Introduction Our view of language What’s Up?  3  3rd edition is a four-level series especially designed to help teenage learners at the age of 12-16 to learn English from a cognitive-functional  view of language. This view proposes a triadic relationship between language, thought processes and culture.

Therefore, theisview of languageholistic that underlines the whole series an experiential  view which rejects the division of the study of language into syntax, lexis, semantics, pragmatics and phonology as separate components. Meaning is construed by the interplay of grammar, ie grammar as syntax and lexis together, and phonology (prosodic features and phonemes) integrated in communication in context. Speakers of a language in a meaningful interactive situation draw from the linguistic resour resources ces of the language in question. That implies syntactic rules, lexical choices and phonological features to finally construe their meaning in context. Any change in meaning implies a change in i n grammar and prosodic features add to the communicative intention of the speaker in a particular context, ie the same utterance can expres expresss different meanings accord according ing to the context. The difference between a sentence and an utterance should always be considered when teaching. A sentence is a grammatical concept that points to the syntactic construction and to the lexical choices. choices. Whereas, an utterance involves grammatical forms, sounds and intonation patterns, as well as the semantic structure (ie meaning) expressing a communicative intention. Communication is the primary function of language, which has an impact on the form that language takes. Great importance is given to both cognitive and socio-cultural factors in relation to the linguistic phenomenon  and, of course, the rejection of the idea that syntax is autonomous fromthe semantics pragmatics. Functionalism studies full rangeand of the linguistic phenomena rather than only “grammatically correct sentences”. We do not “speak grammar” but we communicate meaning. Grammar is important as it serves for the purpose of meaning construction in meaningful interaction. In terms of language acquisition, a child constructs her/his language from the information available in meaningful interactive situations. We logically think of language in use. There are no distinctions between a central or a peripheral use of language, ie the notion of exception is rejected and all the uses of language are taken into account. When we understand a language , we also understand our conceptual world. The notion of concept refers to a person’s idea of the world around. Concepts are developed through our interaction with the physical and cultural world. Conceptualisation is dynamic because we reconstruct our concepts as we interact with other people’s views.

Our view of the teaching and learning process The teaching perspective will depend on the view of language each teacher adheres to. From a learningcentred stance, students are guided to discover how much of their learning they are able to construe by themselves. No matter whether students are focusing on language structure or not, meaning is central to enable them to make sense of what teachers are trying to teach. Thus, the aim of the series goes beyond the idea of transmitting rules of use but generating meaningful use of language. Following a reflective approach to learning, it aims at educating learners. This implies to provide opportunities to think critically, reflect and develop self-awareness and awareness of others. The guiding principle is to enable students to be able to communicate efficiently. And communicating efficiently implies, in the first place, to understand exactly what we want to express. Secondly, it also implies to be aware of the possible impact that what we want to say haveideas on our well as to be able tomay put our intointerlocutors, words. In thisasway, students will develop their own capacity to listen to others and to respect their opinions. Notice that, from the very beginning, the Opener  and  and the Pre-reading section will present a wide variety of images to help students to recall concepts they are already acquainted with. Some of these concepts will be transferred to the second language context  and some others will just serve as a springboard to embark on the reflection stage. Learning styles, students’ interests and stages of cognitive development are the key to decide on the tasks to present them. These tasks will give learners many opportunities to learn by discovery and by making connections. Students will always have a chance to reflect upon their own experiences and to review their own beliefs about everyday facts. They will be able to become aware of how much they are doing well, how much they might modify and how much they will have to accept as different choices on the part of other people they interact with. The language study section in each unit will provide the necessary tools to develop accuracy, but the focus is placed on enhancing students’ participation in authentic discussion. The series follows a spiral approach towards learning so that students can recycle linguistic contents in order to interweave new knowledge in their schemata. Students will practise linguistic content systematically while getting engaged in meaningful tasks. The Final Project in each unit will help students to take responsibility of their own learning process and will enhance group cohesion while having students work together to achieve a common aim.

