مَرْحَبًا يَا أَصْدِقَائِي.

Hello, my friends.

عَامٌ دِرَاسِيٌّ سَعِيدٌ.. أَنَا هُنَا لِلْمُسَاعَدَةِ!

Happy school year! I am here to help.

سَأَصْحَبُكُمْ فِي رِحْلَتِكُمْ دَاخِلَ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ.

I will be your guide through this book.

إِنْ وَجَدْتُمُونِي فَاقْرَءُوا إِرْشَادَاتِي جَيِّدًا..

If you find me, read my instructions carefully.

وَفِي بَعْضِ الْأَنْشِطَةِ، قَدْ تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى اسْتِخْدَامِ كُرَّاسَتِكُمُ الْخَاصَّةِ؛ لِتُبْدِعُوا فِيهَا.

For some activities, you may need to use your own notebook to show your creativity.

لَكِنْ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَبْدَأَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَقْتَرِحُوا اسْمًا لِي:

Before we begin, you need to suggest a name for me:

اكْتُبُوا عَلَى السَّبُّورَةِ الْأَسْمَاءَ الْمُقْتَرَحَةَ.

Write your suggestions on the board.

يَقْرَؤُهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ أَوْ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ.

Your teacher or one of you will read them aloud.

نَرْفَعُ أَيْدِيَنَا لِلِاسْمِ الْمُفَضَّلِ.

Raise your hands for your favorite name.

نَخْتَارُ الِاسْمَ الَّذِي حَصَلَ عَلَى أَكْثَرِ عَدَدٍ مِنَ الْأَصْوَاتِ.

We will choose the name that gets the most votes.

هَيَّا نَتَعَلَّمْ مُفْرَدَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً:

Let’s learn new vocabulary:

اسْمُ الرُّوبُوتِ.

Robot's Name.

أَنْشِطَةٌ لِلتَّدَرُّبِ عَلَى الْمُفْرَدَاتِ الْوَارِدَةِ فِي النَّصِّ.

Activities to practice the vocabulary from the text.

هَيَّا نَفْهَمُ وَنُنَاقِشُ:

Let’s understand and discuss:

أَنْشِطَةٌ بَسِيطَةٌ لِلتَّأَكُّدِ مِنْ فَهْمِكُمْ لِلنَّصِّ الْمَقْرُوءِ.

Simple activities to check your understanding of the text.

هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُسْتَعِدُّونَ لِلتَّحَدِّي:

Are you ready for the challenge?

مُنَاقَشَةٌ جَمَاعِيَّةٌ:

Group discussion:

هَيَّا بِنَا.

Let’s go.

قَسِّمُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِلَى مَجْمُوعَاتٍ صَغِيرَةٍ.

Divide yourselves into small groups.

عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَتَحَدَّوْا أَنْفُسَكُمْ؛ لِتُجِيبُوا عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَسْئِلَةِ.

Challenge yourselves to answer these questions.

وَتُنَاقِشُوا حَوْلَ مَجْمُوعَةِ أَسْئِلَةٍ ثُمَّ شَارِكُوا بَقِيَّةَ زُمَلَائِكُمْ مَا تَوَصَّلْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ.

Discuss the questions together, then share your conclusions with the rest of the class.

نَتَعَرَّفُ بَعْضَ الْمُصْطَلَحَاتِ الَّتِي سَتَجِدُونَهَا دَاخِلَ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ:

Let’s look at some terms you will find in this book:

تَحَدِّي الدَّقِيقَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ:

The One-Minute Challenge:

عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُظْهِرُوا قُدْرَتَكُمْ عَلَى التَّحَدُّثِ حَوْلَ أَمْرٍ مَا خِلَالَ دَقِيقَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.. وَأَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِأَنَّكُمْ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ.

Show that you can speak about a topic for one minute—I am confident you can do it.

بِطَاقَةُ الشُّكْرِ وَالتَّقْيِيمِ:

Thank-you and Evaluation Card:

هُنَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَمِعُوا بِدِقَّةٍ لِمَا يَعْرِضُهُ زَمِيلُكُمْ ثُمَّ تَكْتُبُوا لَهُ رِسَالَةً تَشْكُرُونَهُ فِيهَا وَتُوَضِّحُونَ لَهُ رَأْيَكُمْ فِيمَا عَرَضَ.

Listen carefully to your classmate's presentation, then write them a note thanking them and sharing your thoughts on what they presented.

أَصْنَعُ قَامُوسِي:

My Personal Dictionary:

جَدْوَلٌ مُخَصَّصٌ لِتَكْتُبُوا فِيهِ الْمُفْرَدَاتِ الْجَدِيدَةَ الَّتِي تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهَا فِي النَّصِّ.

A table for you to record the new vocabulary you learned in the text.

Reading with the Family:

قِصَّةٌ مُشَوِّقَةٌ لِلْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَطْ، وَلِلِاسْتِمْتَاعِ بِهَا مَعَ أُسَرِكُمْ.
