JUST ADD DIRT

Materials needed: munggo beans (mung beans); toge (mung beans seedlings – you may grow this in water, it will only take a day for the shoot to come out); vegetables (written above); a few dirty clothes

Words will be unlocked through the story below. As you read each word, write the word or show the written word to the learner.

Say: What is your favorite dish/food? My (anyone) loves sinigang. What vegetables can we put in sinigang? (Wait for learner’s answers, if he mentions one of the vegetables above, bring out the vegetable and show the name of the vegetable) Let’s say the name of the vegetables – string beans, onions, eggplants, okra, radish, and tomatoes. I have another vegetable I want to

show you (show toge or munggo bean seedlings). This is called toge or mung bean seedlings. We don’t put this in sinigang but it’s also delicious. When do we usually eat sinigang? We can usually eat it during lunch or dinner. What can we eat for breakfast? (Wait and accept learner’s answers) When do we eat breakfast? What about lunch, when do we eat lunch? And dinner, when do we eat dinner? (Each time, let the learner answer and rephrase or give clues when the answer is not ideal). In our house, (say name or identify person) cooks our meals. But, aside from cooking what other work do we do in the house? Sometimes, we also have to wash dirty clothes or laundry. What do you think is laundry? (bring out dirty clothes and guide learner to answer) You know, one time I forgot to do the laundry and I cried out loud when I saw I didn’t have clean clothes to wear. I wailed (demonstrate) when I saw no clothes in my closet. Have you ever wailed before? When did you cry out loud like that? Let’s look at the words we just learned. (Refer to the pages with the words and pictures and enumerate the words unlocked)

Say: The story I will read you is about a boy who also wailed when he saw something. This boy seems to hate taking a bath. What about you, do you like taking a bath? When do you take a bath?

Our story is about Miguel. When do you think he will take a bath? Let’s read and find out…
