ear teachers! We are very proud to introduce our Elementary English Curriculum Teachers Manual. We created this manual after seeing what a challenging and interesting job it is to teach English in Uzbekistan. We want to make your job easier by providing this book. Peace Corps volunteers have been working in primary English classrooms since 1998, and in 2001 The Ministry of Education approved the Peace Corps Curriculum as the national curriculum for teaching English in grades 1-4. We began working to make the curriculum better in 2003, and decided that the best way to do this would be save our lesson plans, and compile them into a teachers manual. After a year of working in local schools with local teachers, we put all of our efforts together to produce this manual. This is the first teachers manual of its kind for English primary teachers in Uzbekistan. By using this book, you will: ave lessons for every day of the school year. H e using the Ministry of Educations approved English curriculum for primary B forms. Have lessons on 3 levels of difficulty, so you can choose which is best for your students ot have to worry whether your students have a textbook. They do not need a N textbook if you use this teachers manual. e using up-date, tested methods for teaching in Uzbekistan, with creative activiB ties that are fun for your students. Please read the following points so that you will use the teachers manual correctly. It was designed to be flexible, and once you understand how to use it, we hope that you will see an improvement in the English skills of your students. otice that the lessons are divided into 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year and 4th year. N This refers to first year of English lessons, 2nd year of lessons, etc. This means that if your school starts teaching English in 2nd form, you may use the 1st year lesson plans. You may find that your students need to work with a different years lesson plans. This is okay, because you have 4 years of English lessons to work with. ach page of the book has a choice of three lessons; one easy, one medium and E one advanced. You may choose which lesson to give, based on how advanced your children are. You may use a medium lesson one day, and an easy lesson the next, depending on how well your children understand a topic. n the First Year lessons, there are only 2 lessons for each day. One is for children I who are in first form, and the other is for children in their first year of English lessons. We understand that children in the first form are learning to read and write in their native language, so we have made the lessons for them with that in mind. ach lesson is in the 4Mat lesson plan format. This is a very easy format to follow. E The Motivation section gets the children involved or acquainted with the topic of the day. The Information section is just that- the words or grammar you would like to teach them. The Practice section is usually done when the teacher and students practice the new words together, and the Application section involves letting the children use the new words to do a task or assignment. Recommended homework is listed, as well as a list of materials that the teacher will need during the class. f you do not understand one of the games that is mentioned in a lesson, please I check Appendix B for complete instructions. ou may notice that at the end of each lesson there is a section called Materials. Y This is to help you prepare for your classes. If you make these materials once, chances are you will be able to use them for years to come. Read through the entire lesson before you prepare the materials. If you are not sure how to make the

