We talk about the importance of schools and why we learn. We discuss exams.

 

Activity 1: (Explanation of new subject matter).                                 (five minutes)

 

I teach the new words, prospects, deprived and contented, by placing the words in context. We put the words in sentences. I explain how to successfully answer comprehension questions. For example, read the question twice. Look for key words in the text and write as many facts down as the marks that are awarded.
