Comics Lesson
Melissa Fennell
GRADE LEVEL: SHS 1 or 2
SKILLS:
Reading, Listening, Speaking
TIME:
Class Period
MATERIALS:
Sentence Unscramble Worksheet, Comics with dialogue erased
OBJECTIVES:
To increase student interest

To encourage students to use English creatively
To practice writing
PROCEDURE:
Introduction / Warm up (10 minutes)
Ask SS Which comic characters do you like the most?
It can be any character. If you know the character, you can make a comment about it
(conversation). If you dont, then you can ask the student to teach it to you.
Activity one: Sentence Unscramble (7 minutes)
Show SS a comic with the text in the speech bubbles erased. Put the comic strip below in
the wrong order. SS sort out the order of the sentences. Then, they fill in the speech
bubbles.
Activity two: Make your own comic (20-30 minutes)
SS choose from a selection of different comics (or JTE/ALT could offer only one comic)
and fill in the (empty) speech bubbles with their own conversation.
Activity three: Presentation (10 minutes)
In groups, SS exchange comics and read them
Sample exercises
First of all, it is important not to throw away the comic sections of newspapers (especially
for colored comics) so that one will have an abundance of comic strips to use in class for a
variety of activities, such as those described below.
19
Activity 1
The teacher cuts apart the individual panels of a comic strip and puts them in an envelope.
The students (either individually or in groups) then are asked to arrange the pieces into the
proper sequence to tell the story, either in written form or as a speaking exercise.
For more advanced learners, the task can be made more difficult by giving a different
panel to each student in a group and asking students to describe to the rest of the group
what is on their panels. The students should not show their pictures to each other until
they have figured out the correct order for the panels.
Activity 2
In a variation of the first exercise, the teacher removes the speech or thought bubbles of
the comic strips, hands out copies of both the comic strip and the text of the bubbles to the
students. The students' task is to figure out the proper order of the speech or thoughts.
Activity 3
The teacher hands out a comic strip from which the last panel is cut out. Students are
asked to continue the story and come up with an ending. Similar to the first activity, this
can be a writing or speaking exercise and can be organized as either an individual or a
group activity, depending on the needs of the students. (Naturally, the first exercise could
be continued with this exercise as well; however, this way is more challenging than having
to continue a story that already has a conclusion).
A follow-up for this exercise could be that the students act out their stories in class. After
acting out a story, they could continue it as a role-play activity.
Role-plays are useful for providing the teacher with feedback on how well the students
learnt the new language (grammar, vocabulary, etc.). Besides, this activity reduces
Teacher Talking Time and facilitates the speech of the students. It is generally true that
people are less inhibited to talk when they have a personality "to hide behind," so when
they play a role, they tend to forget about the surrounding circumstances (i.e., the
classroom or the presence of the teacher).
Activity 4
Another interesting (and slightly more complex) exercise is to organize students into
groups and give them a written story with missing information. First the groups should
discuss what might be missing from the text. Then the teacher gives them a comic strip
version of the text. They must fill in the blanks in the written story by describing what they
see in the pictures. After that, they are asked to think of speech and/or thought bubbles for
the comic strip. Naturally, as a follow-up activity, they can act it out and continue the story
as a role-play.
The variations of these kinds of activities are almost endless. They can be combined with
other activities, or used as supplementary material.
20
Create a Comic Strip

I often use comic strips for students to retell a story. There are many ways to do this. First
I have students fold paper in half like a hotdog and then fold it two more times like a
letter. This creates six boxes. I always have students write at least one to two students
per box. Then they can draw pictures with the characters having think bubbles or talking
bubbles.

beginning of the story.

