SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES
• Have Ss think of objects they would like to buy. They can be toys or anything valuable Ss have at home or school. Then, explain what an illustrated advertisement is, and its
components.
• Show different advertisements and have Ss look at them in order to identify the object they would like to buy or sell, special features, the price, and the contact details.
Stage 1 • In groups Ss talk about the advertisements they would be interested in buying. Encourage them to explain why. On the board, list characteristics of different products for Ss
to use as references to talk about them (size, colour, etc.). Use the list to introduce vocabulary and have Ss copy the words.

• Ss share their experience on their last purchase, help them by eliciting information from them, e.g. colour, price, etc.
• Bring handouts so Ss look at different ads. Ask Ss to name things they can remember about the elements of ads. Have Ss work in teams to find graphic and textual
components with the pictures of the advertisements (prices, telephone numbers, e-mails, symbols, and other numerical information).
Stage 2 • On a globe or map, elicit different countries and point out the currencies used there. Have Ss research on not well-known symbols such as yens, pounds, or euros. Ask Ss to
draw colourful typography to make currency and other important symbols ($, £, €, @). Have Ss produce language discourse like: “This is England. They use pounds”. Ss will
identify those useful symbols to use in their ads.

• Ask Ss to bring several cutouts from newspapers or magazines from supermarkets or stores they are familiar with. cut outs of symbols from newspapers and ads from
supermarket or stores they are familiar with. Have Ss work in groups and ask them to rank the components they will use in their ads from the most to the least important
(price, description, image, telephone, etc.). Once they have decided on the importance of the elements, ask them to present the graphic components they found in the ads.
Stage 3 Point out the use of different punctuation elements such as exclamation and question marks.
• Have Ss talk about the impact of ads on people, and if the characteristics specified in the ad are true. Reflect with your Ss on the importance of honesty in any kind of
commercial transaction, either if you are the one who sells or buys.

• Have Ss make an advertisement for an object they want to sell, ask them to use attractive illustrations and some effective language. Remind Ss to use appropriate graphic
Stage 4 information, font size and colours to make an impact on the buyer.
• Ask Ss to reflect on the product they will sell, and if the information provided in the ad is accurate and reliable.

• Display all the ads around the classroom and have Ss decide which item to buy. Have Ss interact with each other to buy and sell their products using toy bills. Ask them to
share the reason why they decided to buy that object.
• Ss may also have an assessment instrument such as a checklist to verify if the ads have the elements they have learned about through this social practice (image, description,
Stage 5 price, contact information, etc.)
• For further practice, in case they want to make real transactions, they can display their ads in the schoolyard and invite other Ss to buy their products (candies, popcorn, fruit
etc.).

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES
• Ask Ss to mention what a legend is, its characteristics and structure (setting, narrator, plot, climax, body and ending). Elicit different popular legends, and have Ss
remember if they know different versions of the same legend.
• Have Ss explore the Reader’s book or other sources, and make predictions about the first chapter by looking at the title and images. Ss may express their ideas in Spanish
because they are not able to use the structures. Provide any necessary help to motivate Ss to express their ideas in English.
Stage 1 • Ss work in groups so they can talk about legends and have them share their versions. On the board have some examples of local legends for Ss to use as reference
(Excalibur, La Llorona, The Popo volcano, etc.). Have Ss tell the characteristics of the magic objects mentioned in the legends they have explored; then, look at the visuals
in their books and identify the legends mentioned. Brainstorm new vocabulary and have Ss copy it for further use when talking about legends.

• Do a multiple-choice exercise to describe the magic objects seen in previous lessons, e.g. The magic wand can: a) help the prince to convert animals into humans, b) help
the prince to make him invisible, c) help the prince to be stronger.
Stage 3 • Give Ss a matching exercise handout to relate drawings of magic objects with a word or have them draw the object and add notes to make sure all the information is
included, e.g. Name of object ____________ Material___________ Magic powers__________ Drawing__________.

