Pupils of 3rd Grade have been working on descriptions of animals. We learnt these sentences to make our texts (oral and written):
- It's ... big/small, tall/short, fast/slow...
- It's ... yellow, green, brown, black, white,...
- It has got ... 2 legs, 4 legs, 2 arms, a long neck, a short tail, claws, a big body, 2 wings, 2 horns, 2 ears, ...
- It can ... / It can't ... fly, swim, run, walk, jump, hunt,....
- It eats ... fruit, fish, meat, plants, grass, insects, leaves,...
After some oral practice, we wrote compositions. We made animal descriptions and our classmates had to guess them:
Cristina brought this funny book from the Natural History Museum, in London...
...and we decided to create a similar one:
We used our books to play a guessing game in pairs:
Has it got...?
Yes, it has.
No, it hasn't.
