for working with
units
Unit aims
• Discuss strategies to develop
your reading and listening skills.
• Discuss strategies to expand
and consolidate vocabulary.
• Read a biographical profile.
• Read a comic strip.
• Listen to a song.

Starting out
As this is the first unit in the
book, ask students to leaf
through it for familiarization.
Show some sections in
different units, such as
Reading and Speaking. Then
read the unit title and discuss
the pictures with the whole
class, leading students to
identify what all the images
have in common (they are
all pictures of activities that
contribute to learning a
foreign language). Point to the
pictures one at a time and ask:
What is she / he doing?

Self-assessment
Designed to develop the
learners’ responsibility for
their own learning, in this
section students are led
to become aware of their
strengths and weaknesses in
order to foster self-reflection
on the learning process. By
identifying their weaknesses,
students can ask for help
from a classmate, redo
some activities, focus on
the activities of the Review
sections, refer to the Grammar
Reference or perform the
Workbook activities. Ideally,
students always have a sense
of success or the desire to get
it, and thus they devote more
effort to learning. Successful
learning experiences are the
driving force for the desire to
learn more and better.

These activities are not only
meant to be performed at the

activity to introduce, review
or elicit from students some
verbs and phrases related to
routines, for example: have
breakfast/lunch/dinner/
a snack, take a shower, go

Reading
Activity 1 and Looking at
the Text
Direct students’ attention to
the text and ask if they know
anything about the city of
Mumbai in India (for example,
where it is, what language
is spoken there, etc.). After
checking the activity, ask them
to observe the characteristics
of the text and read the box
with the whole class. Ask
students in which contexts
they normally find graphs.

Note: Mumbai, a port city


located in Southwest India,
was known as Bombay until
1995. It was an English colony
until it became independent
in 1947. It is the commercial
and financial hub of India
and one of the most populous
cities of the world. Many
foreign languages and almost
all Indian languages can be
heard in Mumbai. Marathi
is the official language and
also the most widely used,
followed by Gujarati, Hindi
and Bengali (Bangla). Other
languages spoken in Mumbai
are Pashtu, Arabic, Chinese,
English and Urdu. Remember
that India is one of the BRICS,
an economic group of five
countries that includes Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South
Africa.

Activity 2
Ask students to read items a–e. Ask them to
underline the words they recognize (including
cognates) as they read the text. After checking
answers, clarify vocabulary doubts they may
still have.

Places in town

Starting out
If students live in a small
town, ask them to try and
remember any visits they
may have made to a large
city or any information they
may have about the typical
problems of large cities.

They may mention, amongst


other things, safety or
problems they might have had
with transportation. Check
which forms of transportation
they already know. Provide
the name of some they do
not know. If convenient,
encourage students to go
through the unit to see if they
can find words related to
transport. This activity may be
done as a competition to see
how many words students can
find within the context of the
unit’s activities.

Unit aims
• Read and understand a city map and a web page
about an attraction in Melbourne.
• Recognize and use vocabulary related to places
in a city and means of transportation.
• Learn and practice prepositions of place.
• Listen to an audio tour.
• Do a survey on how people move around.

of main landmarks.

Note: The official site of the


city of Melbourne includes an
interactive map. Available at:
<http://maps.melbourne.vic.
gov.au/index.html> (Accessed
in November 2018.). The map
allows research into different
landmarks, such as schools,
libraries, public and private
hospitals, police stations
and parks, amongst others.
If possible, have students
explore the map or suggest
them doing the task as
homework.

that runs on metal tracks in the
street and is used for public
transportation. They are still
found in many parts of the
world, such as Europe, China
and the USA.

Activity 6
Organize students into groups
of four or five. Ask them to list
the main tourist landmarks
in the city or region where
they live. Then do the same
exercise with the whole class

the board. Ask each group to
choose a different landmark
and give a brief description of
it (what it is, where it is, why
it is important, etc.). Monitor
and help as necessary. For
homework, ask students
to create a poster or a
presentation with photos and
descriptions to share it with
the whole class.

Interpreting images in this

Starting out
Before discussing the
questions, ask students if
they know the names of any
stars (for example, Sirius,
Canopus, Vega, etc.) and if
they know the constellation
Crux (Southern Cross), which
is important in identifying the
points of the compass.

Ask students if they know the

are, in order of their distance
from the Sun, Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune.

