$10 - $20 For Any Grade EFL - ESL - ELD Lesson (by date, latest first)

Make learning English fun with these simple, comprehensible input English lesson plans and stories. Each lesson plan includes a story with targeted structures that can be repeated to give your students lots of repetitions. Comprehension activities to use after the story will allow you to engage your students and make sure that your English lesson is truly comprehensible input.

Each story and lesson has a set of target structures that are used again and again in the story.  The target structures for the lessons are:

The Ugly Pants: he gets dressed, ugly, I don’t understand, on sale

You Smell Bad: smells bad, I don’t love you anymore, a lot of cheese, she puts

The Big Dog: ate, she asks, doesn’t believe her, he was hungry

It hurts!: my ____ hurts, I broke my, you should, you were doing

Each very simple story is told in two different ways. There is a printable text version, and an animated mp4 version. Tell the story as you watch it (pause if you want to stop and discuss or storyask!), or just watch it for comprehension. Each video is around 5 minutes long, with pause time for students to read the text. There is a second version of the video with only the illustrations - no text - so you can watch it and do story retells. With novice low and novice mid learners, you can tell the story as is. For novice high learners, you can add more details or write a parallel story. You could even use this story at higher levels by having students retell the story in the past.

Here’s what you’ll get in these Italian Comprehensible Input Lessons:

• Links to the videos both with and without the text

• A printable pdf version of the stories

• Comprehension question worksheets

• "Who said it?" worksheets

• Story retell worksheets

• Answer keys
