LESSON 2

"PILGRIMS vs. INDIANS"

This activity is going to be an action game (this is mostly to help kids who learn trough bodily-linesthetic intelligence). 

We will them some hat (half of the class with the pilgrims one, the other half with feathers) and we will paint big circles in the floor; after that we will tell them a number and they will have to group themseves with the others (pilgrims with pilgrims and Indians with Indians). Later, it will be the same but mixing them.

MATERIALS for the class:

• Indians tapes.
• Pilgrims hats.
• Chalk.

We will use the same hat all we use in the "Thanksgiving Story". 

MATERIALS for hats:

• EVA 
• Glue
• Scissors
• Velcro

WAY OF DOING:

• Here you have two tutorials made by us.

This activity will take more or less 10' and we can do it in the playground of the school.

Pupils could know difference between pilgrims and indians, remember the numbers, learn to make groups adn increase participation.

And we will use only two skills to do it: speaking and listening.

"THANKSGIVING VIDEO"

For this activity we are going to watch a funny cartoon video telling Thanksgiving story (didactival and entertain at the same time). 

This is the one we are going to use:

This activity will take more or less 10'  althought the videos is short, and we can do it in class or in the ICTs class.

Pupils could know Thanksgiving Story and learn to listen.

And we will use only one skills to do it: listening.

"PUZZLE AND MATCHING GAMES"

For this activity we will introduce the ICTs in the class because children are really interested on it, so they could learn better.

This activity will take place after watching the video, to carry out some activities relarted to ICTs that we had created by ourselves froms before (in ths case, a puzzle and some matching activities).

We created it with a programme called "JClic" where you can created lot of different kind of game appropiated for little children.

You could developed it with the digital blackboard.

Here you have some pictures about the game that we created.

This is the name of the story which we are going to tell them previously.

Here you have the menu of the activity, so you can chose the game you will want to do.

We created some puzzles related with the pictures which appeared in the video.

Here you have a matching game where you have to find the couple of the pictures which appeared there. 

And here you have other matching game where you hace to mach the caracters with the clothes they usually wear.

We think that this kind of game are very easy for kids and you can evaluate if they understand the story with it.

You can dowload this games here.

This activity will take more or less 10' and we can do it in the class if we have a digital blackboard. If we haven't got it, we can go to the ICTs class.

Pupils could know how to use ICTs and use it in class, and they could check if they got the knowledge from the story.

And we will use three skills to do it: speaking, listening and writting.