Title and author and comic strip

Characters
creator (student name)
Setting
Problem
Reflection on the story or have

students critique and give their
opinion.
Solution
Another type of comic strip is similar. Have students fold a piece of paper like an
accordion 2-3 times. This is good practice using sequencing words when retelling a story.
Have students complete the following in each box.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Write about what happens first in the story.
Write about what happens next.
Write about what happens then in the story.
Write about how the story ends.
21
Draw a Favorite Picture

I have given students a story map to retell the story. I have used the maps from the book
Catching Kids Up. They are very simple but provide good practice for students. When
students finish the story map they can draw a picture of their favorite part of the story. I
pull out the watercolor paints or pastels and let them go. Sometimes just the novelty of a
new medium motivates kids!!!
Elements of a Narrative
Plot: the sequence of events that take place in a story.
Setting: the time and place in which the events of a story take place.
Characterization: the methods used to present the personality of a character in a
narrative.
Direct--the author describes the character. Example--She was a large woman
with a large purse.
Indirect--the reader judges what the character is like based on what they say or
do, or what other characters say about them. Example--We believe the narrator
of "The Tell-Tale Heart" is crazy because he talks nervously and frequently
repeats himself.
Atmosphere: the general mood or feeling established in a piece of literature.
Atmosphere is created through word choice and pacing.
Word Choice--the author uses words that make the reader feel a certain way. A
spooky atmosphere is created in "The Tell-Tale Heart" through the use of words
like "hideous," "marrow," "chilled," and "nervous."
Pacing--the author controls the speed at which we read through sentence length,
punctuation, repetition of words and other techniques.
Point of View: who is narrating the story (2 main types: First Person, Third
Person)
First person: the narrator uses "I" to tell the action, and is involved in the story.
Third person: the story is told from a perspective outside the story. The
characters are referred to by name, or as he, she or they.
Conflict: the central problem that drives the action of a story.
Internal: The conflict happens in a character's mind. A character with a guilty
conscience is an example of internal conflict.
External: The conflict happens between characters, or between a character and
some outside force, like nature. Sherlock Holmes pursuing a criminal is an
example of external conflict.

the link between disasters and the environment becomes better understood. It
relates to the interface between disasters, human life and health, and the
environment.
In general, environmental emergencies distinguish between three scenarios: (1)
classic environmental emergency (also referred to as technological or industrial
accidents); (2) sudden on-set natural disaster with major negative impacts on
human life and welfare and on the environment; and (3) complex emergencies with
major environmental impacts (more commonly known as conflict or war).
Classic environmental emergencies

Environmental emergencies in the narrow sense are technological or industrial
accidents and usually involve some type of hazardous material and can occur at
any location where these materials are produced, used or transported. Common
locations include pesticide storage sites, hospitals, railway marshalling yards, and
numerous different industrial manufacturing sites.
While radiological and biological emergencies are typically excluded as they
require a different specialized response, large forest and wild land fires are
generally included in this definition as they are often human-induced and can
create serious humanitarian suffering, as was clearly the case in the haze covering
south east Asia in 1997 and 1998.
Natural disasters
Large sudden-onset natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and
volcano eruptions can have big negative impacts on human health and the environment.
Examples of how secondary impacts have caused further death and suffering are: Floods
causing landslides, earthquakes resulting in fires in refineries, volcano eruptions leading to
petrol stations explosions, gas exploration works resulting in mud volcanoes and typhoons
sinking ferries containing large quantities of hazardous pesticides.
35
Complex emergencies
In situations of complex emergencies, such as in Somalia, Darfur (Sudan) and Iraq,
the break-down of authority, looting, and attacks on strategic industrial installations
can all cause environmental emergencies. For example, the bombing of the fuel
storage tanks of a power station in Lebanon, led to a spill in the Mediterranean of
15,000 tones of heavy fuel oil.

Tornadoes
Tornadoes can occur in the periods between
June and October.
The classification system of Tornadoes is called
the Fujita Scale and can range from 1 (mildest) 5 (severe).
Differ from hurricanes in the fact that strongest
pressure of the storm is inside, where in
hurricanes is outside.
Tornadoes are convergent meaning they come
together in a funnel.
Tornadoes happen in tornado alley usually in the
mid- east, where warm tropical air near the
surface is met with cool air at top.
Green brown in color.
Sound like a train when the tornado occurs.

the Caribbean or Atlantic
- They are usually counterclockwise in
the Southern Hemisphere and the
storms up in Northern Hemisphere are
clockwise.
Usually you will find:

- In Asian and Eastern parts of Africa.
- Usually the climate is a very long period
of dry weather found by a short period
of very wet weather.
- People can be killed during monsoons.

