Session 4, Period 1[editar | editar código]
Initial Phase[editar | editar código]
Draw a big square in the board, and begin to draw three columns and then four rows. Let students ask you about what you're doing and let them guess. Someone might guess right or maybe you will have to tell them about the calendar and what 12 stands for.
Organize the students in threes and have them address these questions: how many names of the months can I say in English, do they sound like in Spanish? Do they spell like in Spanish?
Verify students recognize and can count in English up to 12.
Intermediate Phase[editar | editar código]
Have each trio come to the front of the class and tell how many names of the months they were able to say in English, and answer the questions about sound and spell.
On a piece of common brown paper, write as a heading “Months of the year” as presented here:
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December
Observe that the students are doing the activity. Walk around the classroom and ask for any doubts, try to encourage them to do a good job.
Point to each month and say it, having the students repeat each word. Ask students to write the twelve months in their notebook.
Ask each student to complete the information of the worksheet Months of the year in the Student book. Activity 4.1 Many months and many things.
When all the pairs have placed their notebooks on the teacher's desk provide general feedback to the answers and ask for a few responses for question 1.
Wrap up[editar | editar código]
Give back the books to students in order to compare their answers with the answers given by you in the feedback. Ask the students to apply the following rubric to their own work:
Session 4, Period 2[editar | editar código]
Initial Phase[editar | editar código]
Activate Prior Knowledge: show the class the banner you prepared the previous period with names of the months. All the students must stand up next to their seat and jump whenever they hear their birthday month. Start calling out the months in a random order. The last person to jump loses and has to be the one in charge of calling out the months.
Verify students relate their birthdays to a particular month.
Intermediate Phase[editar | editar código]
With the banner on the board, tell the students the importance of having a calendar, because it gives us order and information about dates that we have to remember. For example, you can remind them of how many days are left to exams or to other activities in school or in the community.
Ask your students to copy the definition for holiday:[1] A special day for celebration. The reasons for having holidays are religious, historical, political or social.
Have the students make four groups. Each group will take 3 months of the years — you must assign the months. For this activity groups will need a big sheet of paper, crayons, and markers or watercolor.
Groups should take into consideration:
- All group members must participate.
- Members must recall what holidays are included in the months they were assigned, by giving the follow information: date of the holiday, place(s) in which the holiday is celebrated, a picture representing the holiday.
- Each group's holidays shall be written on a large sheet of paper so they can be presented to the whole group.
Everyone must write the information that each group will share, so they have a list of significant holidays for the whole year.
Verify that groups are following your instructions to do the presentation.
Wrap up[editar | editar código]
In their book they can complete the exercise 4.2 Unscramble and ordering the months.
Session 4, Period 3[editar | editar código]
Initial Phase[editar | editar código]
Review previous material: Which month of the year is New Year's Eve? Which is the first month of the year? What is a holiday? What other holidays are celebrated in December?
Optional activity: Sing and play with the following video.
If you don’t have access to resources to show the video start the class by asking questions about holidays.
Verify that students understand your questions about holidays.
Intermediate Phase[editar | editar código]
Explain ordinal and cardinal numbers from 1 to 12. Relate ordinal numbers with the position of the months of the year: What is the 12th month of the year?
Practice numbers 1 to 12 as well as their corresponding ordinal numbers.
Have students complete worksheet 4.3 Holidays around the world, in their book.
Wrap up[editar | editar código]
Students will create a holiday; they have to give the information according to worksheet 4.3 in their notebook.