• Organize groups and ask each of them to choose one legend or fairy tale they want to work with for the final product. In their teams Ss find the common elements (main
characters, plot, climax, body, and ending) in the legend or fairy tale they have chosen.
Stage 4 • Ask Ss to design their own magic object. Ask them to reflect why they would like to have it and how they would use it. Ask Ss to write the characteristics and the
description of their magical object, based on the model previously worked in stage 3. Make sure Ss mention name, material and aim.

• Ask Ss to illustrate the magic object they have designed and write its description. Ss exchange their texts to do peer correction.
Stage 5
• Have a competition so that the group chooses the most ingenious magic object. Have Ss read in groups somebody else's description of their magic object. Have Ss guess
who the object belongs to and why. Correct mistakes in any respect when Ss read their descriptions of objects: pronunciation, correctness of vocabulary, structure and
Stage 6 how attractive and convincing their objects seem to be.
• Wrap up this activity with the fact that cultures are expressed through legends according to their origin.

• Display the descriptions around the classroom and if time allows, Ss may make the object out of reusable materials.
Stage 7 • Invite other groups to see their magic objects collection.

• Write on the board the word MUSEUM and ask Ss to come up with the names of museums they have visited or heard about. Activate previous knowledge by asking them
about the objects that can be found, the organization of a museum, and the behavior or rules to be followed when visiting one. Stimulate Ss’ curiosity by mentioning some
of the museums that may be attractive for children in Mexico City (Universum, Papalote, MUTEC-Technologic Museum of CFE, Wax Museum, Ripley Museum, Natural
History Museum or Antique Toy Museum). If possible, make knowledge memorable by: 1) Asking them to visit one during the weekend 2) Making a virtual visit at
http://cliotropos.wordpress.com/2009/08/29/recorridos-virtuales-por-museos-y-zonas-arqueologicas/ (in case you have access to the media room) or 3) Bringing leaflets
Stage 1 from museums you have already visited.
• Ask Ss about how objects are shown in an exhibition. Point out that objects have exhibition cards; explain the distribution and graphic information, purpose and order in
which information is presented. Bring some examples so Ss can explore them and identify the components of exhibition cards (search for fichas museográficas in Google).
• Have Ss think about materials which can be exhibited in museums. Invite the class to vote for the topic of the exhibition they will present, and ask them to collect the
materials that will be exhibited, e.g. toy dinosaurs.

• Ask Ss to think about what information they want to find about their topic; for example, if the topic is dinosaurs, they can list: weight, height, color, behavior, etc. In a mind
map organize the different sources of information they may consult to elaborate their exhibition cards (books, encyclopedias, magazines or internet).
• Have Ss work in groups so they can choose the topics they want to know more about; each team can have a KWL chart to organize their ideas and thoughts. Ask them to
Stage 2 bring all the necessary information (texts and images). Once they gather the information, ask them to underline the main ideas following the pattern of the exhibition cards
previously explored in stage 1.
• Make sure each team has their material prepared to make their exhibition cards. Encourage Ss to make sketches of cards in order to agree on the size of the cards.

• Provide Ss with different models to be used in their cards. Elicit from them the information they will need: (Name) _________ lived around_______ million years ago in
____________. Make sure that all relevant is included.
• Point out the importance of organizing the information into different paragraphs (introduction, development, and conclusion). Have Ss write the information of the
Stage 3 exhibition cards as a first draft. Monitor around and provide any necessary help.
• In case Ss need to complete the materials, they may find illustrations on internet or make the drawings.

• Have students come up with many different ideas to decide the title for the exhibition, and organize a brainstorming activity. Encourage Ss to find an attractive or catchy
phrase to invite their school community to visit the exhibition. Ss vote for the most original phrase, and decide on the typography, colors and images to be used in the
Stage 4 placard.

• Have Ss revise the draft previously done in stage 3. Focus Ss’ attention to the structure of the paragraph they wrote, analyze if the title indicates the topic of the text, and if
Stage 5 the paragraphs contain main and secondary ideas. Encourage Ss to make a final version of their cards.

