Pinocchio Lesson Plan S 16
Assumption: the students know the tale; they are already familiar with the characters and the
plot
Possible problems: the students may not have the necessary language skills to answer the

the language;
Who is in these pictures? Is Pinocchio a boy? What is he wearing? What does he look like?
Specification of the problem to be dealt with
The Ss must identify vocabulary and order of events, observing the sequences from the book and
listening to the audio story.

Geppetto, a friend of the carpenter, carved a puppet out of this piece of wood and called it
