Educational aims
|
Students study and learn vocabulary
items related to ancient Greek gods, then use this knowledge to create their
own material.
|
|
Timetable fit
|
This is an introductory unit, the first in a series of units, dealing
with ancient Greek myths.
|
|
Group profile
|
There are 26 students in class, 13 boys and 13 girls.
|
|
Duration
|
One (1) teaching hour [45 minutes]
|
|
Assumptions
|
Students are pre-elementary (A1) level English learners. They don’t have
enough of the key vocabulary to discuss mythology and their writing is
imprecise therefore needs work.
|
|
Anticipated problems and solutions
|
Learners may be unsure of some key vocabulary in the presented videos;
therefore a brainstorming activity at the beginning as well as a powerpoint
presentation to follow, together with related language games, will facilitate
learning.
