INTRODUÇÃO

O Caderno de Apoio ao Professor pretende assumir-se como uma ferramenta indispensável no dia-a-dia de programação e concretização das aulas de língua inglesa. Deste modo, optou-se por dividir este documento em partes distintas: 1. Planificação do processo de ensino-aprendizagem Nesta secção, optou-se por incluir diversas planificações que pretendem dar resposta às necessidades distintas dos professores: • Planificação anual A proposta de planificação anual apresentada pelo projecto Profile contém a indicação das competências/tarefas e conteúdos linguísticos e temáticos a desenvolver em cada unidade. As unidades encontram-se distribuídas no tempo, tendo-se igualmente integrado a celebração de algumas festividades, bem como o projecto de leitura a partir da short-story Betting on Friendship. Paralelamente, esta planificação a longo prazo enumera as estratégias, os instrumentos e o tipo de avaliação a desenvolver ao longo do ano. Tentou-se apresentar uma proposta de planificação o mais completa possível e adequada às orientações programáticas e ao Currículo Nacional do Ensino Básico, para que o professor a possa utilizar, não só para planificar as suas aulas, mas também em sede de Projecto Curricular de Turma. • Planificação a médio prazo Optou-se por incluir um exemplo de planificação de unidade (Unidade 0), estando as restantes disponíveis online, na Área Exclusiva do Professor, no início do ano lectivo. Nestas, para além de se descriminarem as competências dominantes a desenvolver em cada situação, as tarefas, os projectos, os conteúdos, as formas sociais de trabalho, os materiais e a avaliação, procurou-se integrar as diversas valências do projecto, tais como: transparências, Portfolio, CDs áudio, DVD, Workbook e Leitura Extensiva. • Planificação a curto prazo – Aulas de substituição Em consequência das recentes alterações decorrentes da revisão do Estatuto da Carreira Docente, entre outros, constitui um dever do professor entregar um plano de aula no Conselho Executivo sempre que pretende faltar. Esta obrigatoriedade é, por vezes, constrangedora, face às inúmeras solicitações a que o professor tem de responder, por um lado, e, por outro, ao desconhecimento de quem o irá substituir. Perante estas dificuldades, o Profile apresenta propostas para dez planificações de aulas de substituição, tendo-se optado por apresentar duas por unidade, ou seja, uma por cada área temática abordada em cada unidade. Estas planificações, para além de descreverem os pressupostos (com indicação do ponto de situação da turma) encontram-se pensadas para aulas de 90 minutos, com indicação de uma tarefa específica a desenvolver e dos diversos passos para a sua concretização. Paralelamente, sempre que necessário, criaram-se duas situações: – Situação A – quando o professor substituto também lecciona Inglês; – Situação B – quando o professor substituto não lecciona Inglês. As planificações são descritivas e com a indicação de todos os passos e materiais a utilizar.

PROFILE – INGLÊS – 8. o ANO

2 . Concretização do processo ensino-aprendizagem Nesta secção, incluem-se: • sugestões e orientações metodológicas diversas, para além das já fornecidas no Manual do Professor; • actividades complementares; • guiões de trabalho de projecto; • guiões de trabalho referentes à Leitura Extensiva Betting on Friendship; • guiões de trabalho referentes ao DVD; • guião de utilização das transparências; • tapescripts, quer dos CDs áudio, quer do DVD. 3. Regulação do processo ensino-aprendizagem Esta secção contém duas ordens de documentos: • Testes de avaliação Inclui-se dois por unidade, sendo o teste A sempre mais fácil, isto é, destinado a alunos com adaptações curriculares ou currículo próprio com condições especiais de avaliação, e o teste B com exercícios com um grau de dificuldade adequado ao nível de aprendizagem do aluno médio. Inclui-se, também, nos testes, a componente de compreensão do oral – Listening – uma vez por período. Nestes casos, o professor poderá ler o texto em voz alta, ou utilizar o CD do professor para o efeito. • My Class Portfolio Pretende ser um instrumento valioso para o professor, ajudando-o a planificar e a regular o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Neste sentido, é composto por: – uma série de grelhas de registo simples e eficazes de cada um dos documentos preenchidos pelo aluno, permitindo o acesso ao retrato fiel da sua turma, sempre actualizado; – documentos de apoio à regulação dos alunos e agilização de processos; – grelha de controlo dos trabalhos de projecto; – grelha de observação periódica por competências transversais e específicas; – matriz base para os testes de avaliação; – grelha de correcção de testes de avaliação; – gráfico de resultados obtidos. Tendo em conta a complexidade de todo o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, esperamos que o professor encontre neste Caderno de Apoio um verdadeiro suporte para a sua prática lectiva. As autoras

O PROJECTO PROFILE

1. Manual O Profile é composto por cinco Files (unidades) incidentes sobre temáticas específicas – férias e regresso às aulas; tempos livres e novas tecnologias; hábitos alimentares; moda e mass media. O primeiro File – Reloading File – tal como o próprio nome indica, visa (re)ambientar o aluno no processo de aprendizagem da língua inglesa, servindo, igualmente, para fazer o diagnóstico da turma nos diversos domínios. Nesta medida, optou-se por lhe dar a designação de 0. Cada File, por sua vez, encontra-se organizado por competências.

Comprehension File Integra uma multiplicidade de tipologias de textos autênticos, provenientes de fontes diversificadas e de diferentes universos de expressão inglesa, com temáticas actuais, adequadas ao Programa, aos interesses dos vários tipos de alunos e ao seu nível etário. Nesta medida, esta abordagem pedagógica integra sempre três momentos: • Preparação, isto é, actividades de pre-reading ou pre-listening, que permitem aos alunos mobilizar as competências e conhecimentos prévios ao nível cognitivo, linguístico, discursivo e sociocultural, pertinentes para a tarefa a realizar. • Desenvolvimento, isto é, actividades de reading ou listening, que permitem a utilização contextualizada das competências e dos conhecimentos activados previamente. • Avaliação, isto é, actividades de post-reading ou post-listening, que permitem a regulação dos processos de interpretação de texto.

Interaction File A especificidade da competência de interacção foi, durante muito tempo, ignorada no contexto do ensino/aprendizagem da Língua Estrangeira. Interagir verbalmente com o outro pressupõe conhecer e respeitar regras básicas de comunicação, por vezes comuns às da língua materna, mas condicionadas pela especificidade das características discursivas, bem como pelas convenções socioculturais da língua em estudo. Neste âmbito, esta competência assume particular relevo, dado que o discurso que se produz em interacção decorre de uma co-construção de parceiros em comunicação, cujo sucesso depende da sua capacidade de cooperação, assente em valores como partilha e negociação (conversas, entrevistas, role plays, cartas, postais, e-mails, bilhetes, formulários, entre outros).

Production File O Profile introduz as actividades de escrita e de fala de forma gradual e contextualizada, procurando que o aluno desenvolva a competência de produzir (escrever/falar) correcta e adequadamente, em paralelo com a competência de compreender (ouvir/ver/ler). Promove, desta forma, a par de uma progressão integrada das competências, uma pedagogia da escrita e da fala, através da qual o aluno desenvolverá estratégias pessoais de comunicação que lhes permitirão produzir textos adequados. As actividades de revisão e avaliação são, assim, essenciais para o desenvolvimento desta 4

competência, exigindo uma releitura e uma avaliação em função da situação e da coerência/coesão semântica e linguística. Esta fase é realizada individualmente ou em grupo, com a ajuda de grelhas e de pistas constantes no My English Portfolio, sob a supervisão do professor.

Ability to Learn 1. Language Study File Esta rubrica tem como finalidade levar o aprendente a tomar consciência de que a língua é um conjunto estruturado com vários planos interdependentes: intenções de comunicação, marcas morfológicas e sintácticas e léxico, entre outros, pelo que o Language Study File integra: • A gramática, orientada para auxiliar o aluno a comunicar em inglês, quer oralmente, quer por escrito, sendo desenvolvida em diversas etapas: a) Etapa de observação e sensibilização, em que o aluno toma contacto com a estrutura em contexto. b) Etapa de treino e formulação de regras provisórias, em que o aluno é levado a aperceber-se, através de exercícios sistemáticos, dos usos da estrutura em análise. c) Etapa de estruturação, em que, através da criação de momentos de reflexão propiciadores de hábitos de análise do funcionamento da língua, o aluno toma consciência da regra. d) Etapa da síntese/avaliação, em que o aluno é levado a integrar a estrutura em actividades de gramática e de produção. Paralelamente à aplicação da denominada pedagogia da descoberta, o Profile pretende, ainda, fomentar hábitos de consulta de gramáticas, através de remissões constantes para o Grammar File que surge no Portfolio. • O vocabulário, componente fundamental na aprendizagem de uma língua, na medida em que a sua aquisição e memorização condiciona, de alguma forma, o sucesso da comunicação. Para que o aluno compreenda que as palavras não aparecem isoladas, o Profile apresenta o vocabulário novo em núcleos contextualizados, que vão sendo progressivamente alargados. Desta forma, recorre-se a várias técnicas para transmitir o significado das palavras novas: • Clarificação do significado através de imagens e de desenhos do próprio objecto. • Sinonímia e antonímia. • Definição simples. • Tradução. • As funções da linguagem, que se inserem em situações de comunicação, privilegiando-se a interacção, de forma a desenvolver no aluno uma competência pragmática em Língua Estrangeira. A progressão na aprendizagem do Inglês organiza-se, assim, no sentido de construir uma competência discursiva elementar, articulando as funções da linguagem com os vários géneros textuais.

