Before you begin

Teaching guide

What children will practise

Read the 110-word story Mali and the Missing Light and answer questions on setting, sequence, feelings, cause and the lesson of the story.

What's in the worksheet

10 questions, 2 points each - The story: Mali helps her grandfather light the path lanterns; on a windy night the last one goes out, and she follows a bell with a box of matches to an owl caught in a bush by an old bridge - Every question is multiple choice (a, b, c) with a picture beside it, e.g. Why had the lantern fallen down? and What lesson did Grandfather share? - Key: 1 b, 2 c, 3 a, 4 b, 5 c, 6 a, 7 c, 8 b, 9 a, 10 c - A separate key writes each answer in red

How to use it in class

Use as the first sheet of the Story Trail set for P4-6. Allow about 20 minutes. - Read the story aloud once, then have children read it themselves and underline cause clues such as Its silver bell had knocked the lantern down - After marking, ask orally Was Mali brave? Why? and invite children to describe a time they were brave in two or three sentences

Common sticking points

- Item 10: choosing b Small animals should wear bells, since the bell matters in the story, though Grandfather never says it - Item 7: choosing b strong rain washed it away, remembering a stormy night, though the story mentions only wind - Item 4: choosing excited because Mali smiles on the cover, though the question asks how she felt at first - Answering from the small pictures rather than the text; items 5 and 6 are shown in their pictures
