PROCEDURES
1. Draw the same frequency table from Worksheet 1 on the board and ask students:
“WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES?”
Use tally marks to show the results as you collect the data, then write the frequency in the appropriate column. Here is an example: suppose you have 16 students, 10 of them have dark brown eyes, 3 have light brown eyes, 2 have green eyes and 1 has blue eyes. Your frequency table should be as follows:
2. Draw a bar graph and display the results. Do the same with a circle graph. Remember that your circle graph will have as many parts as the number of students interviewed in class. Using the same example from Procedure 1 the bar graph should be as follows:
And the circle graph:
3. Teach them how to turn the results into percentage. E.g. you have 16 students, 10 of them (10/16) have brown eyes, 3 of them (3/16) have hazel eyes, 2 of them (2/16) have green eyes, and 1 of them (1/16) has blue eyes. So, we have:
4. Give out Worksheet 1 and read the instructions with them.
5. When they come back, help them complete the bar graph and make conclusions about the result. They should now write their conclusions. Help them write sentences such as: There are more people with brown eyes than people with hazel eyes. There are as many people with blue eyes as people with green eyes. There are fewer people with green eyes than people with brown eyes.
6. Give out a copy of the circle from Appendix 1 (one circle for each student). Tell them to fold the circle in 16 parts (fold it 4 times). Then, ask them to cover the lines with a pencil using a ruler. They have to make the circle graph according to the results. Tell them to use colors to represent each eye color.
7. Ask them to calculate the percentage of each result. A good idea would be to write the percentage in the circle graph.
8. Give out Worksheet 2 and have students complete it.

PROCEDURES
1. Tell students that now that they have learned a lot of facts about different countries, they will write some sentences about them. These sentences will also be used in preparation for their oral presentation.
2. Give out the letter addressed to parents/guardians and read it in class. Clarify any questions students might have about how they are going to be assessed. Do not forget to date the letter and remind everyone that parents/guardians must acknowledge that they received it.
3. Part I – the oral assessment: in preparation for their oral presentation, students need to write ten sentences in the Simple Present Tense about one of the countries they studied. They must write:
– Grammatically correct sentences using the verb to be and other verbs in the affirmative and at least two in the negative form.
– At least two correct sentences in the comparative form.
4. Students may do some research on the Internet and/or use the information from their worksheets. Encyclopedias or other books may also be used. Emphasize that they cannot use any translator browser, only references with content already in English. The idea is for them to use only authentic material for two reasons: it is a reliable source of information and it will keep learners from making bad translations from L1 into English. More than two sources must be used.
5. Revise the students’ work. First, mark the mistakes and give them a chance to edit their work themselves. Then, do a final revision.
Note: check Appendix 1 for further explanation about how to proceed at this moment.
6. Encourage students to illustrate their oral presentation with pictures that may be displayed on a poster or a presentation. This step may be done at home.
7. Students are not allowed to read during their oral presentation, so there must be no written texts on their posters or presentations. These aids are only meant to guide and enhance.
Note: since the theme is the same for everyone, it is advisable that students do not see each other’s presentation in advance.
8. Help students prepare for their presentations by asking them open-ended questions or encouraging them to look up lesser-known facts. Here are some suggestions:
–Tell me something else about… –Repeat what you said about…, please.
–Compare ______ to ______.
–What are the main differences between _______ and _______?
–What piece of information did you enjoy learning? Why?
Note: check Appendix 2 for further information aboutopen-ended/backup questions and samples.
9. Part II – the written assessment: give students the Written Task Assessment and ask them to write at least ten sentences about the selected country.
10. Upon completion of this activity, students must fill in the attached Self-Assessment sheet.
11. If time allows, discuss students’ self-assessment individually. Remind them that the two main objectives of this activity are to inform them about what they have and have not learned, and to discuss how they can improve. Upon the end of the assessment, collect all the worksheets and hand them in to the coordinators. Please, make sure that all papers have students’ names, the date, the teacher’s name, and the group code (if there is one).
12. When reading and revising the written assignments, make a list of students’ sentences that contain the most common or basic mistakes. Without mentioning who wrote each sentence, prepare a presentation, a poster, or an activity to be used in class.
13. Project the selected sentences and go over them together in class. This procedure can be done as a game.
14. Prepare a written exercise with those same sentences. Have students work on it individually and turn it in. Check their work and how much progress they have made since the written task.
15. Discuss the student’s progress with the coordinator and what can be done to improve their performance.