2. Leisure File Trata-se de uma rubrica com uma dupla finalidade. Por um lado, pretende tornar o processo de aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa mais motivante e, por outro, pretende, de forma lúdica, actuar em áreas consideradas importantes no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, como por exemplo: • A articulação dos saberes de forma autónoma. • O reforço da atenção/concentração. • A promoção de actividades de pesquisa, entre outras. No final de cada unidade, surge sempre um jogo, “The Strongest Group”, que tem como objectivo levar o aluno a reflectir sobre a sua aprendizagem e a preparar-se para os testes.

3. Fact File O ensino da língua não pode ser dissociado dos aspectos socioculturais que caracterizam e organizam qualquer situação de comunicação. Nesta medida, o Profile inclui pequenos Fact Files sobre aspectos socioculturais relevantes para a temática em estudo, sendo estes apresentados de forma simples e agradável, seguidos de uma pequena actividade lúdica. No desenvolvimento desta competência específica, saber aprender, o Profile apresenta uma série de recursos que pretendem contribuir para que o aluno desenvolva estratégias de:

Leisure activities in the UK and in the USA 1. How do British people spend their free time?

In Britain people enjoy various indoor and outdoor activities. According to a recent Eurostat survey, the EU statistical office, these are their most popular leisure activities:

Other popular leisure activities are listening to the radio, listening to pre-recorded music, reading, DIY (Do It Yourself), gardening, eating out and going to the cinema. 2. What sports are done in England?

Sport plays an important part in the life of the English and is a popular leisure activity. Many of the world’s famous sports began in England, including cricket, football, tennis and rugby. Football is the most popular sport. Some of England’s football teams are world famous, the most famous being Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and more recently, Chelsea.

• Cricket is England’s national sport. It is played on village greens on Sundays from April to August.

• Scotland is traditionally regarded as the home of golf. There are over 400 golf courses in Scotland alone.

• The world’s most famous tennis tournament is Wimbledon. It is traditional for visitors to eat strawberries and cream while they watch the tennis match.

• Netball is the largest female team sport in England. The sport is played almost exclusively by women and girls, although male participation has increased in recent years.

• Horse racing is a ver y popular sport with races being held every day throughout the year.

• Polo was brought to Britain from India in the 19th century by army officers. It is the fastest ball sport in the world.

• Badminton was named after the Duke of Beaufort’s country home, Badminton House, where the sport was first played in the 19th century.

• In the 19th century, students at Oxford and Cambridge, Britain’s two oldest universities, agreed to hold a race against each other for the first time on the Thames River: the University Boat Race. The Oxford boat won and a tradition was born.

LEISURE FILE

O Profile, no final de cada unidade, propõe a realização de um projecto capaz de mobilizar todas as aprendizagens efectuadas, pelo que a proposta efectuada é dinâmica e adequada a cada aluno. São apresentadas três propostas, num fluxograma de decisão, cabendo ao aluno, com o auxílio do professor, a escolha do projecto que melhor se adequa ao seu perfil, a partir das decisões tomadas nos diversos patamares do fluxograma. Paralelamente, existe, ainda, uma quarta possibilidade, “Your own suggestion“, em que o aluno poderá construir o seu próprio guião de trabalho de projecto. Os projectos A e B são pensados para alunos com um bom desempenho linguístico e cujo percurso de aprendizagem caminha no sentido da autonomia. O projecto C é menos ambicioso, mas igualmente integrador. De qualquer forma, dado que as preferências dos alunos, em termos dos seus interesses, condicionam as suas escolhas, será interessante a formação heterogénea dos grupos e a observação da dinâmica a empreender. Após a tomada de decisão, alunos e professor podem escrever os nomes dos elementos de cada grupo neste File. A planificação de cada projecto e respectiva grelha de avaliação encontra-se no My English Portfolio e no My Class Portfolio para alunos e professor, respectivamente. Ability to Learn

5. Self-Check File Surge no final de cada unidade, oferecendo um conjunto de exercícios incidentes sobre Language Study que o aluno pode realizar de forma autónoma, a fim de tomar consciência das componentes que ainda precisa de melhorar. Neste âmbito, atribui-se uma cotação a cada questão, sendo o score final indicador da situação do aluno, em termos de Language Study.

2. Workbook O Workbook visa consolidar os conhecimentos dos alunos acerca da Língua Inglesa e, simultaneamente, desenvolver a sua autonomia enquanto aprendentes. As actividades propostas estão directamente ligadas aos cinco Files que estruturam o Manual, sendo a abordagem preconizada dirigida para a resolução de dificuldades de aprendizagem. Por outras palavras, procura-se, através da apresentação de diversos Improving Files, responder a problemas de aprendizagem, tanto ao nível do saber, como do saber-fazer comunicativo e estratégico. Desta forma, no final de cada tarefa e unidade, o aluno é levado a reflectir, no Portfolio, sobre as suas dificuldades, optando pelo Improving File do Workbook condizente. As actividades, por sua vez, encontram-se estruturadas em dois níveis de dificuldade. Esta gestão favorece práticas de pedagogia diferenciada e assenta na negociação das tarefas, estando a orientação do professor subordinada às necessidades efectivas dos alunos, ajudando-os a seleccionar, entre os diversos Improving Files, o que melhor se lhe adequa para a consolidação das aprendizagens.

3. Leitura Extensiva – Betting on Friendship O Profile propõe a realização de um reading project a partir da leitura da short story, que incidirá essencialmente sobre a temática abordada no leisure file, podendo o professor optar por seleccionar as actividades mais pertinentes nesta unidades e explorá-la a partir da Leitura Extensiva. Para o ajudar nessa tarefa, Profile propõe guiões de trabalho de exploração da Leitura Extensiva, adequados às necessidades e interesses dos alunos. ©2007

4. My English Portfolio Para que o aluno desenvolva hábitos de intervenção consciente no seu processo de aprendizagem, designadamente estratégias pessoais de auto-avaliação, o Profile concebeu o My English Portfolio, que aposta na promoção da autonomização do aluno como condição indispensável para a obtenção de sucesso nas suas aprendizagens linguísticas. Trata-se de um dispositivo formador que, ao levar o aluno a uma reflexão sistemática sobre o seu percurso de aprendizagem, lhe permite: • Registar as suas experiências de âmbito linguístico mais relevantes, vividas em contexto escolar ou fora dele. • Planificar o seu estudo e modos de aprendizagem. • Descobrir potencialidades e fragilidades e aprender a superá-las. • Auto-analisar criticamente o seu nível de desempenho linguístico e estabelecer novas metas de aprendizagem. • Seleccionar diversos trabalhos representativos do seu percurso de aprendizagem. Neste âmbito, o My English Portfolio encontra-se, também, dividido em Files: Indicações

Secções

Passport File

Itens que o aluno deve preencher no início do ano e que servirão de base para a análise do perfil da turma, a ser utilizado para a construção do Projecto Curricular de Turma.

Learning File

Itens que o aluno deve preencher ao longo da abordagem das diferentes unidades.

Portrait File

Saved Files: Trabalhos seleccionados pelo aluno com o auxílio do professor. O número de trabalhos deve ser alvo de negociação entre o professor e os alunos. Deleted Files: Trabalhos que o aluno não considera representativos do seu desempenho.

Fun File

File que integra pelo menos dois jogos por unidade, tendo estes a função de aprofundar conhecimentos culturais, linguísticos e/ou cívicos acerca das temáticas abordadas. Desta forma, os alunos poderão aprender brincando, de forma autónoma ou na aula, consoante a indicação do professor. Separata que procura dar resposta às necessidades do aluno, em termos de funcionamento da língua. Nesta medida, encontra-se dividido em:

Language File

My Mistakes File

©2007

• Grammar File que visa: • Apoiar e esclarecer as dúvidas do aluno acerca do funcionamento da língua. • Permitir a descodificação da linguagem gramatical e favorecer a aplicação ou a transposição das estruturas em situações de comunicação. • Vocabulary File, em que os alunos são levados a pesquisar, no Manual, dicionário ou outros recursos, o significado dos vocábulos que se encontram agrupados por temáticas, construindo o seu glossário. O Vocabulary File tem como propósito ajudar os alunos a: • Organizar o seu vocabulário em contextos significativos. • Praticar, aprender e memorizar o vocabulário. • Utilizar dicionários. • File que permite que os erros cometidos pelo aluno, ao longo da unidade, sejam utilizados como fonte de aprendizagem, levando-o a reflectir sobre as suas produções e a desenvolver a capacidade de correcção, na crença de que uma correcta pedagogia do erro constitui um importante contributo para reduzir os possíveis factores de inibição dos aprendentes.


