A year ago, I started in a new theater group and I didn’t know any of the kids in the group. Our first meeting was a total disaster.

They were all so different from the kids in my old group and very different from me. One had blue hair, another talked all the time – I mean, all the time! One had brought a vegan sandwich and just sat in the corner, eating. It was all very weird, and I felt so stupid! It was nothing like my old group!

When I came home, I told my dad I didn’t want to go back to the new theater group. Even though I love acting, and I really wanted to keep it up, I felt like I couldn’t because I had absolutely nothing in common with those people. But dad didn’t buy that and used his parent voice and said: “Those people? I bet you are more alike than you are different.” He said I needed to go back and try to see beyond the exterior, beyond the blue hair and the vegan sandwich.

That I probably was as alien to the girl with the vegan sandwich as she was to me with my turkey sandwich. That I needed to be a little bit more curious and a little less judgmental.

I felt I didn’t have much of a choice and, without really believing his words, I decided to give it one more chance. So, I went back.

And I tried to be curious. I looked for similarities, not differences. I felt shy, stupid, you name it, but to my surprise it turned out that the blue-haired girl and I shared the same taste in music – heavy metal!

The talkative boy was just every bit as nervous as I was, and when he calmed down, he turned out to be a great listener, too. Who would have guessed?

Now I just love my new theater group and can’t understand my first reaction. Imagine if I hadn’t gone back! I hate to admit that my dad was right, but he was, he really was.

This got me thinking about how we react to strangers. We are so suspicious, and we treat them as if they were aliens from another

planet, or something. Why? They probably experience the same emotions and thoughts as you and I do. They laugh, get frustrated, get angry and make up, think and overthink, just like I do all the time. They probably also do many of the same things that we do.

They wake up, brush their teeth and set out to do their daily thing the best they can – go to school, play basketball, have dinner, do homework, just chill, charge their phones – and then they brush their teeth again and go back to sleep.

We won’t always have the time or energy to make friends with everyone we meet. I know that, but maybe we can at least try to understand each other and open up so new people don’t end up being aliens.

So, to all of you who might be nervous about this new school year – don’t be! Try to be curious! Look for similarities, not differences.

Make friends, or at least reduce the number of aliens and strangers in your life. We are, after all, more alike than we are different! Now I got really serious, but it’s true, isn’t it?

Let me know what you think and be sure to check in again next week for an update! Until then – take care!

Sports? Music?

2. Do you know what the word stereotype means?

In the days of cavemen and hunting, being able to tell a friend from an enemy quickly was probably the most efficient way to stay alive. If you took an enemy for a friend by mistake, you could be killed because you didn’t get away in time. If your friends mistook you for an enemy, they could accidentally harm you. Therefore, it was important to show other people which group you belonged to and to recognise both your own group and others quickly. As humans are herd animals, we also needed to find and belong to a larger group to feel happy and safe.

Consequently, our brain developed the skill of quickly scanning and categorising people.

Group identity Today, our brain still puts people we meet into different groups or categories. Even if millions of years have passed and we don’t risk being killed, we want to find people who are like us, and we want to know how to act and react when we meet others. That is why we continue to send out signals as to which group we belong to. Maybe we wear certain clothes or maybe we have tattoos to show our group identity.

Maybe we talk or walk in a certain way. This is simply a result of our history and the way our prehistoric brain works.

Negative consequences There are negative consequences of categorising people, though.

Imagine you are afraid of dogs. One day you meet a dog owner who shouts at you when you ask her to hold her dog in as you pass. The next time you meet a dog owner, you might be afraid that the same thing will happen again.You might think that all dog owners are angry people because of your previous bad experience and start avoiding them. It could be a good strategy that would save you from being shouted at again, but could your assumption about all dog owners really be true?

You cannot just give everyone within a specific group the same features.

Stereotypes Have you heard that all pale, freckly and red-headed people must be from Scotland or Ireland? Or that short, brown-haired people that move their hands when they talk are from Italy? Another similar belief is that all people from Scandinavian countries are tall, blond and blueeyed. Do you think these ideas are true? Of course they aren’t true – they are examples of stereotypes. A stereotype is a widely spread and fixed idea about a whole group of people based on what is only true about some of the people in that group. It’s another way to categorise people that will often mislead you.

