GENERAL EXPLANATION:

In this section, we will log in The Pearl of Africa’s pbworks website because we have the necessary material there. Beside, the pupils will work in groups of four and

they will use a computer to search the necessary information. The different parts of the exercise are designed for standard level students. Even though, the early-finishers

could be faster doing the part of the climate.

It is time to know about Uganda’s climate. In this section, we will work with a climate chart which shows Uganda’s climate features. We will need the Internet to go

into AEMET webpage, in order to search Pamplona’s climate features.

Finally, we will put the answers in common.

VOKI

The students will listen to Remira’s

explanation (a voki). The climate in

Uganda is mainly tropical and there are

two seasons during the year, the dry

season and the wet season.

GENERAL EXPLANATION:

This section has a lot of exercises and we have decided to divide it into two parts. It means, we will do it in two days. The first day, we will read the reading and will do the

exercise related to that; the first matching exercise, the key concepts exercise and the second matching exercise. In that way, we are going to work the reading skill.

Besides, we will check through the two matching exercises if the students have understood the reading’s content. 

The second day, we will carry out some exercises in order to work the comparison between Uganda and the Basque Country. Even though, we will work countries’ features,

the students will show their English’s skills. Actually, they have to use comparative and superlative forms to compare their country’s landscapes with Uganda’s landscapes.

As the unit is uploaded in The Pearl of Africa PBworks website; students will use the Internet.

This matching exercise is to clarify

vocabulary doubts. There are some green-

highlighted words in the reading text. Those

words are unknown for students, and then

the aim of the exercise is to know them.

They should match the highlighted word with

the correct image. The majority of the words

are parts of the body of animals or

descriptive adjectives. They will do the

exercise in pairs, because it has a level of

difficulty (new vocabulary).

The teacher will introduce the

topic by giving them the

example of her experience in

Uganda. She will use a power

point with real photos and

information about the country

such as where is located and

which ones are the most

important geographical

features. She will also give

them a specific example of a

town, explaining how they livethere. The aim of this acitvity is

to motivate them to learn more

about Uganda.

After the oral presentation we

will make them some questions

(to all the group) to get to know

how much do they know about

the topic. The questions are in

the end of the power point.

As a conclusion, we have to

explain why is this topic

important and raise awareness

about their lack of information ofthe topic. We will do this

through a group discussion in

which we will ask them

something like: have you ever

learnt something about this in

we know about tribes. Students

will listen to two voki listenings

where Remira explains what

this concept means. We are

going to hear the excerpt three

times. The first time we will try

to understand what she issaying. Then, they will listen to

it again while we try to do the

activity of filling the gaps. They

will have another chance to

finish it if they need it.

In this section, we will first work with two readings about different tribes. In order to work with the readings of the “Journey” part, we will use the smart blackboard and

open the webpage. First, we will work the first one (Basoga people), and if we have time, we will work with the second (Bagisu). The second writing is added mainly for the

early-finishers, but we expect that we will have time to read both of them. We will also have a third text, explaining the circumcision tradition, which is much more difficult.

The activity of this text is also difficult. This last text is designed for the native speakers of each class. After finishing learning about different tribes´ culture, we will do a

more practical activity, learning a Ugandan song in English and their language.

TIMING:

-READING PART: One hour, starting the first day after the listening activities and following the next day (50min.)

The first time, we will read

the text all together from

the web and explain the

most difficult sentences

and vocabulary ( the one

that is in the column of

make the first activity all

together. After that, they

carefully the text they will

do the activities related to

each text in pairs. Those

the document they have to

write the names of themember of the group. The

title of the document will

be: JOURNAY ACROSS

Those activities are

planned in a specific way:

they try to rich different

understanding levels, from

having a general idea of

each paragraph through

the skimming strategy in

the first activity; to

scanning the text and

answering some questions

that make them find out

the difficult concepts of

the text and have a better

.2.WRITING

 

-EXPLANATION:

After this activity, they will create a text in

groups of three or four. We are going to tell

them that they have to write a e-mail for our

Ugandan friend, Remira, and she is going to

show it in her school and, probably, their

students will answer it. In this e-mail they

need to explain some characteristics of the

Basque culture. So, in this activity they willwrite an e-mail with that contains an

informative text.

-PREWORK:

We will first explain that the aim of our

informative text is to give some real

information about a Basque Culture fact. We

have to underline that informative texts are

objective and give real information. We can

explain them some characteristics of

informative texts such as the use of technical

words, the use of the third plural person and

the spatial and temporal indicators. We will

use the informative texts that we have

already read to show them some examples of

those characteristics. As it is an informative

text, we will encourage them to find real

information about their topic on the Internet.

We will show them how to use the online

dictionaries if they need.

-BEFORE MAKING THE TEXT:

After we have explained what kind of text are

they going to create, we will give them the

specific task they have to do. The structure

they have to follow to write this text and a

clear and good example of this task arespecified in the website.There is also an

adapted task for the lower-level students

called “example letter”.

traditional

components...)-Use of adjectives

-Use of the plural:

-Use of the

present simple

-Use of spatial

indicators

The English we will

teach in the

second part of the

section will depend

on the topic they

are going to

describe in theire-mail. As long as

it is an open

activity, we cannot

set the language

that they will need

before they start

doing it.

4.3.PAIREVALUATION

We will need to choose one text among all

of them, because we cannot send all to

Remira. Therefore, before they start writing,

we will have to agree on how the e-mails

are going to be evaluated. For that reason

we will show the “Halloween txarra” pdf

document, which is a bad example of a

descriptive text. We will ask them: is it a

good text? Why? Can you understand it?

And they will have to give their opinion and

some reasons. After that, we will compare

this text with “Halloween ona” and write

why the second text is better than the first

one. With those ideas, we will create a

template to evaluate the texts with the

quizmaker. We have a word explaining step

by step how to make one and we will also

show them an example of quiz that can be

used as an evaluation rubric of the website.

-AFTER WRITING THE TEXT

After writing their e-mails, each group

needs to present and defend their work in

front of the others, while their classmates

are going to evaluate in groups. We willchoose the best text according to the results

of the evaluation carried out by the different

groups of students in class.
