Elsie Marley's grown so fine
Elsie Marley's grown so fine,
She won't get up to feed the swine,
But lies in bed 'till eight or nine!
Lazy Elsie Marley.

Pussycat, pussycat
Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I've been to London, to visit the Queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under the chair

Read the rhyme, and draw the story.

Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly from my hand
Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly from my hand,
Tell me where my true love stands,
Up-hill or down-hill or by the sea sand,
Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly from my hand.
Fly, lady-bird, fly!
North, south, east or west;
Fly to the pretty girl
That I love best.

Where is his true love?
Write a story and tell us where you think she is.
Make a drawing too, so we can see how his true love looks like.

Three grey geese
Three grey geese
In a green field grazing,
Grey were the geese
And green was the grazing.

Write your own poem about birds or animals.

MOTHER GOOSE
Mother goose was a thoughtless goose.
She took her five kids to a pond
She didn’t remember that one couldn’t swim
When she came back home there were four.
Mother goose was a careless goose
She put her kids up on a tree
But one of them slipped and fell to the ground
When she came back home there were three.
Mother goose was a dreamy goose
And once when cooking a stew
She took her own kid for the sight of a beet
When she finished her meal there were two.
Mother goose was a foolish goose
She let her two kids out to run
Right in the middle of a big, busy street
So soon she was left with just one.
She loved him and hugged him and said she was sorry
Not knowing she spoke to a shoe
Her son only sighed: now I know what they mean
When they say: “what a silly ol’ goose!
 

What do you think about Mother Goose?
Draw the story.

Short Story Game

Mål:

• Konsentrasjon, lytte, og gjenfortelle deler av en historie.
• Kreativ skriving.
• Lage en fortelling.

Leksjon.
Før timen starter må du tape fast 5-7 fargede dyr, eller andre ting av papir, under noen tilfeldige stoler i klasserommet (en under hver).
Når elevene får roet seg, fortell at noen av dem har noe klistret fast under stolen sin. Elevene vil se under stolene sine, og "vinnerne" vil avsløre seg. La disse elevene komme opp foran klassen og tape fast tingen de fant på genseren sin.
La dem stå på rad foran klassen. Disse elevene vil hjelpe deg å lage en fortelling for klassen.
Elevene som sitter, må følge godt med når du forteller historien.
Læreren starter fortellingen:
"Once upon a time there was a little boy who had 3 eyes. Two of his eyes were in the front of his face, the third eye was in the back of his head. He was starting school on this particular day and he was afraid that the students would make fun of his third eye. So he wore a baseball cap to cover up his eye in the back of his head." (Dette er bare et eksempel)
Nå kan du peke på en av elevene, denne skal gjenta siste setningen og lage en ny. Fortell at elevene ikke skal lage slutten på historien.
Fortsett slik med alle elevene, til du kommer til den siste eleven. IKKE la denne lage avslutningen på fortellingen.
Alle sammen skal nå lage SIN egen avslutning.
La alle få lese sin avslutning etter en stund.
På denne måten lærer elevene både å konsentrere seg, samtidig som de er kreative og lager sin egen avslutning.

Limericks

En limerick er et morsomt dikt med 5 linjer.
Linje 1, 2 og 5 rimer.
Linje 3 og 4 rimer.
 

What is a limerick, Mother?
It's a form of verse, said brother
In which lines one and two
Rhyme with five when it's through
And three and four rhyme with each other.

Now, make your own limericks