Snow Squalls
Snow Squalls are:
- Brief but powerful snowstorms that can
occur from the lakes in the northern midwest and the central Canada around the
great lakes.

Forest Fires can be:

- Made by humans being very
inattentive to the situation around
them.
- Can be made naturally from
nature or pests like the pine
beetle.
- Can be made by weather, i.e.:
wind and lightning

Hangman game
Rules For Hangman Word Game
Introduction
Hangman is a popular word guessing game where the player attempts to build a
missing word by guessing one letter at a time. After a certain number of incorrect
guesses, the game ends and the player loses. The game also ends if the player
correctly identifies all the letters of the missing word.
Hangman is a classic paper and pencil game.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 (or more). 1 must be the executioner, and 1 or more
letter guessers.
WHAT'S NEEDED TO PLAY? A pencil and some paper are needed to play the
game.
SET UP: Either prints out some pre-prepared hangman pages or draw a simple
gallows and write out the alphabet above or below the gallows.
HOW TO PLAY: Choose one person to be the executioner. That person will think
of a word or short phrase and mark out blanks (short lines) for each letter of each
word. Separate words with a slash, a fairly wide gap, or place words on separate
lines. Then another player will guess a letter. If that letter is in the word(s) then
write the letter in everywhere it would appear, and cross out that letter in the
alphabet. If the letter isn't in the word then add a body part to the gallows (head,
body, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg). The player will continue guessing letters
until they can either solve the word (or phrase) or all six body parts are on the
gallows.
TO WIN: The executioner wins if the full body is hanging from the gallows. The
guesser(s) wins if they guess the word before the person is hung.
63
HANGMAN EXAMPLE:
Here is an example of a hangman game in progress. The phrase is Happy Birthday, so 5
blank spaces were marked out for Happy, and below that, 8 blank space were marked out
for birthday. Three correct guesses were made: A, R and T. Three incorrect guesses
made: S, E, and M. Three body parts were added for the 3 incorrect guesses.
64
II. Choose a word write a line for each letter of the word in the box below. If a letter is
guessed correctly, write on the line, If a letter is guessed wrong, draw a body part.
ABCDEGGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWWXYZ

65
Hangman word game.

III.-Think a word, under above of the hangman games, write a number of dashes( ___)
that equal the number of letters in the word ( for example, if your word is house you would
write ___ ___ ___ ___ ___). Your opponent then tries to guess your words by guessing
letters. If your opponent guesses a letter correctly, fill in the corresponding dash with the
letter, if your opponent guesses wrong; add a body part of your hangman, starting with a
head. Usually the student guessing the word, gets 6 chances (head, body, two legs two
arms). As they guess letters, use the alphabet under each game to cross them off, if the
opponent guesses the word before the hangman is completed, they win and get the next turn.

Reading Comprehension Worksheet

Simple Machines
Tom prepared to show off his latest creation for his local science fair. His robot
was intelligent, but not mobile. Sammy his robot, could not walk up steps or
move his arms up and down.
Tom used a series of pulleys to help Sammy's arms move. When a single
pulley was pulled by Tom, Sammy's arms would be raised. Tom found this to
be difficult to use. Tom added weights to the opposite end of the pulleys. When
Tom pushed a switch, Sammy would raise his arms. The only problem with
this was that his arms would stay up after the switch was pushed.
Tom built Sammy what he called "Power Shoes." When Sammy had his Power
Shoes on, a lever would continuously rotate and allow him to climb over
surfaces up to one foot in height.

V. Read the aspects of Autobiography
Autobiography is the type of writing in which authors tell

about events in their own lives.
Characters are well developed in detail and are true-to-life.

