Grade 3 Adventure Trip To The Green Planet
Our Grade 3 students went for an exotic
adventurous experience in the verdant of a tropical

The students recounted the story (when the king lost his dreams) through a dramatic
scene that enhanced their ability to talk and arrange events, and also developed their
creative talent. The rest of the students interacted with them by representing some
parts of the story and expressing their opinion of the scene and encourage their
colleagues.
The students used the "Play with Words" strategy to identify the meanings of the new
vocabulary, through which they carried out an individual activity using the simplified
lexicon, and then used the cube to enhance their knowledge and share it with the rest of
the students.