PROCEDURES
1. Write the word “travel” on the board. Elicit from students everything they can think of when talking about traveling. Use a graphic organizer – a circle in the middle with rays radiating from the center where you will write their associations. Elicit places they have been to, who they went with, what they took, how the trip was, how long they stayed there, the different types of money they are familiar with, etc. Write what they say on the board. Elicit from them as much as you can. Help them or ask other students to help when necessary. Ask them if they like to travel. If they prefer going by car or plane, train or ship, what are the advantages and disadvantages of traveling by car and by plane. Write their answers on the board in a graphic organizer T chart. Draw a T on the board and put Disadvantages at the top of one column and Advantages in the other. On the side, put car and below car write plane. Ask them if they have ever traveled by ship. Ask them where they went, who they went with, how they felt (ask them if they felt sea sick).
2. Elicit from students places they would like to visit. Ask them if they have ever traveled alone. Write the names of the places on the board. Show them the places on the map. If they do not say the names of the places you are going to focus on, try to guide them to say them. Ask them questions about these places, such as:
(?) “IN WHICH HEMISPHERE IS IT LOCATED?”
(?) “ON WHICH CONTINENT CAN YOU FIND IT?”
(?) “DO YOU NEED A VISA TO ENTER THIS COUNTRY?”
(?) “HOW IS THE WEATHER IN THIS COUNTRY?”
(?) “WHAT LANGUAGE DO THEY SPEAK THERE?”
(?) “WHICH MONETARY UNIT DO THEY USE?”
(?) “WHICH MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WOULD YOU USE TO GET THERE?”
(?) “WHO WOULD YOU GO WITH?”
(?) “HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU NEED TO TAKE?”
(?) “HOW LONG WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY THERE?”
(?) “WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES WOULD YOU HAVE TO TAKE?”
3. Elicit from students things they would need to do before traveling: getting a visa, passport, buy a ticket, book a hotel, learn the language or buy a dictionary, prepare suitcases or backpack, learn a bit about their culture. Help them when necessary.
4. Knowing about the culture of the country is another important aspect. Tell students how important it is to know about the cultural aspects of the country, because some things might seem nice to you but extremely impolite for other cultures. Show students the flashcards to give examples. In some countries men kiss each other and in others this is an offense. Some people have been arrested because of the type of clothes they were wearing. In Kuwait, if you go to the beach wearing a bathing suit, you will get arrested. They can only go to the beach wearing clothes, even in the water. Latin people like to stand really close to one another while speaking and look at each other’s eyes (show them usinga student as a volunteer). Americans like to have some distance (show them using a student as a volunteer). Italians like to talk using arm gestures. A gesture that could create enemies in some cultures is the “thumbs up” gesture. In some cultures, this means you did something great, in Australia it means something impolite. Food is another cultural problem if you do not know how to deal with it. Take Mexicans, for example: they love to eat the brain, the tongue and the cow’s head. This is very different from Americans who like the ribs, etc. Elicit from them any funny situation they have ever had because of cultural differences.
5. Divide the class into two or three groups. Stick the flashcards to a wall or to the board. Hand out a copy of Appendix 1 to each group. Ask them to put the sentences in order according to the flashcards they can see on the wall or on the board.
6. Hand out Worksheet 1, Pages 1 and 2. Give students some time to do it. Correct it.
7. Elicit from students what they think other countries think of their country. Make a chart of positive and negative thoughts. On the board, draw a T chart with “positive” and “negative” as column headings. Elicit the information from the students and write their responses in the correct column. Help them with vocabulary. Use words, such as: noisy, funny, creative, impolite, don’t follow rules, serious, open-minded, etc.
8. Hand out the poster board, the magazines, scissors, and glue. Ask students to divide the poster board into two parts. Have students make a poster with pictures of positive and negative aspects of their country.
9. Hand out Worksheet 2. Give students a few minutes to write the positive and negative aspects of their country.
10. Place the world map on the board. Divide your class into pairs or groups of three. Tell them they are going to play a game. Show students the suitcase you brought. Take out the objects of a specific place, Disney World, for example, and ask what each one is used for. Ask them the name of the object, where they use it or how they use it. Repeat the name of the object once and work on pronunciation. Elicit from them what season of the year they would use it. Show all the objects from that place. Ask them to try to guess which place it would be. When you take out the object, use it if possible. Have students ask questions using Simple Present. Help them make the questions. You can only answer “yes” or “no”.
Example questions:
(?) “IS IT IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE?”
(?) “IS IT COLD?” “IS IT HOT?”
(?) “IS IT NEAR AUSTRALIA?”

Good evening everyone, my name is William Goodball, and I’m here at High Kick Stadium and today’s game is going to rock. We have two great teams playing today: the Giants against the White Socks. The White Socks are going to the field. Ricardo, the pitcher, is holding the red rubber ball and he is going to the center of the field. Ricardo looks at home plate and sees the first kicker Isabella. She is standing there nervously waiting for Ricardo to roll the first ball. She concentrates and Ricardo rolls the ball towards home plate. Oh, no, the ball bounces, so Ricardo needs to repeat the roll. He catches the ball and rolls it again towards home plate. Isabella is looking at the ball carefully so she can kick it hard and make a home run. The ball reaches home plate. Wow, she kicks it really high and runs to first base and then tries for second base, while Ricardo and the rest of the team run after the ball. Bruno is standing next to second base waiting for the ball. Ricardo throws the ball to Bruno. Bruno catches the ball and throws it at Isabella just before she gets to second base. She is out!Incredible play! The White Socks run around the field celebrating. Now, there is one out for the Giants. The second kicker is Joseph and he is an excellent runner. Ricardo looks at him and rolls the ball towards home plate. Joseph kicks the ball and runs to first base. The ball goes over Bruno’s head and he has to run after it. Joseph runs to second then third base and looks at Bruno. Bruno picks up the ball and throws it to Ricardo, but Joseph is faster and is already heading for home plate. Home run Giants!

