أَتَأَمَّلُ الصُّورَةَ الْآتِيَةَ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ:

I look at the following picture and then complete the activity:

يَقُولُ شَاعِرُ الطُّفُولَةِ: "أُغَنِّي لَهُمْ، وَلَهُمْ أَكْتُبُ.. لِذَا قَلَمِي مُورِقٌ .... لِذَا دَفْتَرِي مُعْشِبٌ".

The poet of childhood says: 'I sing for them, and for them I write; that is why my pen is blooming, and my notebook is lush.'

أُحَدِّثُ زُمَلَائِي عَنْ عَنَاصِرِ الصُّورَةِ السَّابِقَةِ.

I talk to my classmates about the elements in the picture above.

أُخْبِرُ زُمَلَائِي بِعَنَاوِينِ الْكُتُبِ وَاسْمِ الْمُؤَلِّفِ كَمَا أَرَاهَا فِي الصُّورَةِ.

I tell my classmates the book titles and the author's name as they appear in the picture.

أُضِيفُ إِلَى الصُّورَةِ السَّابِقَةِ عِبَارَةً تَصِفُ هَذِهِ الشَّخْصِيَّةَ.

I add a phrase to the picture that describes this character.

أَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى النَّصِّ مُتَجَنِّباً مُقَاطَعَةَ الْمُتَحَدِّثِ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ:

I listen to the text without interrupting the speaker, then complete the activity:

أُسَمِّي الشَّاعِرَ الَّذِي تَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ النَّصُّ، وَأَذْكُرُ جِنْسِيَّتَهُ.

I name the poet the text discussed and state his nationality.

أُخْبِرُ زُمَلَائِي عَنِ اسْمِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي نَشَأَ فِيهَا الشَّاعِرُ، وَعَنِ الْأَحْلَامِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَحْلُمُ بِهَا.

I tell my classmates the name of the village where the poet grew up and describe the dreams he used to have.

أَقْتَرِحُ عُنْوَاناً آخَرَ لِلنَّصِّ.

I suggest a different title for the text.
