The three short poems are different not only in the choice of pets, but also in the way they focus on different aspects of animals. The style of each poem is different. My Dog focuses on behaviour adjectives. My Goldfish e_presses the poets feelings about the goldfishs lifestyle. Cats describes the different places where cats sleep.Part ATeaching procedures1. Ask students to study the poems and pictures on page 90. Write the title My Dog on the board and also the verb that are used in the poem: chase, catch, hunts, hide, builds, bark, bite, fight and look after. Talk about their meanings.2. For weaker classes, read My Dog one like at a time and have students repeat after you. For stronger classes, choose five students to read two lines each.3. Ask students to find the adjectives in the poem which tell us about its characteristics, e.g., cleverest. Work through the meaning of wonderful tricks. Then ask them to identify the verbs which describe the dogs actions (chase, catch, hunts, builds, bark, bite and fight).Ask students some general questions to elicit details about the dogs actions to generate some of the key verbs, e.g., what does the dog do?4. For weaker classes, read the poem My Goldfish and ask students to follow in their books. E_plain the meaning of miaow and bubbles. For stronger classes, ask two students to each read a stanza.5. Read the poem Cats. As you read the poem, try to use gestures and mines to illustrate the different impressions presented in the poem. Learn about the words window-ledge, edge, drawer, lap, cardboard bo_ and frocks.6. Ask more able students to read the Cats poem, first on their own and then with a partner. S1 reads lines 26-35 and S2 reads lines 36-46. Ask if any students have cats that like to sleep in unusual places.7. Have the class prepare this poem for choral reciting. Allocate different lines to individual students or pairs to create a dramatic impression. Ask one or two students to read one line only, e.g., S1: CatsAll: Cats sleep anywhere,S2: Any table,S3: Any chair,S4: Top of piano,This activity helps students to work as a team as they have to listen to their cues, which encourages them to work collaboratively.8. Ask students which poem they like best. Encourage more able students to say why they like it, e.g., I like the poem about cats because they are my favourite animals.E_tension activityFor stronger classes, ask students to copy the poem Cats into their books, leaving enough space to draw the different objects to illustrate where cats live and sleep. Encourage students to interpret the use of prepositions to prepare a correct visual presentation of the poem.Part BTeaching procedures1 Read the words listed in the bo_ in part B1 to the class.

For more able students, do not provide them with the e_tra gapped sentences and words. Ask them to look for other rhyming pairs in the poems themselves.5 Ask students whether they think the rhyming words make the poems more pleasant to listen to. Accept all opinions. Then ask individual students what are the other roles of the rhyme in poetry. Elicit as many opinions as possible, e.g., makes poetry easier to remember, creates a beat at the end of each line, helps create a pattern of sounds and a sound rhythm, creates a tune, helps create the images, etc.E_tension activityAsk more able students to find any other rhyming pairs from the words learned in other units. Give them a reward for finding one, two or more. This is a very useful pronunciation e_ercise as well as an activity which prepares students to use language creatively on their own.Part CTeaching procedures1. Ask students to do Part C1 in pairs. Encourage them to use a dictionary if necessary.2. Review the answer and clarify any areas of uncertainty.4. Read out the first line. Then ask four students to read out one line each.5.

Provide them with the names of places, and perhaps how many times each preposition is used.Ask more able students where cats sleep based on the poem Cats on page 90. Tell them that they can use any other words apart from in, on and on top of.VocabularyObjectivesl To recognize and identify a range of animal featuresl To differentiate between features belonging to different animalsl To use appropriate nouns and verbs when describing the appearance and characteristics of different types of animalsTeaching procedures2 Identify the words most students do not know.

Ask stronger classes to create a list of different instructions and then write the different situations as titles above it, e.g.,Classroom Sit down. Open the door. Be quiet. Stop talking. Work with a partner.Please close the window.Fire drillWalk quietly. Dont run. Dont take the lift. Take the stairs. Line up.Go to the playground.Leave your bags. On the busDont push. Stand clear of the door.For weaker classes, jumble the sentences up and ask students to group them under the correct situations.2 Imperative sentences do not normally include a subject, because the subject you is implied. However, a noun or pronoun can sometimes be used to identify the person receiving an order or instruction, e.g., the speaker wants to attract Marys attention and so he/she says, Mary, dont push. / Dont push, Mar3 Go through the e_planations and grammar table on page 94 to clarify the rules for using imperatives when giving positive and negative instructions.4 Ask students to study the pictures in Part A1.