2. Ask students if they have ever eaten cake and what kind of ingredients are usually used. Write the ingredients they say on the board. Tell them this is a different kind of cake because it has pineapple in it. Have them guess what the other ingredients are. Write the name of the dessert on the board “Jamaican Cake.” Ask them what ingredient they are going to use to make it sweet (sugar) and how much they think they will need for this cake (2 and 1/2 cups). Ask a student to point to the cup among the utensils on the table.
3. Ask students to guess what the next ingredient is. Give them the following clues:
A. It is a tropical fruit, green on the outside and white on the inside;
B. Inside the fruit there is water and meat;
C. The water and meat are sweet, but sometimes they are sour, depending on the fruit. If needed, show them a real coconut or the picture of one. Encourage them to speak English at all times, guiding them if necessary.
4. Divide the class into groups of two or three. Show students the rest of the ingredients and utensils. Ask them to try to guess the names of everything they see, as well as the amount of each ingredient needed to make the cake. Write their answers on the board. Correct it out loud, giving each group a point for each correct answer.
5. Go through the list of ingredients and utensils one at a time and ask one student from one of the groups to get that corresponding item. Do this with everything on the list. Then, alternate pointing to one student at a time and having him/her hold up the ingredient or utensil they have, asking the rest of the class to repeat the name.
6. Hand out Appendix 1, one per group. Ask students to match the definitions with the words. Do this activity as a game. Reward the winning group.
7. Tell students that each one of them is going to help during the class. Find a volunteer for each action listed on Worksheet 1. Make sure the teacher is the one responsible for preheating the oven, placing the baking pan inside the oven, and taking it out, too. Practice the question: “WHO IS GOING TO…?”
8. Hand out Worksheet 1, Pages 1 and 2. Allow students some time to answer it. Go over it together, writing the answers on the board.

PROCEDURES
1. Tell students that now that they have learned a lot of facts about traveling in general and the specific country of Jamaica, they will write ten sentences about their traveling plans. They will start off writing the sentences about what they learned. Then, they will also be asked to do an oral presentation using their written work.
2. Give out the letter addressed to parents/guardians and read it in class. Clarify any questions students might have about how they are going to be assessed. Do not forget to date the letter and remind everyone that parents/guardians must acknowledge that they received it.
3. Part I – students will write ten sentences about a traveling plan they will create. They must write:
– two sentences using CAN, and another two using CAN’T;
– two sentences using WILL, and another two using GOING TO.
They have to add extra information to compose their writing.
4. Remember that students are assessed for learning and some of them are not ready to understand the language rules yet. Be patient during this process because they are still building their sense of responsibility too. That being the case, they may forget the assignment day or even refuse to do it. Talk to them in private to encourage and calm them down if necessary. It is also important to talk to their parents, who will likely be ready to assist if they understand the situation.
5. Students may do some research on the Internet and/or use the information from their worksheets. Encyclopedias or other books may also be used. Emphasize that they cannot use any translator browser, only references with content already in English. The idea is for them to use only authentic material for two reasons: it is a reliable source of information and it will keep learners from making bad translations from L1 into English. More than two sources must be used.
6. Revise students’ written production. First, mark the mistakes and give them a chance to edit their work themselves. Then, do a final revision.
Note: check Appendix 1 for further explanation about how to proceed at this moment.
7. Encourage students to illustrate their oral presentation with pictures that may be displayed on a poster or a presentation. This step may be done at home.
8. Students are not allowed to read during their oral presentation, so there must be no written texts on their posters or presentations. These aids are only meant to guide and enhance.
Note: since the theme is the same for everyone, it is advisable that students do not see each other’s presentation in advance.
9. Help students prepare for their presentations by asking open-ended questions. Here are some suggestions:
– Tell me something else about…
– Repeat what you said about…, please.
– Compare ______ to ______.
– What are the main differences between _______ and _______?
– What piece of information did you enjoy learning? Why?
Note: check Appendix 2 for further information aboutopen-ended/backup questions and samples.
10. Part II – the written assessment: give students the Written Task Assessment and ask them to write at least ten sentences about their traveling plans. Their work needs to include:
– at least two sentences using CAN, two sentences using CAN’T, two sentences using WILL, two sentences using GOING TO, and extra information to compose their writing. (Same criteria for Procedure 3 – Part I.)
11. Upon completion of their written production, students must fill in the attached SelfAssessment sheet.
12. If time allows, discuss students’ self-assessment individually. Remind them that the two main objectives of this activity are to inform them about what they have and have not learned, and to discuss how they can improve. Upon the end of the assessment, collect all the worksheets and hand them in to the coordinators. Please make sure that all papers have students’ names, the date, the teacher’s name, and the group code (if there is one).
13. When reading and revising the written assignments, make a list of students’ sentences that contain the most common or basic mistakes. Without mentioning who wrote each sentence, prepare a presentation, a poster, or an activity to be used in class.
14. Project the selected sentences and go over them together in class. This procedure can be done as a game.
15. Prepare a written exercise with those same sentences. Have students work on it individually and turn it in. Check their work and how much progress they have made since the written task.
16. Discuss the students’ progress with the coordinator and what can be done to improve their performance.

