After a relaxing week of holidays, we resumed with English where we left off. In English Language, we started with reading comprehension with texts such as `Stripes Tiger and the Boy` and `Plop!` which are provided in the Checkpoint books students have received this week. They read these stories in class, discussed them at length and answered comprehension questions based on the texts. They have also been given vocabulary homework from these stories for their weekly spelling quizzes.
In this volume, for English Literature we don`t have a novel to read; instead we will be learning about Folk Tales and reading quite many of them. During the first week, students were introduced to folktales as a genre and different types of it. In the following weeks, they will be focusing on each category individually; read and analyze the texts and even create their own tales.