item listed in the materials section, you can look in Appendix A, in the back of the book, where all materials are listed and explained. These materials and visual aids will help your students become interested in English, and if they are excited and interested in your class, they will be well behaved and work hard to learn for you. Please dont think you need to be an artist to make these visual aids. Your visual aids DO NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT! here are many Review Days throughout the school year. On these days, you can T work on words or grammatical structures that your children find difficult. We have given you written exercises that you can do with the children, and suggested some review activities for you to do with them. In the book you will see the sentence See review activity #34,23in Appendix B for suggested activity ideas. Look in Appendix B for complete explanations of these activities. Do not try to do all of the activities listed. They are just suggestions. Please choose one or two activities from the list to do in class. he Assessment sections of the manual are divided into 3 levels as well. Use the T level that your children have been learning at through the semester. If time remains after the test, you may either review the test questions or play a review game from Appendix B. here are many English songs throughout the lesson plans. The music to the songs T is located in Appendix E, so you can learn the tune. We understand that some topics are difficult for students to understand, because English is very different from Uzbek and Russian. If the students need to spend more time on a topic, you may use the built-in catch up days to review with them, or you may use a review day. It is more important for the children know the information than it is to teach every lesson. f your students have English more or less than 2 times a week, you can still use I this manual. If you have more lessons, you may teach 2 lessons from the same days topic, or you may use one of the games from a different lesson, and change the vocabulary. Dont forget that you may make your own interesting lessons too! If you teach less than 2 times a week, you may finish half of the lessons in the year, or you may omit some of the units and teach them next year. here is a list of vocabulary words in the beginning of each section. These are T suggested words. If your students can handle more or less words, you may omit or add. If you use word or picture cards in class, this list can be useful for preparing them. he holiday lesson plan suggestions will teach your children a little about our T American culture. Its fine if they dont remember the words; we just want them to be exposed to some of our traditions. All of the holiday activity ideas are in Appendix C. Please look at suggested activities for each grade level. un Days are days for playing games and speaking English at the same time. They F are a reward for your children for working so hard. There are some American games and activities for Fun Days listed in Appendix D. You may use any of the Review Activities in Appendix B on these days, or use a fun game that the children already know and enjoy. This way, your pupils can learn and have fun at the same time! You may, of course omit these fun days and do review activities instead. e have used the pronoun her when writing about the teacher in the lessons. We W recognize that many men are also great English teachers and we ask forgiveness for using only this pronoun! This manual would not have been possible without the help of Peace Corps volunteers Joe Tinnel, Jenni Scheifer, Amanda Tuffli, Kayte Stefiuk, Laurie Rich, and Tony Salerno, their colleagues and the schools in which they have worked throughout Uzbekistan. Chirchik Schools # 5, 15, and 24, Bukhara School #--, Zarbdor School#-- and Jizzakh School #--. Some activities have been borrowed from the Elementary Songbook, by Uzbek 14 volunteers, and the PC Kazakhstan Summer Camp Manual. Good luck, and have a great school year! Sincerely, Emily Houk, editor

Appendix C: Holiday Activities


Halloween
October 31st

History of Halloween
Halloween, or All Hallows Eve began as a religious holiday. All Hallows Day, a day to remember people who died, is November 1. So, on October 31st, the eve (day or evening before) of this day, some people thought that spirits, or ghosts, would come to earth and cause trouble. People dressed up in scary costumes in order to scare the spirits away before they could cause mischief. Our American holiday has become non-religious. Children and adults both enjoy Halloween. They dress up in silly or scary costumes, and go to parties or out to Trick-or- Treat. Children, dressed in costumes, walk around their neighborhoods in the evening with a bag or pillowcase, knocking on doors and calling out Trick-or Treat! The response from the neighbors is to put candy, or treats, in the bags. The tradition is that if the neighbor doesnt give a treat, the child will play a trick on them. Halloween traditions include carving a face in a pumpkin- and putting a candle inside so the face shines (called a Jack o Lantern), and playing party games such as Bob for Apples, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and Musical Chairs. Traditional costumes include witches, wizards, ghosts, monsters, princesses, pirates, skeletons be creative! Traditional foods include popcorn balls, toasted pumpkin seeds, candy-covered apples on a stick, apple cider, and CANDY! Traditional animals of Halloween are bats, spiders, black cats- anything thats black or scary. Traditional symbols of Halloween are skeletons, pumpkins, witches (stirring a big qazon or flying on brooms), spiders, bats, and ghosts. Traditional colors are orange and black- so even if you dont have a costume, you can still celebrate the holiday by wearing these colors.