• (EF06CI12) Identificar diferentes tipos de rocha, relacionando a formação de fósseis a rochas sedimentares em diferentes períodos geológicos.
PROCEDURES
1. Start by writing the word DINOSAURS in the middle of a circle on the board. Ask students what they know about dinosaurs. Use a graphic organizer in the form of a sun (rays extending from a circle) to write everything they say around the word on the board. If they do notmention fossils, write it anyway and make sure everyone knows what fossils are.Accordingto the Webster’s Dictionary, fossilsarethe mineralized remains of animals or plants or other artifacts such as footprints.
2. Ask students how they think scientists find out the size of a fossilized animal (by rebuildingthe skeleton from the bones they extract). Scientists can also have a very good idea of the muscles the animal had because muscles are fixed onto the bones and the marks can be seen. How about the soft parts, such as the eyes, the tongue, the internal
organs? Ask students how they think scientists reconstruct those parts (either by guessing or by comparing them to living animals).
3. Ask students aboutthe skin texture. Impressions ofdinosaur skinhave been fossilized, so scientists can have a precise idea of the skin texture.
4. Ask students:
(?) “HOW ABOUT THE COLOR OF THE DINOSAURS?”
(?) “CAN SCIENTISTS REALLY KNOW WHAT COLOR THEY WERE?”
Give students some time to discuss it. After having them give their conclusions, tell them that the colors scientists have used to rebuild dinosaurs are just guesswork. No one can really know what color dinosaurs were from the fossils. It is all scientists’ and artists’ imagination.
5. Ask students if they know when dinosaurs lived (they lived in the Mesozoic Era which went from 250 million to 65 million years ago). Ask them: “WHAT KIND OF ANIMALS WERE THEY”? (Reptiles).
6. Ask them:
(?) “WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DINOSAURS AND OTHER REPTILES?” (Their leg anatomy. Dinosaurs had an upright stance on straight legs. In other words, their legs would extend straight under their bodies, not sprawling to the sides as other reptiles.)
To give students a better idea, draw the following on the board:
7. Divide the class into pairs or groups of three students. Give each group three cards and ask them to write a letter on each card from A to C.
8. Show the first question on the Presentation and read it. Give students about 30 seconds to decide their answer and, at your signal, they must raise the card with the answer they have chosen.
9. Have them read their answer aloud so you can work on pronunciation. Give one point for each correct answer.
10. Give out Worksheet 1, Page 1 and tell students they will work in pairs or small groups to find out some data about a dinosaur on the internet. Each pair or group will be assigned a different dinosaur. They must follow the example and give complete answers to the questions on the worksheet.
11. Read the example to them (information from suggested link).
Dinosaur: TROODON [‘troh-o-don]
1. What does its name mean?
Answer: It means “wounding tooth.”
2. How long was it?
Answer: It was 2 m – 3.5 m long.
3. How much did it weigh?
Answer: It weighed 50 kg.
4. Was it a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore?
Answer: It was a carnivore.
5. What did it eat?
Answer: It ate meat.
6. When did it live?
Answer: It lived about 76-70 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.
7. Where did it live?
Answer: It lived in North America (Canada and USA).
8. How did it move?
Answer: It walked fast on two legs.
9. An interesting fact about it:
Answer: It had the largest brain in proportion to its body weight, so it may have been the smartest dinosaur.
12. Here are the names of the dinosaurs students must find out about: Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus rex, Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus, Iguanodon, Megaraptor, Triceratops, Eoraptor, Brachiosaurus. If there are few students in your group, ask students to choose the dinosaur they want.
13. Tell them that after finishing their research, they will present what they found out to the other students the following class. They may even make a poster to illustrate their work. While they present their poster, the other students will complete Worksheet 1, Pages 2-5 with the information they get from the presentations.
14. Go to the lab and tell students to access the site written on the board: https://s.systemic.com.br/dinosinfo, find their dinosaur and answer the questions. There is a FACT SHEET about each dinosaur and a more detailed page if they click on LIST OF DINOS. They may access a different website as long as they complete their task.

1. Ask them if they enjoyed the field trip and which supermarket they think is cheaper.
2. Give out Worksheet 1. Read the questions and allow time for the students to answer them. (They will need to check the information from Worksheet 1, Pages 1 and 2 – L3.) This is not an easy exercise. Assist your students especially with vocabulary.
3. If time allows, play a memory game using food items. Students make a circle. The first one (you can choose him/her) says:
– I went to the supermarket and I bought some ________ (any food item).
The second one says the first sentence and adds another item. Each student in the sequence says the previous sentence and adds another item. They can use the list of items from the worksheet or any other item that they can remember. The ones who cannot remember all the items or add a new one are out. As a follow-up, when the game is over, you can ask them to tell you all the items that came up during the game and you write them on the board. Ask them to read the words and help them with the pronunciation. Erase the board; give them one minute to write on a piece of paper as many items as they can remember. The student who writes more items wins the game. If you prefer, there can be two winners, the one who writes more items, regardless of the spelling, and the one who writes more items correctly.

