Alisa Shapiro-Rosenberg (Winnetka) told me this today:
My sister was at Target in LA yesterday and tripped on a basket and fell. A man behind her asked, “Are you okay, miss?” She got up and it was non other than ….Justin Bieber!! How embarrassing! TRUE STORY!!
Here is a story we could do that is based on that story, and serves as an example of how a simple event in every day life can lend itself to the creation of a wonderful and simple script for our level 1 classes:
Entering Target
is entering
trips
“Are you all right?”
Sammie is entering Target. She trips. Justin Bieber, who is behind her, asks, “Are you all right, miss?”
John is entering Burger King. He trips. The Ghost of Robin Hood, who is behind him, asks, “Are you all right, sir?”
Jen is entering a movie theatre. She trips. Michele Obama, who is behind her, asks, “Are you all right, miss?”