5. Caderno de Apoio ao Professor

(Ver introdução).

6. CD Áudio do aluno e CD Áudio do professor Deste projecto fazem parte dois CDs áudio, um para o aluno e outro para o professor. Foram incluídos, nestes CDs, todo o material auditivo para exercícios de Listening, assim como outros materiais que se consideram úteis, promovendo, por um lado, a autonomia do aluno na sua aprendizagem da língua inglesa e, por outro, tornando a leitura dos textos mais motivante com este complemento auditivo. O CD Áudio do professor inclui uma selecção dos materiais áudio utilizados no Manual para a realização de actividades de Listening, uma selecção de textos do Manual e os textos para realizar os testes de Listening. Do CD Áudio do aluno consta apenas uma selecção mais restrita desses mesmos materiais, que o aluno poderá utilizar para desenvolvimento das suas competências num crescendo de autonomia, e a leitura integral da obra de Leitura Extensiva.

7. DVD Composto por três episódios da série That’s Me e dois da série Eat it, estes cinco episódios descrevem o dia-a-dia de três jovens adolescentes que vivem em três regiões diferentes do Reino Unido: o Graham (que habita na Escócia), a Naela (que habita em Bristol, na Inglaterra) e o Róisin (que habita na Irlanda). Com durações entre os 3 e os 10 minutos, estes episódios vão ao encontro dos temas do Programa, constituindo-se como uma excelente ferramenta no ensino da língua inglesa. Poderão ser acompanhados pelas sugestões de exploração que constam neste Caderno de Apoio ao Professor.

8. Transparências O projecto inclui dez transparências, como material complementar, que permitirá abordagens temáticas mais diversificadas e motivantes. As sugestões de exploração deste material também se encontram neste Caderno de Apoio ao Professor.

Neste momento, os alunos estão a abordar a temática da comida, dando-se especial relevância aos elementos culturais: refeições, pratos típicos, entre outros. A componente de educação cívica, no que respeita a hábitos alimentares é também transversal à unidade.

Tarefa

Produção de slogans acerca de hábitos alimentares saudáveis, a partir da reflexão em torno de provérbios

Jogo: Who is going to eat each slice of pizza? a) Os alunos fazem a correspondência entre os bonecos e as fatias de piza, completando, desta forma, os provérbios. b) Preenchimento de uma tabela: os alunos devem escrever os provérbios debaixo de uma das seguintes categorias, tendo em conta o significado dos mesmos:


The importance of eating

Eating habits

Man cannot live by bread alone. A man has to eat to live. Bread is the staff of life. The belly carries the legs. When meat is in, anger is out. A hungry man is an angry man. An empty belly bears nobody.

All griefs with bread are less. Eat to live and not live to eat. Many dishes make many diseases. A belly full of gluttony will never study willingly. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

c) os alunos devem: • tentar traduzir os provérbios, inferindo o seu sentido; • analisar a sua linguagem: trocadilhos, repetição, rimas… 2. Em grupos, os alunos devem produzir slogans sobre hábitos alimentares, que depois de corrigidos, devem ser escritos em tiras de cartolina e afixados na sala. Caso o professor substituto não seja de Inglês, os slogans deverão ser entregues ao professor titular e a sua afixação dar-se-á na aula seguinte.

Neste momento, os alunos estão a abordar a temática dos mass media, dando-se ênfase aos textos jornalísticos e a alguns aspectos gramaticais relevantes, como é o caso do Present Perfect. Consolidação do Present Perfect*

Jogo: a) Os alunos formam grupos de três ou quatro elementos. b) O professor fornece-lhes uma grelha com frases incompletas. O objectivo do jogo é o de ganhar cinco caixas, completando as frases constantes de cada frase utilizando o Present Perfect. Só serão aceites frases gramaticalmente correctas. Sempre que um grupo completa uma caixa, deve por o braço no ar. O professor pedirá a um aluno para ler a frase. Se este não souber a solução, o grupo perderá a vez. c) Cada grupo pode escolher as caixas que entender e quando as completar, impede os restantes grupos de as fazerem. A equipa que acabar primeiro uma frase correcta, joga de novo. d) Os vencedores são o primeiro grupo a completar cinco caixas, ou o grupo que conseguir fazer mais. e) No final do jogo, os alunos registam as frases correctas no quadro e depois no caderno.

2. CONCRETIZAÇÃO DO PROCESSO DE ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM SUGESTÕES METODOLÓGICAS DO MANUAL Esta secção apresenta sugestões metodológicas por unidade, para além das já indicadas no Manual do Professor.

Unidade O – Reloading File (p.10) Tal como o próprio nome indica, esta unidade tem como objectivo, por um lado, activar os conhecimentos dos alunos relativamente às férias, e por outro, encaminhar os alunos no uso autónomo do Manual, mais concretamente das rubricas que são constantes ao longo das cinco unidades. Neste sentido, a unidade encontra-se dividida em duas partes distintas. Uma primeira parte, que incide sobre aspectos sócio-culturais das férias de Verão, e uma segunda sobre o regresso às aulas, onde se aborda as expectativas e a temática das school resolutions. Estas duas partes coincidem com duas tarefas distintas – narração de umas férias de Verão e uma carta dirigida aos próprios alunos (Dear Me), a integrar no Portfolio – para as quais o aluno vai sendo progressivamente preparado, através do desenvolvimento de uma série de actividades linguísticas assentes nas quatro competências específicas da língua. A actividade das páginas 11 e 12 pretende activar e alargar o vocabulário dos alunos relativamente à temática férias, nomeadamente no que diz respeito aos diferentes tipos de férias. Esta elicitação de conhecimentos pode ser acompanhada pela exploração da transparência correspondente. Este alargamento vocabular em torno dos diferentes tipos de férias tornar-se-ia mais interessante, se partisse de um diálogo acerca de uma experiência recente dos próprios alunos. Na actividade B, espera-se que os alunos reflictam acerca de um determinado perfil e identifiquem qual o tipo de férias correspondente. Para completação da actividade, o professor poderá solicitar o preenchimento de uma tabela: Who?

What type?

Where to?

What?

Fact File (p. 29) Esta rubrica está presente em todas as unidades, informando os alunos sobre aspectos socioculturais das culturas inglesa e americana. Neste caso particular, os alunos são confrontados com um gráfico e uma linha do tempo acerca dos locais e tipos de férias dos britânicos ao longo dos tempos.

Unidade 1 – Leisure File (p.30) Esta unidade tem como objectivo, por um lado, activar os conhecimentos dos alunos relativamente às suas actividades de tempos livres e, por outro, relativamente à sua relação com as novas tecnologias. Neste âmbito, para além do esquema síntese da unidade que remete para os temas, tarefas, conteúdos e projectos a desenvolver ao longo da unidade, a actividade da página 31 introduz a temática das leisure activities, levando o aluno a activar, ainda que de forma receptiva (reconhecimento) uma série de actividades de tempos livres contextualizadas num calendário. A componente lúdica da actividade, que se processa através da resolução de anagramas, deve ser explorada, de forma a incentivar a assimilação do vocabulário, que, de algum modo, é facilitada pela sistematização do vocabuláro segundo duas categorias (act. B), indoor activities / outdoor activities. ©2007


29

Leisure File (p. 56) O jogo está pronto a ser iniciado quando o professor tiver todos os cartões na sua posse. O professor faz uma questão a cada grupo e regista no quadro 10 pontos ou 0 pontos, consoante as respostas estejam certas ou erradas. Ganha o grupo que tiver mais pontos. Este deverá ficar encarregue de fazer uma tabela com o nome dos diferentes grupos e dos diferentes Files do Manual, colocando já a pontuação obtida no Leisure File. Os restantes resultados seriam registados aquando da finalização dos respectivos Files. Este quadro deveria ser afixado no English Corner. No final do ano, o grupo mais forte deveria receber um prémio. Fact File (p. 57) Esta rubrica encontra-se dividida em duas partes, uma primeira parte informativa (neste caso particular acerca do modo como os britânicos ocupam os tempos livres) e uma segunda parte, lúdica, sobre os desportos mais populares nos Estados Unidos. Project File (p. 59) No final de cada unidade, surge esta rubrica que pretende levar os alunos, através de um fluxograma de decisão, a escolher o projecto que se adequa mais às suas características enquanto aprendentes. Este deve ser o critério subjacente à formação dos grupos, para o qual têm quatro opções: • Opções A e B: são mais adequadas aos alunos autónomos e com bons conhecimentos da língua inglesa. • Opção C: adequada a alunos com pouca autonomia e dificuldades na língua inglesa. • Opção D: caso os alunos não se identifiquem com nenhuma destas opções, podem escolher uma outra de acordo com as suas preferências. Neste caso particular, a opção A sugere a criação de uma Web page acerca de uma figura do desporto escolhida pelos alunos. Os alunos que seleccionarem esta opção devem, no entanto, ter consciência que essa vai ser a sua opção até ao final do ano, na medida, que a propósito de cada unidade, vão completando a Web page. Este projecto implica, por um lado, pesquisa de informação sobre a figura em causa e conhecimentos de informática para elaboração da Web page, por outro. Para elaborar a Web page, contudo, os alunos devem consultar no Portfolio a study tip “Como criar uma Web page?”. A opção B poderá também implicar facilidade de acesso às novas tecnologias, na medida em que os alunos devem produzir um panfleto sobre as regras de utilização de chat rooms e do telemóvel. Para elaborar este panfleto, os alunos devem consultar no Portfolio a study tip “Como elaborar um panfleto?” Na proposta C, os alunos devem criar um gráfico gigante das actividades de tempos livres da turma. Caso os alunos não se identifiquem com nenhuma destas opções, podem escolher um outro projecto de acordo com as suas preferências. Salienta-se que: • Embora esta rubrica surja no final da unidade, o professor pode encaminhar os alunos para o projecto logo no início da unidade ou após a primeira tarefa da unidade. • O professor encontra sugestões de orientação para fornecer aos alunos no Caderno de Apoio ao Professor. • Os alunos devem ir preenchendo o guião do projecto, que se encontra no Portfolio, etapa a etapa. Por seu turno, o professor deve preencher o quadro síntese dos guiões dos projectos constante do My Class Portfolio. Self-Check File (p. 60) Esta rubrica à semelhança das três anteriores, também surge sempre no final de cada File, tendo como objectivo levar os alunos a rever os conhecimentos de funcionamento da língua apreendidos durante a unidade. Este File tem igualmente um cariz lúdico, na medida em que é proposta uma pontuação. No final da unidade, surge um quadro que remete para a auto-avaliação do aluno, através do recurso ao Portfolio, que deve ser efectuada com auxílio do professor. 30