PROCEDURES
1. Tell students they are going to gather information about an extinct animal and report about it in their oral and written evaluations.
2. Give out the letter addressed to parents/guardians and read it in class. Clarify any questions students might have about how they are going to be assessed. Do not forget to date the letter and remind everyone that parents/guardians must acknowledge that they received it.
3. Students may do some research on the Internet and/or use the information from their worksheets. Encyclopedias or other books may also be used. Emphasize that they cannot use any translator browser, only references with content already in English. The idea is for them to use only authentic material for two reasons: it is a reliable source of information and it will keep learners from making bad translations from L1 into English. They must find at least three websites about the animal and gather as much information as possible.
4. Part I – students have to write at least ten sentences, mainly in the Simple Past. Write the following questions on the board. Then, explain to the class that those questions are just a helpful guide to help them write their sentences. It is not necessary to answer all the questions, but they still have to write at least ten sentences using the Simple Past.
(?) “WHERE DID THE ANIMAL LIVE?”
(?) “WHEN DID IT BECOME EXTINCT?”
(?) “WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL WAS IT, A MAMMAL, A REPTILE, A BIRD, A FISH, OR AN AMPHIBIAN?”
(?) “WHAT WAS THE SIZE OF THE ANIMAL?”
(?) “HOW MUCH DID IT WEIGH?”
(?) “WHAT DID IT EAT?”
(?) “WAS IT A CARNIVORE, HERBIVORE, OR OMNIVORE?”
(?) “HOW DID IT MOVE?”
(?) “WHAT OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ANIMAL WERE INTERESTING/UNUSUAL?”
Note: ask students to use at least 6 different verbs.
5. Suggest that students start with the following introductory sentence:
– I have chosen the _______________ to talk/write about.
This introduction is not to be considered one of the ten sentences they have to write.
6. Revise the students’ work. First, mark the mistakes and give them a chance to edit their work themselves. Then, do a final revision.
Note: check Appendix 1 for further explanation about how to proceed at this moment.
7. Encourage students to illustrate their oral presentation with pictures that may be displayed on a poster or a presentation. This step may be done at home.
8. Students are not allowed to read during their oral presentation, so there must be no written texts on their posters or presentations. These aids are only meant to guide and enhance.
9. Help students prepare for their presentations by asking them open-ended questions or encouraging them to look up lesser-known facts. Here are some suggestions:
– Tell me something else about …
– Repeat what you said about…, please.
– Compare ______ to ______.
– What are the main differences between _______ and _______?
– What piece of information did you enjoy learning? Why?
Note: check Appendix 2 for further information aboutopen-ended/backup questions and samples.
10. Part II – the written assessment: tell students thatthe written task will consist of three parts:
1. In the first part, they will write sentences about the extinct animal they have researched about. Once again, theymust write at least ten sentences in the Simple Past.
2. In the second part, they will have to fill in the blanks with one of the given alternatives.
3. In the third part, they will complete questions and answers about the Tyrannosaurus Rex. In column 1, the questions are in the Simple Past tense. In column 2, they are in the Simple Present tense.
11. On the day of the written evaluation, give out the attached Written Task sheet.
12. Upon completion of this activity, students must fill in the attached Self-Assessment sheet.
13. If time allows, discuss students’ self-assessment individually. Remind them that the two main objectives of this activity are to inform them about what they have and have not learned, and to discuss how they can improve. Upon the end of the assessment, collect all the worksheets and hand them in to the coordinators. Please make sure that all papers have students’ names, the date, the teacher’s name, and the group code (if there is one).
14. When reading and revising the written assignments, make a list of students’ sentences that contain the most common or basic mistakes. Without mentioning who wrote each sentence, prepare a presentation, a poster, or an activity to be used in class.
15. Project the selected sentences and go over them together in class. This procedure can be done as a game.
16. Prepare a written exercise with the same sentences. Have students work on it individually and turn it in. Check their work and how much progress they have made since the written task.
17. Discuss the students’ progress with the coordinator and what can be done to improve their performance.

13. Divide the class into groups of three or four students. Ask them what they think Ancient Romans had for breakfast. Have them make a list of those foods and drinks. Give each group five points or five pieces of candy. Have the first group say one item from their list. If it is correct, give them a point or a piece of candy. If it is wrong, take a point or get a piece of candy back. Repeat the procedure with each group five times. Here are the items you may accept as correct answers: meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, cheese, olives, raisins, bread, olive oil, water.
14. Challenge. Ask students what Romans used to sweeten food and give two points to the group that gives the correct answer: they used honey.
15. Ask students:
(?) “DO YOU THINK POOR ROMANS HAD THIS KIND OF BREAKFAST?” (NO.)
Ask them what kind of food they think poor Romans had (only bread and water).

The group with the most correct answers is the winner. Collect the sheets and give out blank ones. Do the dictation the opposite way – you write the numbers in words on the board; students write the equivalent Roman numbers.
6. Get one of the boards and two players. Have them sit in the middle of the classroom. The other students should sit around them so everybody can follow their moves.
7. Tell them you are going to explain the rules of the game and the players must show them in action. Here are the rules and what students/you are supposed to do (in parentheses).
8. Give students time to practice the game using the boards and pieces they made. Give each pair three dice. Assist them with the rules.
9. As they play, try to have them use the language from the rules, “You can’t/cannot, you may, you must.”
10. Give out Worksheet 1, Page 1 and 2. As you read the rules, students try to complete the sentences. After completing each sentence, have students read them to practice pronunciation.
11. Give out Worksheet 1, Page 3. Answer Situation 1 together with students. Then, give them a few minutes to solve Situation 2. Correct it on the board.