 

Introduction Teache eacher’s r’s Book Teacher’ss Book introduces the rationale which underlies the series and provides plenty of suggestions to The Teacher’ improve and vary classroom activities. A description of the teaching intention of each lesson is developed in each unit. In this way, it is a real teacher companion in the process of teaching and learning. Besides, the book includes cultural information to facilitate discussion of the images in the Opener  and  and Pre-reading  section. And it also provides all the answer keys to exercises in the order they appear in the Student’s Book. Pandora box offers The either teaching tips on classroom management, warming-up activities or further extra in practice for most lessons. There are also Pronunciation  boxes that contain practical tips to integrate phonology the Language lesson as a way to help teachers to implement a cognitive-functional teaching perspective. At the end of Units 1, 3 and 5, you will find a My students… chart. We provide a few thoughts or guidelines to help you think about and answer the following questions: How are my students doing? and How can I help them to improve their learning? The teachers’ Cheat sheets will provide you with extra information on the main theme of each unit. These sheets aren’t overly exhaustive nor extensive but give you the basic information you may need to answer the first questions that may arise on one matter or another. Extra Readings: in order to answer the teachers’ main demand (more reading, more reading, more reading!), we close each unit with an extra reading, totally aligned with the content of the unit in question. Although we’re giving you 100% freedom on how to use these texts (no further practice given!), we do tell you the specific content that is covered in each case.

Student’s Book Opener and Pre-r Pre-reading eading section Each unit starts with a double-page spread, Opener  and  and Pre-reading section, where the Unit goals are listed for students’ reference. A set of images will be the starting point for class discussions and/or self-reflection upon the main topic presented in each unit. Students will be provided with the challenge to observe and spot features, to establish connections or to categorise elements by resorting to the previous knowledge they bring into the classroom. Teachers are not expected to impose their teaching, but to teach on students’ needs. All the challenges students will have to face will make them aware of what they need to learn. As it has been already mentioned, all the photos, words and exercises of this spread have been thought to get students ready for the next sections (Vocabulary  and  and Reading). As a closing feature, the Project preview will lead students to anticipate and get prepared for the Final Project. Thus, students will know from the very first minute what they are expected to do by the end of the unit. As the unit develops, students will also find suggested instructions, Project tips, to start preparing their project in advance.

Vocabulary This page is devoted to systematic work on vocabulary. vocabulary. Lexical items are introduced in context so that students can develop awareness of lexical categories which, in turn, are closely related to grammatical categories and prosodic features. These are presented as chunks features. chu nks for students to internalise.  

An invisible imaginary thread connects the Opener  and  and Pre-reading section with the Vocabulary  section  section and paves the way towards the Reading section.  

Reading There is a wide range of interesting and updated contents presented in varied text types, such as: blog entries, social networks, magazine or newspaper online articles, interviews and diaries, among others. Students will be encouraged to infer meaning from context in order to grasp content as well as to resort to different reading reading strategies, eg skimming and scanning to anticipate or predict ideas presented in the text. Analogy and opposition are hints to help students to develop both learning and productive strategies strategies which will enhance autonomy in the teaching and learning process. All Reading sections end up with a “What about you?”  box in which students will make the new content theirs by transposing the described desc ribed experience to their own reality. reality. In addition to that, all the texts introduce topics that offer opportunities to reflect upon values and beliefs, thus helping students (and teachers!) to develop develop their social-emotional intelligence skills. 5

 

Introduction Grammar This two-page section has been designed to introduce introduc e and practise main grammar points. Students will be asked to observe, compare, contrast and make connections. That is why the Grammar   boxes offer blank spaces for students to complete. Students will always be encouraged to work out o ut the presented structures by analysing the hints

provided in each section. They will also provided a lso be prompted to discover the hidden patterns and then use them in contextualised exercises. The lexical items introduced in the Vocabulary and Reading sections are constantly recycled.

Notice that further detailed explanation of grammar rules is presented in the Extra Practice Book.

Listening and Speaking These two sections share a double-page spread and present images that introduce the pre-listening activities and set the context for the listening comprehension tasks. Students will always be exposed to authentic speech in a wide variety of English accents, only adapted to accompany students’ pace according to their level of proficiency.  

As mentioned before, the series follows a spiral approach, so all the topics presented in the audio are closely related to the target vocabulary and grammar introduced in each unit. All post-listening activities will pave the way towards the Speaking section.   The Speaking section follows an invisible imaginary thread from the audio conversations to clear communication goals that involve students in real communication activities by resorting to the linguistic content introduced in the unit and by recycling the contents presented in the previous ones. Thus Thu s following our spiral approach to

teaching and learning. The selected topics provide plenty of opportunities for students to engage in meaningful communication activities, as well as they help h elp to develop students’ language proficiency. Challenging and entertaining communication-gap activities, to be carried out in pairs, have been included at the end of each Speaking section to systematise the practice of speaking skills. They can be used as rounding-off activities or as extra practice to reinforce reinforce students’ confidence in speaking.

