The 8 units are centred on the dramatization of a simple story. Each unit opens with clear instructions containing the grammar topics and materials necessary for the activity. This is then followed by three pages of games and activities such as craftwork, manual tasks and language exercises, plus the story text. The volume includes both original and abridged versions of classic stories. Songs and rhymes allow for further pronunciation practice, whilst numerous links to geography, art, music and history reinforce crosscurricular aspects.
