3A Sidney and the circus
Instructions and Answer key
You will need: one copy of the Student A worksheet and one copy of the
Student B worksheet per pair

• Detach the Movement verbs worksheets from the pictures before


the lesson.
• Divide students into pairs. Give Student A and B a copy of their
respective worksheets. Students cannot look at each other’s pictures.
• Pre-teach any difficult vocabulary. Students have to describe the
pictures on their worksheet to their partner and decide on the
correct order of the pictures. Make sure they do not look at their
partner’s worksheets.
• When a pair has decided on the correct order, they may look at both
worksheets and check their answers. Check the correct order with
the whole class (see Answer key).
• Give a copy of the Movement verbs worksheet to each student.
Individually or in pairs, students match each verb with a picture using
a dictionary to help them. Check answers with the whole class (see
Answer key). Note that there can be more than one correct answer
for some of the verbs.
• Students then work individually or in pairs and write the story in the
past, using narrative tenses and the vocabulary from the worksheet
(see Answer key for a sample answer).