PROCEDURES
1. Draw a T Chart on the board with Roman Calendar in one column and Our Calendar in the other. Make divisions on the left as follows:
(?) “HOW MANY MONTHS?”
(?) “HOW MANY DAYS?”
(?) “WHEN CREATED?”
(?) “WHO CREATED?”
(?) “WHAT CELESTIAL BODY?”
Elicit from students what they know about our modern-day calendar. If they do not give the following information, ask them: “HOW MANY DAYS ARE THERE?” (THERE ARE 365 DAYS.) “HOW MANY MONTHS ARE THERE?” (THERE ARE 12 MONTHS.)
They probably won’t know the answers to the following questions so have them guess, and then lead them to the correct answer.
(?) “WHEN WAS IT CREATED?” (It was created in 1582 but the last country to join the rest of the world in using it only accepted it in 1923.)
(?) “WHO CREATED IT?” (It was named for Pope Gregory XIII who asked a team of German mathematicians led by Christopher Clavius to invent it.)
(?) “WHAT CELESTIAL BODY HELPS TO GUIDE THE CALENDAR?” (The sun determined the length of the year.)
2. Next, have them guess the answers to the Roman calendar questions and fill in the chart.
1. When was the Roman calendar created? (The Roman calendar was created around 750 B.C.)
2. Who created it? (Romulus invented it.)
3. What celestial body did they use to guide them in their calendar? (They used the moon. It was called the lunar calendar.)
4. How many months did it have? (It had 10 months.)
5. How many days did it have? (It had 304 days.)
3. Ask students to look carefully at the information on the chart and make observations about the differences between the two calendars.
– What are the differences between the ancient Roman calendar and the one we use nowadays?
1. Our calendar has two more months than the Roman calendar.
2. Our calendar has 61 more days than the Roman calendar.
3. Our calendar is a solar calendar and the Roman one is a lunar calendar.
4. The Roman calendar was said to be created by a legendary person and the modern calendar was created by mathematicians.
5. The Roman calendar was created over 700 years before Christ (B.C.) and our calendar is only a little over 400 years old. (You can have them do exact calculations with the created date and the date when every country in the world was using it.)
Students may come up with other observations.
4. Ask students the names of the months in our calendar. Write them on the board. Ask them the date of their birthday. Teach them how to say it (March twenty-fifth).
5. Elicit from students what they know about Romulus. Ask them questions about Romulus using what, where, how, when etc.
6. Show students the Presentation. Show students the table. Ask them to read the first column. Elicit from them what the first name means, Martius (March). Ask a student to come to the board and write the name of the month in English. You may do this activity as a game. Give one point to the group if the student writes the name of the month correctly.
7. Show students the third column. Ask them if they know the origin of the name March. Give them some clues. Tell them the name March comes from a name of a Roman god. Repeat this procedure with all the names. From July to December they used ordinal numbers.
8. Tell students you are going to teach them a new way to know how many days there are in each month. Close your hand into a fist (see picture below). Ask students to do the same. Show them your knuckles (The joint that connects the finger to the hand.) Between the knuckles there is a space. The knuckle from the index finger or pointer represents January with 31 days. Then, they go to the space between the middle finger and the index finger that represents February with 28 days (29 in a Leap Year). Then, they must go to the middle finger knuckle that represents March; it has 31 days. They should notice the joint represents the months with 31 days and the spaces between the joints represents the months with 30 or 28 days. When they get to the pinky, or little finger, it represents two months, July and August because you need to go back for the rest of the months. Make sure they use the names of the months in English while they are practicing. Ask students questions about each month, such as:
(?) “HOW MANY DAYS DOES FEBRUARY HAVE?”
(?) “AND IN A LEAP YEAR?”

