that this storytelling will be a big chance for children both to learn
and enjoy.
Story: Story will be about Caillou
and his clothes. I wrote this story. To
tell the truth, I found a short video
from British Council. I modified this story, added new names of the clothes,
demonstrative adjectives and simplified its language according to 4th grade’s
level. This story includes 5 clothes and demonstrative adjectives( these, this)
These vocabulary
used in the story is simple and understandable for 4th grade students. I used
simple present tense and a little past simple tense. There are a lot of
repetitions, some question/ answer . There is a surprise for Caillou at the end
of the story. This story is memorable for the students and short as much as
they can remember.
CAILLOU’S
CLOTHES
One day, Caillou plays with his
sister Rozi. They have a good time. They see their mother with a bag.
Caillou asks
“What are you doing mum? Where are you going?”
His mother answers” I am taking your old
clothes to the charity shop.”
Caillou: They
still fit me look, mum. This t-shirt is my favourite. My grandmother bought me.
His mother: Are
you sure Caillou? Is this t-shirt?
Caillou:yes. Yes.
And these slippers are still OK. These
are my first slippers.
Caillou’s
mother: But these slippres are old.
Caillou: Don’t
take these trousers, mum. I like these trousers so much.
His mother: But
my honey, these trousers are too small.
Caillou: I love
these shorts, mum. I don’t want to give these shorts.
His mother:
Honey, these trousers doesn’t fit you.
Caillou: My
father bought this pullover. I want to wear this pullover, again. Why did I
grow so much? I love these clothes.
His mother:
Listen to me Caillou. You grow so much and you don’t wear these clothes again.
I should take these clothes to someone who needs them.
Caillou: Ok
mother, you are right. I grow so much. You can take them.
His mother goes
and turns back in fifteen minutes.
Caillou’s
mother: I didn’t take these clothes to the shop.
Caillou: Why
not?
His mother: On
the way I found someone who really needs these clothes.
His mother shows
the teddy bear and they laughs.
Pre-storytelling:
Aim:
In this activity: After activating
childrens’ prior knowledge about Caillou, I will make students to watch a short
video( about 50 seconds) about Caillou. I will introduce the story.
Procedure:
After
greeting, I will ask students whether they like Caillou or not.
I
will ask what they know about Caillou.
I
will make them to watch a short video about Caillou.
I
will give short information about story.
Materials: I
will use a short video. You can find it from this website:
While-storytelling:
Aim:
In this activity, I will start to tell my story. I will explain this story by heart. Children will start to:understand what the story is about. This story consists of 5 clothes and
demonstratives adjectives. I will try to teach these points in the story as much as I can do while
students are listening to the story and having a good time.
Procedure:
I
will start to explain my story with Caillou’s puppet and small colorful cards
about clothes.
Since
this story consists of dialogues, I will act out both Caillou and his mother.
I
will try to act out as much as I can perform.
If
the students don’t understand the story or they want to listen again, I will
tell the story again one more time or twice.
While
I am telling the story, a presentation which I have prepared and consists of
Caillou’s pictures in order according to the story will be shown behind me.
Materials: a
Caillou’s puppet, a presentation and small colorful cards about clothes.

how much students have learned from the story and what they have learned. They will summary the story and tell what
they have understood from the story. Students will be active by acting out the
story.

will ask what they have understood and learned from the story.
