2. Ask students to read the notes in Part A1 and A2. Ask some general questions to check understanding, e,g., Do you know how many bones there are in a giraffe’s neck? Only focus on the word ‘bones’. Create a situation where you are all learning together. Ask What do you know about tortoises? Have you seen one? Where do they live? Where do camels live? (elicit the ideas of sand, wind, desert, etc.) What do you know about ants? (elicit ‘insects’) Do you know of any other insects? How do you feel about insects?

Encourage students to work out whether their choice of nouns makes sense. Then check students’ understanding. Ask several students to each read one sentence aloud to the class, paying attention to fluency and pronunciation. Then check answers as a class. Encourage all students to make their own comments.