9. Show students the last column in the table. Ask them to complete the number of days in each month. Elicit from them the name of the months that are missing - January and February. Tell them that only during the period that Numa Pompilius ruled Rome, from 715 to 673 B.C., did he introduce two extra months. He also introduced 51 more days to the old calendar. Ask students how many days there were after he introduced 51 more days (355 days). Tell them the Romans were very superstitious. Ask students if they know what this word means. Explain it to them. Ask them about things that bring good luck (a four-leaf clover, a rabbit’s foot, a horseshoe, etc.) and bad luck (black cat, breaking a mirror, number 13, walking under a ladder, put hat on the bed, etc.). Romans believed even numbers brought bad luck, so in their calendar all months ended with odd numbers. Only one month had an even number and it was considered a bad luck month. Elicit from them the name of the month (February). Because of this superstition they took one day from each 30-day month, so the year was divided into eleven months with odd numbers and one with an even number as seen below.
• 31 days – March, May, July, October
• 29 days – January, April, June, August, September, November, December
• 28 days – February
10. Show students the second part of the Presentation. Divide the class into two or three groups. Ask for a volunteer to read the first paragraph. Do not show the whole text. Ask them questions about it.Make sure students use complete answers, if not, give the group only one point. If the answers are complete, give them two points.
(?) “WHO FOUNDED ROME?” (Romulus was the founder.)
(?) “WHEN WAS THE ROMAN CALENDAR CREATED?” (It was created around 750 b.c.)
(?) “WHY DID THEY USE A LUNAR CALENDAR?” (Because they thought Earth was the center of the universe.)
(?) “HOW MANY DAYS DID THE FIRST CALENDAR HAVE?” (It had 304 days.)
(?) “HOW MANY MONTHS DID IT HAVE?” (It had 10 months.)
(?) “HOW MANY MONTHS HAD 30 DAYS AND HOW MANY HAD 31?” (Six of them had 30 days and four of them had 31 days.)
11. Show students the second paragraph. Ask a student to read it out loud. Now, the same group must try to make questions for the other group. Each group must make three questions. Ask them to hand the questions to you. Choose one or two questions for each group. The group that creates the best questions gets two points. Make sure students use when, where, how, what, and which.
12. In the third paragraph,there are some blanks. Each group must try to figure out which words are missing.
13. Hand out Worksheet 1, Page 1, 2, 3, and 4. Allow students a few minutes to answer the questions. Correct it out loud.

PROCEDURES
1. Begin by asking students what they know about France. If you want, write their answers on the board.
2. Tell them that they are going to play a game about France. If they do not know the answer for the questions in the game they may guess. Divide the class in groups of three or four students. Give each group a set of cards with the letters for the answers. Explain that you are going to show a Presentation with questions about France. Each question has three options. You are going to show and read the questions and the choices. The groups have 30 seconds to discuss and choose one answer. They must pick the card with their answer and when you say:
– Please, show your answers.
They must show their cards so that everyone can see it. The groups with the correct card get one point.
Note: answer key at the end of this lesson plan.
After questions 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 the groups will have to answer open questions with no choices.Give outtheblank piecesof paper andexplain that they must write theiranswers and only show them when you say:
– Please, show your answers.
The groups will win one point for each correct answer and lose one point for each wrong answer. Here are the open questions and the answer key:
1. After question 2: Name the countries that border France. (They will win one point for each correct country and lose one for each wrong country). Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain.
2. After question 4: In which countries do the Danube, the Thames, the Arno and the Volga Rivers flow? (Explain that the Danube flows through ten countries but they only have to say one of them). The Danube: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary,Moldova,Slovakia,Romania, Ukraine, Serbiaand Montenegro; Thames: England/Great Britain/United Kingdom (any of them can be accepted); the Arno: Italy; the Volga: Russia. (Give one point for each correct answer)
3. After question 6: Where are the Andes (continent)? In South America.
4. After question 7: Where are Mount Everest and Mount Fuji (continent)? Asia.
5. After question 8: Name one of the first three car manufactures. Japan, USA, and Germany.
3. Write the words what, where, which, how, who, when, how many, how much, and name on the board (one below the other). Tell students to ask questions about anything they would like to know about France. Their questions must start with one of the words from the list you have written on the board. This is the time to “Focus on Form”. As students say their questions, write them on the board.
4. Give out Worksheet 1, read the text about France, and ask students to underline the words they do not know. When you finish reading, work on the new words, paragraph by paragraph. As students say the words they do not know, write them on the board and check if there is any student that knows the meaning of each word. While working on vocabulary, remember to use different techniques: give examples, demonstrate, rephrase, give synonyms, explain, ask students to say a new sentence using that particular word or expression. Always involve students as much as possible.
5. Tell them that they are going to play the Question Game. In their original groups they are going to create 5 open questions about the text and then ask another group. Their questions can start with: what, where, which, how, who, when, how many, how much, and name. Allow them some time to create their questions and help them with grammar.
6. When all groups have their questions ready, write the names or numbers of the groups on small pieces of paper (one name per piece of paper). Choose one group to ask. They read their question and then you draw one piece of paper to say which group will answer the question.Students cannot read their texts at thispoint. If the group knows theanswer, they win one point. If they do not know the answer, the group that asked the question wins the point.
7. Blank Game. Place the slips from Appendix 1, Pages 1 and 2, (face down) on a chair or table in the middle of the classroom. Each group picks one slip and tries to fill in the blank. If they know the answer, they must fill in the blank, write their name on the slip and give it back to the teacher. If they do not know the answer, they can put the slip back in the pile (with no name) and get another one. When there are no more slips in the pile, the teacher will read the sentences and give one point for each correct answer.

