THE BRIDGE-HELPFUL READING LITERACY STRATEGIES

appreciation – for learners aged 13 to 17
OBJECTIVES
The three main objectives of the workshop:
- to read the summary of the story, Matilda;
- to put the paragraphs of the summary into the right order;
- to write a new ending to the story (a romantic ending, a sad ending, a horrible ending
or an adventurous ending).
WORKSHOP PROCEDURE
Step 1: Forming groups:
- the teacher prepares straws of four different colours representing four separate
groups
- each participating student draws one coloured straw from those prepared
- The students with the same-coloured straws form a group.
Step 2: Reading
- each group chooses a group leader
- every group gets an envelope containing the summary of the story Matilda in ten
paragraphs. (The summary of the story can be found below.)
- the students in each group read the paragraphs, put them in the right order and then
glue them on an A4 piece of paper.
Step 3: Writing
- students in each group exchange ideas about the development of events in the story,
use their imagination and change the ending of the
story. It can be a romantic ending, a sad ending, a horrible ending or an adventurous
ending.
- They appoint a member to write down the ideas of the group in four to five