Unidade 2 – Food File (p. 62) Esta página introdutória informa o aluno sobre as temáticas a abordar, como operacionalizar as competências específicas e quais as tarefas a desenvolver – role-play e Class Recipe Book. A página 63, introduz a temática da identificação de alguns alimentos e sua inserção nas palavras cruzadas.

Fact File (p. 93) São dadas algumas informações culturais sobre pubs, seguindo-se duas actividades, uma em que os alunos têm de descobrir o nome de alguns pubs, através da observação de imagens, e outra em que os alunos observam e analisam dois tipos de menus presentes num pub. Estes menus podem servir de base para um role-play. Project File (p. 95) São dadas três opções de projectos e uma opção D, em que o aluno escolhe o seu próprio projecto. • Projecto A – Completar a Web page acerca de comida típica portuguesa e recolha de receitas. • Projecto B – Elaborar um menu escolar para um mês e panfleto/cartaz com as regras das boas maneiras à mesa. • Projecto C – Preparar um chá inglês: menu, receita, convites e sua concretização.

Unidade 3 – Fashion File (p. 98) Também nesta unidade os alunos deverão ficar preparados para resolver duas grandes tarefas: • Numa primeira parte, os alunos são levados a elaborar uma entrevista a um modelo. • Numa segunda parte, os alunos são levados a elaborar um artigo de opinião acerca de tatuagens em Portugal. A página introdutória serve para verificar quais os conhecimentos de vocabulário sobre esta temática que os alunos já possuem. Caso estes sejam muito reduzidos, o professor deve sugerir que as actividades sejam resolvidas com a ajuda de um dicionário e, posteriormente, relembrar os alunos que devem completar o Vocabulary File da unidade. Poderá ser sugerido o trabalho de pares.

Reported Speech Soccer (p. 114) Este jogo tem como objectivo exercitar e consolidar, de forma lúdica, os conhecimentos dos alunos acerca da estrutura gramatical reported speech. Regras: • A turma deve ser dividida em duas grandes equipas. • O professor deve assumir o papel de árbitro. É o professor que define as regras e disponibiliza os cartões cada vez que os alunos caiem num quadrado colorido do jogo. Para o efeito, deve consultar as actividades complementares neste caderno, fotocopiar os cartões e recortá-los. • O professor atira o dado para o meio campo como se fosse uma bola e dá início ao jogo. • Sempre que cada equipa cai num quadrado colorido, um aluno da equipa oposta lê um cartão. O aluno em jogo deve reportar à professora a frase. Se esta estiver correcta a equipa continua a jogar em direcção à baliza dos seus opositores. Se estiver errada, a equipa retrocede 3 casas na direcção da sua própria baliza e dá a vez aos outros. • Ganha quem marcar golo primeiro na baliza adversária, isto é, quem chegar à baliza e responder correctamente. Fact File (p. 126) Como vem sendo habitual, o Fact File presta sempre informações sobre a unidade temática em causa, neste caso sobre onde ir às compras em Londres. Segue-se uma pequena actividade sob a forma de passatempo, em que os alunos devem fazer corresponder as imagens às respectivas descrições. ©2007

Project File (p. 129) Os três projectos aqui sugeridos são: • Projecto A – Pesquisar na Net peças de roupas, a fim de se criar um catálogo online. • Projecto B – Fazer uma banda desenhada alusiva à história da moda. Este projecto implica, por um lado, pesquisa e tratamento de informação e, por outro, apetência para expressão plástica. • Projecto C – Fazer uma selecção de roupas, alusivas a diferentes épocas, de modelos, de cenário e de música e elaborar convites e a concretização da passagem de modelos. A apresentação do espectáculo deve ser feita em inglês.

Unidade 4 – Media File (p. 132) Nesta unidade, são pedidas três grandes tarefas ao aluno, tantas quanto as áreas temáticas: • painel sobre os prós e contras da televisão; • elaboração de uma notícia; • comercial de rádio. A motivação para esta temática é feita, na primeira parte, através de uma reflexão em torno do conceito. Sugere-se que, previamente, o professor elicite vocabulário através de um associograma acerca da expressão mass media e precise esse conceito com as actividades A e B. Na segunda parte, a cancão introduz a temática da interferência dos mass media na nossa vida. Sugere-se que, para além de os alunos preencherem os espaços em falta, respondam às questões, cantem a canção e façam uma pesquisa sobre o original da canção.

Fact File (p. 153) Este Fact File pretende levar os alunos a comparar dois mass media no Reino Unido e Estados Unidos: televisão e rádio. Há, ainda, uma pequena actividade de vocabulário. Project File (p. 155) Os projectos sugeridos prendem-se os mass media. • Projecto A – Pesquisar informação acerca da série televisiva favorita dos alunos e organização da informação pesquisada na Web page. • Projecto B – Criar um espaço “Notícias da Semana” no CRE. Esta actividade pode ser dinamizada pelo grupo, em interacção com o coordenador do CRE, professor de Português, professor de Inglês e professor de Francês. • Projecto C – Preparar um programa de música para a rádio-escola, a ser posto no ar durante o intervalo.

Festivities File (p. 158) À semelhança do projecto do 7.O ano, os materiais existentes nesta secção do Manual deverão ser utilizados pelo professor quando este achar oportuno, procedendo assim, à selecção do que achar mais adequado aos seus alunos e à sua gestão dos tempos lectivos. Mais uma vez, na impossibilidade de abordar as inúmeras celebrações que ocorrem nos diversos países de língua inglesa, optou-se por seleccionar duas (uma relacionada com a cultura britânica e outra relacionada com a cultura americana) cuja ligação aos conteúdos programáticos do 8.O ano é mais evidente: Thanksgiving e Pancake Day. As actividades propostas são essencialmente lúdicas e práticas, de forma a motivar os alunos e, simultaneamente, fornecer-lhes alguns dados culturais e vocabulário específico. Estas poderão ser complementadas com a transparência n.O 10. Ainda em relação ao Thanksgiving, é apresentado um excerto da canção da Sara Jordan e sugere-se que os alunos a cantem. 32

Tapescript GRAHAM IN INVERNESS GRAHAM (off): Inverness is the most northerly city in the British Isles. It lies in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland amidst some of the most beautiful and dramatic scenery in Britain. There are towering mountains and deep glens. Inverness is at the mouth of the river Ness. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the monster Nessie, who lives up the river in the loch. The city is a great place to live. It has one of the lowest crime rates in Britain. This could be because the people are all really friendly and kind to each other. This may also be the reason that Inverness is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. There are many thousands of people here and many more come every year. GRAHAM: Hi, there! I’m Graham. Do you like my uniform? I have to wear it, because I’m a prefect. This means that I’ve got extra responsibilities and we have to look after the little children. Well, I’m on my way home now. I’ve just finished my higher exam for chemistry. I’m absolutely knackered, because it lasted about three hours. And… I guess I’ll see you at home! GRAHAM: Well, it’s nice to get home and out of my school uniform. Not that it bothers me. It’s just that I feel more comfortable in my normal clothes. ©2007