Suggested Activities
Bob For Apples-A large basin of water is placed on the floor. Apples are placed in the water, and children must trey to pick up an apple using their teeth. They must not use their hands. Pin the Tail on The Donkey-A large poster of a donkey with no tail is put on the wall. Children- on at a time- are blindfolded and given a paper tail which they should try to pin on the wall- as close to the right place as they can. Musical Chairs-Chairs(one less than the number of players) are placed in a circle. Music is played, and the players walk around the chairs. When the music stops, the players must quickly sit down. Whoever is left without a chair is out. One chair is taken away, and the game continues until only one person is left. Popcorn Balls -Pop corn. Make a sugar syrup with 1 part water to 2 parts sugar. Boil until golden. Add a spoonful of butter to the syrup. Pour syrup carefully over the popcorn, and mix with a spoon. Be careful- it is HOT! After a few minutes, put some butter or oil on your hands and make balls with the popcorn. Cool and eat. Carved Pumpkin and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds-Choose a pumpkin with thin walls. Cut a hole in the top, around the stem, and take out all of the seeds. Set aside. Draw a face on the pumpkin. Be creative, but remember you have to cut out the eyes, nose and mouth. If you do this please be very careful. The pumpkins in Uzbekistan are harder and thicker than those in America. Take care to cut yourself. Put a candle in the pumpkin, and light in the evening. Take the seeds, and wash them, removing all of the pumpkin. Pour some

Thanksgiving
The 4th Thursday in November Thanksgiving is an American holiday when we think about all the things we are lucky to have- family, friends, and all of the things that make our lives good. When the Pilgrims- the first European settlers in America- first arrived in America, it was a very difficult and dangerous place to live. Many people died. The Pilgrims didnt know how to live and grow food in America yet. They were very worried that there would be no food in the winter. But the Native Americans who already lived in America helped the Pilgrims and showed them how to grow food and live there. Because of the kindness of the Native Americans, the Pilgrims lived through the winter, and in November, they all had a feast- a big meal together, to celebrate their friendship and their good fortune. We remember this time on the fourth Thursday of each November. On this day we gather together with our friends and family and eat a large meal, a symbol of our good luck and richness. We often tell each other why we are thankful- and on this day, we think about how lucky we are. Symbols of Thanksgiving: A turkey- the traditional thanksgiving food A cornucopia- a horn shaped basket full of fruits and vegetables- this word also means a lot of Pilgrims- Pilgrims traditionally dressed in black and white with black hats for the men, white hats for the women. Corn- especially Indian Corn which has different colored kernels, is a symbol of having enough to eat. Traditions of Thanksgiving: a parade, a big football game, giving thanks, visiting family members, and eating a lot of food! Fat Turkeys Song (to the tune of Did you ever see a Lassie?) Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble, Fat Turkeys, Fat Turkeys Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble, Fat Turkeys we are. We walk very proudly and gobble so loudly, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble Oh gobble, gobble, gobble, Fat turkeys we are. 5 Little Turkeys Poem 5 little turkeys standing by a door, One waddled off and then there were 4 4 little turkeys standing by a door, One waddled off and then there were 3 3 little turkeys standing by a door, One waddled off and then there were 2 2 little turkeys standing by a door, One waddled off and then there was 1 One little turkey, better run away, For soon will come Thanksgiving Day.

Suggested Activities for Thanksgiving 3rd Form-2 days


Teacher should explain the origin of the holiday in local language. Teach several vocabulary words such as turkey, to give thanks, dinner, tradition. Use a game that the children like to practice the words. Make a turkey: Children trace their hands on a piece of paper(the thumb is the head and neck, the fingers are feathers). They can color and decorate the turkey, and then write one thing about themselves in each of the feathers. Review days of the week, paying special attention to the pronunciation of the th in Thursday. Speak about Fall Children can also write or speak about what they are thankful for. Teach them the vocabulary as it comes up- although they should know most of the words.

4th Form- 1 day


Ask the children what they remember about the holiday, and then read the text: On the 4th Thursday of every November, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Giving thanks means we like to think about and tell each other about the things we like or love. This tradition started when the first people came to America. The Native Americans helped them to live through the winter. They were so glad they all had a big feast. So now, Americans have a big feast every year to remember all the things that we have, especially our family and our friends. We remember how lucky we are. Students may also speak about what they are thankful for. They should use words like I am thankful for I am glad that Students may discuss what they would eat if they had Thanksgiving in Uzbekistan.