So, the next time you jump to a quick conclusion about somebody or hear something about another group of people just remember how your prehistoric brain works.

Reading comprehension 1. Why was it important to identify another person quickly in the days of cavemen and hunting?

2. Why do we still categorise people today?

3. How do we show what group we belong to now?

4. What negative consequences are there if you are quick to categorise someone?

5. What is a stereotype?

6. How can a stereotype mislead you?

LANGUAGE WORK

MAKE YOURSELF UNDERSTOOD! It’s impossible to know all the words in the language you’re trying to learn. A strategy that can help you make yourself understood is to describe the word you don’t know but want to use.

Strategies you can use: You can describe the word: It has four legs and you sit on it. (a chair) You put one foot in front of the other and keep doing so for some time. (walk) You can tell what it does or what happens: You open it to enter a room or a building. (a door) When you put potatoes in a pot with water and heat them to 100 degrees Celsius. (boil) You can describe what it isn’t: It isn’t late, it is … (early) It isn’t long, it is … (short) You can say what kind of word it is: Nouns – words for things, animals and places. (bread, cat, London) Verbs – activities, things that you do. (laugh, breathe, play) Adjectives – how things look, feel, smell, taste or sound. (good, loud) Practise describing these words in pairs: eat

happy

horse

red

start

brave

Do you want to practise more? Your teacher has more information.

Describing words is a great way to work with new words. Make it a habit of doing this with your classmates from time to time.

GRAMMAR WORK

WRITE

MY CLASSMATE After interviewing your classmate in the exercise Interview a Classmate, you now have a lot of information. Write a text about your classmate, a portrait.

Write your text in third person narrative, which means you use he or she when you write about your classmate. For example: His name is Jack, and he loves playing basketball.This is my classmate Olivia.

She wants to have a dog when she gets older.

You are writing an informal text so you may be personal and include your own thoughts.You could for instance write: Did you know that … or A funny thing about her is …

Make sure to include at least three pieces of information about your classmate in your portrait.

A text about Parisa could start like this: This is my friend Parisa. She is 12 years old and she thinks that pizza is the best food you can eat. She describes it like this, ‘It’s bread – which is good – and you can also put whatever you want on it.You can use only vegetables if you want, or different kinds of meat. And then there is cheese – which is also good.’ Parisa likes pizza so much because you can make it different every time. It never gets boring.

A funny thing about Parisa is that she has been to Italy and she learned to make pizza there …

ssen arbeta Med Peak kan hela kla var och en med samma tema – måga. för sin mot toppen av

Fem teman med en mångfald av perspektiv Peak erbjuder fem fullmatade och fängslande teman som är lite utöver det vanliga. Strukturen är tydlig, men variationen är stor och det bjuds på en mångfald av ämnen, perspektiv, genrer, engelska röster och uppgiftstyper. I varje tema finns film, två texter varav en är en faktatext, en hörövning samt utvecklande uppgifter som tränar alla färdigheter.

Tre nivåer stödjer och fördjupar Stream, Support och Stretch är de tre nivåer som Peak är indelat i.

Stream är utgångspunkten för klassens arbete och finns både tryckt och digitalt. I det digitala läromedlet finns Support, med förenklade texter och stödstrukturer samt Stretch med nya utmaningar inom temat i form av ytterligare texter och uppgifter.

Peaks textbok är en allt-i-ett-bok med både texter och övningar.

Textboken kan återanvändas eftersom eleverna dokumenterar sitt arbete på valfritt sätt utanför boken.

Digitalt läromedel med inlästa texter och filmer I det digitala läromedlet finns alla tre nivåerna; Stream, Support och Stretch. Texterna i Stream och Support är inlästa med många olika regionala varianter av engelska. Det finns självrättande ordövningar baserade på varje temas texter och autentiska filmer som introducerar respektive tema. Digitalt finns också två fristående spår; Word Challenge Online som tränar högfrekventa ord och Grammar Work Online med förklarande filmer.

Till Peak 7 hör också ett värdefullt lärarpaket med såväl handledning som extra resurser.
