INEBI 5 UNIT 3: People Around the World Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction and descriptionThis third unit of the syllabus for Primary 5 focuses on the knowledge of
some geographic and human aspects of different countries and people. It presents a main sequence of activities organised around the topics of festivals, food and stories. Activities around those topics will foster some research on country facts, languages, traditions and nutrition. Furthermore, other activities such as songs, dances, games, ICT… supplement the unit.
These are the main cross-curricular contents of the unit:- Different festive manifestations related to religious and earth
cycles.- Country facts: area, population, outstanding natural features,
buildings...- Food classification and cooking procedures.- Stories, dances and handicrafts related to different cultures.
MATHS
Numbers bigger than 1,000.GEOGRAPHY
Identification of flags, continents, countries. Search for particular features such as high mountains, long rivers,
currency, languages…ARTS&CRAFTS
Materials for a shadow theatre show. Crafts related to festivals.
LITERATURE Drama: ‘’Strong Magic”. Songs: ‘”Everybody Loves Saturday Night”, “Aiken Drum”,
“Kookaburra”.Work on those concepts is integrated in the following three parts:
- Part I: World Festivals. In this part of the unit work on five festivals (New Year, Carnival, Eid ul-Fitr, Harvest and May Day) is proposed. Simple research on five countries related to those

INEBI 5 UNIT 3: People Around the World Introduction
celebrations (China, Brazil, Morocco, Nigeria and UK) can also be carried out.
- Part II: World Recipes. The second part of the sequence switches to another aspect of world cultures: cooking. Here the Ss will learn about food and some of its nutritional values as well as about recipes, ingredients and cooking procedures. Final productions of Part I and II are finally used to organise a kind of multicultural fair.
- Part III: World Stories. This last part supplements the unit by working on a traditional story (‘Strong Magic’, an Australian legend on the origin of koalas) through a shadow theatre show and a traditional dance (May Pole dance).
Similarly to the proposal for Units 1 and 2 of Primary 5, work on some specifically linguistic contents has been included in this unit. The suggested activities are described in the “Language Awareness” sections of the teaching sequence and it must be borne in mind that these exercises can be used interspersed in the sequence depending on the appropriateness of the moment to make their practice meaningful.
The following linguistic concepts are proposed:LANGUAGE AWARENESS
Meaning, pronunciation and spelling of basic words in the unit. Reading and writing big numbers. Wh- questions. Instructive texts.
1.2. ObjectivesChart 1 (pages 5 and 6) shows the basic communicative language objectives, the
attitudinal objectives and the content objectives, all taken from the National Curriculum
Reform Blueprint (DCB-OCD) for Primary Education.

3. General Activities
3.1. Reading
Apart from some activities in the sequence, which specifically deal with reading skills, the series of Celebration books (Non-Fiction Oxford Literacy Web, OUP) can be used in different ways:
- As reference materials to find relevant information to carry out some tasks (scanning).
- As a resource for reading out several excerpts (thorough reading focusing on oral skills, especially rhythm, intonation, stress and pronunciation).
- As a resource for reading for pleasure, browsing through the book and extracting some data about topic, number of pages, author…
3.2. Diary
As stated in previous units, two types of diaries are proposed: a classroom diary and individual notebooks where each student will keep a series of drafts, texts, planning and evaluation activities, comments on preferences, likes and dislikes, self-assessment, new vocabulary…
As usual, at the end of every unit the contents of the diary can be discussed. That allows the class to do some revision of contents (in group), either using the classroom diary or the individual ones.
3.3. My songs
The songs proposed for this unit share the common objectives of working on the meaning of their lyrics and singing them out to practise pronunciation. They differ in the types of supplementary activities that accompany them:
- A translation activity for ‘Everybody Likes Saturday Night’ in Part I.
- Creation of new lyrics for ‘Aiken Drum’ in Part II.- Identification of words for ‘Kookaburra’ in Part III.

INEBI 5 UNIT 3: People Around the World Introduction
3.4. Corners
Corner work promotes learner autonomy because Ss are allowed to choose the activities they like best (or the T assigns) while working at their own pace. At the same time it fosters cooperative learning since some of those activities must be done in pairs or in groups. In this unit some sessions are devoted to do corner work. T will decide which corners will be organized according to the materials and the facilities available in the school: computer corner, craft corner, reading corner, listening corner, board games corner, pending tasks corner (see the Document for English Language in Primary Education).
3.5. Games
These are some games to be used as warmers or round-off activities. This time, all the games are popular and the children play them in one or more regions of the world. They have been chosen taking into account their appropriateness for the classroom (i.e. not too long, procedure easy to understand…).1. “OKOSO” (A spinning game from Nigeria). Source: “Ebele’s Favourite.
A book of African games”, by Ifeoma Onyefulu. Frances Lincoln Publisher.
For this game you need at least two players and an old-fashioned spinning top. To win, you have to keep the top spinning longer than anyone else. In the classroom the children can play the game in threes or fours and measure the time by counting numbers (from a given number forwards) or calling out the alphabet.
2. “KPU KPUN KPU OGENE” (Oranges and Lemons). Source: “Ebele’s Favourite. A book of African games”, by Ifeoma Onyefulu. Frances Lincoln Publisher.
For this game, you need an even number of players, lined up in pairs with their hands joined and raised making a “roof”. To win, each pair takes it in turns to try and walk under the roof to the end of the row without touching anyone. While the children are playing, they sing the following rhyme:

3. “SCISSORS, STONE AND PAPER”This is a fast-moving hand game from Japan, originally named Jan
Ken Pon, meaning paper, sword, fist. The aim of this game for two is for each player to beat the other in a quick show of hands.
Two players sit opposite each other. Both players clench a fist and chant Jan Ken Pon or Scissors, Stone and Paper. On the last word both players display a hand in one of the following three positions:
A clenched fist represents stone. Two fingers represent scissors. A flat hand represents paper.
Stone defeats scissors; scissors defeat paper; paper defeats stone.
3.6. Video
A video clip with children from different countries singing ‘Everybody Loves Saturday Night’ can be used for revising the song and listening to it in further languages.

3.7. ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)
Some suggestions to integrate ICT in this unit:-CD-ROMs. ‘Become a World Explorer’ published by Dorling
Kindersley.-Word Processors or software for presentations can be an
alternative to pen and paper in the activities that require writing and displaying pictures.
-World Wide Web. Ss may find information and pictures on the Internet; some interesting websites are mentioned in the “Useful Web Sites” section of this document.
4. Appendix
4.1. Unit Mind Map
The Unit Mind Map aims to give Ss an overview of what they have been doing.
Procedure:
Start from the centre of the page and work out. Make the centre a clear and strong visual image that depicts the
general theme of the map. Create sub-centres for sub-themes. Use arrows, icons or other visual aids to show links between
different elements. Remember that anything that stands out on the page will stand
out in Ss’ mind.
