This humorous first chapter makes a great short story. It helps to teach the words for a computer for ESL or multi-language learners. Visual aids have been added to help with the vocabulary and literature interpretation. This is great reading practice with something that isn’t too young for older learners. It also includes some literary devices and story elements such as character, setting, and plot. Have the students retell the story using key words to practice with the language. Explore why it is relatable and funny.
Fredrik Backman’s opening story is a great way to highlight good writing and to look at assumptions.
The lesson has been made for you, and you can cover or skip any part that may not suit your students.
Have fun!
