Group Work
In group of 4, students write and decorate an LEA (Language Experience Approach) story together. The students have written LEA stories before in earlier Learning English books but review the process with them to ensure that they understand what is you want them to do. In this LEA story, the group will talk about what they have learned so far about Christmas and what they like about this holiday.
Group should illustrate their LEA story.
When all of the groups are done, groups can do a Gallery Walk. One student from each group should be left behind to read the story to the other groups.
Post the stories on the wall so that the students can reread them again at the beginning of the next class during a real Gallery Walk!