Note: There is controversy in


the scientific community about
the classification of Pluto as a
planet. In 2006, the International
Astronomy Union stopped
considering Pluto a planet due
to its characteristics of size
and orbit, and classified it as a
dwarf planet. Then, in 2014, the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center
for Astrophysics (CfA), in the
USA, reopened the debate and
determined that Pluto should
indeed be considered the ninth
planet in our solar system.

Note: Albert Einstein


(1879–1955), mentioned in
Activity 2, was a famous
German physicist who
developed and proposed
the Theory of Relativity,
transforming not only physics
and science in general, but
the whole of human thinking.
Winner of the Nobel Prize
for Physics in 1921, Einstein
published a large number
of papers, including “Why
War?” (1933) with Sigmund
Freud; “The World As I See
It” (1949); and “My Final
Years” (1950). His research
and books stimulated learning
and led to a wider and
deeper understanding of the
Universe. In 2015, in a safe in
the Colégio Anchieta in Porto
Alegre, South Brazil, a signed
photo and letter were found,
proven to be authentic and
written by Einstein, addressed
to students. The message,
written in German, says,
“Those who have known the
joy of understanding have made an infallible friend
for life. Thinking is to man as flying is to birds.
Do not take the hen as an example when you can
be a lark.” The letter and photo are on display in
the school’s museum.

its surface area of 32 km2, it
is also considered the largest
freshwater lake in the world,
containing hundreds of species
of animals.

Students may ask about the


difference between a lake and
a lagoon.
• Lakes are large and deep
bodies of water that are
surrounded by land on all
sides, with no connection
to the sea. Lakes normally
have fresh water, but
there are some important
saltwater lakes, for
example, the Dead Sea.
• Lagoons are shallow
bodies of water, normally
circular and small. There
are, however, lagoons that
are larger than many lakes,
for example, the Curonian
Lagoon (1,619 km2).
If appropriate, you can suggest
students undertaking a short
study, individually or in groups,
on lakes and lagoons in their
country or region.

Self-assessment
Designed to develop the
learners’ responsibility for
their own learning, in this
section students are led
to become aware of their
strengths and weaknesses in
order to foster self-reflection
on the learning process. By
identifying their weaknesses,
students can ask for help
from a classmate, redo
some activities, focus on
the activities of the Review
sections, refer to the Grammar
Reference or perform the
Workbook activities. Ideally,
students always have a sense
of success or the desire to get
it, and thus they devote more
effort to learning. Successful
learning experiences are the
driving force for the desire to
learn more and better.

Having Fun!
These activities are not only
meant to be performed at the
end of the unit; they can be
done at the beginning or at
the end of a class, or during
a lesson as a moment of
relaxation.

imagine they are related to


the content of the unit. Even
though students may only
have heard of these people or
may not even know of them,
activate their prior knowledge
through questions and
comments in relation to the
historical importance of these
personalities.

Here is some information


about the people presented:
• Ruby Bridges: Born in 1954,
she was the first African-
American child to go to
public school in the United
States. Ruby was six years
old and was escorted daily
by her mother and federal
agents, who feared for her
safety due to countless
protests. Students will have
the opportunity to learn
more about Ruby Bridges
in the Reading (page 87) and
Listening (page 91) sections.
• Rosa Parks (1913–2005):
Rosa Parks went to jail
for refusing to give up
her seat on a bus to a
white passenger. Her act
led to a boycott called
the Montgomery Bus
Boycott and other acts with
the clear aim of ending
segregation. Students will
have the opportunity to
read an interview with her in Activity 4 of the
Unit aims Grammar section (page 89).

Reading
Activity 1
Organize students into pairs.
Some of them probably do not
know who Martin Luther King
Jr. was, but the goal is that
they use their knowledge of
the world to choose the most
coherent options.
Activity 2
Ask students to read the
text quickly just to confirm
their answers in the previous
activity. Try not to clarify
vocabulary doubts at this
stage, but rather encourage
students to concentrate only
on the requested information.
Activity 3
Read the instructions with
the whole class and draw
students’ attention to the sentences next to the
boxes. After checking, clarify any vocabulary doubts.
Alternatively, you can choose some words that you
believe students do not know and try to elicit the
meaning of these words from the context given.

100

www.frenglish.ru
UNIT 8

Activity 6
Do the activity with the whole
class, encouraging students
to highlight any words they
already know and to deduce
the meaning of any unknown
words.

Activity 7
It is interesting to consider
and discuss small attitudes
that can go unnoticed,
but which may reveal
discriminatory behavior,
such as certain jokes and
expressions which are
common but in fact extremely
racist. Take this opportunity
to discuss the importance of
respecting people in general,
without discriminating due to
skin color, origin, social class,
religion, sexual orientation,
etc. If possible, mention the
fact that black people are still
a minority in strategic
positions of power or
prestigious roles in society.
If appropriate, you can clarify
the meaning of prejudice and
discrimination.