Writing Our view of writing is not constrained to teaching how to write end products. We consider writing as a means to learning and this perspective is present throughout all the sections in the book. Neverthele Nevertheless, ss, notice that in every Writing section, a Writing rule box has been included to provide students with useful tips

to approach or achieve accurate writing. A model text is always provided for students to start by trying parallel writing. Formal and informal pieces of discourse are presented and analysed. And the communicative purpose is never left behind. Students are expected to write for real communication.

Final Project As mentioned before, the Final Project is presented at the Opener  and  and Pre-reading section for students to anticipate what they are expected to do by the end of the unit. In this way, students will become aware of how the linguistic content of the unit will help them to achieve their final aim: Make authentic use of language, recycling previous knowledge and integrating it with the content of the unit by means of oral presentations, writing creations and games, among others. Every Final Project will pose a challenge to students, so as to focus on real communication communication rather than on accuracy.. Students will be learning linguistic content accuracy while trying to succeed at communicating actual

However, a second option is also offered in case there is no access to internet connections. It is important to foster the use of ICT since it is evident that citizens of the 21st century will need to be proficient at using ICT to get any kind of work position. Nevertheless, we are aware of the limitations that some teaching and learning contexts put on teachers and students. Whenever these icons are presented, it means that:

Introduction AND CULTURE

Extra Practice Book

Every two units, a CLIL and Culture section has been integrated to offer the opportunity to work on extensive reading. Topics Topics have been carefully selected to fit students’ interests. interests.

The organisation of the Extra Practice Book follows the same structure as the Student’s Book and the Workbook, so students will be able to easily find their way through it.

They are updated and appealing to promote reading for pleasure while reinforcing reading comprehension skills. Once the article has been read, students will be encouraged to go deeper by doing further research resear ch work on the web, or in encyclopedias, magazines or newspapers. Then they will be able to share their findings with the class while exchanging opinions and points of view.

This book structures provides extra to knowledge manipulate grammar andopportunities to reinfor reinforce ce the of lexical and grammatical categories while creating meaning in context. Grammar rules are included in all units to be used as a reference when needed. Most of the exer exercises cises are contextualised so as to reinforce reinfor ce the linguistic contents knowledge kn owledge while making authentic use of language.

Fast Finishers Activities This section includes an assessing worksheet  to evaluate, or self-evaluate, students’ proficiency in the use of language as meaningful communication in context. Students will recycle their language and, since the topics presented are not exactly the same as the ones introduced in the two previous units, students will also be able to approach the language from an experiential stance. They will feel they can use language in context to express express what they actually want to say.

Workbook The integrated Workbook  at the end of the Student’s Book will provide further intensive and discrete point practice to help students to reinforce reinforce and expand the linguistic content presented in each unit. Although all the activities are suitable for self-study, they are also likely to be used in class. This component follows the same organisation as the Student’s Book, so the activities can be intermingled through the teaching process of each unit. The listening-comprehension section can be given as homework because students can access the audio files at: http://whatsup.pearsonelt.com.ar/workbookaudio.

In this way, each student will have the possibility of working at her/his own pace. The correction of the exercises can be used as a rounding-off activity in class.

Each unit of this component includes a “Fast Finishers” activity for students to solve individually. individually. They consist of extensive reading activities to keep fast finishers interested interest ed in new challenges, and students who need more time to process their learning to be granted the possibility to do so.

SEL is the process through which children and adults: >  acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions >  set and achieve positive goals,

feel and show empathy for others >  establish and maintain positive relationships, while making responsible decisions

It’s time to engage our students with Social and It’s Emotional Learning … because to educate their minds is as important as nurturing their hearts. (See special SEL section and corresponding class activities, pages 79-82)

Stick animals’ pictures in one of the sets and write the information about those animals in the other set. >  Make sure the back of the cards look exactly the same. >  Display one set of cards on one side of the desk and the other set, on the other side. All the cards must face down. >  In turns, each player will turn an information card and an animal card over. If both cards match, the player will keep the pair. If the cards don’t match, the player will show them to the other members and put them back, face down, in their place on the desk. >  The player who collects the highest number of cards is the winner.

EXTRA READING Let Chimps Be Chimps!  

We all enjoy watching chimpanzees in films and publicity publicity.. We think they are funny and adorable. But for sure, chimps must not like being in a film oratelevision studio. When chimpanzee “smiles” or “grins” in a TV commercial or in a film, it is because a person gives an order, usually with a gesture that the chimp fears or does not like. But is the chimp reallyy smiling or we think so? Often, chimp trainers (and reall trainers of other animals who work for the entertainment industry) use punishment to make animals ‘learn’ to perform certain gestures gestures or movements. So, we see the nice result but not the terrible process.