• Revise the comprehension and internalization of the knowledge by organizing a contest. Divide the group into three teams: carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. Write
questions and information related to the exhibition cards on strips of paper, and put them inside small envelopes and stick them on the board. The groups will run, pick up
Stage 6 one envelope, and read the question to the team. If they can answer correctly, they win a point.
• The class decides the order of the exhibition.

Stages • Have Ss set up the exhibition in the classroom, and invite Ss from other grades to the exhibition. Socialize the practice by giving short explanations to the visitors.

STAGES
• Ask Ss where they can find useful information about events that happen in Mexico City, their neighborhoods or around the world. Invite Ss to come up with many different
ideas about media sources such as newspapers, radio, internet, or magazines. Have Ss explore some of these sources and examine the structure of news.
• Write the words “News programs” on the board, and ask Ss to mention the most famous TV news programs in Mexico. Ask for the names of broadcasters they know.
• Expose Ss to different pieces of news both in newspapers and on tapes. Ss listen once for general gist, and twice to answer specific questions, such as: who, what, when,
Stage 1 where, how, and why. The third time would be to help Ss reconstruct the news in as much detail as possible.
• Have Ss analyze different formats for presenting information. In teams Ss decide about two interesting kinds of news they would like to research about. They can choose
from different categories, such as: sports, culture, entertainment, politics, economy, etc.

• Draw on the board a web diagram with the question words Who?, What?, Where?, When?, How?, Why? Ask Ss to read and underline in different colors the answers to
those questions in one of the pieces of news they brought.
• As an alternative, ask Ss to fill in the gaps an incomplete piece of news (with information related to people, actions, places or time).
Stage 2 • Regarding question formation, help Ss with graphic organizers on the board where they see the visual presentation of word formation: 1st column: question words; 2nd
column: auxiliaries; 3rd column: subjects; 4th column: verbs; 5th column: complements.
• Get short pieces of news on different topics (without a title), and have Ss read them out loud in pairs or trios or small groups in order to think of a title to insert.

• Use Wh Questions to gather information on the news, e.g. where, when, why, what. Have groups of Ss write notes to ask questions using question words under study.
Leave questions words exposed.
Stages • Have Ss work in groups to answer the questions from different pieces of news. Ss can be teamed according to a question word and compete to answer their corresponding
3 and 4 question.
• Ss answer the questions from their own pieces of news in order to write a summary that includes the essential information.

• Have Ss correct the content of their summary by taking care of punctuation, spelling, etc. Monitor as necessary.
• Have groups present their pieces of news before exhibiting them. Together, check that information is complete.
• Ask Ss to look for suitable illustrations for their news summaries.
• Ss exchange their news with other classmates and verify that the structure of their news is complete. Display the news summary around the classroom, and give Ss an
Stage 5 assessment instrument, such as a checklist, so they can walk around and make sure the summaries contain all the elements of news.
• Clarify to your Ss the goals of journalism (inform, educate and entertain). Ask them to identify which category each news corresponds to.
• Monitor and correct any spelling mistakes or omissions in the structure of the news. Ask Ss to pay attention to the details.

