I really like the way you integrate active learning by having the students find the answers, check themselves and make quizzes for others. It's not really clear, however, how the story fits in.

Hi Kara
Thank you for your positive comments about the lesson plan and activities! The story fits as part of the dictionary quiz that the learners do (part 6 asks them to match 14 words in the story with the definitions on the quiz worksheet). Hope this helps.
