Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

2. Problem situations: The teacher can present two situations involving the interpretation of texts in English. The first one could be: 'Imagine you are watching a cartoon in English and don't understand any word. How would you find out what's happening in the story?' The second situation could be: 'You receive a birthday card from a friend written in English. How would you understand what the card says?'
3. Contextualization: The teacher can explain that reading and interpreting texts are very important skills we use every day. For example, when we read a book, an email, or a cake recipe. Additionally, the teacher can mention that in today's world, with the internet and globalization, knowing English is a very valuable skill.
4. Introduction of the topic: The teacher should then introduce the topic of the lesson - basic text interpretation - explaining that students will learn how to understand and interpret simple texts in English. To grab students' attention, the teacher can say that by the end of the lesson, they will be able to listen to a story in English and understand what's happening.
5. Curiosities: To spark students' interest, the teacher can share two curiosities related to the lesson's theme.

The second curiosity could be: 'Did you know that if you know the one thousand most used words in English, you can understand about 80% of any English text?'

By the end of this stage, students should be curious and motivated to learn more about text interpretation in English.

Development (15 - 20 minutes)

1. Group reading:
   • The teacher should start the English reading activity with the students. They can choose an illustrated English book suitable for the students' age group and containing a simple and short text.
   • The teacher should read the text aloud to the students, pointing to the words as they read. The goal here is for students to get familiar with the pronunciation and rhythm of spoken English.
   • After the reading, the teacher should explain the meaning of some key words that may be unknown to the students. It's important for the teacher to use examples and illustrations to facilitate the students' understanding.
   • Then, the teacher should ask simple comprehension questions about the text to check if the students understood what was read. For example: 'Who are the characters in the story?', 'Where does the story take place?' and 'What happened at the end of the story?'
2. Individual reading:
   • To continue the reading activity, the teacher should distribute a small English text to each student, with a difficulty level suitable for the class.
   • Students should read the text silently and then the teacher should ask some comprehension questions about the text. These questions should vary from easy to more challenging, so that all students have the opportunity to participate.
   • Examples of questions: 'What is the main character's name?', 'What did he/she do in the first paragraph?' and 'What did the character learn at the end of the story?'
   • The teacher should encourage students to use the text's context and their own experiences to answer the questions.
3. Interpretation game:
   • To make the text interpretation activity more fun, the teacher can propose a game. They will divide the class into two teams and give each team a short story in English.
   • The students in each team should read the story and, together, discuss what they understood. After the discussion, they should present to the class a summary of the story, in English, using the words they understood and the text's context.
   • The team that provides the most complete and correct summary earns a point. At the end of the game, the team with the most points is the winner.

The teacher should monitor the activities, offering help and guidance when necessary. By the end of this stage, students should be more comfortable with reading and interpreting texts in English, as well as having fun with the proposed activities.
