Rating
0.0 stars

SYNOPSIS: This lesson explores ways to reduce carbon emissions through the reduction of disposable plastics in daily routines.

SCIENTIST NOTES: We have a problem with plastics; they are everywhere. And they are bad for the climate and our health. This lesson shows how some countries are trying to reduce the use of plastics. This lesson passed our scientific review process.

Tenemos un problema con los plásticos; están por todas partes. Y son malos para el clima y nuestra salud. Esta lección muestra cómo algunos países están tratando de reducir el uso de plásticos. Esta lección pasó nuestro proceso de revisión científica.

POSITIVES:
-This lesson can easily be integrated into a unit on daily routines, the environment, or the present tense.
-Students are exposed to ways that Latin American countries are leading the way in solving the plastics problem.
-The lesson engages students with two games, Quizlet live and Kahoot.
-The vocabulary related to plastic items is scaffolded so that students can independently navigate the Spanish-language websites and complete the final project with confidence.

ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES:
-The activities presume novice-high Spanish-language proficiency.
-Students should be familiar with reflexive verbs in the present tense, verbs like gustar to express opinions, and daily routine vocabulary.
-To prepare to teach this lesson, teachers can learn about plastics and recycling.
-This NPR/Frontline report from 2020 and this in-depth Greenpeace España report analyze the limits of recycling as a solution to the plastic problem.
-Bioplastics are made from natural ingredients such as corn. This flier, produced by Break Free From Plastic, provides data about the drawbacks of this solution.

DIFFERENTIATION:
-The lesson can be shortened by eliminating the vocabulary activities in the Inquire section or eliminating either Parte 1 or Parte 2 in the Inspire section.
-The lesson can be extended for advanced students by including supplemental reading and listening activities.
-Students can explore the 2024 international treaty on plastics using this summary in Spanish of the 22 foundational points.
-This RTVE report "La Unión Europea dice adiós al plástico de un solo uso" includes text and a short video.
-Recicladores de base are an important part of the recycling process in many countries. Marce La Recicladora from Colombia has an informative YouTube channel.

Reading - Elementary French - An Ivory Coast Family (Aya's Family)
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Rationale: This activity will provide an alternative to traditional activities on French families offered in a lot of textbooks, and will get students engage with an authentic material: an excerpt from a contemporary Francophone “bande dessinée”. While some students may already know traditional Francophone comics such as Tintin or Astérix, this activity is here to provide them with a more recent and more diverse example. Aya de Yopougon is centered on a young female character growing up in Yop City, a fictional city very similar to writer Marguerite Abouet’s own native city (Abidjan, Ivory Coast). The “reading” phase of this activity is designed to encourage collaborative reading.

WL Self Assessment Checklist - Intermediate Low
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Research shows that engaging students in self-assessment positively impacts language learning, motivation, and learner autonomy. To help World Language Educators accomplish this, the Nebraska Department of Education invited experienced world language teachers across the state to create student-friendly assessments in the form of can-do statements in the summer of 2022. This document is a student-friendly self-assessment activity for Intermediate Low world language learners created based on the 2019 Nebraska World Language Standards. The language use described in all can-do statements is meant for the target language, except for the second for standard 3.1 and the first for standard 4.2. It is recommended that word language teachers engage students with this document three times in an academic year: pre-course, mid-course, and post-course. Engaging students with this self-assessment activity will help students see growth over time and hopefully attribute growth to effective learning practices. Please feel free to contact chrystal.liu@nebraska.gov for any questions and concerns.
