Narrate your plan to your classmates. Recitation (Individual) Learn this poem by Tony Mitton and recite it in class. There are many ways to travel And one that I like, Is to zoom down a hill, On a mountain bike. There are many ways to travel And another that is nice, Is to slide on a sledge, On the snow and ice. There are many ways to travel And isn’t it fun, To sail on the sea, In the wind and sun? There are many ways to travel But the best by far, Is to ride on a rocket, To a distant star! 84 JSNR_BGM_1010019_Alpine-G3-FoundationMax-English-FY_Text.pdf___90 / 104
