Introduction:
Life is unpredictable and can throw challenges our way when
we least expect it. It is essential to be prepared to face such challenges,
especially during emergencies. In this story, "Man Overboard," we
will read about a little girl named Vasantha, who showed courage and quick
thinking during a critical situation. This story will inspire us to be
vigilant, brave, and act quickly in emergencies.
Guided Reading:
The teacher reads the Supplementary with proper stress,
pause, and intonation. Students listen silently at the first time. Second time
they repeat after the teacher. They read in small groups.
The Teacher’s activity:
• Divide the students into small groups and ask them to
discuss the following questions:
• What do you think would have happened if Vasantha had not
acted quickly and called for help?
• How do you think Vasantha felt after she saved the man's
life?
• What qualities do you think are essential for staying calm
during emergencies?
• How can we prepare
ourselves for emergencies?
The Student’s activity:
Group Presentation:

the students to work in groups and prepare a short skit about an emergency
situation. They can use their imagination or base it on a real-life incident.
After they finish preparing, ask each group to perform their skit for the
