Listen and repeat.

3A. Conversation 1

1. Model: Say both parts of the conversation several times. Use A and B cards, stick figures, or change your physical position to indicate the dual parts. Role-play the parts to convey the meaning of the conversation. Students are to watch and listen.

2. Repeat: Say one line at a time and have students repeat until they can be understood.

3. Solo: You begin the conversation and call on individual students to respond. Then reverse the roles (students are A, you are B).

4. Once students can do both parts, encourage free conversation (students substitute their own words for the blue words).

5. Explain that “AM” and “PM” are both abbreviations of Latin terms and refer to a specific time of day: AM (ante meridiem) means “before noon,” so it refers to the morning. PM (post meridiem) means “after noon,” so it refers to any time after midday.

2. Repeat: Say the sound and each word several times, having students repeat each time after you in unison. Be sure to use your normal voice and rate of speed. Do one column at a time, top to bottom. Then read the sentences below the chart.

�3. Solo: Call on individuals to say a sound and its word group. Give lots of praise.

4. Challenge: Choose another sound from the lesson that is challenging for your particular students to pronounce. Use words from Parts 1 and 2 of the lesson, and from previous lessons to make a group of 3-5 words. You may repeat the same challenging sounds in several lessons. Students need a lot of practice on sounds that do not exist in their first language.

Joseph Rises from Prison to Palace

Genesis 39:20-23; 40:4-22;

41:14-57; 42:3-25; 45:3-5

Joseph was in prison for many years. One day the Pharaoh was angry with two servants, a wine server and a baker. He put them in prison.

14 of 38

That night they both had dreams. In the morning they told their dreams to Joseph.

Joseph told them God is the only one who can explain dreams. Joseph gave the correct meaning of their dreams. The wine server went back to work for the Pharoah. The baker was killed.

15 of 38

Two years later the Pharoah had a dream. No one in Egypt was able to give its meaning. The Pharoah got angry. Then his wine server said, “There is a man in prison who gives the correct meaning of dreams.”

16 of 38

The Pharoah called Joseph from prison. Joseph said, “Your dream is from God. He will send seven good years, then seven years of famine. You need to prepare for the famine.”

17 of 38

So the Pharoah made Joseph ruler of Egypt. Joseph stored much food. Then seven years of famine came. Joseph saved all the people from famine.

18 of 38

�

During the famine, Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy food. They did not recognize Joseph. He tested them. Then

he told them, “I am Joseph,

your brother.” They were very afraid. Joseph cried and

forgave his brothers.

19 of 38

�

Then Joseph’s father, brothers, wives and children all came to live in Egypt. God blessed them.
