ORIENTATIONS TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING

Recent research has shown that, in general, students who develop critical thinking skills are more able to
achieve better marks, become less dependent, create knowledge, evaluate, and change the structures in society.
Teachers’ questions constitute a central aspect to develop students’ critical thinking. These are examples of
questions and tasks that consider the different levels of thinking proposed in the New Bloom’s Taxonomy
(Anderson et al., 2001).

Dear Susan, Greeting


It feels like such a long time since l last saw you, although I
know it's only been a few weeks. So far, my summer has
been great! Introduction
I spend all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice
tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I have
been playing lots of volleyball, surfing, and building a nice
collection of sea shells. Just this past weekend I took second
place in a sandcastle building contest! Body
I hope the summer's been going well for you too. There's
only a month and a half left of summer vacation and after
that it's back to school. Would you like to meet up some Closing
time before school starts?
Your friend, Signature
Teresa

milk, or maybe some orange juice instead. You
should also eat healthily and at regular times, and
your brain will benefit from good nutrition.
Some of you ask if it is a good idea to do physical
activity before the exam to get rid of excess energy.
Mm, it depends. If you do some very strenuous
activity just before the exam, for example several
hours of swimming, or running a marathon, you
will get rid of the excess energy and have nothing
left for your exam, but if you do some mild activity,
such as walking in the park or even some dancing,
you will benefit from it. If you are very tense just
before the exam, you can practise relaxation
techniques. For example, you can clench or unclench
your fists or you can buy yourself a squeezing ball
instead. You can also practise deep breathing to get
oxygen to the brain.
One of the most important things is to believe in
yourself. If you prepare for the exams properly ,you
will do fine, meaning that there is no need to worry
excessively.
And finally, if you are still nervous, tell someone – it
always helps to get some moral support.

FINAL REFLECTION

Give students enough time to analyse what they


have done and learnt in this unit. Encourage them
to follow the tips suggested and to share ideas in
their groups.

Woman work, by maya angelou

Woman Work
by Maya Angelou
I've got the children to tend Storm, blow me from here
The clothes to mend With your fiercest wind
The floor to mop Let me float across the sky
The food to shop Till I can rest again.
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry Fall gently, snowflakes
I got company to feed Cover me with white
The garden to weed Cold icy kisses and
I've got shirts to press Let me rest tonight.
The tots to dress
The can to be cut Sun, rain, curving sky
I gotta clean up this hut Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Then see about the sick Star shine, moon glow
And the cotton to pick. You're all that I can call my own.

Shine on me, sunshine


Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops Taken from: Angelou, M. (1994), The Complete Collected Poems of
And cool my brow again. Maya Angelou. New York: Random House, Inc.

1. Read the poem and list at least five actions the woman must do.

2. What is the other subject of the poem, apart from work?


a. Entertainment. b. Sports. c. The weather.
• Global enGlish 3º MEDIO

3. In Unit 2 you learnt a structure that can be found in this poem. Which one is it?
a. The Imperative. b. The First Conditional. c. The Interrogative.

BackgrounD inFormation
maya angelou was born in 1928; her parents divorced when she was only three years old, and she and
her brother, Bailey, went to live with their grandmother, whom they called Momma, in Stamps, Arkansas.
After going back to live with her mother in St. Louis, Maya was abused by her mother's boyfriend. Shortly
after his trial, her rapist was found murdered; Maya felt that she had killed him and for a while she
PhotocoPiable material •

stopped speaking. Maya's early life is the subject of her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
(1970). Her life story is continued throughout her other autobiographies.
At a very young age, Maya had to deal with many issues, such as her rape and her identity as a black
person. Her poetry "draws heavily on her personal history, but employs the points of various personae"
(Britannica Online 9/17/98). Maya Angelou's poetry is often short; the lines of the stanzas are often short
as well.
An incident that will forever keep Angelou's poetry in the mind of Americans is her delivery of a poem
that she wrote for President Clinton's inauguration on January 20, 1993. On a television programme,
Maya Angelou discussed this as her "crowning moment as a poet" (Hagen 134). Angelou was only the
second poet and first female to deliver a poem at such an event.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was born in Ireland, of English parents. Swift's father died shortly before he was
born, leaving Jonathan, his sister, and their mother dependent on his father's family. Their mother moved to
England and left him with a nurse for his first three years.
He attended Ireland's best schools, including Trinity College in Dublin. He was there in 1689, when civil
unrest forced him and other Protestants to flee Ireland for England. In England, Swift began to work as
secretary to scholar and former Parliament member Sir William Temple. In 1695 he returned to Ireland and
became a protestant minister.
Between 1696 and 1710, Swift wrote most of his first great work, A Tale of a Tub, a prose satire on the
religious extremes represented by Roman Catholicism and Calvinism, and in 1697, he wrote The Battle of the
Books. In 1720, he began work upon Gulliver's Travels, intended "to vex the world, not to divert it." Since then,
it has achieved quite the contrary effect; it has become one of the most beloved children’s classics, has been
filmed several times, and has even been turned into a cartoon.
His last work was published in 1735 and he died in 1745.

