Five of the most common stories from the Old Testament will be covered:
- Creation
- Adam and Eve
- Noah’s Ark
- Joseph
- Moses
In each class, the students will read the story, discuss the new vocabulary and complete a reading comprehension quiz.
Creation
There are two versions of the story. The first (100 words) is in very simple language; the second (100 words) uses ordinal numbers.
Adam and Eve
This story about the first people includes dialogue with quotation marks and speech tags.
Noah's Ark
This story of Noah's ark builds on weather vocabulary. Many of the words have been used in the previous stories; this reinforces the vocabulary and adds new words to the context.
