Stories about behaviuors

Reading storiesSelecting storiesPresenting storiesContest to select stories• Mr. Goe• Talerus• The story of the bunny

This incident made his mother buy him another After that, he locked himself in the train toilet and he got stuck. The ladies panicked. The conductor helped him out. Instead of being punished, the boy got a bar of chocolate for his suffering.

The worst thing that he did was that he pushed the button which stopped the train. That delayed the arrival of the train at Bucharest. When the conductor checked who was guilty for stopping the train, Goe remained unpunished again because he pretended sleeping in his grandmother’s arms.

Eventually, Goe and the ladies arrived at Bucharest, beginning their “journey” through the capital.

MR. GOE

Goe was a ten-year-old boy. He

was spoiled, rude and he also had low

grades at school. Goe’s mother,

grandmother and Mrs. Mita decided to

take Goe to the capital – Bucharest –

hoping that the trip would help him

make it to the next grade. While they

were nervously waiting for the train, they

argued about the pronunciation of the

word “sailor”. Eventually the train

arrived and they found their places with

the help of some kind teenagers.

Meanwhile, Goe was rude towards a man

calling him: “Hey, you, ugly man!”

Throughout the journey the boy

kept on behaving inadequately; he put his

head out of the window and as a

consequence he lost his hat along with the

train ticket.

An urban writer, Caragiale recalls life in Bucharest, the society saloons, the balls, the beer saloons, the clerks' offices, the crowd in the street, the tricks on April 1st etc. His sketches can be grouped like this: family life, school, press, the office worker, high-life etc.Caragiale is our first realistic writer. He is the creator of human types and life scenes by which his work becomes a real human comedy, an artistic document of the manners of an epoch.Starting from Romanian realities, creating original scenes and types, Caragiale came to a universal artistic value.

I.L.Caragiale was born

on January 30, 1852 in

Haimanale village,

Prahova county, the son

of Luca and Ecaterina

Caragiale. Today the

village is named after the

great play writer.

After his father’s death he settles down

in Bucharest where he will be the only

support of his mother and sister Lenci (3

years younger). Until 1878 he was a

prompter, copyist, journalist and press

corrector.In 1878 he collaborates at

“Timpul” (“The Time”), having

Eminescu and Slavici as colleagues.

Each member of the Romanian Comenius team selected one or two stories having in view the level of the children.

The stories were presented and translated in Romanian by the help of the children.

Presentation the stories from partners

In order to perceive the moral message of the story, the children were asked to run certain activities: - role play and miming, - character sketching and arguments, - predicting the ending

As methods, the teachers used - brainstorming- pair work- group work- debate.

• dramatize a part of the story;• changing the ending;• illustrate the story;• project;• portofolio;• give suggestions to characters (considering the level of the children they wrote either in English or in Romanian, some wrote in both languages.)Students enjoyed the activities. Children noticed resemblances in the Romanian stories. They easily picked up the positive and negative features of the characters.

As a homework they had to choose from the suggestions given:

Stiker competition

” We can solve it together”
