There are three weekly lessons in English; one Tuesdays and two Fridays.
Pit Stop 7 is our main topic and task book. Besides Pit Stop we will read other English texts, self chosen reading books from the library, work with grammar, play different games, small presentations and a lot more.
1) A visual text - find other examples in the book where the artist has chosen a colour or used a visual technique to show sound to heighten your feelings about a scene.
2) Explain why Parvana´s mother says, "But we have no way of surviving without him," after her husband is arrested?
3) "We are a fractured land in the claws of the Hindu Kush mountains..." - Parvana repeats this in the end - why and what does the repetition of this story tell us about the Afghani people?
4) "Raise your words, not your voice. It is the rain that makes the flowers grow, not thunder" - this quote by the poet Rumi - what do you think it means and how does it relate to the story of Parvana?
5) Discussion - is Parvana´s story ultimately happy or sad? What makes you feel this way?
Once a week two pupils will "bring" a self chosen word to school to present in front of class. So which word to choose? The word should have some meaning to the pupil, be interesting in a way, have some exiting origin or usage, that the pupil should be able to explain. The pupil should know the word class and how to use it in a sentence.

Week 44:
Malala Yousafzai:
"Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world."
Dolly Parton:
“If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.”
C.S. Lewis:
“Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.”
Eeyore:
“A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.” — Eeyore
Albert Einstein:
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
Endangered Animals is the first topic we´re working on. Last year the pupils did some work on the topic in Danish and therefore are familiar with some of the words and discussions. We read and listen and do various tasks that involve learning new words, speaking, role playing, discussing, listening, reading, writing, being creative and playing games.
