Story notes

Unit 4 Catandmouse

The following stories can be used to extend the topie in each unit. The language input is richer than the core language input of the Class Book, so it is suggested that the stories are used as a follow-up at the end of the unit. Activities with the stories will be particularly suitable for children in the upper rangę of ability. The stories are recorded on the Teacher's Resource cassette which accompanies Fanfarę 1, and the accompanying visuals in this Teacher's Book (pp. 119-26) can be photocopied for class-room use.
