Activity:
Read the poem aloud to your partner twice. Then test each other: one student says for
instance “language”, and his/her partner should say, “This is the
language
the little boy
spoke”.
Another way is for one student to say a verb, e.g. “break”, and his/her partner to say,
“This is the
promise
the little boy
broke.”
Practice until you make no mistakes. Finally, try to
recite the whole poem to your partner, who will help you in case you forget.