GRAHAM (off): I really would like a new guitar. However just now I can’t afford one, because my parents give me 50 pounds a month allowance. I have to buy everything with this, so sadly there’s no money left over. MUM: Graham! Time to go! GRAHAM: Yeah! I’m just going Mum, it’ll be two seconds! GRAHAM (off): In the summer holidays I hope to take a job so that I can earn more money, and I finally will be able to buy my new guitar. GRAHAM: Yeah, I’m on my way! GRAHAM IN (off): Just now I’ve got to rush off. I’ve got football training in ten minutes. COACH MacKAY: We’re going to… have a… just a warm up session without the ball, then a warm up session with the ball followed by a practice game. This way… Safe stepping… Go! GRAHAM (off): Well, I’ve not played football for that long, because I used to play more rugby. Now I’m really enjoying my football, though. I think one of the reasons I like it, is because it’s a challenge of a different sport. I also play in a good team with a good coach, and that always makes it more fun. COACH MacKAY: My name is Allan MacKay. I’m deputy head teacher in Millburn Academy, and I also coach the senior football team. The boys mostly play for clubs in the town and enjoy their school football to such a degree that we’ve been very successful this year, second in Highland region. Graham has joined the team late in the season. He’s a very good rugby player and hockey player and this has given him excellent fitness and he’s been a great asset to the team in the second half of the season. GAELIC BOY: /speaking Gaelic/ GAELIC GIRL: /speaking Gaelic/ GAELIC BOY: /speaking Gaelic/ GRAHAM: Hi! How are you? GAELIC GIRL: /speaking Gaelic/ GAELIC BOY: /speaking Gaelic/ GRAHAM: Come on! You both know that I don’t speak Gaelic. What were you saying about me? GAELIC BOY: Sorry, we were just saying how good you were on the field today. GAELIC GIRL: (Yeah, you were…) GRAHAM: That’s very kind of you! I bet it’s not true, though. GAELIC BOY: So, see you tomorrow then? GRAHAM: Oh, I can’t! I’ve got a Youth Voice meeting tomorrow. But I’ll see you on Thursday. GAELIC BOY: OK! Cheerie. GAELIC GIRL: /speaking Gaelic/ GAELIC BOY: /speaking Gaelic/ GAELIC GIRL: /speaking Gaelic/ GAELIC BOY: /speaking Gaelic/ GRAHAM (off): I’m a member of the Highland Youth Voice. Youth Voice is a parliament of 70 young people from throughout the north of Scotland. We meet and we discuss a number of topics. We’ve recently succeeded in producing an alcohol awareness leaflet and a video on the dangers of drugs. Our next project is to develop a card, which will allow young people cheaper transport in the Highlands. We know that we’ll be successful, because we know people listen to us. We have large debates on our website and last month we met the First Minister of Scotland. GRAHAM: He understood that young people would listen better to other young people. And really that’s what Young Voice is all about: It’s by young people, for young people. GRAHAM: Well, I thought I could introduce my family to you. This is Kirsty, she’s 15… KIRSTY: Hey! GRAHAM: …and she’s really still the baby in the family, because of all five of us she’s the smallest. And right here we’ve got my mum, Fiona… MUM: Hi! GRAHAM: …and people say we look like each other, but I’ll let you decide that for yourselves. And this is my dad, David… DAD: Hello! GRAHAM: …and he’s losing his hair even faster than usual at the moment, because in a couple of weeks he’s going to have to teach me how to drive. And he doesn’t seem too happy about the idea of getting in a car with me. And last but not least is Catherine… CATHERINE: Hi! GRAHAM: … who’s 12 years old, and she’s the troublemaker of the family at the minute. And…she’s always got a cheeky smile on her face. MUM: With five of us in the family life is really very busy. Tonight everybody is here helping me in the kitchen prepare the meal. We usually have a rule that if you help to prepare the meal, you don’t have to help clear up. Graham likes to help prepare the meal because

then he can sneak out of the door, and pretend that he’s doing his homework, but really I suspect he’s watching TV. If he doesn’t help me prepare the meal, then he comes and helps to clear up afterwards. GRAHAM: We thought that you might like to listen to some Scottish music. This is a traditional song called ‘Westering Home.’ We don’t play together very often, but I hope you’ll enjoy it all the same. GRAHAM (off): Now I’m going to tell you about some traditional Scottish things, which I think you may be interested in. GRAHAM: As you can see, I’m wearing a different kilt. This is because each family belongs to a clan and the clans have different tartans that they can wear. This is the different tartan, which I was wearing before. This is called the Royal Stewart tartan and is one of the tartans that I can wear for my clan. You might also notice that I’ve changed my sporran. Sporrans are more for decoration than anything else, but you can carry your own money and a wallet and… keys and things like that. Something else that’s part of the Highland dress is the sgian-dubh. This is a knife that you wear in your sock. I would show it to you, but if I drew the blade, then I would have to draw blood because it’s tradition. DAD: I think Scottish traditional music has a lot in common with the whole Celtic music tradition. We particularly like it for dancing and partying. The bagpipes, which I’ve been playing, are very difficult to play with any other instrument. Within the family we do try to play together. Graham still likes playing rock guitar but has surprised himself by finding how easy it is to play in the rhythm backing with us and the family group. GRAHAM (off): Something you might not be so familiar with, though, is the Highland Games. In Inverness we have a large Highland Games over a whole weekend every summer. The Highland Games is an event with a number of sports, dancing and music. GRAHAM: In the future I’d like to go to Newcastle University to study medicine. I’d like to become a doctor. GRAHAM (off): I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about traditional Scottish culture and lifestyles. I also hope that one day you’ll come and visit this wonderful country for yourself.. GRAHAM: Anyway, goodbye for now.

NAELA IN BRISTOL NAELA (off): This is Bristol. It’s a fairly large and busy city… on the Bristol Channel, not far from Wales. The suspension bridge is famous and so is the old cathedral. We live in a mixed area not far from the city centre. I like my area very much and I’ve lived here for nearly ten years now, and the people here are so nice and friendly. NAELA: Hello! I’m Naela and I’m here today at the Climbing Centre near to where I live. This used to be a church but eleven years ago it was sold and converted into the Climbing Centre. Today it has over 40 000 members, and people from just about everywhere come here to climb. I’m a beginner but I’m here today to practise my climbing. INSTRUCTOR: Right. Go up! NAELA: No, I can’t go any further up. INSTRUCTOR: Yeah! Hold on… NAELA: No, I can’t. INSTRUCTOR: That’s it! You can! Stand up… Go off… Now you climb down. See? Just keep leaning back… And there you go… Tough? NAELA: Horrible! INSTRUCTOR: See how much easier that was? NAELA (off): We are a family of four: my mum, my two sisters and myself. My mum’s called Anna and is very caring. My sister Lanie is an angel and so is my little sister Daisy. We get along very well and love each other very much. You might wonder about our names, Naela and Lanie. They’re very unusual. They’re actually made up from my parents’ names, Anna and Larrie. NAELA: How small were they when you first saw them? DAISY: They were about… that big! NAELA (off): I am dyslexic, which means I have great trouble in learning to read and write. NAELA: It was very hard for me at school as a young child, because everyone else was learning so fast, and I got left behind. When my mum told me she wanted me to go to a special school for dyslexic children, I was sad to leave my friends and the school I was used to. But I thought it might help me and make everything easier and that was good. I really liked the dyslexia school because everyone around me had the same problem as me, and so I felt comfortable and I wasn’t afraid to ask for help. Now everything is much easier for me. I keep a diary every day, I write poetry and sometimes my own stories. I also help my sister Lanie with her homework because she is also dyslexic. NAELA: Did you have a good day at school today, Lanie? LANIE: Yeah. NAELA: What did you do? LANIE: Religious Education and Geography.

©2007


63

NAELA: And which one is your favourite? LANIE: Religious Education. NAELA: Why? LANIE: Because Geography is boring and we haven’t got a very nice teacher. NAELA: So what did you do in Geography? LANIE: At he moment we’re doing things about Bristol. NAELA: And? LANIE: We’re doing interesting facts on it and… and doing…ummm…that we’re famous for fish and chips and something about sticks and stones in the environment. LANIE: How do you spell ‘could’? NAELA: Oh, you know! It’s… ‘C-O-U-Lucky Duck.’ LANIE: ‘C-O-U-Lucky Duck’! That’s a good one! And how do you spell ‘because’? NAELA: ‘Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants.’ LANIE: ‘Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants.’ NAELA: Yeah! LANIE: It’s a good rhyme! NAELA: It’s a good way of remembering it. LANIE: We… We learned one at the school today. It goes: ‘If it ends with Y replace it with an I and add… [clap-clap] …E-S.’ NAELA: Oh, that’s good! ‘If it ends with Y replace it with an I and add… [clap-clap] …E-S.’ LANIE: Yeah! ‘If it ends with… NAELA AND LANIE: …Y replace it with an I and… [clap-clap] E-S.’ ‘If it ends with Y replace it with an I…’ NAELA: Hello! These are my best friends. This is Hazel. HAZEL: Hello! NAELA: This is Sean. SEAN: Hi! NAELA: This is Kai. KAI: Hi ya! NAELA: And this is Freya. FREYA: Hey! NAELA: We go shopping, we hang out and we have a lot of fun. EVERYONE: Yeah…! Yeah…! NAELA: Look at the little bin! THE OTHERS: Beauty! NAELA (off): Money is always a problem for me. My pocket money is gone long before I get it so I can really only afford window-shopping. HAZEL: So what are you guys doing for your summer holidays? KAI: I’m going down to Cornwall for two weeks with Sean and my other friend, Tasha, and we’re going to be like surfing and probably just go out to the beaches and stuff, which will be quite cool. NAELA: Oh, you lucky thing! KAI: Yeah! What are you doing? NAELA: I might be going on a girlie holiday with my friends to Spain or Metropolis or whatever it’s called. KAI: Who’re you going with? NAELA: My friends from college and they’re 16, 17… and there’s four of them… Oh, no, five of us! Yes! I don’t know… FREYA: You’re so lucky! NAELA: One of my main interests is interior design. I also help my mum plan the renovation of our house. The kitchen is ready and I am now finishing plans for my new room. It’s hard work but I really enjoy it. MUM: OK. NAELA: And… MUM: What have you got? NAELA: As you can see everything’s quite pink… or pinky-purple. These are the kind of colours I want on my walls, like lilac, pinky kind of colours. And then the darker purple and darker lilac colours is for the design on top. MUM: But are you going to have… Are you going to have each wall a different colour? NAELA: Yeah, so that this…like back wall, where the head…where the bed goes would be lilac. MUM: Right.

