Title:
Brochure’s creation

Basis:

Students are very used to work in class in the same way everyday, they get bored because of this, so they do not pay attention to classes and make a lot of noise and they get desconcetrated.

Students are very unmotivated to learn english, because teachers tend to follow the same way of teaching every year.

We create this activity, the creation of brochures, in order to motivate students to participate actively in classes in a different way they are used to.

General Objective:

• To create a way to communicate them with their surrounding, through a strategie that make them to participate actively in class.

Utilizar estrategias que permitan iniciar y mantener una comunicación con su entorno de acuerdo a las características de la situación y la intención de la comunicación.

Specific objectives:

• To create and produce messages in english.

• To communicate their own preferences top other people.

• To get in contact, to know about with chilean, foreign and regional celebrations.

• To be able to look for specific information in spanish texts.

Methodology:

Part 1:

• Introduction: Teacher introduces children to chilean celebrations, like Cultural Carnivals, Fiesta de San Pedro, La Tirana, Fiesta de la minga, etc.
At the same time new vocabulary is introduced by teacher, like clothing, date, places, brief descriptions and traditions about celebrations.