Lesson 1 – Two Poems about dogs

A Dog Has Died

My dog has died. No, my dog used to gaze at me,


I buried him in the garden paying me the attention I need,
next to a rusted old machine. the attention required
to make a vain person like me understand
Some day I'll join him right there, that, being a dog, he was wasting time,
but now he's gone with his shaggy coat, but, with those eyes so much purer than mine,
his bad manners and his cold nose, he'd keep on gazing at me
and I, the materialist, who never believed with a look that reserved for me alone
in any promised heaven in the sky all his sweet and shaggy life,
for any human being, always near me, never troubling me,
I believe in a heaven I'll never enter. and asking nothing.
Yes, I believe in a heaven for all dogdom
where my dog waits for my arrival Ai, how many times have I envied his tail
waving his fan-like tail in friendship. as we walked together on the shores of the sea
in the lonely winter of Isla Negra
Ai, I'll not speak of sadness here on earth, where the wintering birds filled the sky
of having lost a companion and my hairy dog was jumping about
who was never servile. full of the voltage of the sea's movement:
His friendship for me, like that of a porcupine my wandering dog, sniffing away
withholding its authority, with his golden tail held high,

My Dog's My Boss
by _______________________

Each day when it's three He gazed at me with eyes of woe


Old Dick looks at the clock, As if to say: 'Old boy,
Then proudly brings my stick to me You mustn't lose your grip, you know,
To mind me of our walk. Let us with laughing joy,
And in his doggy rapture he On heath and hill six miles or so
Does everything but talk. Our legs and lungs employ.'
But since I lack his zip and zest And then his bark was stilled to a sigh
My old bones often tire; He flopped upon the floor;
And so I ventured to suggest But such a soft old mug am I
Today we hug the fire. I threw awide the door;
But with what wailing he expressed So gaily, though the wind was high
The death of his desire! We hiked across the moor.

Glossary

Still: (verb) to silence. Zip and zest: expression referring to being energetic, vigorous.

and was drawn into the Spanish Civil War. On his return to Chile, Neruda was elected to the Senate, but
changes in the political climate forced him into exile. He eventually returned to Chile. He was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. He was perhaps the most important Latin American poet of the
20th century.
Some of his best known works are Crepusculario, Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada,

TRANSCRIPT - LISTENING - 25 After two days in the desert sun,


A HORSE WITH NO NAME My skin began to turn red;
After three days in the desert fun,
The speaker has an American accent.
I was looking at a river bed
On the first part of the journey And the story it told of a river that flowed
I was looking at all the life; Made me sad to think it was dead.
There were plants, and birds, and rocks, and things; After nine days, I let the horse run free
There was sand, and hills, and rings. ‘Cause the desert had turned to sea;
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz There were plants, and birds, and rocks, and things;
And the sky with no clouds; there was sand, and hills, and rings.
The heat was hot and the ground was dry, The ocean is a desert with its life underground
But the air was full of sound. And a perfect disguise above;
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name, Under the cities lies a heart made of ground,
It felt good to be out of the rain; But the humans will give no love.
In the desert, you can remember your name
‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain.

Samaritans is necessary?
Henry: I think our society moves very quickly and
often doesn’t find time for people who can’t
cope with pressure. It’s there for people who
are without support at a particularly stressful
time and for people who do have support and
friends, but their problem is something very
private that they’d rather discuss with
someone objective. The service offers
something which is always there, befriending
without questioning or criticism, and
completely confidential.