Christmas
December 25th

New Years Eve, New Years Day


December 31st, January 1st In America, Christmas is one of our favorite holidays. Christmas is traditionally known as the birthday of Jesus Christ, the main figure in the Christian religion. Christians celebrate this holiday by going to church, but many other people think of Christmas not only as a religious holiday, but as a family holiday, and a time to tell our friends and loved ones how much we love them. It is also a time to give gifts to each other. Many people start preparing for Christmas in the beginning of December. We have parties and get Christmas trees. A Christmas tree is usually an evergreen tree, which is decorated with small lights and ornaments. People in Uzbekistan also decorate trees for the New Years holiday. We place our wrapped gifts underneath the Christmas tree, waiting to open them on Christmas morning. For children, there is the tradition of Santa Claus- or Saint Nicholas. Santa Claus is a big fat man who wears a red and white suit. We say that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, and has a toy workshop. Elves- magical little people with pointed ears- are Santas helpers. They work all year making toys for good girl and boys. We say that Santa Claus keeps our names on a list and always writes whether we have been good or bad. Along with the tree, we also keep stockings or big socks hanging on a wall so that Santa can fill them up with presents. If we have been bad, Santa will fill our stockings with coal instead of presents. On Christmas Eve, we say that Santa flies around the world in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer, and climbs down our chimneys to place presents from his big bag or sack under the Christmas tree. On Christmas morning, children like to wake up early to see what gifts Santa has

left them. After opening gifts, we often visit relatives and have a large meal. Often this meal includes a roasted goose as the main dish. Some Christmas traditions are as follows: Caroling- Singing Christmas carols- or songs, is a popular tradition. Sometimes groups of friends go around their neighborhoods and sing for their neighbors. This is called caroling. Mistletoe- mistletoe is a small plant with white berries that grows in trees. We often hang a piece of mistletoe from the ceilings in our homes, and if two people stand under the mistletoe, they should kiss. Roasting Chestnuts- It is traditional to buy or make roasted chestnuts in Christmas. They are simply chestnuts that have been baked. Gingerbread house- A gingerbread house is a small house made from cookies and decorated with brightly colored candies. It is held together with a sugar frosting which looks like snow. They are fun for children to make and eat. Christmas cookies for Santa- Children often leave a plate of Christmas cookies (any type of decorated cookie) and a glass of milk near the Christmas tree for Santa to eat when he comes with presents. Going to visit Santa Claus- A more recent tradition is to visit Santa Claus at a store or public place. Children go and sit on his lap and whisper to him what they want for Christmas. Traditional symbols: Christmas tree, Holly( a plant with pointed, green leaves and red berries- it stays green in the winter), mistletoe, a Santas cap, candy canes(a red and white striped peppermint candy) a Christmas tree A sleigh, and reindeer Traditional Colors: green, red and white New Years Eve and New Years Day are also traditional holidays in America. On New Years Eve, people often go to parties to celebrate the end of the old year, and the beginning of the new one. We often make New Years resolutions on this day. This is when we decide that we will do something differently or accomplish a goal for the next year. New Years Day is a day to spend with family and friends, visiting and eating together to celebrate the New Year. At New Years parties, we often wear silly hats, make noise with noise makers, and throw small pieces of colored paper, or confetti, as we count down to the New Year. People usually stop everything and count down from ten seconds until the first second of midnight, when the New Year begins. People often drink champagne and eat expensive foods to celebrate this holiday. Traditional symbols of New Years: An old man-Father Time, and a baby- a symbol of the New Year. In New York, a big celebration takes place in Times Square- and people watch a ball drop. This ball is a large ball with light on it at the top of a building. At ten second until midnight, it begins to drop, and everyone watches it until it reaches the roof of the building. Singing Auld Lang Syne- a German song which translates to the good old days a song to remember time that has past, and telling us to look forward to the New Year.

