INTRODUCTION

and

The primary purpose of the teachers pack is to help both teachers and students alike to get as much as possible out of their participation in the Interactive performance of ROBIN AND HOOD. The pack has been designed as a tool to help students understand the play, learn the new vocabulary and improve their listening and speaking skills. Once they have done the activities, students will better understand both how the story develops and the lines the actors deliver and so they will get more enjoyment out of performance. This CD contains some introductory material where youll nd the corresponding texts to the plot synopsis, meet the characters, some dialogues from the play and the original songs performed along the play. Besides, youll nd some suggested activities we recommend you to do before the play, Pre-play activities, and some Post-play activities wich have been designed to check if students understood the play correctly and that they have assimilated the vocabulary, expressions and grammatical structures they work on. Pre-play and post-play activities include instructions for the teacher and the corresponding student worksheets, as long as the activity requires them. Some of the activities have an extension part (Extension activity) wich makes possible to study in depth the contents, depending on the group level. Both the introductory material and the suggested activities may require the corresponding audio material to make a better use of them.

CONCEPTUAL CONtent

and

The educational interests of this activity will focus on helping students start developing the four basic skills of any foreign language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. All this with an approach based on communication, which aims to encourage students, involving them in dialogues, conversations, songs ... and other forms of communication that are essencial to the teaching and learning of a foreign language process. At this stage students should develop a certain level of understanding and speaking to enable them to deploy their rst english communicative manifestations, and to consolidate the basic grammatical categories of this language, and ensure their awareness and approach to the AngloSaxon cultural tradition. The teaching materials of ROBIN AND HOOD will allow you to study in depth the following conceptual content: - Present simple tense. Auxiliary verbs in negatives and questions. Third person singular. - Past simple tense. Armative and negative sentences. - Physical descriptions. Adjectives (blue eyes, strong, small). Verbs (to have got, to wear) - Vocabulary of current jobs (bus driver, pilot, computer specialist), jobs of yesteryear (archer, buffoon, troubadour) and usual jobs (musician, blacksmith, farmer) - Vocabulary of Forest and Sea animals. - Sentences and PREPOSITIONS OF PLACE. To ask for and give directions (in the middle of, next to, opossite) - Linking words: and and but.

PLOT SYNOPSIS

and

Sherwood Forest, a long, long time ago. A nice troubadour, with the help of his funny assistant, introduces us to the fabulous story of Robin Hood. Who doesnt know great Robin Hood, the one who robbed the rich and distributed what he stole among the poor? But Robin Hood is not the only character that we will meet in this story: Little John, Robins best friend, always takes an important part in his deeds. Although he isnt as brave as Robin, he always helps him to ght the evil Prince John and to do justice in Sherwood Forest. Sherwood Forest is not the happy and peaceful place it used to be, because the evil Prince John, who wants to steal the throne to his brother Richard the Lionheart, has spread war and poverty all over the place. Robin Hood is in love with the beautiful Lady Marian, and he dreams of marrying her one day, but he is too shy to tell her! In this adventure, Robin tricks again Prince John: disguised as a gypsy woman, he steals all his rings and he tells the Prince that he is not the true King of England. As revenge, Prince John kidnaps Lady Marian and locks her up in the tower of his castle. Determined to catch Robin Hood once and forever, Prince John organizes an archery tournament in which the winner will have the honour of setting Lady Marian free. The evil Prince John is certain that Robin Hood will take this chance to rescue Lady Marian and then, he will be able to put him behind the bars But Robin Hood proves to be more intelligent than Prince John. Disguised as a poor country man, he manages both to win the tournament and to rescue Lady Marian. When they are about to celebrate their victory, excellent news arrives Richard the Lionheart, their beloved and true King of England, is back!