They are revealed by what people in a story do, think, and
say; what other say about them; and how others interact with
them.
Characterization is the authors development of characters. It is the way in

which a writer reveals a characters personality. The writer may do this by
telling us what the character says, thinks, or feels; by telling us what other
characters think or feel about the character; or by telling us directly what the
character is like.
Setting is described vividly.
Details are interesting. Writers of autobiographies use

objective and subjective details and anecdotes to tell their life
stories.
Anecdotes are short, often humorous, stories that enliven

writing and illustrate a point.
Chronological order is the order in which real-life events

occur and the order in which most writers of autobiographies
tell their stories. Often events are arranged from childhood to
adulthood.
Point of View is the perspective from which an autobiography is written. Since

autobiographies are written by their subjects, they are told from the first-person point
of view and use the pronouns I, me, and mine. Readers experience events through
the writer's eye-- knowing only what they think and feel about any given experience.
95
An autobiography is told from the writers perspective, or point of view. The first-person
point of view reflects only the writers thoughts, feelings, opinions, and biases. The thirdperson point of view can be used to reflect the opinions, feelings, thoughts, and biases of
multiple characters.
Third-person limited point of view is limited to the experience and consciousness of single
character. Third-person omniscient point of view is told by an all-knowing narrator who
understands and can reveal the thoughts and feeling of all characters.
Author's Purpose is the author's reason for writing. Authors of autobiographies

often want to make sense of events in their lives and to communicate an important
personal statement about life. They may also want to give credit to people who
influence them. Controversial individuals often write autobiographies to explain or
justify their actions.
Humor Autobiographies often use short, humorous anecdotes (stories) to

enliven the story and illustrate a point. Some humor is verbal (jokes or play on
words), some physical (slapstick humor), and some require readers to use their
imagination. There are some standard criterion a for creating humor:
One criterion is to use material that is outrageous.
Another is to focus on the unexpected. Some authors take advantage of
the fact that their readers enjoy situations in which the authors make fun
of things that the readers themselves find annoying, such as homework.
Irony is an expression of the opposite of what is expected or the opposite of what is

meant. Example: Shut up and listen to me, he roared. . This particular kind of irony
is humorous because it casts light on a persons foibles (minor flaws; weaknesses) in a
gently teasing way. There are three types of Irony:
Verbal Irony: is when someone says the opposite of what they mean.
Situation Irony: is when what happens is very different from what is expected.
Dramatic Irony: is when the reader knows something that one or more
characters dont know.
96
Descriptive details create a picture with words that appeal to

one or more of the five senses sight, sound, touch, taste, or
smell.
Sight: the writer gives a clear picture of what he looks like and how he moved.
Touch: the simile comparing Alec to the sunrise suggests tremendous emotional
warmth.
Sound: there is a sound of respect in his voice.
Prefix is a word part added at the beginning of a word.

It changes the meaning of the word to which it is added. Example: unwound and
impatient. Un and im are both prefixes meaning not. Unwound means to
reverse the process of winding up and impatient means not patient. Other
prefixes that mean not are in-, non-, and mis-.
Drawing Conclusion
Strategic readers draw conclusions when they take small pieces of information
about the characters or events and use them to make a broad statement.
1.-Write in your notebook What you think about an specific topic using
connectors?
2. Look up for a character you would like to know about and write his or her
biography using connectors.

Justin Bieber Biography
An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find