What do you know about chimps? Chimps are not monkeys – that’s a common mistake. Monkeys have got a tail but chimps have not. Chimps and monkeys are both mammals and primates, but chimps are part of a group called ‘apes’, ‘apes’, a family that includes gorillas, orangutans and even humans in some biological classifications. Chimps are wild animals – their natural habitat is the fores forests ts of Central Africa. They can stand and walk like humans, but in their habitat, they usually walk on their two legs and arms. They make nests in trees. Of course, they don’t sleep in beds! It is true that chimps are similar to humans biologically biologically.. We share 98% of our DNA with chimps. They are very intelligent and sociable, and can be friendly or aggressive – just like humans. But their intelligence is not human intelligence and they are not friendly or aggressive for the same reasons humans are. As a conclusion, chimps can do many things humans do, but we must remember that they are are not human. We must take care care of chimps and protect them, as well as their natural habitat. So, let chimps be chimps!

Ask students to translate the heading “Countable “ Countable and uncountable nouns”. nouns”. They will easily infer the meaning because the words are similar to Spanish. Encourage students to observe the Grammar table and discover the rule. If they can’t do it on their own, ask them which nouns have a plural form. 4   Tell students to identify the items individually. Allow them to use dictionaries, either online or paper, if they don’t know a word.

Ask students to complete the chart with information from the Grammar box. Guide students to discover that the forms are the same for both countable and uncountable nouns.

If a student has any differences, encourage her/him to describe them. 2. Have students sit in groups of four to six. Ask one member of the group to draw a very detailed picture on a sheet of paper. Then they will take turns to pass the picture around and to describe it to the member of the group on her/ his right. Once all students have drawn the picture according to their classmate’ss description, they will share classmate’ their drawings to compare and contrast them (all pictures should be as similar as possible) so as to see how accurate they have been while describing. Finally, invite students in each group to write a description of the picture.

Remember this section has been designed to help students to reflect upon all the lexical, grammatical and conceptual contents they have been working throughout the unit. Alternatively, values, which have been previously presented in class, have also been included. Encourage students to go over the listed items and self-evaluate whether they have been able to achieve them or not. Allow them to ask about concepts that might not be clear enough, yet. If there is a need to confirm that they can actually produce the language functions, read them one by one aloud and have students give examples. If they still have difficulties, invite them to go through the unit and revise whatever they need to. From now onwards, it would also be profitable to lead students to reflect upon how class discussions have influenced their points of view and opinions.

Games are always highly motivating. Invite students to play games every time there is some spare time. Here is a suggestion: Divide the class in two groups. On separate strips of paper, have each group write 5 sentences using the Present simple with adverbs of frequency and 5 sentences using the Present continuous. Put the groups’ sentences in two separate piles on your desk. In turns, ask a volunteer from each group to come to the front, pick one of her/his group’s sentences at random and draw what it describes. The members of her/his group will have to say the sentence corresponding to that picture using exactly the same words they have written before. The winner will be the group that guesses the highest number of sentences. Include some rules in case students need them, eg: Students can only have three attempts to guess the sentence. Alternatively, use the sentences to play “Charades” so as to have students perceive perceive the difference in the use of frequency adverbs with their bodies (they will have to represent words such as “now”, “always” or “never” through mime and gestures).

DISCONNECT TO CONNECT! Technology is a great tool for communication. Today, there are many different ways to communicate technologically. We can even communicate our emotions by means of emoticons.

What’s missing? missing? Remember technology CANNOT replace the tone of your voice, the look in your eyes or the touch of your hands.

Selina: Hey! It’s a good job I’ve got you together. Mum told me you’re planning a trip to Australia. Rob & Jamie: Hi! Jamie: Yes, we really want to go there. You went last year, didn’t you? Selina: That’s right. I was there last year. Can I give you some good advice? Rob: Please! We don’t know how to plan it. Selina: The best way to do it is to visit the places that are all

close together in one day and then you will save money on transport, see? Rob: That makes sense. But what do we have to visit? Selina: Let me think ... Yes! There are three, no, four tourist places that are very close to one another. You can go on foot from one place to another, or you can rent a bike if you want to go faster. The places are the Shrine of Remembrance, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Federation Square and ... there was a tower ... can’t remember its name...Eureka Tower! That’s it, the Eureka Tower. It’s a skyscraper. Jamie: WOW... How can you remember those names? I study for school and now I have to study for the holidays too! Oh my god, this is going to be tough. Rob: Don’t cry, Jamie. It’s holidays! You will remember the names, I swear. We can carry a notebook with these tips, just in case. Selina: Give me a pen and paper and I will draw where these places are. One thing: Using public transport is not very cheap, so walking or riding a bike are good ways of saving money. But if you are tired, you can take a bus or metro. Jamie: Cool! Study for the holidays! Spend money! Do sports! I have to start exercising otherwise I won’t be able to ride for more than 5 minutes! Just kidding ...