April Fools Day


April 1st April first is April Fools Day. On this day it is common to play jokes on your friends. This means that you tell your friends something that is funny, but not true. Or you can do something to make them feel silly. People can be very creative on this day and make up very interesting and funny stories to fool their friends- that is, to make their friends feel silly or foolish. This holiday started long ago, when New Years Day was changed from April to January 1st. There were no televisions, radios or telephones, so many people didnt hear about this change right away. People who still celebrated the New Year on April 1st were fools and people played jokes on them and called them April Fools! Traditional jokes to play on people: Tell someone his or her shoe is untied. Tell someone there is something on his or her face. Teachers often tell children there will be a surprise test on this day. Students may play a joke to surprise their teacher. Tell someone there is a fly or bug in his or her food or drink.

2nd Form- class


Tell children about this holiday and ask them whom they would play a joke on and what would that joke be?

3rd Form- class


Remind children about this holiday. Teach the words to trick, to joke, to fool, to play a joke on. Let children make up sentences using these new verbs. Imagine your friend told you that Navruz had been changed to May 15th. Would you believe him? What would you do? Would you think that he was playing a joke on you?



Appendix D: Fun Day Activities


You may use any songs, games or review activities on Fun Days. Here are a few other game suggestions. 7 Up: 7 children are chosen to come to the front of the room. All other children must put their heads on their desks and close their eyes. They should hold out their hand, and hold their thumb up. The 7 children each move very quietly to one student, and touch his or her thumb. Then they go back to the front. Teacher say, Heads up, 7 up! The 7 children whose thumbs were touched stand up, and must guess who touched their thumb. If they guess correctly, they take the place of that child. Repeat. Alphabet Bingo: Use the alphabet to fill in Bingo Cards (5 rows of 5 squares) teacher or child calls letters, and the children cover the letters with small pieces of paper as they are called. The first child to cover a row of letters (across, down or diagonally) wins the game. Around the World: This game may be played with any vocabulary, or simple math. The first two children in the front desk stand up. Teacher gives a word, and the child must translate it (or, in the case of math, solve the equation). The child who answers more quickly moves to the next child, and the teacher gives another word or equation. When one child doesnt answer more quickly than the other, he must sit where he is (dont move back to own seat). This way, you can see who has moved the farthest around the room. Blanket Name Game: Divide the class into 2 teams. 2 children must hold the blanket up so the teams cant see the other teams. Each team quickly chooses a child to stand in front of the blanket. The children quickly pull down the blanket and each child must try to say the others name first. The child who says the name first brings the other child to his team. Detective: Label the corners of the room 1,2,3 and 4. One child is blindfolded- the detective. The other children must move VERY QUIETLY from one corner to another. When they are all in their chosen corner, the detective calls out a number where he or she thinks children are standing. All children in that corner must sit down. Children move again, and the detective calls out a number. Repeat until there is one child left. That child becomes the new detective. Human Knot: Children stand in a close circle. They each put one hand in the middle of the circle, and hold someone elses hand. Then they each put their other hand in the circle and hold a different hand. Without breaking hands, children must undo the knot they have made, and make themselves into a circle, all holding hands. Sherpa Walk: Blindfolded directions with a line of blindfolded children, each holding the shoulder of the child before him or her. Tic-Tac-Toe (Noughts and Crosses): Make a large Tic-Tac-Toe board on the board. Divide the class into 2 teams. One child from each team comes to the front and must answer a question or translate a word. Whoever answers more quickly may put a mark on the board for his or her team. Titanic: Children walk around in a large space, as if they were taking a walk on the Titanic. The teacher calls out a number- usually 1-6, depending on number of children. This means that the ship is sinking and the children must get in the lifeboats in sets of that number. They must hold hands with no more or less children that the number called. Those children not holding hand with enough children or none must sit down. Repeat until a few children remain. Zip zap Zop: Children must stand in a circle: Going in order around the circle, children must say, zip, then zap, and then zop. Children have 2 seconds to say the appropriate word. If they say the wrong word or hesitate too long, they are out. Continue until there is one student left.
