Topic: a naughty little girl goes for a walk in the woods and enters an empty home... I've chosen the Amanda Askew version of the classic fairytale (curiously not well known in Italy) as it is hardback and has large illustrations.

| Amanda Askew version |
Vocabulary: Goldilocks, bears, mummy, daddy, baby, forest, house, kitchen, bowl of porrige (I'm 'chunking' this one without explanations!), livingroom, chair, bedroom, bed, too hot, too cold, too hard, too soft, too big, just right.
Procedure:
- Preteach those adjectives by asking them to sing your hello song softly and 'hard' and then whilst being hot and cold.
- Flashcard time: drill Goldilocks, bear, and the rooms and furniture. Recycle house and forest and the family if you think it is necessary.
- Read the story with plenty of actions, especially for the 'too hot.. too cold... just right' parts. Check understanding in L1 if necessary. On follow up readings you will need these actions for eliciting those non pre taught words during the flash card game.
- Table time! Ask the children to draw a picture that represents the story. It could include, a house, a forest and most importantly a little girl and 3 bears.
- Call the children back for circle time. You could review the family finger song.
- Watch and sing the chorus of the video with actions. I'm a big fan of this series by Debbie and Friends.
Extensions:
This story is begging for a matching activity. Or they could draw the right bear in the right chair...

Something like a sequencing sheet would be a good second lesson for the older kids to check understanding.