• Ss organize themselves in pairs and simulate they are reporters. They choose the type of news they want to share with the rest of the class. It is important that Ss show
their pictorial contents while telling their news. All teams get the chance to come to the front and take turns to present their pieces of news and show their pictures.
Stage 6 • After listening to the news, Ss are encouraged to ask questions to extend, amplify or deepen the information given. Monitor the production of questions.
• Have Ss reflect upon the process and verbalize the steps or procedures they went through.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES
• Have Ss go on a scavenger hunt around the classroom looking for nouns they already know or have studied in previous social practices. Make sure each noun has a
plural form, and provide visual support by adding an image to the plurals.
• On the board have a T-chart; label one column with singular nouns and the other column with plural nouns. Ask Ss to give examples of common nouns found on the
Stage 1 scavenger list and write them on the chart. Encourage Ss to identify the plural forms by guessing the rule, give examples like dog-dogs, boy-boys, candy-candies, etc.
• Give Ss a blank T-chart so they can work in groups with new words. After Ss have completed the activity, gather and reflect with them on plural nouns and how they
are formed. Ask Ss to close their eyes. Say a word e.g. “cats,” and ask Ss what sound they hear at the end of the word. Continue saying other plural nouns; enunciate
the word clearly for students to hear and identify the “s” sound at the end of the word.
• Have Ss recognize the formation of past tenses by identifying the verbs that finish with -e or -ed. Expose them to a few irregular verbs like: to be, run, write, read, ring,
write, and sing, in the context of a short narration of a past event. Do the same with the past continuous and objects in the context of phrases or sentences that Ss
identify well.
Stage 2 • Have Ss read a story from their Reader or from a provided handout. Ask them to identify the verbs in past tense and copy them in their notebooks. If time allows, add
some kind of illustration or cutout to make the meaning more memorable.
• Set a situation in which Ss can recognize the form of regular verbs in past.

• Play "Six objects" game. Hold up 6 flashcards, one by one, so that all students can see them (make sure Ss know the words for all the objects and verbs). Have Ss write
the name of the objects adding the corresponding ending "-s", "-es" or the irregular plural form that corresponds. The one to have all with no mistakes wins.
• Make a chart with five columns and label them as followed: first column-plurals with “s”, second column-plurals with “es”, third column-irregular plurals, fourth
Stage 3 column-regular verbs in past tense with only “d” and fifth column-regular verbs with “-ed” ending. Ask Ss to write the words or use cards with verbs and nouns. This
activity can be played as if it were “Stop”. Set a time limit and the ones who finish first and have no mistakes, win the competition. Give out little tokens in recognition.
Monitor around and promote peer correction.
• Have Ss work in teams, they must choose words, from all the vocabulary used during the social practice; to organize a contest. Ss will design rules, graphics, and images
for the contest.
Stage 4 • Ss verify the spelling and correct if necessary.

• Play "Hangman" using regular verbs and when once they guess the verb, ask Ss to call out the verb with -ing ending and vice versa.
• To upgrade the difficulty of the game, ask Ss to think of a sentence in past including verbs and nouns in plural, e.g. “Yesterday I checked my notebooks.”
Stage 5 • Leave a model on the board or lead Ss to discover the order of words in sentences.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES

• Design an exercise to order texts, follow steps and convey the idea of a sequence, e.g., “How to install a new telephone set.” Join the ideas with first, then, next, after
that, finally, etc. Ss may be given the steps so that they can order them, verbally first, and then into writing. Ss may bring along manuals of gadgets they have bought
recently.
• In teams have Ss choose the object they would like to make or a device they would like to repair. Encourage them to be realistic and resort to real objects they have
access to.
Stage 1 • In a plenary session and with everybody’s contributions ask Ss to provide ideas on how to change a light bulb or use the previously chosen gadget which is out of order
as an example.
• Show Ss three or four illustrated guides; elicit the purpose, intended audience and the objects or devices in each instructive text. Ask Ss to mention other cases where
instruction guides are required and how they can be useful when repairing items. In order to contextualize, ask them to think and share about real situations they have
experienced and how they managed to solve the problem or situation.

• Elicit from Ss steps to install a bulb. Provide cohesive devices, verbs and vocabulary as needed so that Ss are able to complete the sequence, e.g., A) First, turn off the
light switch. B) Then, unscrew the light bulb. C) After that, unpack the new light bulb. D) Next, place the new light bulb. E) Finally, turn on the light to check the new
light bulb works.
• In pairs, trios or small teams, have Ss play "Guess it with Mimic", whereby some Ss call out the actions in a sequence one by one, while others act them out with mimic.
Stage 2 Make sure Ss take turns so that everyone has the chance to speak, act and have fun.
• Provide Ss with a model, for example: “First, we _______.Then, we ________. After that, we _________. Finally, we __________”. Have Ss complete the sentences
following the correct sequence in order to fix the chosen gadget.

