Ice-Breaker activity
The STs will be asked to write on the board names of diseases they know, related to their own real-life experiences. Then, We will randomly select some of the diseases and we will ask them; why they have decided to write them down and how they can take care of them.
Pre-activity
STs are going to start with an activity to know about some diseases around the world.
First, STs will do an icebreaker activity called “match the pictures”, the purpose of this exercise is to give them the opportunity to select the right image according to the description of each disease and to review the ones they already know but also to learn some new ones.
While activity
Then, STs will watch some videos about how diseases can affect the world population. Which are these diseases, and in what continents are more common to people die from having a disease?
Post-activity
Finally, students will write a synthesized reflection based on their previous knowledge about multiple diseases around the world and how these diseases may affect the world population.
The STs will talk about their short reflections with classmates and they will compare the different perspectives they have about the same disease according to their own context.
Assessment
In group of 5 students.
One student will select 1 disease and the other students will select possible solutions or treatments for this disease.
The group will have to elaborate a dialogue to identify the characteristics of the selected disease and how it can be avoided. Then, the students who selected the possible solutions or treatments will do a role play against the disease to eliminate it and cure the human body.
Finally, all STs are gonna deliver a short reflection about the disease selected and how human beings can avoid it.
