This lesson is kind of difficult, but I am having success with it so far, so I thought I would share. I am doing in period six, Story Pot.
The movie Lion is out right now and it is a true story about a boy that went missing in India and was adopted to a family in Australia. Later, he used Google Earth to find his hometown and his family again.
I had a hard time condensing his story and making it easy, but I choose easy words for the students to fill in and many are vocabulary from this lesson.
First we watch the trailer to the movie. It is the first video on this blog page. Make sure to refresh the page after each viewing because for some reason it won't play again if you don't.

Then, I tell the students I will read the story to them. I say the sentences without blanks only one time, but sentences with blanks two times. I make sure to enunciate the word they are supposed to fill in.
After, I show them a photo of Saroo with his two mothers.

So far, the lesson is going well. It is definitely a lesson for higher level students.
