Understanding a Video Story

What are we learning today?

You will learn how to follow a story in a video and tell it again.

Explanation

• A story has a main character and events in order.
• First, watch the video without sound and look at the pictures.
• Then watch with sound to understand the story.
• Fill in the gaps while you watch.
• Decide if a statement is true or false. Correct the false ones.

Examples

1. Tobilay is a girl from South Africa. In the profile you fill in the gap: "Tobilay is ... years old."
2. "First she walks to school. Then she has lessons. After that she goes home."

Remember!

• Use First, Then and After that to tell a story in the right order.
• Do not add events that are not in the story.
