After the success of last week’s Matava script, I decided to try one of my own for my more advanced group of Spanish students. My kids were SUPER goofy today, and I did not help matters when I mimed kicking something and my shoe went flying. But I think I see a lot of potential with this script.
Target Structures:
liked to travel
got on
tried to fly
There was a girl who liked to travel, but she didn’t have enough money.
One day, she got on a bicycle and tried to fly. She wasn’t friends with ET, so she didn’t fly anywhere.
Another day, she got on a carpet and tried to fly. But the carpet wasn’t magical, so she didn’t fly anywhere.
Finally, she got on a dragon and tried to fly. She kicked the dragon. The dragon didn’t like it. The dragon looked at the girl and breathed fire. The girl flew to the hospital in a helicopter and was very happy.
(My original idea had the girl kicking an elephant, who then sat on her, but I liked my students’ dragon suggestion better.)
