21、solving conflicts constructively, and seek help and support from adults when needed.The key points is to understand the whole story,so I am going to use picture scaffolds like,doing picture walk, using graphic organizers to help students, and wrap up the whole story after reading. The difficulties i

22、s when students connect the story with their own life.Based on my experience of teaching with my students, using language scaffold is my first choice to fix up this situation, which can give students direction of oral expression.Teaching ProcedureNext part is my teaching procedure.First, I am going

23、to share a poem about friends with my students, then lead in the story with the introduction of two main characters to start a free talk about students them self. Who is your best friend? How arc you the same as your fricnd?hov arc you the different? And use teachers pictures to demonstrate the answ

24、ers. The purpose is to activate students background knowledge about friendship and give them a chance to talk about their own friends freely,and prepare for comparing and contrasting Ben and Jess.Next, its the part of preparing students for a formal reading of the story.

29、nswers.After identifying the problem in this story, students are so curious of figuring out the solution.they arc going to read 19 to confirm their inference while reading the rest part of the story and sequence the story elements.
