2. MANGO TREE
Mangueira
Group 4 (9-11 year olds)
Welcome teachers to Vivadí´s second Cycle!
The structure of this cycle may look familiar, as it is similar to the previous one. This will make it easier for you to get used to the planning and class dynamic!
The objectives of this cycle has are different from Cycle 1, but continue in the same line. Therefore, the rubric is also different as it is based on these new objectives.
Remember we are always available to solve any doubts you may have!
CLASS PLAN
1. STARTING SONG
2. STORYTELLING
In this section, students will understand how narratives exist anywhere. One of the many examples is in songs.
You can choose between these options in no particular order, but, remember how important repetition is. So, if you choose to repeat a song more than once, don’t worry if another song is never told.
1. STARTING SONG
-
Emphasize that the English class is beginning with a rite that will be repeated in every class.
-
Mess up the class and make room in the centre of it
-
The children take off their shoes
3. HANDS-ON!
-
This is the main activity that will follow the narrative in our classes. There are surveys, creative projects, and activities around the school (if that’s a possibility).
• The hands-on! activities are always inspired by the narratives, so make sure you check them in advance in order to better choose when each one of them.
5. BRAIN BREAKS
-
It is a transitional break to regain the student's attention, to keep them focused and to integrate their minds and bodies into one same action.
-
At the end of the game, the students should be sitting in a circle in the middle of the room.
7. ENDING SONG
-
The idea is to end the English moment with a closing rite that the kids will memorize with the repetition of it.
-
Also, it's time to put the shoes back on and order the class.
2. STORYTELLING
-
Let the children listen to a story in English
-
Always try to generate curiosity in your students by eliciting from them any kind of speculation; and when reading with them, make sure you use your body language so that meaning is clear.
-
The narrative will always be followed by a simple discussion, in which you will ask specific questions about what they’ve heard or seen.
4. MOVE YOUR HIPS
-
To let the children’s bodies move freely after staying seated.
-
Connect children's daily activities with school life.
-
Associate mind and body in the same action.
6. HARMONY TIME
-
Strengthen the student’s familiarity to the practice of harmony so that they feel comfortable to really relax. In other words, we want the practice not to be something new for them.
THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS CYCLE ARE:
-
Consolidate bond with Vivadí’s class.
-
Recognize the value of the group as a vehicle for learning and experiencing.
-
Give meaning to the contents of the class with the help of audiovisual support.
-
Feel confident enough to respond to the slogans collectively.
When you see that there is progress in these areas, you can move on to the next cycle. Check the rubric that will help you know if the group is ready to move forward!
WE SUGGEST YOU CHECK THE EVIDENCES WITH WHICH YOU WILL OBSERVE IF YOUR STUDENTS HAVE ACHIEVED THESE OBJECTIVES
It is important that the starting song is maintained throughout the cycles to emphasize the beginning of the Vivadí class. This way, we are letting students stay calm because they will know what is going to happen, even if the activities are different in this second cycle. The starting song and the ending song frame the English moment.
Once again, we need students to change the disposition of the class by moving the desks and chairs to the sides and making room in the center of the classroom.
This way, students are in charge of building their own learning space. This makes them protagonists of their process of language acquisition.
My class is 25 to 30 minutes long!
We know that some schools work with more frequent and shorter English classes of 25 to 30 minutes. In those cases, we suggest you follow this shortened plan of activities.
If your friends are in the classroom, say hello.
If you see your teacher smiling, show your teeth
If you want to show your feelings, give a hug
If you feel like being silly, make some noise
If you want to get together, make some room
Let your heart feel so much better, make some room
Let’s get ready for Vivadi
Let’s have some fun and play with english in our world
Let’s get ready for Vivadi
We are all in this together
We’ll do it you and me
We’ll be a big great family
