| Hi there,
I am an English teacher in the South of France near the Pyrenees in a rather small secondary school.
I have chosen to work on a project on stereotypes (it would be part of a chapter on stereotypes that would last about 10 hours). In this project, students would realise 2 productions that they would share and compare with their fellow foreign students.
The project would consist in two written productions and a virtual encounter:
1) In the middle of the chapter: create a card “you can tell I’m (nationality) because…”
2) At the end of the chapter: write an email to a foreign student to warn him/her that not all clichés foreign people have about their country are true. Say which ones you think reflect reality and which don’t.
3) Perhaps near the end of the chapter: virtual encounter on Skype
-The goal of this project is for students to reflect on their culture and consequently understand others’ better.
As there is a certain degree of abstraction in the ability to reflect on this subject, the targeted student age is 13-14 and the targeted language level is A2-B1.
-I will include the following documents in the chapter. Of course you do not have to use them. The documents I am using are:
-The Simpsons are going to Brazil (video comprehension)
-How Americans see Europe (picture)
-You can tell I’m British because… (picture)
-Stereotypes about British culture- How true are they? (written comprehension)
You can easily find these documents on the Internet if you type their names.
Please let me know if you want to join the project and hopefully we can start working together very soon!
Regards,
Justine |