In pre-play activity 1, students wrote short sentences about the characters and practised the present simple tense. Now that they have seen the play and they know a bit more about the characters and the story, students can write more complicated sentences using the past simple tense. Students may already know how to use connectors and and but, but if necessary these could be pre-taught. Students should try to nd three phrases for each character from the play and use this information to complete the sentences below the box. STOLE PRINCE JOHN ALL HIS RINGS - DIDNT WANT TO TELL HER - WANTED TO CATCH ROBIN HOOD ROBIN HOOD SET HER FREE - WAS AFRAID OF PRINCE JOHN - DISGUISED HIMSELF AS A GYPSY WOMAN HELPED ROBIN HOOD - WAS LOCKED UP IN THE CASTLES TOWER - WAS EVIL THE TRUE KING OF ENGLAND WAS RICHARD THE LIONHEART - SANG A BEAUTIFUL SONG DIDNT WANT TO PRACTISE STICK FIGHTING - WANTED TO BE THE KING OF ENGLAND WELCOMED EVERYBODY TO SHERWOOD FOREST - WAS SHY - PLAYED THE CYMBALS LOVED LADY MARIAN - HELPED THE TROUBADOUR TO TELL THE STORY OF ROBIN HOOD SHE WAS VERY HAPPY SUGGESTED ANSWERS: ROBIN HOOD: He disguised himself as a gypsy woman and stole Prince John all his rings.

correct the sentences

post-PLAY ACTIVITY 4

and

The aim of this activity is to give students the chance to practise afrmative and negative sentences. Most of the sentences are in the 3rd person singular, so students will have plenty of practice with the s. Explain to students that all the students are false and that they can be corrected simply by changing the verb from negative to afrmative, or vice versa. Draw students attention to the rst sentence which has been done as an example and ask them to say what has changed (there is an auxiliary verb to make the negative and the main verb has no s). Remind students that no auxiliary verb is used with the verbs to be or can. If necessary the second sentence could be done by the whole class, since it is the exact reverse process from the rst sentence. Then students should be ready to complete the activity. ANSWER KEY: 1. Robin Hood steals Little John all his money. Robin Hood doesnt steal Little John all his money. 2. Robin doesnt read Prince Johns hand. Robin reads Prince Johns hand. 3. Clifford is the main character of the story. Clifford isnt the main character of the story. 4. Lady Marian is in love with Prince John. Lady Marian isnt in love with Prince John. 5. Richard the Lionheart isnt the true King of England. Richard the Lionheart is the true King of England. 6. Little John helps Prince John. Little John doesnt help Prince John. 7. Clifford can speak. Clifford cant speak. 8. The troubadour doesnt know the story of Robin Hood. The troubadour knows the story of Robin Hood. 9. Robin doesnt save Lady Marian. Robin saves Lady Marian. 10.

the game of the archer

complementary ACTIVITY

and

We invite you to test your knowledge about Robin and Hood playing The Game of The Archer. It is a singular version of the traditional Game of the Goose, in which only your command of the vocabulary related to the play will lead you to the nal objective: to set Lady Marian free. The rst thing you have to do is to assemble the game board, which is divided in four parts. Once the game board is ready, you have to get into groups of 2 to 4 players and to appoint a spokesperson for each group. The teacher will explain to the students the instructions corresponding to each space, and, when needed, choose and ask the questions to the students. RULES OF THE GAME.

* Sherwoods heart (dibujo de un bosque). Field 18... You are lost in the middle of the forest. You CANTT play again until another player goes past that space. * The dungeon: Field 27. Bad luck. Whenever you land on this eld you lose two turns. * Prince John: Field 33. He is the villain in our story. Bumping into him is the worst thing that could have happened to you. You go back to eld 1. * Go into Lady Marians Tower: You are Sherwoods hero. You are about to rescue Lady Marian but you need to arrive by an exact count of the die. If you overthrow the required number, you must move backwards the surplus number of points. * Question Fields: There are 14 Question Fields. Whenever you land on one of them, you will have to answer correctly to a question that your teacher will ask you about the vocabulary in the play. If you answer correctly, you can roll again, but if you dont, you wont move and you will have to pass the turn to the next team. NOTE: There is an 80 words glossary for the teacher. All the words are in English with its corresponding translation to Spanish. Its up to the teacher to decide which words to choose as there are different levels of difculty and to ask for their translation either into English or into Spanish.

The objective of the game is to move spaces forward according to the throw of one die and to follow the instructions given for each space. The winning group will have to go through Sherwood Forest and land on the tower where Prince John has locked Lady Marian up. The game board pattern is a spiral of 40 elds, numbered from 1 to 40. 24 elds have special hazards or benets for players who land on them: * From arrow to arrow: (there are 8 elds with an arrow) Whenever you land on one of this elds you are in the good direction, move to the next arrow and roll again. * Robins target: Fields 6 and 23. Good shot!! You can move to eld 23 (and vice versa) and roll again. * The well: Field 15. If you land on this eld, you lose one turn.