Activity 4
Students can do the activity individually and then
compare their answers with those of a classmate. Answers

example, Who are the men next to the girl?, Why

the discussion at this point, because this historical
fact will be revisited in the Listening section, in
which students will hear a description of the scene
in which she is accompanied by federal officers.

Grammar
Activity 1
Draw students’ attention to
the photo and ask what they
remember or know about
Nelson Mandela. Write the
students’ ideas on the board
in the form of notes. Ask
students to read and identify if
some of the information they
gave is mentioned in the text.
Then read the instructions to
the whole class and ask them
to do the task individually.

Understanding Language
After doing the activity and
checking answers with the
whole class, propose a lottery.
Ask students to draw three
columns, with 14 lines each. In
the first line of each column,
they should write /t/, /d/ and
/Id/. Meanwhile, select and
write down 13 regular verbs
that have appeared in the unit
or have been mentioned by
students. Dictate the verbs
one by one. Students should
mark an X in the column
corresponding to the sound
of the verb in the past tense.
Tell students they do not need
to write the verb, only focus
on the sound. Check answers
with the whole class.

Another possible activity:


With students’ help, select
irregular verbs that appeared in the unit and write
the infinitive forms on the board. Ask students to
draw a bingo card in their notebooks, with three
columns and three rows. Ask them to choose nine
verbs at random from the board and write them
in the past form on their bingo cards, one verb
per square. Call out the verbs in the infinitive. The
winner is the student who first checks off all the
verbs on his/her card.

Note: you can also organize students into groups


of five or six for this activity. A student calls out the
verbs and the others check them off on their bingo
cards.

and Rosa Parks on the board.
Ask students what they know
or remember about each of
these characters. Read the
instructions with the whole
class and ask them to do the
activity individually.

Understanding Language
Do the first item in the activity
with the whole class. Then ask
them to complete the other
items individually or in pairs.
Check the activity with the
whole class. Ask students to
write two sentences about
them and two sentences about
a friend or family member,
including dates and the
corresponding prepositions.
Have some students share
their answers with the whole
class and write the sentences
on the board.

Activity 2
Draw students’ attention to
the pictures. Ask if they know
these people and, if so, what
they know about them. Ask
students what they think the
texts are about.

Have students read the text


before completing it with
prepositions, to confirm their predictions.
Then ask them to complete the text with the
prepositions on or in and check the answers
with the whole class.

Activity 6
Encourage students to reflect
on what was discussed about
discrimination in the unit
and draw a parallel with the
presented picture. Expand
the discussion by asking
students what they think each
individual can do to combat
any kind of discrimination. If
appropriate, talk to students
about the importance of
knowing about and discussing
historical facts, with a view to
raising awareness of equality
and respect for all ethnic
groups, peoples, social classes,
etc. For example, mention the
importance of using respectful
language, avoiding nicknames
and inappropriate terms that
may hurt others’ feelings, and
treating all classmates with
respect and equality. Even
the history or social sciences
teacher may be invited to
support the discussion.

Activity 1
If students find it difficult to
complete the paragraph on
their own, you can help them
by writing the first letter of
each word (r, c, f). You can add
letters until students arrive at
the correct words.

Activity 2
Read the step-by-step
instructions with the whole
class and clarify any doubts
students may have. You can
ask them to do this activity
at home, since students
will probably need time
and resources to do their
research. Tell students it is not
necessary to choose a famous
character, but just somebody
that they admire.

Activity 3
If appropriate, you can
organize students into small
groups instead of pairs, so
they can exchange ideas about
more texts.

Activity 4
Read the step-by-step
instructions to the class.
If appropriate, follow these
suggestions:

I. The activity can be


performed in small
groups or with the whole
class. Generally, students
feel more comfortable
when speaking in
small groups. This also
prevents the activity from
becoming repetitive and
the class losing interest.
II. If necessary, have
students practice in pairs
before presenting their
descriptions to classmates.
Ask students to review and
check the information they
wish to present.
III. They can also write
some short sentences
that remind them of what
to say.
IV. Help students with form
and pronunciation of the
verbs they will use in the
description.
V. Give some examples of
questions students can
ask to guess who the
famous person is: What
does/did he/she do for a
living?, Where was he/she
born?, What is/was he/she
