Activity 8 (continues)
• Encourage students to adjust
the play and change some of
its elements. If they decide to
eliminate Oona from the plot,
they should change the title,
as the giant’s wife does not
appear in the story.
• Some possible answers could
be: If they decide on the fact
that both giants fight each
other, the title could be “A
Great, Big Fight”/ If they make
the characters talk instead of
fight, they play can be named
“Speaking Well Makes the
World Go ‘Round”.
• The CD icon will appear
throughout the practice to
indicate the activity the track is
linked to. However, remember
the way we order activities is a
suggestion and you may change
them to suit the purposes you
established with your students.

Activity 9
• Elicit the main events of The
Giant’s Wife. Ask them if they
agree with the ones in the chart.
• Encourage them to analyze

their purpose. Focus on the conflict, when it is introduced, how the action leads to the climax and how it is
resolved.
• Ask students to analyze the play they selected and help them describe its main events and to determine
the format.
• RB Box can either extend the current practice or provide material for developing it. If you have enough
material, take time during the practice to go through the Reader’s Book to foster curiosity and improve
reading skills.

Activity 10
• Go through the chart from the previous activity with students and ask them if they agree with the example
provided in Activity 10.
• Encourage them to identify the aspects of the play they selected. Ask them to think about the feelings the
play transmits and to think what type of audience might enjoy them.
• Pay special attention to determining the topic and help students to read between the lines. Some might
focus mainly on the plot, but help them identify what values are highlighted in the play and which
are punished.
