Speaking

A boy desperately wants a dog, but his parents say no. 

What arguments might the boy use to convince his parents to buy a dog? 

What arguments might the parents use to explain their point of view? 

* I will divide the class into two groups. 

Group 1 will help each other to come up with arguments for the boy. Help each other and try to find as many arguments as possible. The person who lives closest to the school will start and share a Google document with the rest of the group. Write down your arguments. 

Group 2 will help each other to come up with arguments for the parents. Help each other and try to find as many arguments as possible. The person who lives closest to the school will start and share a Google document with the rest of the group. Write down your arguments. 

* You will now get together in pairs. One of you will act as the boy and one of you will act as a parent. 

Remember to discuss in a friendly way! 

Decide which two best arguments you have! 

Reading 

Grab a textbook and go to pages 32-33. Cat on the Prowl is the name of the text. 

What do you think "Prowl" means? 

Take turns and read a paragraph each. 

Listen actively and help each other pronounce the words.

Summarise the text in Swedish. Make sure you understand what the cat did and what has happened to the rabbit! 

What would you have done if you were the owner of the cat?
