Primary Chinese: Narrative Reading Comprehension — Tutor Lesson Plan (six questions, evidence)
Students read once and answer from feeling. This lesson gives them a scan for the story skeleton and a rule that every feeling needs evidence from the text.
Objectives — the student can organise a narrative with the six questions, support a character feeling with words from the text, and answer in full sentences with a reason.
01 Prerequisites (3-minute check)
If any of these fails, fix it before the lesson starts.
| Skill | Quick check | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|
| Paragraph meaning | Sum up one paragraph in a sentence | One clear sentence |
| Time words | Find “the next day”, “after school” | Circles the time words |
| Full sentences | Turn “Ming is happy” into a full sentence | Subject and predicate |
02 Lesson flow (45 minutes)
| Time | Stage | Tutor does | Student does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-8 min | Six questions | Scan paragraph one together | Scan paragraph two alone |
| 8-18 min | What happened | Ask for the event in one sentence | Answer in one sentence |
| 18-30 min | Feelings | Which words show he was nervous? | Find two pieces of evidence |
| 30-38 min | Answer format | Feeling + evidence + reason | Write one answer |
| 38-42 min | Fix errors | Board a copied paragraph | Count how much they copied |
| 42-45 min | Exit check | Three questions marked at once | Finish alone |
03 Teaching script (read it out)
Scene 1: Scan with six questions first
Do not read line by line at the start. Ask: when, where, who, what, why, and what happened in the end.
Once those six are answered, the details have somewhere to sit.
Once those six are answered, the details have somewhere to sit.
Student answers the six aloud and writes them beside the text.
Scene 2: Feelings need evidence
“How did he feel?” is not answered by “nervous” alone.
Find the words in the text: sweating hands, stammering. Those are the evidence.
Answer: he felt nervous because the text says his hands were sweating.
Find the words in the text: sweating hands, stammering. Those are the evidence.
Answer: he felt nervous because the text says his hands were sweating.
Student underlines the evidence and joins it with “because”.
Scene 3: Three-part answers
A feeling question takes: answer, evidence, explanation.
One sentence for each part, and never copy more than two sentences of the original.
One sentence for each part, and never copy more than two sentences of the original.
Warn: copying the whole paragraph scores nothing.
04 Question types and worked steps
| Type | Example | Steps | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find the event | What happened? | One sentence: who, what, result | From the text |
| Character feeling | How did he feel? | Feeling + evidence + reason | From the text |
| Word meaning | What does “stammering” mean here? | Explain from the context | Speaking in stops and starts |
| Paragraph meaning | What is paragraph three about? | One sentence, no details | From the text |
Sanity check (teach this): A feeling answer must be traceable to words in the passage; a plausible answer with no evidence does not score.
05 Independent practice (3 questions)
| Question | Answer | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Which sentence shows he was nervous? | Quote from the text | Quoting, not paraphrasing |
| What was the result in one sentence? | From the text | One sentence only |
| Explain “stammering” | Speaking in stops and starts | Using the context |
06 Common mistakes and what to say
| Mistake | Student writes | Say this |
|---|---|---|
| Copying the passage | two or three lines copied | Quote one sentence, then use your own words. |
| Feeling with no evidence | only “he was happy” | Find the words that show it. |
| Writing in the first person | “I think he is happy” | Write about the character, not yourself. |
| Wrong chronology | puts the ending first | Order the six questions before writing. |
07 Homework (paper, section and question numbers)
- Primary 5 Chinese paper — Part A, questions 1 to 4 (narrative comprehension)
08 Exit check (last 5 minutes)
| Question | Answer | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| What does “why” ask for? | The reason | All right: move to explanatory texts |
| The three-part answer | Answer, evidence, explanation | One wrong: re-teach evidence |
| How much may be quoted? | One or two sentences | Two wrong: return to the six questions |
09 Tutor FAQ
Vocabulary practice first?
Explain words as they appear; structure and evidence matter more here.
Stronger in English than Chinese?
Answer the six questions orally first; written work usually follows.
Should they memorise the answer pattern?
The three parts yes, but demonstrate the evidence hunt every time.