• Have Ss mime out the actions described in stage 2 in a way that is meaningful to them, so that later on they can take these representations as the platform from which
they can reconstruct the sequence in visual forms.
Stage 3 • Ask Ss to bring cutouts related to the steps and materials mentioned in the steps for their guide. Have them work in teams to choose the best illustrations, and to
decide on the sequence.

• Remind Ss about the importance of using connectors to make sequencing more meaningful. Provide them with connectors written on strips of paper. Have a 6 image
story or cartoon, and instruct Ss to order them and create a story in six sentences using connectors.
• Have Ss recall the different connectors used and write them on the board. Divide the group in two teams; have one participant from each team choose the first
connector. Make Ss follow the steps in the process or the sequence by selecting the suitable connector. The participant who omits a step on the right sequencing loses
points for the team. Repeat this activity at least one more time so that both teams get the chance to either provide the connectors or the sequences. The team that
does not miss any step wins.
Stages
• Introduce the concept of "Edit skills" to Ss. Tell Ss these are very useful in real life because they will always have something to correct or edit. Provide Ss with a handout
4 and 5 of a sequence to fix a broken item (the one Ss have previously chosen and illustrated), that requires revision, analysis and editing. If Ss seem weak in this respect,
attempt the exercise with the whole group as an example of what needs to be done. Ss may then do this individually in their own notebooks. Set a time limit and when
everybody has finished, have Ss exchange notebooks so that they can correct each other’s work. Have Ss provide clear corrections so that when they return this to the
author, he/she may find them easy to understand in order to make the changes.
• Provide Ss with a checklist so that the correction is complete and accurate, e.g., punctuation, capitalization, order of ideas and solutions in the case of problems.

• Display the illustrated guides around the classroom and schedule demonstrations, in which students socialize this social practice by explaining to their classmates or

STAGES SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

• Have Ss explore messages including daily routines’ lexis. Show one message to the Ss and make sure they identify purpose, function, sender and intended audience. Ask
Ss to whom they have sent messages and when. Have Ss identify the actions that result from the messages.
• Read several messages to Ss and check comprehension with the whole group. Remind Ss to interpret the contents so that they are in a position to answer comprehension
Stage 1 questions later on or even pose the questions themselves.
• Ask Ss to think individually on requests or invitations they would like to send to their classmates, encourage them to send a note to their teachers, parents or friends for
something nice they have done lately or to thank them.

• With the whole group analyze the parts of messages and talk about how relevant they are for this type of text. Identify opening and closing phrases. Lead Ss to discover
the register used in the text. Introduce could and would for asking favors as well as requesting information; exemplify the type of questions where these words are used.
• In a ludic activity, play with subject and object pronouns so that Ss establish a difference.
Stage 2 • Comment on punctuation marks and their functions. Exercise as required. Compare the use of punctuation and capitalization between English and Spanish.
• Have a short review of months of the year and days of the week by giving them calendar based activities in order to practice the dates they will use in their messages and
notes.

• In trios have Ss analyze several messages previously prepared. Ss identify and discriminate different elements in the texts using a checklist on a separate piece of paper.
When all trios have finished, check with the whole class to make sure they have no trouble identifying the elements.
• Organize Ss in groups of four; provide them with pieces of cardboard that they have to divide into 4 columns: greetings, farewell, courtesy expressions and time. Have Ss
Stage 3 categorize a jigsaw message into the columns, and then instruct Ss to organize the jumbled message in a logical sequence. While they are ordering the different elements,
encourage them to talk about what they are doing and why the elements go in the order they decided. Walk around helping only if required.
• Have Ss write a message of their own; intervene only if mistakes interfere with communication. Encourage Ss to use a bilingual dictionary if needed.

