UNIT 1. My Geography project: My favourite country (6th GRADE)
Based on the 6th Grade Coursebook, Lesson 3, Page10
PROJECT
My Geography project
Educational scenario
Students work in groups and find information about a country of their choice in order to upload it on the school blog and inform younger students. They also need to find photos, maps or whatever they like to attach. They may bring pictures from magazines, prior to the activity or find them in the internet.
Once the students are done with their research and the collection of their material, they need to present their work and include it in their portfolio. Then, they are encouraged to stick their collective project on the school board where other pupils or parents can see. If students have friends in other countries, they are encouraged to e-mail their work.
Educational purpose:
Students are encouraged to practice their research, creative and communicative skills by finding relevant info and sort it out, by creating drawings or maps and by collecting material.
Project Plan
Step 1
Students are grouped in 4 teams, discuss and decide which country they are going to work on. For this year, my students decided to work on:
Group 1: FRANCE
Group 2: SWITZERLAND
Group 3: CHINA
Group 4: JAPAN
Step 2
Students gather information and material to bring in class which falls into the following categories:
- Name of the country and borders
- Landscape
- The Weather
- The People
- Writers’ opinion
Step 3
Students collaborate in class by discussing their material and decide which of it is going to be included in each category. They write 4 paragraphs entitled with the above mentioned categories. They stick their text and the creative and/or printed material on a poster. They can also include the text into their personal portfolios.
Step 4
The teacher collects their work and creates a Sway which presents students’ collective work and educational product and post it on the school blog.
UNIT 1. My Geography Project: My Greece (6th GRADE)
This project was based on the layout of the Geography project, Lesson 3, Unit 1 of the 6th Grade Coursebook and its purpose was to foster the 4 Cs (Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication) on an educational level and to practise Speaking and Writing skills on a linguistic level.
The format of their educational product followed the layout of the book because this would give them a rubric to refer to. More specifically the layout was the following:
- Name of Country-Borders
- Landscape
- Weather
- People
- Feelings
Students were divided into 5 groups of 4. They needed to compose a product namely write a report by working the first 4 parts. Each group needed also to decice who of its members would undertake to find the material for each aspect of the topic apart form the last one -Feelings- which they had to discuss and write on a plenary level in class time. When they finished, their report was handed in and made into a presentation which was discussed in class.

Corrections and new instructions were given and the groups were assigned with a different task: Each group needs now to work on ONE of the five dimensions of the project and bring visual material as well.

| 1. Narrator:
In Ancient Greece there is a girl named Hermia who loves a young man Lysander. However, her father says she must marry Demetrius but she does not want to. She and Lysander escape to a forest. Helena is Hermia’s friend and loves Demetrius. Helena and Demetrius also run away to the forest. Soon, they get tired and they fall asleep under the trees. In the forest, there is Nick Bottom, an actor and his group, who are putting on a play. Farther through the forest the queen of fairies Titania is arguing with her husband, Oberon who is very angry with her. So, he sends Puck, the playful sprite, to bring the juice from the love flower to make her love him again. 2. Puck: Ha, ha! I’ll play a trick on all these people! I’ll turn this man to a donkey. Abracadabra! You, Nick Bottom, are a donkey! (Nick becomes a donkey) 3. Oberon: (angrily) Give me the magic juice. I’ll put some of it in Titania’s eyes myself. When she wakes up, she will fall in love with the first one she sees. This will be me. 4. Titania: Where am I? (Looking at Nick Bottom) Oh, my love! Who are you? You are so handsome! 5. Nick: (running away) Help! Help! |
4. Titania:
Where are you going my love! Come back to me! 2. Puck: Ha, ha, ha! Let me put some flower juice in Lysander’s eyes now. Lysander: (wakes up and sees Helena) Oh, I am desperately in love with you! How beautiful you are! 6. Helena: What’s wrong with you? Don’t you love Hermia any longer? 7. Lysander: Hermia? Who is she? You are my love! 2. Puck: Ha, ha, ha! Let me put some flower juice in Demetrius’ eyes now. 8. Demetrius: (wakes up and sees Hermia) Oh, my darling Hermia! You are the prettiest girl in the world. I love you deeply and truly! 9. Hermia: (sadly) Oh, where is Lysander? Why isn’t he with me? He is my true love! (She is crying) 3. Oberon: (angrily) Come here Puck! Put everything back to normal. 2. Puck: All the play is just a dream! Everything that happens on a midsummer night in a magic forest is a dream. |