inside Justin Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to
the 15 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize
that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop
peers. After posting dozens of homemade videos on
YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber
put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like
Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up
over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth.
I started singing about three years ago, says the
Canadian native who grew up an only child in
Stratford, Ontario.
I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people
100
in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I
wasnt taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was
only 12 and I got second place.
In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Justin began posting his
performance footage online. I put my singing videos from the competition on
YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them, he says. But it turned
out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. Thats how
my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now
Im signed!
Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def
marketing
executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet
with his elite colleagues. As if Justins natural singing talent wasnt enough to
impress Scooters inner circle, Braun knew Bieber was also a self-taught musician
who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet.
Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us to the studio and Usher was
there in the parking lot, remembers Bieber. That was my first time ever being out
of Canada so I went up to him and was like, Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you
want me to sing you one? He was like, No little buddy, just come inside, its cold
out.
101
All it took was a short time online for Usher to realize he was in the company of a
future superstar. A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta, says Bieber. I sang
for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a
meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Ushers deal
was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good
connections in Atlanta. I always tease Usher now and remind him how he blew me off
the first time we met.
In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut
album, My World is an intimate look into the mind of a budding young renaissance
man. With production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who
produced Umbrella for Rihanna and Beyonces smash, Single Ladies (Put A Ring
On It), Justin has everything he needs to achieve pop supremacy.
His first single, One Time produced by Tricky, is about one of Justins favorite
topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on First Dance where the two share versus on
a song that Bieber describes as, A slow groovy song that people can dance to. On
the Midi-Mafia produced Down to Earth Justin digs deep to talk about growing up.
Bigger finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his
listeners to strive for their goals.
Im looking forward to influencing others in a positive way, says Justin. My
message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. I grew up below the
poverty line; I didnt have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as
a person it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go
to college and just become a better person.
A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Justin Bieber is primed to be a
solid force in music for many years to come. I think older people can appreciate my
music because I really show my heart when I sing, and its not corny, he says. I think
I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me. And just think, hes just
getting started.

El Da de los Muertos began as a pre-Columbian celebration and

was greatly influenced by the Spanish.
It is a ritual honoring the dead and has been practiced for nearly
3,000 years by pre-Hispanic groups such as the ancient Maya, Aztec,
and Toltec.
These groups occupied Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
When the Spaniards arrived, they tried to convert the Aztecs to
Catholicism, which meant they had to destroy this ritual, but the
Aztecs refused to let this sacred ritual die.
In pre-Hispanic times, el Da de los Muertos was celebrated in
August. When the Spanish could not destroy the holiday, they moved
it to November 1st (All Saints Day) and November 2nd (All Souls Day)
to make the ritual more Christian.
Today it is celebrated more in smaller towns than in the cities.
This tradition is slowly fading. (Do you think the same thing is
happening with holidays and traditions in the U.S.?)
Events
Families go to the cemetery and decorate the graves with flowers.
They build ofrendas in the homes with gifts for the deceased.

III. Read the following essay and then answer the questions below.
_____________________________
I was fortunate enough to be chosen for a student exchange to Mexico. I spent three
months living with a real Mexican family and attending a local high school. It has been
one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.
In this essay I will compare and contrast some aspects of school in Mexico and Australia.
There are many similarities in school life between Mexico and Australia. In Australia
most students wear school uniforms and Mexican students also wear it. Both school days
are divided into classes marked by the bell. One major difference however, is that in
Australia the kids are the ones who change classrooms, while in Mexico the students stay
in the same room and the teachers change. During the breaks, Mexican girls get together
and chat and boys play sport, just in the same way girls and boys do in Australia.
121
However, the choice of sports is different. In Australia we play Aussie Rules football in the
winter and cricket in the summer. In contrast, in Mexico they play soccer all year round.
The most difficult difference for me to get used to was the timetable. In Mexico we started
school at 7 am I had a really hard time with that as it was very different from the 9:00 am
start time in Australia! Nevertheless classes finished earlier than at home so we were
finished by 1:00 pm. In Australia Im at school until 3:00 pm.
I made the mistake of thinking my teacher was relaxed like Mr. Fitzgerald, my teacher at
home. On the contrary, Mexican teachers are strict. In Mexico we get a lot of homework,
while in Australia we only get a little bit.
In conclusion, I experienced many similarities and differences in school life between
Mexico and Australia. As an exchange student, adapting to the differences is the fun part
of the experience. From the book All Ready!

