Workbook page 1 7 1 5 Imagine a story about someone being resourceful. Make notes about what he/she did. •
Review the meaning of
resourceful . Students imagine a
story about someone who had to be resourceful. They
work individually to complete the chart. Circulate and
help with language and ideas.
Key: Answers will vary, but make sure students have
written the items the person didn’t have on the left and
possible things to use to replace them on the right.
1 6 Write a story about someone being resourceful. •
Students use the story in activity
1
2 and their chart
in activity
1
5 to write their own story. They could also
illustrate it on a separate piece of paper.
•
Make sure that students are using the past tense
correctly and encourage them to start with a phrase such
as
One day / Last weekend / Last summer and to include
verbs followed by the infinitive with
to (e.g.,
forget to, try to, have to, need to ) in their story. Students can then
read each other’s stories.
