Unit 1. A leaflet from a native English speaking country

Unit 1, Lesson 3, Pages 22,134

PROJECT

A leaflet from a Native English speaking country

Educational scenario

Students collect information about countries whose official language is English. They will create a leaflet by using material they find by different sources and they will present in class. For their presentation they can use a PPT or make their own paper leaflet. After the presentation they can store the information they collected in a plastic bottle in class as a time capsule.

Educational Purpose

Students practice research, writing and presentation skills. They also learn how to cooperate and in order to enhance the feeling of working together towards a target we named the groups after the Harry Potter story.

Project Plan

Step 1

Students are grouped into 5 teams of 5 members and they are assigned a native English speaking country. For this year the groups have been assigned the following countries:

Group Names: Countries

  1. Gryffindor: Ireland
  2. Slithering: Australia
  3. Hufflepuff: New Zealand
  4. Ravenclaw: The USA
  5. Order of Phoenix: Canada

Step 2

Collect information about the country you are assigned. You may use encyclopedias, Geography books, tourist guides, web sites or anything else you find useful. Present the information in class with pictures of the country and some short texts giving basic information about this country (You may use text from p. 22 for help).

For the creation of this project you may find helpful to use the following pieces of information:

1.Name of the country, borders and general info e.g how old the country is, the most important historical fact and a map.

2. Pictures of Landmarks e.g The Big Ben for the UK.

 

3. A poem or any other literature excerpt by the most famous writer of the country

 

4. Other important and famous people e.g. politicians, heroes, actors and actresses

 

5. A song e.g  a traditional one or a famous one –use the YouTube link for the presentation and you can also write a part of it on the poster

 

6. A recipe e.g this could be something very simple but traditional for the country.

 

7. Any piece of information you think it is important and represents the country.

 

Step 3

Once students collect the pieces of information and the relevant pictures they create a PPT using the material. (If you cannot create a PPT the teacher will do that for you as long as you provide the information. Note that you need to write the different parts of your work on little pieces of paper for storing them in capsules)

 

Step 4

Students present their PPT

 

Step 5

Students store the material in a capsule to keep it in class.

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.
