We can use these texts to focus on grammar points such as the use of present tense verbs and time reference and to use as models in recount speaking & writing and to extend vocabulary.  \nBefore we teach English always contextualize the topic or theme by first looking at pictures asking questions to help predict the content of the article.  \n􀁸 For low level students, high frequency words do not have a clear meaning unless they are used in context and if there are words they don’t know, encourage them to make a guess either from the text or experience as to the meaning.  \nRead the story for beginners that follows and you will see a high number of sight words. This is a good place to begin.  \nWords such as: go, in, on, to, [they. am](they. am), I, from, and, come, in, for---all come from the Dolch 100 word list that is in your course book.  \nWrite the sight words on small cards and write some sentences with blanks where the sight words should be. Ask your student to match the sight words to the blanks.  \nStudents can read and copy the words from the cards. Then write them ina sentence.  \n􀁸 For all levels we need to read a text in detail on occasions. We do this to find out specific information relevant to our purpose. Finding key words or content words extends vocabulary and reinforces understanding. In this text the vocabulary of special food and Christmas words and events can be highlighted in gap filling exercises.  \nFor detailed reading gap filling exercises with key words missing reinforces understanding in context.  \nFor vocabulary building, present difficult words beforehand and elicit understanding by posing questions about meaning or matching exercises. Underlining the words in the text and on occasion guessing the meaning is all relevant to developing reading skills.  \n􀁸 Finally, for the advanced level students as part of the Christmas theme we have included dialogues for teaching casual conversation skills. This will also provide practice in pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. Also it helps students to learn humour in their conversation while learning the skills.  \npeace love joy hope peace love joy hope peace love joy hope peace love joy  \nSanta Claus Christmas card decorations angel  \npresents Santa hat sleigh wreath ornament  \nCHRISTMAS FOOD  \nMatch the picture with the words  \nturkey champagne (wine) beer  \nChristmas cake fish  \nChocolates crab lobster  \nChristmas pudding oyster prawns  \n_____________  \n________________  \n_______________  \n__________ _______________ ________________  \n______________  \n _   \n____________  \n_________________  \nMatch the name of the summer fruit  \ngrapes  \navocado  \nstrawberries  \nblueberries  \ncherries  \nrockmelon  \npineapple  \nmango  \nwatermelon  \nThe Australian Christmas  \nLevel 1  \nChristmas is on the 25th December. It is a public holiday. In Australia it is summer. There are many beautiful flowers in the garden and on the trees. The weather is usually very hot.  \nMany people go to church on Christmas Day and sing Christmas carols.  \nChildren get presents on Christmas Day from Santa Claus.  \nSanta Claus comes on Christmas Eve when all the children are asleep.  \nHe comes in a sleigh.  \nHe lands on the roofs of houses and climbs down the chimney.  \nSanta puts presents under the Christmas tree. The tree has a lot of Christmas decorations and beautiful lights.  \nOn Christmas morning children get up very early to open their presents.  \nChristmas lunch is a special time for families. People eat turkey and seafood such as oysters, prawns, crabs, and fish. After this they eat Christmas pudding with ice cream or cream and Christmas cake. They usually feel very tired and full after lunch.  \nWe buy summer fruit such as cherries, strawberries, blu","cbCaihQmGNI4a0YI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihQmGNI4a0YI","pdf",781658,13,"English","# Teaching approach and reading skills\n## Contextualize with pictures and predict content\n## Sight words and matching card activities\n## Detailed reading and gap-filling with key words\n## Vocabulary building through pre-teaching and underlining\n# Christmas-themed materials\n## Beginner text: The Australian Christmas\n## Level 1 activities\n### Circle correct answers and fill missing letters\n### Match pictures with Christmas words\n## Level 2 and 3: The Australian Christmas overview","[{\"question\":\"How should teachers introduce the Christmas theme before reading?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers should contextualize the topic by looking at pictures first, asking questions, and helping students predict the article content.\"},{\"question\":\"What activities support sight-word learning for beginners?\",\"answer\":\"Sight words are written on small cards, students match the words to blanks in sentences, then read and copy the words before writing them in a complete sentence.\"},{\"question\":\"What reading strategy is recommended for all levels when reading texts in detail?\",\"answer\":\"Students should read the text in detail to find specific information, identify key/content words to extend vocabulary, and reinforce understanding through gap-filling exercises.\"}]","The Australian Christmas - Christmas teaching materials - Lesson plan Christmas Day | PDF",1790853497,33]
