Listening Script
Before the Europeans arrived in North America, there were more than 300 different languages spoken by the Native Americans. These days there are only about 150 and many of these are spoken by very few people. Many place names in America come from these original Native American Languages; cities like Chicago and Manhattan and states like Ohio and Mississippi.These places names all have special meanings. Many of them are named after features of nature. Here are some of these place names. Find them on the map and complete their meanings. For example:Minnesota means sky water.Massachusetts means great little hill.Connecticut means big lake.Michigan means big lake.Iowa means beautiful land.Manhattan means large island.Kansas means people of the south wind.Ohio means beautiful river.Oklahoma means home of the red people.Mississippi means father of the water.These place names show how important nature was to the Native Americans. It’s a lesson we could all learn from these days.

Provide a written record (or get ss to write the items)
Write (/display)on the board
Give meaning & elicit the vocabulary item

Mini-stage Teacher says & does
1. Set a clear context
a-I have a friend who is very good at speaking, flattering people and
caressing them with her words . Therefore; she is always able to talk
people into doing things for her.
2. Give meaning & elicit the
vocabulary item
a-So what do we call the action of influencing someone with
promises, caressing or flattering to do things for you?
b-What do we call a person or a place or something that
everybody likes ? Someone everybody wants to be with and
something everyone wants to have and somewhere everyone
goes Elicit ( popular )
3. Check understanding
a-How else can you cajole people? For example? (giving
sweets to children or telling people how beautiful or smart
they are …) Is bullying someone the same as cajoling
someone? How is it different? For example?
b- If we know someone or something well, does that mean
they are popular? Why not?
Can places or things be popular, too ? Examples ?
Which Emirate is the most popular in the world? ( Dubai )
Is Shabah Al Reem, the criminal, well known? So can we say
she is popular ? ( No, because popular has a positive
meaning and can not be used to describe things that are not
liked or approved. )
4. Check form
a-Is ‘cajole’ – a noun? verb? adjective? adverb?
b- Is ‘ popular ‘ - a noun? verb? adjective? adverb?
5. Check pronunciation
a- Where’s the stress, the strong part?
b-Where is the stress, the strong part?

• Choose a word per pair from the text you have .
• Write concept checking questions for these words.
Stage 7
• What do we conclude from the activities we have done in this section?
• How do we concept check the meaning effectively?
Concept questions should be :
∙ Clear
∙ Easy and suitable for students’ level
∙ To the point
∙ Focusing on the core meaning
∙ Relevant to the context
