Question

(CONCURSO CRATO/2021) According to Brown (2001), an elementary school teacher once asked her students to take a piece of paper and pencil and write something. A little boy raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I ain’t got no pencil."The teacher, somewhat perturbed by his grammar embarked on a barrage of corrective patterns: "I don’t have a pencil. You don’t have a pencil. We don’t have pencils."Confused and bewildered, the child responded, "Ain’t nobody got no pencils?". This example shows that children of certain age are focused on the here and now, on the functional purposes of language. About that, choose the ONLY alternative which best illustrates a tip for teaching children of such age.