• Have Ss design two colorful and attractive messages to exchange with other classmates; monitor around and correct any spelling or grammar mistakes, make sure all Ss
receive a note with a positive message.
Stage 4 • Ss proofread and correct any spotted mistake, either by the teacher or a peer. Then, they write a second draft and include the images or any other visual aid to reinforce
the message they are sending to a classmate.

• Have Ss read the messages they receive, and ask them to reply in the same way. If possible, try to extend this activity (writing positive messages to other classmates) to
the school community.
Stage 5 • As an extension task, have Ss record some reminders for their peers in the classroom. The reminders may be about the uniform, material, entrance schedule, special
activities, etc.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES
• Have Ss explore illustrated travelogues, describing experiences, aspects of nature and culture in English speaking countries. Elicit information about the topic of the text
based on visual and written clues, images and titles.
• Relate travelogues to personal experiences. Mention personal situations that can be narrated in a travelogue.
• Read aloud a travelogue so that Ss get the right pronunciation, stress and intonation.
Stage 1 • Elicit from Ss the different parts of a travelogue: introduction, body and conclusion.
• Have Ss identify cultural differences and similarities between Mexico and some English speaking countries. Mention some aspects of mexican cultural expressions so that
Ss complete the list with their own contributions if they know them. In case Ss cannot provide examples, explain some to Ss. In a plenary session check all the features and
aspects of this type of texts.

• In groups of four, Ss associate vocabulary related to different aspects of travelling, e.g., types of accommodation, means of transport, eating codes and manners, etc.
• In trios Ss prepare a short presentation for the rest of the group about the information which can be found in a travelogue, brought by the teacher or by Ss themselves.
Prepare a handout with columns that Ss have to complete while listening to the presentation of each group. This vocabulary will be used when Ss write their own
descriptive phrases.
Stage 2 • By means of questions or incomplete phrases Ss get the information to put together several facts of the countries under study. Ss are asked to fill out a handout with
incomplete phrases about the USA, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, or New Zealand contrasting Mexico´s facts, e.g., “In Mexico the weather in winter is
_____ but in Australia it is _____. In Mexico people eat at midday but in the USA people eat _____,”

• In small teams Ss complete a chart using a plan sphere or a globe where they point out the countries mentioned and the differences that have been found out and
discussed so far. Ss record the information in the chart while they express the discovered contrasts.
Stage • Have Ss work in pairs in order to complete sentences about Mexico and another country following a model. Monitor and correct only when necessary.
3 and 4 • Ss put together all the information that is relevant taken from the contents, the structure, the different components, and the vocabulary learned, verifying conventions
(punctuation, typography), and core aspects worth checking.

• Have Ss color and paste images to illustrate their written work. Ss create a cover of their writing using a special sentence or phrase.
• Encourage Ss to come to the front in groups and show their charts or posters to the rest of their classmates. Ask Ss to point out, name and describe phrases and images
they created for their travel brochure.
Stages
• Help Ss decide on the strategic space to display their brochures around the classroom. Have Ss go round the classroom and compare other Ss’ charts, e.g., “Are they
5 and 6 similar? What similarities and differences between Mexico and other countries are there in the charts?”
• Prepare some meta-cognitive questions that would naturally lead to a reflection upon Ss' own learning process.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES
• Ask Ss to brainstorm the different texts they can recognize and which have been used in previous social practices, such as: letters, notes, news, ads, exhibition cards, messages
etc. Elicit information from Ss and write answers on the board. Focus Ss attention on questionnaires by asking them to explore their Spanish and English books. Guide Ss to
describe the characteristics, purpose and use of this kind of text. Have Ss find one questionnaire in their English book and verify if it complies with the previously explained
Stage 1 characteristics.
• Group Ss and have them decide on a specific academic topic of their interest; so that they can make their own questionnaire and administer it to other Ss. Use this activity as a
reinforcement of other subjects studied in class, like Science, Spanish, Social Studies etc.
• Introduce Ss to the two types of questions (closed and open), and practice them verbally. Have Ss explore different questionnaires in order to discover the differences and
structure of both types of questions.
• It would be of great help if Ss are provided with several types of graphic organizers to decide the correct word order of questions.
• Have Ss play in teams to practice the structure of questions. Organize a question-answer matching activity. Put slips of paper with questions in a box, and place pieces of paper
with their corresponding answers on the floor. One S takes a slip of paper with a question, while other classmates look for the answer on the pieces of paper. The one who