64

©2007


NAELA: And then the wall with the window on it, might be pink. MUM: OK. Well, I wouldn’t like that but it’s your room. NAELA: Yeah… Well I think it looks good and it’s modern. You like it, don’t you? DAISY: Yeah. NAELA: It will look good. MUM: OK. TEACHER: Hi, girls! GIRLS: Hello! NAELA: Hello! GIRL 1: Hello, Kizzy! TEACHER: Come in! THE GIRLS: Hi! GIRLS: Fine… NAELA (off): I’m very into music, especially singing, and twice a week I take singing lessons. TEACHER: OK, what I want you to do is put your hands on your stomach. We’re going to start off with our vowels. What I want you to do is follow me, OK? Keep your… your mouth nice and relaxed, your tongue flat and your mouth open. We’ll start with the vowels, so if I do it first and you can copy me, OK? Va, va, va, va, va, va, va, va, va… THE GIRLS: Va, va, va, va, va, va… TEACHER (off): I started Studio Seven two years ago and the reason for this was to develop young children in the community into professional artists, and build up their confidence and explore their creativity. I have also, the…one of the main things I think is important is that the…the Studio Seven membership is…is relatively cheap because the kids in the community can’t afford to go to…a professional stage school, they just don’t have the funds. So here we only charge five pound a session. We run two sessions, one’s on the Tuesday and the other one’s on the Thursday, from five thirty to eight thirty. And my ultimate goal as a professional artist myself, is to pass on my knowledge and develop these children, so that they can go into the entertainment world if they wish to do so. EVERYONE: …Let it shine, let it shine… TEACHER: And again… TEACHER: Naela is one of my students. She’s one of my older students. She’s developing quite well. She… The confidence is a little bit low at the moment, but that’s what we’re developing now. Her vocal skills are quite excellent. TEACHER: OK, one more time please, Naela. And remember, diaphragm: keep your throat nice and relaxed and… and open, OK? And I want you to sing a song for me. OK. Please. NAELA: ‘You give me butterflies… Got me flying so high in the sky I can’t control my butterflies…’ NAELA: With lots of hard work and dedication I hope that one day I’ll be a star. Then I’ll be rich, and it will put an end to my money problems.

RÓISÍN IN CARNA RÓISÍN: Fáilte go Conamara = Welcome to Connemara. RÓISÍN (off): We’re in the west of Ireland. Connemara is a beautiful area with its vast, unspoiled wilderness, its shores washed by the waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean. There are lovely lakes, streams and rocky hills. RÓISÍN: Hi! I’m Róisín and I live here in Carna. Come inside! I’ll introduce you to my family. Is that…? I think… I don’t believe this! My parents are training! Hello, mum! MUM: Hello, Róisín! RÓISÍN: Hello, Dad! DAD: Hello, Róisín! … MUM: /speaking Irish/ RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/ DAD: /speaking Irish/ RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/ MUM: /speaking Irish/ RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/ MUM: /speaking Irish/ DAD: /speaking Irish/ RÓISÍN: …OK… I’ll leave them to it now, because they’re speaking Irish, and you won’t understand a word they’re saying. RÓISÍN: I’ll introduce you to my brother and sister now. I’m sure they won’t mind. I doubt they’re doing their homework. This is my brother

Paráic and my sister Martha. PARÁIC AND MARTHA: Hello! RÓISÍN: They love playing the Play Station, but I don’t really like football. RÓISÍN: This is where we do our shopping. Although it might look small they have everything you need. This is the Post Office and, come to think of it, it might be the last one before you get to the United States. RÓISÍN: This is the secondary school where I’m now going to school. I’ve been coming here for four years, and I have another two years left before I go to college. I love it here and I look forward to coming into school every morning. RÓISÍN (off): There are 200 pupils in our school, and it is a policy to wear school uniforms. RÓISÍN: This is where I do basketball. It’s my favourite sport and it’s very good exercise. Oh! And that’s my coach, Pat Burke. COACH: Róisín! Here! Come on, let’s go! RÓISÍN: I’ve got to go! COACH: In the game, here we go! Right! Move it, Jim! And quick! Let’s go! RÓISÍN (off): This is my favourite sport, basketball. I have basketball training every Friday after school. I like it because it keeps my fit and we have a great basketball team and I like to win. COACH: My name is Pat Burke. I am the basketball coach here in Carna Community School. I am also the PE teacher in the school. About sixty girls play basketball out of a hundred girls in the school, and we train two evenings a week after school from four until six. Róisín joined the basketball club here in the school in first year and has shown steady improvement and very dedicated to her training. RÓISÍN: This is our lovely local church. There’s nobody here now but it’s usually packed on Sunday mornings and Saturday evenings. That’s when I come. RÓISÍN (off): Although young people don’t go to church as often as they used to, for most people around here church is very important. For me and my family, we go every week. And if I don’t go to church then, personally, I feel guilty. RÓISÍN: Now I’d like you to meet my friends. This is Naessa… NAESSA: Hi ya! RÓISÍN: …who’d be on the tin whistle. Colm, on the accordion. And Róisín who will dance. RÓISÍN 2: Hello! RÓISÍN: They have come over today, so that we can have a session, which means that everyone will sing and dance and play traditional music. RÓISÍN (off): Traditional music is a very important part of the Irish culture. It gets passed on from generation to generation, and it involves both the young and the old. There are five of us in the family and we’re all very close. My father is always very busy, so we look forward to the summer, when we get the opportunity to go on holidays together. Then there’s my sister Martha. She comes to me for advice about make-up and clothes. And, of course, there’s my brother Park. He is very spoilt by my parents but not by me. He always does what I tell him to do. RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/ MUM: /speaking Irish/ RÓISÍN (off): My mother and I love going shopping together, and we always go for coffee afterwards. We always speak Irish in our family, of course, because it is the native language. RÓISÍN (off) : To earn pocket money I waitress at the Carna Bay Hotel. Here I take orders, serve people food and drink and clear tables. With my pocket money I like to buy clothes, CDs and make-up. Oh, and to save for going out at the weekend! RÓISÍN (off): Here we are in Galway city, the biggest city closest to Connemara. People come here for shopping, to go to the cinema or even for a night out. RÓISÍN: Sitting beside me is Paráic Ó Connaire, a famous playwright from Connemara. Actually Paráic, I’ve starred in one of your plays. I wonder does he know that? RÓISÍN: Oh, God! Where is it? I know I had it yesterday! I was coming downtown, I went into the shop… I came out. I know I had my purse, because I checked and it was there. And now it’s going to be… God! TEACHER: That’s excellent, Róisín! Could you use that characterisation in your exercise with Frank later on today? RÓISÍN: Yeah, sure. TEACHER: Great! TEACHER: In this scene let you be the employer… RÓISÍN: OK. TEACHER: …and you’ll be the employee. And initially you play it with a high status. RÓISÍN: OK. TEACHER: Initially, play it with a low status. When I clap my hands gently, you’ll switch status and stay in the same characters. RÓISÍN: Etha Dunne, please! What time do you call this, Etha? RÓISÍN (off): For as long as I can remember I have always loved acting, and I’m so happy now that I joined the drama class with Claire, because she has taught me so much about improvisation and how to have more confidence in myself.