Before the round table

What Is It?
Round Table and Round Robin are cooperative learning strategies in which students take
turns contributing answers in a group. Round table is usually completed in written form;
round robin in oral form.
How Do You Use It?
The teacher poses a question or a task that has many possible answers such as listing the
items the settlers needed to make the trip West or all possible pairs of numbers that total a
given number. In round table there is usually one piece of paper and one pen for each
group. One student makes a contribution and then passes the paper and pen to the student
seated to the left. The pen and paper literally go around the table. The teacher should
monitor the groups to determine that they have adequate time to generate answers. Once
the groups have completed the task, each group shares its collective responses with the
whole class.
Round robin is an oral counterpart of round table. Students simply take turns stating answers
or ideas, without recording them. Round robin can be used with children too young to write
or when participation is the goal of the activity.
Roundtable
Roundtable structures can be used to brainstorm ideas and to generate a large number of
responses to a single question or a group of questions.
Faculty poses question.

One piece of paper and pen per group.
First student writes one response, and says it out loud.
First student passes paper to the left, second student writes response, etc.
Continues around group until time elapses.
Students may say "pass" at any time.
Group stops when time is called.
The key here is the question or the problem you've asked the students to consider. It has to be one
that has the potential for a number of different "right" answers. Relate the question to the course unit,
but keep it simple so every student can have some input.
Once time is called, determine what you want to have the students do with the lists...they may want to
discuss the multitude of answers or solutions or they may want to share the lists with the entire class.
1. Teacher poses a problem with many possible answers such as How can we show respect in
our classroom?
2. Students make a list on one piece of paper, each writing one of the possible answers and
then pass the paper to the next person. The paper literally goes round the table..

1. Select the Civic and Ethical topic. A question with multiple possible answers, a
topic for writing, or a task with many steps or solutions. (The teacher can agree
with the students and choose another topic).
1. Responsibility
2. Democracy
Ask the students for more topics and continue the list.
2. The class is divided into teams (The number of teams is up to the teacher)
the teams take a topic.
3. Investigate and read about the topic.
Steps for the Strategy

1. Choose a project, a question with multiple possible answers, a topic for writing,
or a task with many steps or solutions.
4. One sheet of paper and one pencil is passed around the group. Each student
writes an answer or part of the topic, taking about the same amount of time.
3. Students coach one another when a partner has difficulty.
4. Students provide appropriate praise or constructive criticism when necessary.
128
Management Tips
1. Use only one sheet of paper and pencil per group.
2. Provide questions with multiple answers.
3. Set a standard amount of time for each person to share.
4. Display the amount to time in some way (wall clock, Teach Timer, etc.)
5. A sheet defining the responsibilities of each partner may be helpful when first using this
strategy with students.
6. Model good coaching for the students, including the difference between coaching and
giving the answer, including constructive feedback.
7. Use heterogeneous groups created by the teacher.
INSTRUCTIONS
This is a Co-operative learning. You pass a sheet of paper around the table
taking it in turns to write a sentence. Listen to your teacher instructions when the
teacher gives the signal, gives the paper and pen to the student on his/her left. The
paper and pen literally go around the table, thus the name: Roundtable.
You need to write 5 sentences describing bullying and the types. You will work
as a group, taking it in turns to write a sentence. However the whole group must
agree on each sentence before you can write it down.

Read the story and write the topic.
David woke up and frowned. He didn't want to go to school today. He knew that today would be a bad day, just
like every other day. David came down the steps for breakfast and sat down at the table. "Hey," his older
brother growled, "that's where I'm sitting!" and he pushed David out of the chair. "You better learn to stay off
my chair.
David walked to the bus stop. All of the students in the neighborhood waited together, including some big
fifth-graders who always picked on him. "Hey, you," called one of them. "Where did you get that stupid hat?"
He grabbed the hat off David's head. "Look at this piece of trash," he called to his friends, and he threw David's
hat into the trash can.
David finally made it to class. As he sat down at his desk, he saw one of the girls in his class point at him and
whisper something to her friend. Her friend laughed and told the girl next to her. She laughed too and ran to
tell another girl. David felt his face getting red as he sat down and stared at his desk.
For lunch, David usually ate with his friend, Tran, but today Tran was absent. David walked over to a table with
an empty chair and started to sit down. "You can't sit here," a boy at the table said. "This seat is saved." David
walked to another table but the boys there said, "We don't want you here. Go away." David ended up eating
by himself.
At recess that afternoon nobody asked David to play, so David stood watching the others. Suddenly, one girl
ran up and called David a name. Other boys and girls nearby started teasing David too. David was so upset that
he just wanted to disappear.