recognizes the answer first, picks it up from the floor and wins a point.
2 and 3 • Have Ss work with their assigned groups. Monitor around and make sure all members of the team cooperate in the negotiation of the topic and the number of questions their
questionnaire will have.
• Ss work in teams in order to find the information to be used in the design of their questionnaire. Ss work in teams in order to find the information to be used in the design of
their questionnaire, if possible use the ICT lab and/or their text books. Ask Ss to highlight the main ideas of the selected information. Monitor around and provide any
necessary help.
• Design and provide Ss with a questionnaire which include open questions (comprehension and opinion) and close questions (true/false and multiple choice). Guide Ss to
discover how these questions differentiate from one another, and the importance of including some of these types in the questionnaire they will design.
• Provide Ss with a model to write open-ended and close-ended questions and elicit examples from Ss. Model the questions and answer as much as necessary. Model the
Stage 4 questions and have them practice the structure using activities like scrambled sentences or word search provide any necessary help and correct mistakes.
• Have Ss write close-ended questions and open-ended questions for their questionnaires using the model previously provided. If necessary, leave a frame on the board or use
cue cards to help Ss.
• Ss review the questions they have already written in teams in order to determine the order for the questionnaire. Help Ss to consider grouping the questions depending on the
type of question: comprehension, true/false, etc. Encourage Ss to consider what order will imply less time to be answered, and remind them to follow these criteria when
organizing the questions: go from easy to difficult, go from factual to abstract, and start questions relevant to the main subject.
Stage 5 • Ask Ss to look for visual aids that support their questionnaire content; all members of the team may draw and color the illustrations.
• Monitor around and use an assessment instrument, e.g., anecdotal notes, checklist or rubrics, to register if all the members of the team cooperate to work in the solution of
problems and respect others’ opinions.
• Have Ss identify the sources of information used in the design of the questionnaire (books, internet, encyclopedia, etc.), and ask them to integrate this information to their
questionnaire){
Stage 6 • Check and correct spelling or grammar errors if needed, clarify doubts related to the formation of questions.
• Provide Ss with a questionnaire handout and ask them to label its parts.
• Have Ss write the final draft of the questionnaire and incorporate the illustrations. When they are ready, have Ss exchange the questionnaires and ask other groups to solve
them.
• Verify with the whole class if the answers to the different questions are accurate. If necessary, contrast the answers with the sources which were used in the design of the
questionnaires.
Stage 7 • In a plenary session, analyze the whole process they have gone through for the design, organization and application of the questionnaires. Prepare a series of metacognitive
questions to make Ss reflect upon their own learning processes. Gradually, Ss pose the questions themselves with little or no help from the teacher.
• As extra practice, ask Ss to write a question on a piece of paper for everybody to listen to and state if it is right, wrong, complete or incomplete. The team that gets the most
answers wins the contest. If necessary, have Ss verbalize the rules for question formation.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
STAGES
• Put up signs in the classroom indicating north, south, east, west, park, library, bank, etc. Have Ss stand up in a circle and give instructions to play Simon Says, e.g. “Simon says...
move north!” Ss walk towards the north of the room. Once in a while tell them to go somewhere (or move left for example), but without saying “Simon Says”, Ss who do it will
lose and sit down; continue until there is only one S standing.
Stage 1 • Have Ss name the different places and buildings which are near the school community (grocery store, bakery, bank, drugstore, etc.). Encourage Ss to use a bilingual dictionary
to look for unknown words.
• Have Ss work in groups and draw their school and its surroundings on a piece of cardboard.
• Ask each group to compare and contrast with other groups their community sketch to be enriched.
• Ask Ss “Where are you going to go next weekend?” Elicit answers from the class and ask the following questions “Are you going to travel by car? By bus? By subway?”
Encourage Ss to tell which means of transportation they use.