ETHA: Listen, just because you’re my boss doesn’t mean you can boss me around, OK? I… I work long, hard hours for you! I’m a brilliant worker, OK? I mean some people don’t come here till…like what, ten o’clock? And you’re giving me a hard time for being 30 minutes late? RÓISÍN: Yeah, but I am your employer. ETHA: Yeah… RÓISÍN: I pay you, don’t I? ETHA: (Yeah…) RÓISÍN: And I pay you good money, don’t I, Etha? ETHA: Yeah, yeah, brilliant, brilliant money… RÓISÍN: So why…? TEACHER: Cut! Excellent! Weren’t they good? Weren’t they good? OK… RÓISÍN (off): This is my third year doing dance. Watching famous people sing and dance on the TV inspired me to take it up. I really love to move to the rhythm and beat of the music. TEACHER: Over the top. Ready! And…one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. That was great, Róisín! Well done! RÓISÍN: After a long day in the city with drama and dance classes I love to come to my aunt’s house here in Galway, and meet up with my friends to prepare for a night out. AUNT: (Ah…!) RÓISÍN (Hey!) AUNT: Hello, Róisín! You’re welcome. RÓISÍN: (How are you? ) AUNT: How are you? RÓISÍN: Fine, thanks. How are you? AUNT: Did you have a nice day in town? RÓISÍN: Great, good, yeah... AUNT: Oh, you’re looking lovely! How are you? GIRL 1: Are you wearing this? Do you want to wear this? What is this…? GIRL 2: (It’s OK?) RÓISÍN: Maybe this one here… RÓISÍN (off): I have many friends but Róisín and Naessa are my best friends. GIRL 1: (Or even… No…?) RÓISÍN: I’ve known them for many years, and we do everything together. GIRL: Oh yeah! Oh yeah! We’ll cover your face. That’ll be good for you! GIRL 2: Sod off! RÓISÍN (off): I know it sounds strange, but I’m telling the truth when I say we never, ever fight. GIRL: (You look beautiful…) RÓISÍN (off): I have two more years left in school, before I move on to college and I will miss the teachers and my friends when I leave. GIRL 2. I believe you… GIRL 1: No, seriously… RÓISÍN: Well, we’re all ready to go to the cinema now, and we’re going to meet up with some of our other friends there. Hi! THE GIRLS: Hello! FRIENDS: Hi! Hi! RÓISÍN: Well, OK. I leave you here now = Fágtha mé anseo sibh. It’s been great talking to you. Bye! So long!

GRAHAM’S FRIED BREAKFAST -This morning I’m gonna make you a fried breakfast and I’ll show you some of the ingredients here. -Two different types of sausages. These sausages are pork and leek sausages and they’re the most delicious sausages I’ve ever tasted. They’re just the best! -This bacon is also absolutely delicious.

-Something else you might not have seen before is black pudding. This is a traditional Scottish delicacy. -And it is made from sheep bits and it’s soaked in the blood of the sheep. Obviously it wouldn’t be a fry-up without eggs and tomato. -The first thing I’ve got to do is to turn the heat on for the frying pan. -And now what I’m going to do, is stab the sausages, because otherwise they’ll burst open, down here, when they go in the heat. -I’m doing the sausages first because they take the longest to cook and I don’t want to be waiting for them when everything else is ready. -Every now and then you have to check that it’s not burning, because that doesn’t really taste very nice. -Now I’m going to cook the black pudding. If you look at it you see that it has got skin on it. But you have to leave the skin on, because if you don’t leave it on, then the thing falls to bits, when you put it in the frying-pan. -We’ll leave that to cook for a while. -Well, now I’m going to put the bacon in, so we’re nearly done. -I’ll take the bacon and I’ll just put that in. And while that’s cooking itself, I’ll go and get my rolls. -Now I’m going to make some room in the pan, so I’ve got space for my eggs and my tomatoes. -So if you use a wee bit of butter, just like that, it tastes so much better. -Let the butter melt and now we can throw the eggs in. -Just to keep it hot we’ll cover it all with a lid. -Well, I’ve cooked all that food but I forgot my vegetables, so I’ll put the tomatoes in just now and put that back on to the heat. -And so we’re nearly there. -Well, it looks like it’s about ready now. So I’ll take it over here and see how I can manage to fit it into my plate. -I put an egg in each bun and I’ll have a bit of bacon with that. -And I need to close them, so there’s room on the plate for the rest. -Well, now that I’ve got everything ready I can take the skin off the pudding. Here you go and now you can sit down and start to eat. -A meal like this will keep me going for the whole day!

RÓISÍN’S BLT -Hello! Now I’m going to make BLT; bacon, lettuce, tomato, on toast. I make that sometimes after school, because it is easy to make and fast. -So now I have to grab a few things from the fridge. -The ingredients you need are: lettuce, tomatoes, some bread, bacon, cheese and of course some mayonnaise. -Now we have to turn on the grill. We turn it to about 250. -Now we’ll toast the bread. - OK, we’ll cut up some lettuce. OK, that should be enough. -Then you’ll cut up your tomato. You cut it in four slices. OK -And then you need to grate some cheese. -Oh, the toast is ready! -You see, nice and brown. -Then you put some mayonnaise on it. OK. That’s the mayonnaise. Spread it like this, and over here. -Then you just get your lettuce. You put the lettuce on first, just put it nice, just a bit. And then you just put the tomatoes on, four, that’s one in every corner. Beep, beep -Oh, the bacon should be ready now! -OK, you just get the bacon and you place it on top. One here and one here. -Now, there’s just one more thing left for me to do. Now, we’ll just sprinkle some cheese on the top. I put lots of cheese, just like this. It’s very messy. -You just take this slice and you put it back under the grill again. -You just leave it there for another few minutes and let the cheese melt. -I just take this with me now because I think it’s ready. -It is. Just put this on top and you bite into it. -Uh, hot! It is really hot!

Transparência 2 – Sports À semelhança da transparência anterior, esta transparência também visa a exploração ou a consolidação dos nomes das várias actividades/desportos e respectivos equipamentos. Em alternativa, o professor poderá ainda, a partir das imagens, levar os alunos a manifestarem os seus interesses e preferências em relação a práticas desportivas e actividades de lazer.

Transparência 3 – Technologies Para além da identificação dos diversos equipamentos tecnológicos, o professor pode organizar um brainstorming em que solicita aos alunos que indiquem adjectivos e/ou verbos que associam às diversas tecnologias representadas nas imagens. Posteriormente, poderão ainda escrever uma frase para cada imagem utilizando o vocabulário sistematizado.

Transparência 4 – What can you buy here? Com a apresentação desta transparência, o professor poderá relembrar os nomes das diversas lojas e colocar aos alunos a questão – What can you buy here? – para verificar a aquisição de vocabulário relacionado com comidas, bebidas e até outros produtos.

Transparência 7 – What are they wearing? Esta transparência surge aqui enquadrada na temática das roupas, abordada na unidade 3, Fashion File, e visa sobretudo, consolidar a capacidade dos alunos para descrever as roupas das pessoas e identificar estilos.

Unit 1 Comprehension File Teens and mobile phones Melissa, 12, Liverpool “I believe I can’t do anything without my mobile phone. It’s got all my numbers on, my info and I can’t call my mates without it. The only thing is the amount of money I spend on it... But I love my little mobile phone and I can’t go anywhere without it.” Rachel, 13, Grantham “The must-have item for everyone is a mobile phone, but I think that only mature people should have one. I can’t agree with the idea that children must have one. They are just wasting money and time and it can damage their health. Lots of teens take them to school but I don’t see the real need for that as schools will phone home if there are any problems.” Stephen, 15, Antrim “I agree. Mobiles are addictive. Mobiles are cool, but they are so dangerous and once you get one you can’t put it down. In my case, I’m not addicted to my mobile but I always have it with me so that I feel safe.” Simon, 13, London “My mobile phone is always on. I charge it up every night. I am always texting, but never phone people. Texting is so much better. Texting is so addictive, once you start you just can’t stop.”

Thanksgiving Day Song: “Thanksgiving” by Sara Jordan

The first year they settled was very harsh Over half of the Pilgrims died They owed their thanks to a native Indian, “Squanto”, who kept them alive.

TEST A


I – Comprehension: Reading A. Read Marguerita’s letter to her Irish pen friend, Nora.

18th September 2007 Dear Nora, I loved your postcard from the Bahamas. Sorry, I didn’t write sooner but I was away on my summer holiday when it arrived. Then I had to get ready to go back to school, so I didn’t have much time to write to all my friends, but I’m going to do it now. My summer holiday was terrific. In July I went to Portugal with my family. My uncle lives in the Algarve and we also have a flat there. My cousins and I are about the same age, so we always have a great time together. Some friends of ours invited us to go on a boat trip to the caves along the coast and I found it really amazing. Then I spent three weeks in an international school at Bradfield in England to improve my English. I became much more confident and I made lots of friends from different parts of the world. It may seem a bit boring because we had classes but I didn’t find it boring at all. Classes started at 9.00 and finished at 12.30 and we enjoyed ourselves a lot because we learned things in a funny way. We made videos and wrote magazine articles among other things. After lunch we had drama, arts and crafts, treasure hunt or we went for a short walk. Later we played sports like tennis, baseball, volleyball or football. Sometimes we went swimming too. In the evening we could watch films, organise a karaoke or take part in one of the many special nights they prepared for us. At the weekend we always had a barbecue when the weather was nice (unfortunately it was a bit rainy on the last week) and on Saturday night we all went to the discos. Every Friday we went in a trip to a famous British city and I took the chance to buy lots of souvenirs and some nice clothes too. Britain has wonderful scenery and I was really impressed with London, Oxford and Cambridge. I wish I could study at one of those universities some day. Maybe next year I will go to an international school in Ireland. I’ve already talked to my parents about that and they say they will see what they can do. Perhaps we could meet then. I will tell you about it later. Please write and tell me more about yourself. How is the new school year going? Love from, Marguerita

TEST B


I – Comprehension: Reading A. Read Marguerita’s letter to her Irish pen friend, Nora.

