Objective & Plot Summary

Objective: To initiate students into the comprehension of a short story in English, by identifying the characters (good/bad) and the main stages of a plan.

Summary: While on holiday at Loch Ness, two children discover that dishonest tourists want to ruin the local shopkeepers. To drive them away, they decide to use their own weapon: the legend of the monster! With the help of a friend, they stage a nighttime scene to frighten away the unwanted visitors.

Suggested Lesson Flow

1. Before Listening (~5 min): TRIP TO SCOTLAND

**Anticipation:** Show the map of Scotland (page 3). "Where is Loch Ness? What is the monster's name?".
**Vocabulary:** Introduce keywords with images: loch (lake), monster, guest house, shop.

2. During Listening (~20 min): THE LOCH NESS ADVENTURE

**Segmented listening in 3 parts:**
- **Part 1 (The Problem):** Listen until the children overhear the Ropers' conversation.
  
  **Pause:** "Who are the 'bad guys'? What is their bad plan?".
- **Part 2 (The Idea):** Listen to the spider scene.
- **Part 3 (The Plan):** Listen to the final scene with the monster staging and the Ropers' departure.

3. After Listening (~10 min): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

**Discussion:** "Was the children's plan good? Funny? Scary? Are the Ropers coming back?".
**Simple Task:** Ask students to draw either Jock's "fake" monster ("Big Nessie"), or the "real" monster that Sophie sees at the end. They write a word below it: "Big Nessie" or "The real monster".

Adaptations

**To Simplify:** Create two columns on the board: "Good characters" (Adam, Sophie, Mrs Mackintosh...) and "Bad characters" (Mr & Mrs Roper). Students help to classify the characters as they appear in the story.
**To Extend:** In small groups, students imagine and mime Mrs Roper's reaction when she sees the monster at her window.