• Divide the group in two teams. Write on the board the prepositions “by” and “on”. Explain the use of these prepositions when you are talking about transportation,
Stage 2 brainstorm means of transport and write the examples on the board, e.g. car, bicycle, subway, foot, etc. Have Ss write the means of transport under the correct preposition
and check answers with the whole class.
• Considering the school as the point of departure, select some places of Ss’ interest they would like to go to from their original sketch.
• Recall how they get to each of those places and provide a model if necessary e.g. “I can go to the subway station by car”.
• As a reinforcement activity, prepare a map of the neighborhood and have Ss recognize: north, south, east, west, and center. Consider beforehand the places Ss would like to
go to. Have Ss practice the vocabulary used to designate different types of buildings, natural features or man-made constructions in their community. Ask Ss to follow the
routes on the map and practice the language verbally.
• Ss are exposed to language used for asking for and giving directions through the use of a map on a handout. Have Ss trace the routes to go to the places which are near the
Stage 3 school and previously identified.
• Think of an activity where the vocabulary needed for this social practice is revised and practiced. For example, have Ss match words to definitions. Have a poster and/or
handout of a neighborhood and label the public places shown on it. Play a guessing game; e. g, “You may buy medicines in this place: drugstore. You buy bread and cakes in
this place: bakery. You deposit money and cash checks: Bank. You buy fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, plants, and flowers: market”.
• Introduce words for location, such as: across: along, around, towards, down, in front of, turn right / left, at, between, behind, in front of, etc. In a short dialogue have a formal
presentation of how to ask and give directions to go to the different places previously identified in their maps. In pairs have Ss practice the dialogues, and then ask them to
compare the routes they traced with their classmates.
• Have Ss trace routes to go to different places from school. Expose Ss to the same exchange of questions and answers for checking.
Stage 4 • In a situation that is common to everybody start with statements Ss know to be true and then display how to incorporate questions into these statements e. g. “We are in
English class, aren’t we?” Point out you are essentially making sure that you are correct about something by confirming what you think or assume to be true. Introduce Ss to
the idea of tag questions guide them so that they discover the grammar behind tag questions.
• Have Ss complete statements with the elements seen so far.
• Move the tables and chairs by rows to simulate real blocks of buildings. To make this more realistic, ask Ss to give the real names to blocks. Have Ss design the facades of well-
known buildings in the neighborhood and take them as reference to give directions. In pairs, Ss simulate they are walking along, across the streets and round the corners so
that they experience what it is like to ask for directions and follow instructions. Have Ss place themselves in front, next to, or behind buildings or well-known places so that
they are in a position to describe exactly where they are and how they are going to move to go to a different place. Have Ss describe their location with respect to each other.
Stages • In pairs ask Ss to write a short dialogue similar to the ones they practiced to ask for and give directions; encourage Ss to include in their dialogues tag questions. Have Ss come
5 and 6 to the front and read their dialogue aloud so that everybody else listens to it, and contributes with ideas to make it better or clearer.
• Have Ss illustrate in their maps the directionality of prepositions previously studied with the aid of arrows.
• In teams Ss may actually walk along, across, round corners on their adapted map in the classroom. Label the different tables with names of real places they are familiar with.
Once they have experienced moving in “their neighborhood,” ask them to compare the different routes they chose and identify which is the shortest or the shortcuts they can
use if necessary.
• Have Ss exchange their quick guides or display them in the classroom in order to share and check them. Using this information, Ss act out dialogues in pairs; while the rest of
the group checks if these dialogues have an introduction, body and conclusion.
Stage 7 • Guide Ss reflection upon their learning processes and the benefit of asking directions and giving instructions appropriately in real-life situations.
• If possible present the quick guides to sixth graders and link this knowledge to instructions to use means of transportation.
