In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Name products that come from farm animals such as bees, pigs, cows, hens, geese, and sheep
Use topic vocabulary in original sentences, riddles, anagrams, and an illustrated story
Find and record a dictionary definition for chosen words and build sentences with them

Teaching tips

Introduce the picture vocabulary sheet and the numbered word list first, since every later page draws on that same list
Use the two comic-strip levels to differentiate: level 1 offers five large panels, level 2 twelve smaller panels plus an extra page
The internet-research and dictionary-study pages need a device or dictionary; the rest of the booklet is pencil-only

Skills covered

Topic vocabulary — students work with twenty words naming six animals and fourteen products, from beeswax candle and pigskin football to wool yarn, first matched to pictures and then reused across every activity.
Sentence and story writing — students write five sentences with chosen list words and a titled, illustrated story using as many of the words as possible.
Comparing and connecting — a Venn diagram compares two pictured products and a making-connections page links the vocabulary to students' own lives.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Which animals and products does the vocabulary list cover?

Six animals and their products: bee (beeswax candle, honey), pig (chops, bacon, pigskin football), cow (milk, leather belt, leather purse, steak), hen (egg, poultry meat), goose (feather pillow), and sheep (wool hat, wool yarn) — twenty words in all.

Do the comic-strip pages come in more than one version?

Yes — level 1 gives five large numbered panels with caption lines, and level 2 gives twelve smaller panels across two pages plus an extra continuation page, so the same task can be assigned at two lengths.

How does the pichenette race game work?

Students draw the vocabulary words in boxes along an oval track, then take turns flicking a pencil tip from the START line, marking an X where each flick lands; a flick is cancelled if it lands on a drawing, outside the oval, or in the swimming pool, and the first player across the FINISH line wins.
