Edward’s Missed Practice: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 13–18. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Learners can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; learners do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

rehearse: Practise something before a performance.
absent: Not present in a place where someone was expected.
frustrating: Making someone feel blocked or annoyed.
privacy: Control over personal information or space.
uncertain: Not sure what is happening or what something means.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Use an invented missed meeting to distinguish facts from guesses. Agree a reasonable check-in plan while respecting personal information and allowing honest disappointment.