Remember this section has been designed to help students to reflect upon all the lexical, grammatical and conceptual contents they have been working throughout the unit. Alternatively, values, which have been previously presented in class, have also been included. Encourage students to go over the t he listed items and self-evaluate whether they have been able to achieve them or not. Allow them to ask about concepts that might not be clear enough, yet. If there is a need to confirm that they can actually produce the language functions, read them one by one aloud and have students give examples. If they still have difficulties, invite them to go through the unit and revise whatever they need to. It would also be profitable to lead students to reflect upon how class discussions have influenced their points of view and opinions.

TRAVEL TO KNOW YOU BETTER! Travelling: one of the BEST things in life! We travel to enjoy landscapes and to learn about other people, other cultures. But, travelling can also be an excellent way to get to KNOW YOU better. When we are away from home, in contact with other cultures, we start appreciating our own day-to-day activities, traditions and life. So next time you travel, think about this: How do you feel? What do you miss? (See special SEL section, pages 79-82)

Travelling Experiences my last post

My travelling experience When you think of travelling, there are four steps you can follow: 1. dream 2. plan (optional) 3. go 4. share RANDY-92 Well, here I am, writing about the last step – my UNplanned trip to “wherever-land”. Five years ago, I was in serious need of a holiday, and I dreamt of a sandy beach near a small village somewhere in the Caribbean. I surfed hundreds of sites and finally decided to book a cheap flight to one very small island. I didn’t even think of accommodation because I thought not many people could travel to that little island. That was all my planning for the trip! Soon, I discovered that the cheap flight was cheap for a reason: I spent more than 10 hours at airports waiting for connecting flights and making sure my luggage got from one plane to another. I was tired and angry, but I told myself, “Well, you have got seven days to relax on this paradise island!” Finally, I arrived on my dream island late at night and to my surprise, I found out that the only hotel on the island was full! Luckily, a local family offered me accommodation: a bed in the children’s room. And do you know what? There were SIX of them! I was so exhausted that I went to sleep without noticing the six children around me. I stayed with this family for the rest of my holidays because the hotel never had a free room, but it was for the best! They took me to places that other tourists did not visit and I swam in the sea where locals did – the beach was wonderful! They taught me to snorkel, and I borrowed one of the children’s bikes and went riding all around the island. I ate delicious local food and learnt a lot about the friendly people on the island. That was my best holidays ever. And I did not do any

planning at all!

Social and Emotional Learning Learning Welcome to our SEL Section of What’s Up?  3  3rd edition!  In accordance with this new edition’s  philosophy  and  and pedagogy , “Knowledge is power: teaching goes beyond the classroom” , we’ve elaborated this very special SEL section for YOU, teachers of the XXIst century who carry one of the heaviest responsibilities responsibilities that a profes profession sion may entail: to educate the future citizens of our world. In order to do so, we’d like to start with one very important question:  What are our objectives as educators? How are we equipping our students for a world in which positive social interactions and emotional intelligence play a key role in the professional and life-long development? development? In general, most of us have an “interventional” approach towards that. We just deal with day-to-day classroom situations while trying our best to develop the necessary skills to prepare and to awake our students’ curiosity to the subject we teach. However haven’t you ever sensed an underlying feeling of failure? Time constraints, poor institutional institution al support and/or lack of adherence by parents are all good and valid reasons, fair enough, but most of us also acknowledge the impact of emotions in the learning process. The truth is that we are hardly provided with the tools and/or resources to consistently and systematically create a reflection space for our students. How are we equipping our students for a world in which positive social interactions and emotional intelligence play a key role in the professional and life-long development? Haven’t you ever found yourself thinking or even saying, “ Oh well, ‘som ‘somebody’ ebody’ will guide them into becoming emotionally intelligent beings.” or “‘Someday’, our wholeness will be acknowledged in education.”? Well, the news is that THAT ‘somebody ’ is you and THIS ‘someday ’ is NOW. Yes, THIS is the time and HERE are the resources! Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is part of a student-centered approach that emphasises building on students’ strengths; developing skills through hands-on, experiential learning; giving young people voice in the learning process; and supporting youth through positive relationships with adults over an extended period of time. It is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, while making responsible decisions.

