Instruction:Get into groups. One member reads aloud theextract. The other members mime the scene.

We kill two more savages and wounded several others. By now, thesavages were all screaming in panic. Many of them had startedrunning towards their canoes. So we ran forward, firing our guns.My first task was to free the white man. I gave him my sword

and he joined us in our attack. Friday, meanwhile, ran among thecannibals with his axe and killed everyone in his path.At the end of the battle, seventeen savages lay dead around us.Four others had escaped in one of their canoes and I was contentfor them to get away. But Friday wanted to chase them in oneof the canoes that they had left behind. We ran towards thecanoes and were surprised to find another man, tied with ropes,in the bottom of one of them. When we cut the mans ropes,Friday went wild with joy! He danced, he laughed, he cried. Theprisoner was, in fact, his own father.

How closely do you feel that the listeningprocess is mirrored in these materials?

BOTH ACTIVITIES ARE FROM CHAPTER 8 (FORM 2 ENGLISHTEXTBOOK)

1stexercise, students really have to listen in order for themto mime the scene. The listening skills of the students are

tested in carrying out this activity. The mime by studentscan show whether their listening skill is good or not. This isbecause the details in this scene can only be mimed ifstudents did get the gist of it.

2ndexercise is solely focusing on listening as it is a

dictation. Students will have to listen attentively to theteacher in order to write them down. However, it is boringas students only need to write down what their teacher hasdictated to them and there is no further activity.

2ndactivity, it is really focusing on the listening skill asstudents have to listen to each and every word read