PROCEDURES
1. Tell students that their oral evaluation will be divided into two parts: a presentation about the daily life in Ancient Rome and a dialogue in a restaurant.
2. Give out the letter addressed to parents/guardians and read it in class. Clarify any questions students might have about how they are going to be assessed. Do not forget to date the letter and remind everyone that parents/guardians must acknowledge that they received it.
3. Students must write at least 16 sentences. They need to include at least four sentences in the NEGATIVE form in the Simple PRESENT tense and four sentences in the NEGATIVE form in the Simple PAST tense. Give them the following contrasting examples: In Ancient Rome people used honey to sweeten food. They didn’t use sugar. We use sugar to sweeten food. We don’t use honey.
4. Students may do some research on the Internet and/or use the information from their worksheets. Encyclopedias or other books may also be used. Emphasize that they cannot use any translator browser, only references with content already in English. The idea is for them to use only authentic material for two reasons: it is a reliable source of information and it will keep learners from making bad translations from L1 into English. They are expected to compare the habits of the Ancient Romans to their own and describe the differences.
5. Students should write sentences using the verbs to be (is/are/was/were), to have (have/has/had), to eat (eat/eats/ate), there to be (there is/there are/there was/there were), to sit (sit/sits/sat), and three other verbs.
6. Encourage students to illustrate their oral presentation with pictures that may be displayed on a poster or a presentation. This step may be done at home.
7. Students are not allowed to read during their oral presentation, so there must be no written texts on their posters or presentations. These aids are only meant to guide and enhance.
Note: explain the criteria you will use to grade their written work and oral presentation (see the attached information).
8. Revise students’ written production. First, mark the mistakes and give them a chance to edit their work themselves. Then, do a final revision to make sure they have the corrected reference to study from.
Note: check Appendix 1 for further explanation about how to proceed at this moment.
9. Have students give their presentation in the classroom. Since the theme is the same for everyone, it is advisable that students do not see each other’s presentation in advance.
10. The second part of the oral evaluation is a dialogue in a restaurant in which the teacher plays the waiter’s/waitress' role and the student plays the customer’s role.
11. Follow the script below, which was adapted from the one in the second lesson about France. Two new lines (surprise elements) have been added to check the student’s comprehension and ability to interact.
12. In preparation for their oral presentation, advise students to study the sentences they wrote, the legend of Romulus and Remus, the rules for “tabula”, and the questions in the Simple Past for the written evaluation.
13. On the day of the written evaluation, give out the attached Written Task sheet.
14. Upon completion of their written production, students must fill in the attached SelfAssessment sheet.
15. If time allows, discuss students’ self-assessment individually. Remind students that the two main objectives of this activity are to inform them about what they have and have not learned, and to discuss how they can improve. Upon the end of the assessment, collect all the worksheets and hand them in to the coordinators. Please, make sure that all papers have students’ names, the date, the teacher’s name, and the group code (if there is one).
16. When reading and revising the written assignments, make a list of students’ sentences that contain the most common or basic mistakes. Without mentioning who wrote each sentence, prepare a presentation, a poster, or an activity to be used in class.
17. Project the selected sentences and go over them together in class. This procedure can be done as a game.
18. Prepare a written exercise with those same sentences. Have students work on it individually and turn it in. Check their work and how much progress they have made since the written task.
19. Discuss the students’ progress with the coordinator and what can be done to improve their performance.

Written Task
Part I
Students’ Sentences
Part II
Fill in the blanks to complete the Legend of Romulus and Remus.
Once upon a time there was* a very bad king who ruled a kingdom called Alba Longa. His name was Amulius. He had a brother named Numitor who had a beautiful daughter named Rhea Silvia. One day King Amulius decided to send Numitor to exile and told his daughter that she would never get married* or have children.
Mars, the god of war, fell in love with Rhea Silvia and had two boys with her. The boys were twins. When King Amulius heard the news, he ordered his soldiers to put the twins in a basket and throw it in River Tiber.
A she-wolf found them and fed them. Then, a shepherd named Faustulus took the boys home and asked his wife to take care of them. They named them Romulus and Remus.
When they were adults, they decided to found a city. Romulus wanted to build the city on top of a hill and Remus wanted to build it on another hill. They fought, Romulus killed Remus and founded the city in 753 BC. It was named Rome in honor of Romulus.
* Consider the two words as only one answer.

How many couches were there in the triclinium? There were three couches.
Where did the children sit? They sat on stools.
What did the Romans eat for their main course? They ate meat or fish.
When was the Roman calendar created? It was created around 750 B.C.

Part IV
Complete the rules for Tabula. Use MUST, MAY, or CANNOT.
1. Each player has 15 pieces.
2. All pieces enter from Space I and move counterclockwise.
3. The player rolls three dice. The three numbers determine the moves. The player may choose to move one, two, or three pieces. For example, the three dice show 1/4/6. The player may move one piece 11 spaces (1+4+6); one piece five spaces (1+4) and the other piece six spaces; one piece one space and the other piece ten spaces (4+6); one piece one space, one piece four spaces, and one piece six spaces. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the player with the white pieces decides to move only one piece 11 spaces (1+4+6), the two spaces that correspond to the landing of the piece along the way to the eleventh space must be free.
4. A player must use the whole value of the roll. If any part of a roll cannot be used because a space is already occupied by the opponent's pieces and there is no other possible move, the player loses his turn.
5. If a player lands a piece on a space with only one opponent's piece, the opponent's piece is removed from the board and has to re-enter the game on the next roll.
6. If a player has two or more pieces on a space, that position is closed to the opponent and those pieces cannot be removed.
7. No player may enter the second half of the board until all pieces have entered the board.
8. No pieces may exit the board until all his pieces have entered the last quarter. This means that if a single piece is removed, the remaining pieces are stuck in the last quarter until the removed piece re-enters and catches up with the remaining ones again
