9、the English learning. The reasons why I choose it as a learning material: 1. The students will learn different adjectives such as the fastest, the fanciest, the highest, the best, the sparkliest and the tallest. It is a good expanded story for Unit 6 in Superminds. 2. We read not only the words and
10、sentences in the story , but also something more important for the Violet-like and the Rosie-like. Everyone cannot be the best always, just be the best of what you are.