This new What’s Up?  3  3rd edition includes fun, engaging and easy-to-use activities for students and teachers to expand the “tips” students are provided with in the Student’s Book via QR codes. How does it work? 1. Students scan the QR code in each SEL logo with their Smartphones. 2. Students read the SEL tip and share their thoughts. 3. Teachers direct to the corresponding SEL class activity suggested in this section, where the Social and Emotional Learning tip will be expanded and lived through the teaching and learning process.

It’s time to engage our students with Social and Emotional learning It’s because to educate their minds is as important as nurturing their hearts.

Celebrating is closely related to gratitude. We celebrate what we appreciate, what we value. We can teach our students to celebrate not only big, historic events, but also to celebrate their own victories and achievements every day. Go beyond saying “thank you” and invite people to your classroom to honour and celebrate them. Expressing gratitude directly to people has been shown to enhance and spread the benefits and positive emotions behind appreciation. appreciation. In the school setting, results have indicated indicated an increase in positive feelings towards towards school. In a study that had adolescent students either count their blessings or count their hassles, results showed that “experiencing “experienci ng and expres expressing sing gratitude comprise a simple way to counter negative appraisals of school and increase increas e school bonding and social adjustment”.

On separate slips of construct construction ion paper, write down (or have students write) the things they are grateful for. Staple them together in interlocking loops to connect them together. The chain could be done with a classroom or a school, or be individual chains that comprise the many things a student is grateful for. Set a date for the party party.. It can be done on any class day taking 20 minutes for the party. Have students decorate and bring sweets and drinks as if it were a real party. They are celebrating themselves so remember to go back into the gratitude feelings and revise together during the party the things they are celebrating. celebrating.

Our future is in our hands!

DISCONNECT TO CONNECT! In an era in which “connection” – technologically speaking – is everything, it’s important to teach students how to stay disconnected in order to connect more deeply with each other. In this SEL section, students will be exploring the dimension of relationsh relationship ip skills. Invite them to experience a different type of connection. connection. Relationship skills in Social Social and Emotional Learning relate relate to the ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. This includes communicating clearly, listening actively, cooperating, resisting inappropriate social pressure, negotiating conflict constructively, construc tively, and seeking and offering help when needed. It’s important to approach the activity from an open-minded position. Technology is here to stay, students are naturals at it and there are many advantages, even in Education, related to the use of technology. The invitation here is for reflection, to try something different and to start experiencing communication in a more “human” way. Extension activity: Technology time-out!

Ask students if they have ever experienced some kind of misunderstanding with friends or family while using technology.. Ask them to provide examples and give details technology about the situation. Tell them about the importance of balance in our lives. Although technology offers great opportunities, it’s important for our brains and well-being to sometimes disconnect. Challenge them to stay some part of the day away from technology as a game. Set the following simple rules: >  Use no devices for an hour >  Choose the time (it has to be after school hours) > During that hour, all communication has to be face to

TRAVEL TO KNOW YOU BETTER! In this SEL section, students will be exploring the area related to social awareness as the ability to empathise with others from diverse backgrounds and cultures, to understand social and ethical norms for behaviour, and to recognise family, school, and community resources and supports. Travelling is one of the best ways to boost social awareness, since we connect to different cultures, people, places and lifestyles. Extension activity: Activate your SELF-KNOWLEDGE through travelling

As an extension activity of the Final Project suggested in the Student’s Book, ask students to consider the following aspects: >  Did you notice anything different related to the culture of the place? >  Was there any difference in the language? >  How did you feel there? Did you miss anything from home? How did you feel about those differences? Can you use different “feeling” words to describe how you y ou felt? Have students reflect on how much one can learn about oneself when travelling, probably certain things are more valued, or we learn more about our reactions and about our lifestyl lifestyle. e. > 

Extend the activity into a project. Ask each student to share all these experiences and feelings by making a poster with pictures and things they got from the place. It is also very important to make this activity inclusive for all realities: maybe some students have never been to a different country. And even so, cultural differences might be valued and appreciated even within our own country. country. If they have visited other cities, is orto provinces, differences are still there. The challenge see thosethe differences as invitations to embrace the different, the unique, that each local culture has to share.