Bullying an epidemic in the U.K.
Bullying in British schools has reached epidemic levels. Last week, Englands Commissioner for
Children said nearly every child was affected by the problem. Education ministers are keen to reverse the
worrying trend, especially as today is the start of Anti-Bullying Week. Politicians are thinking about fining the
parents of bullies up to $1,700. Schools minister Jacqui Smith said: This will send a strong message to
parents that schools will not tolerate a failure to take responsibility for bullying. Other proposals give
teachers the right to restrain students through reasonable force where necessary.
Ms. Smith said: Bullying should never be tolerated in our schools, no matter what its motivation. She
added that: Children must know what is right and what is wrong. She said children must know what will
happen if they cross the line. She spoke after many recent cases of violence in schools. Twelve-year-old
bullies have slashed their victims with knives and used iron bars to beat students unconscious. One child was
told she would be dead meat if she returned to school. It appears many of Britains schoolchildren are
more interested in tormenting and injuring other students than learning.

Reading comprehension
Bryan doesn't like going to school anymore. He is tired of being bullied.
Some of the bigger boys at school are mean to him. They push him to the
ground. They hide his books. They call him names. They are bullies
.
When things get really bad, Bryan tells his mom he is sick. You should stay
home and rest, Mom says. You'll feel better tomorrow. Then Bryan gets
to stay home.
He reads books. He watches television. He eats what he wants. He is not
scared. You should tell someone you are getting bullied at school, says
Bryans best friend, Link.
But Bryan is scared. He doesn't want to tell an adult.
That will make things worse, Link, says Bryan. You dont go to my school.
You have no idea how mean these guys can be. You cant keep missing
school, says Link. Your grades will fall. You will be in trouble at home. And

Circle the adverb of manner.

James, a golfer, was playing a round golf the other day when he
accidentally hit his ball into a hole off the golfing greens. James made an
accidental shot. Unexpectedly, an angry gopher appeared. The gopher angrily
pushed the ball out of its hole. The gopher complained loudly. The gopher made a
loud complaint. The ball hit him hardhardly on the head. James could hardly
believe that a gopher was making its home on the golf course. Normally, James
has good eyesight. However, he didn't see well this time because his ball did land
anywhere near the golf green.
In any language, a person must give and follow directions whether it is in a cab,
when explaining a process, or giving instructions
In English, the imperative form is the command form of a sentence.

The imperative is most often used when giving directions or giving
instructions. Do your homework. Study for the test. Pay attention in
class. All these are imperative sentences. Forming the imperative is
very simple. Verb conjugations follow the normal pattern, but the
subject of the sentence (you) is dropped. You do your homework
becomes do your homework. For negative sentences, do not is
added too before the verb. Do not sleep in class.
British English: cab
American English: _______________

EXAM UNIT V
UNIT V A

SECOND GRADE

I. Look at the pictures and predict the topic of the reading.
1. The topic is:

a) Friends and students
b) Why do bullies act that way?
c) Throwing away notebooks.
d) Gossip and flooding
II. Read the article and identify the topic of each paragraph.
Bullies usually pick on someone because there is something different about the
victim, e.g. they may be physically different, wear different clothes or like different
music.
There are several reasons why bullies pick on people:
Some bullies are looking for attention, and they think bullying is a way to
be popular.
Other bullies are insecure. They want to feel important, and when they pick
on someone else, it makes them feel powerful.
Some bullies come from families where everyone is angry and shouts all
the time, and they think it is a normal way to act.
Some bullies pick on their victims for no reason at all.
The good news is that bullies can learn to change their behavior:
Teachers can help bullies understand that their behavior benefits nobody.
Other kids can set an example by treating everyone fairly and with respect.
Schools can stop bullying by suspending or expelling bullies.
Taken from the book: Yes, we can!