18th September 2007 Dear Nora, I loved your postcard from the Bahamas. Sorry, I didn’t write sooner but I was away on my summer holiday when it arrived. Then I had to get ready to go back to school, so I didn’t have much time to write to all my friends but I’m going to do it now. My summer holiday was terrific. In July I went to Portugal with my family. My uncle lives in the Algarve and we also have a flat there. My cousins and I are about the same age, so we always have a great time together. Some friends of ours invited us to go on a boat trip to the caves along the coast and I found it really amazing. Then I spent three weeks in an international school at Bradfield in England to improve my English. I became much more confident and I made lots of friends from different parts of the world. It may seem a bit boring because we had classes but I didn’t find it boring at all. Classes started at 9.00 and finished at 12.30 and we enjoyed ourselves a lot because we learned things in a funny way. We made videos and wrote magazine articles among other things. After lunch we had drama, arts and crafts, treasure hunt or we went for a short walk. Later we played sports like tennis, baseball, volleyball or football. Sometimes we went swimming too. In the evening we could watch films, organise a karaoke or take part in one of the many special nights they prepared for us. At the weekend we always had a barbecue when the weather was nice (unfortunately it was a bit rainy in the last week) and on Saturday night we all went to the discos. Every Friday we went on a trip to a famous British city and I took the chance to buy lots of souvenirs and some nice clothes too. Britain has wonderful scenery and I was really impressed with London, Oxford and Cambridge. I wish I could study at one of those universities some day. Maybe next year I will go to an international school in Ireland. I’ve already talked to my parents about that and they say they will see what they can do. Perhaps we could meet then. I will tell you about it later. Please write and tell me more about yourself. How is the new school year going? Love from, Marguerita

Today’s American teens live in a world enveloped by communication technologies; the Internet and cell phones have become a central force that fuels the rhythm of daily life. The number of teenagers using the Internet has grown 24% in the past four years and 87% of those between the ages of 12 and 17 are online. Compared to four years ago, teens’ use of the Internet has intensified and they log on more often and do more things when they are online. Among other things, there has been significant growth over the past four years in the number of teens who play games on the Internet, get news, shop online and get health information. Not only has the number of users increased, but also the variety of technologies that teens use to support their communication, research, and entertainment desires has grown. These technologies consist of a variety of methods and channels by which young people can communicate with one another as well as with their parents and other authorities. To them, e-mail is increasingly seen as a tool for communicating with “adults” such as teachers, institutions like schools, and as a way of giving detailed information to large groups. IM (Instant Message), however, is used for everyday conversations with multiple friends. It is easier and it is also used as a place of personal expression. Young people are leading the transition to a fully wired and mobile nation with all its advantages and disadvantages. in www.pewinternet.org (abridged and adapted)

UNIT 2

TEST A


I – Comprehension: Reading A. Read the texts carefully. Teen diet isn’t all junk food Young people know how to eat wisely, and many do, though it’s hard to resist temptations. A walk through the food court of any shopping mall confirms the worst reports about teens’ eating habits: kids share cartons of French fries, bite into cheeseburgers, eat slices of pizza and drink jumbo cups of soda. Stop and talk to teenagers, though, and many say that they eat junk food mainly when they’re out of their parents’ sight, especially when they’re hanging out with friends. They have learned what it means to eat healthily, they say, even though they often don’t choose to do so. Let’s read what they say. I usually skip breakfast and have chips, cookies, candy and soda, bought from school vending machines, for lunch. I often go to a carryout restaurant after school for French fries, fried rice and egg rolls. Dinner at home tends to be much healthier, including baked chicken and rice. I know my mom would prefer that I eat healthier meals. But I don’t have time to eat healthy and junk food is often the quickest way to satisfy my hunger when I’m on the go and that’s common among busy teenagers.

I am a big fresh-fruit eater, which is unusual, I admit, for a 15-year-old. I love citrus fruit, apples, nectarines and mango. I usually come home around three and I have a vegetable salad. I know I do this thanks to my parents’ mealtime routines. When I eat out I also try to choose the most healthy dishes but I can’t resist some delicious desserts.

I enjoy chips, pizza, candy and hot sausages but my mom’s rule of eating a salad with every meal sticks. I try to do what my mom does with vegetables and stuff. I know it’s good for me. Sometimes I have a choice not to eat a salad, but I’ll take it anyway. I’m not a big fried-food eater too and my mom typically keeps fresh fruits in the house which helps me to keep good eating habits. Rashida Ross By January W.

Hi! My name is Jonathan Dean. I’m 14 and I’m in the 8th grade. Every day, I walk through my school, Cross Keys, in Atlanta, Georgia, passing the endless groups and gangs that surround us. A band of Goths, a collection of Townies, a group of Rockers. We are all labelled – Townie, Goth, Skater, Geek or a Rocker – and it happens as soon as we leave kindergarten or primary school. We are thrown into the brutal, strange, worrying world of high school and fashion. Our tastes develop, interests change and we want to show we are almost grown ups. Sometimes even friends grow apart and there are new responsibilities, new ways of “classifying people”, a sector for every type of person according to the way they dress and the tastes they have. Although I feel this is a bad thing, I can’t escape it. There are some classmates of mine who are proud of belonging to a group. Proud to be ‘different’ they say but is it really so? Why do we allow ourselves to be driven into a band of similar people or to be victims of fashion? The main reason I find is based on our musical interests that influence what we wear. Rock, Punk, Dance, R&B, Metal. Just a few of the music types that boom from our stereos, PCs and Mp3s….These, I believe, control and dominate our style, our taste…even our way of life. Another thing is the fear of being ridiculed for liking something that to others is not ‘cool’ or ‘right’. There are some who want to be their own person and refuse to belong to these groups. “I don’t want to be a sheep, I want to be a new sort of person. I’ll do my own thing and live my own life” they say. They try not to be part of all the mad, crazy world of designer labels. Maybe someday I’ll have the courage to do the same. C. Are the statements true (T) or false (F)? Correct the false statements. 1. Jonathan is worried about being labelled. 2. He thinks that we start to be victims of designer labels in the kindergarten. 3. He blames music for controlling teen’s lives. 4. He would like to change his attitude towards designer labels.

What is Jonathan criticizing about the world of teens? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. In his opinion, what changes when students move to high school? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. According to him, why do teenagers belong to specific groups? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Do all teens have the same attitude towards groups? Explain your opinion. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ E. Do you see your school the same way Jonathan does? Why / Why not? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hi! My name is Jonathan Dean. I’m 14 and I’m in the 8th grade. Every day, I walk through my school, Cross Keys, in Atlanta, Georgia, passing the endless groups and gangs that surround us. A band of Goths, a collection of Townies, a group of Rockers. We are all labelled – Townie, Goth, Skater, Geek or a Rocker – and it happens as soon as we leave kindergarten or primary school. We are thrown into the brutal, strange, worrying world of high school and fashion. Our tastes develop, interests change and we want to show we are almost grown ups. Sometimes even friends grow apart and there are new responsibilities, new ways of “classifying people”, a sector for every type of person according to the way they dress and the tastes they have. Although I feel this is a bad thing, I can’t escape it. There are some classmates of mine who are proud of belonging to a group. Proud to be ‘different’ they say but is it really so? Why do we allow ourselves to be driven into a band of similar people or to be victims of fashion? The main reason I find is based on our musical interests that influence what we wear. Rock, Punk, Dance, R&B, Metal. Just a few of the music types that boom from our stereos, PCs and Mp3s….These, I believe, control and dominate our style, our taste…even our way of life. Another thing is the fear of being ridiculed for liking something that to others is not ‘cool’ or ‘right’. There are some who want to be their own person and refuse to belong to these groups. “I don’t want to be a sheep, I want to be a new sort of person. I’ll do my own thing and live my own life” they say. They try not to be part of all the mad, crazy world of designer labels. Maybe someday I’ll have the courage to do the same. C. Are the statements true (T) or false (F)? Support your choices with sentences from the text. 1. Jonathan is worried about being labelled. _____________________________________ 2. He thinks that we start to be victims of designer labels in the kindergarten. _____________________________________ 3. In his opinion everybody should belong to a group. _____________________________________ 4. He blames music for controlling teen’s lives. _____________________________________ 5. He would like to change his attitude towards designer labels. _____________________________________ D. Answer the questions about the text. 1. What is Jonathan criticizing about the world of teens? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. In his opinion, what changes when students move to high school? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. According to him, why do teenagers belong to specific groups? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Do all the teens have the same attitude towards groups? Explain your opinion. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ E. Do you see your school the same way Jonathan does? Why / Why not? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
