Students: 9-year-olds

Topic: the jungle (animals and fruit)

2. Students are given a set of flashcards with pictures of different kinds of food and animals. They should select only those items that appear in the story, and leave the rest aside. 

3. Now the teacher asks the students if they could find all the animals and food that appeared in the story. She tells them to make those flashcards missing, using Cambridge English Online flashcard maker. She guides them through it, so they can insert the image and text intended. 

4. Students print and a colour their flashcards. Once they have finished, they retell the story using them.
