1. Justification.

First of all, we want to explain that the topic we have chosen is “Food”. In our

opinion it is a very good choose because is useful for working some different contents and topics. This opens lot of doors for working contents related to English vocabulary and oral expression, but also to healthy habits, healthy diet and some other customs and behaviours very important at this age. Moreover, this topic allows us working different contents that appear in the curriculum, but which are not related to Foreign Language Learning: for example, emotions, sentiments and wishes, considering that every child has preferences about food.

In addition, we are going to integrate learnings we are working in English with

these that we are working in Basque language too (it means that rest of day we will be working and researching around the topic of “Food”). So, the atmosphere we are going to create in our student’s class will have a very good cohesion and coherence, which allows a significant learning, essential for the good comprehension and application of the content.

Finally, we want to clear up that our Didactic Unit is also justified by the

objectives that appear in the curriculum, which are explained in the section of “Objectives and Contents”.

2. Contextualization.

These activities are being carried out at the public school Bernart Etxepare in Txantrea (Pamplona) which has the D model of studying. Although the main language is Basque, it also works Spanish as a subject and English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

We will work in a class with 23 children with the age of 3-4 years old, so it will be their first contact with English. We have to say that one of the students has special needs (dyslexia), this requires that the main activities will be adapted to the needs of this child, in order to get the maximum of our children. We will explain this part in detail in the section of “Suggestions for variation/catering for diversity”.

The classroom is organized in corners, dividing the class in different spaces with materials prepared to answer to all needs and interests of children. All the material has been thought, selected and chosen to help in the development of the children, according to their needs and interests. Material could change and progress according to the contents, so depending on the unit we can choose the most appropriate material to work what we want.

This classroom management allows us to use corners as resource for introducing different games and activities according to the topic. So in addition of different material we will use in this unit, such us: flashcards, songs, games…, corners could be an interesting way to work them in the daily routine.

We will start working this unit the last two weeks of October, from 19th to 30th October. So before this unit, we will have already worked another topic, “The Body” in this case. This means that children will be used to some vocabulary, and it could be easier to them to work this second unit.

Here is our timetable, which will help us during the planning and organizing of

the different activities, because depending on the hour of the day some activities will be more appropriate to work with children than others.

To encourage a healthy diet, at the beginning of the school year the mid-morning snack is established, so all the children have to bring the same, inviting them to eat different things. Our intention is to make the parents understand that the mid-morning snack is children business too, because we want to promote the participation of the children in the preparation of the snacks.

Different material to do the customs Moreover, we could find interesting songs, videos and stories on the internet,

which will allow us to work our topic in a ludic way. It is important to select them well, taking in account our objectives and the values that we want to transmit to the children. Here there are the links of the material that we are going to use in the activities:

5. Methodology

Our principal goal is to develop and create interest and pleasure about English in

the preschool children. To achieve that, we need to believe in children’s potentials and competencies and give them the option to decide and participate in different decisions. It is very important that child feels sure and secure about himself, such being able to make decisions. In this way, we will educate responsible, critical, curious and active children.

DIDACTIC UNIT: FOOD Aranguren, Biurrun, Paternain and Sueskun

From these considerations, all the activities will be proposals, so participate in

them or not will be in their hand, because we think that lack of motivation could create hatred to English and the different experiences that they have with English will influence their behaviour towards this discipline. In the same way, we will try to create attractive and motivating proposals to children, approaching them with pleasure to English. Our main aim is to start with pleasure and end up loving English. We will make the evaluation using the activities and also we will have an evaluation table, one peer child, which will allow us to know if they have achieved the objectives defined before.

6. Sequence of activities.

We are going to explain all the activities one by one, but here we can see all the

activities we are going to do, to have a general idea of our project.

In addition, each time that we will have to tidy up the classroom, we will profit to help this moment with “Tidy up song”. Thanks to using this three songs, we will improve the knowledge of different vocabulary and expressions useful in daily moments. Also, they will be a good way for making this moments more amusing. However, as this unit is the second topic we have worked in this year, children have already known this songs, so they will be familiar to them.

For about 30 minutes. 3. Material

The customs we have already done.

4. Grouping

First we will work all together and then we will make small groups of 4 children to make the last activity.

5. Activities

We will take the costumes that we have done the days before and we will dress

them. Then, we will review the Halloweens songs all together. After that, we will visit

primary classrooms, for singing them our songs. We could do small groups of 4

children.

Finally, we will join the other classmates and have fun in the party that we have

prepared. There will be some food (that we have already worked) and different music

and materials. In the same way, we will profit to play the theatre learnt during these

last days.

6. Evaluation

Finally, we will have to assure that all objectives and contents have been

achieved and, for that, we will use a specific “Evaluation table” (attached at the end)

for each student. These activities, so, will be evaluated by this resource.

7. Suggestions for variation/catering for diversity.

First of all, we want to clarify that, in case of having extra time for doing the

activities, in case of lack of time, or maybe in case of having technical problems, we are prepared for changing our plans and adapting them for new needs. For this, we have different resources like flashcards; some theatres (on the house corner or for Halloween day, for example) and also we can spend more or less time making costumes for Halloween. We have flexibility for extending or shortening the activities, so we will be able to adapt our work to unexpected changes of plans.

In the other side, as we had said before, in our classroom we have a child with special needs, because he/she is dyslexic. Before preparing this didactic unit we knew that the activities that we will have to prepare would be adapted to any need. This child doesn’t need curricular adaptation, because his/her needs are not significant in the time of having to integrate in the class.

Our main goal is to prepare sessions for every child can do everything without problems, but if there were any child with special needs, the teacher would have to be aware of it and she/he must try to get the maximum normality as possible, being inclusive every moment.

Seeing the needs that this child has, he/she doesn´t need any adaptation in the activities, but he/she needs some adjustment in the teacher-student relationship.

Taking into account all we had said, these are the educational responses we are going to give him/her regarding his/her needs.

Material adaptation

We are going to adapt the flashcards in size and colour. Furthermore, wanting to use the new technologies we will mix the visual and auditory information to facilitate him/her the comprehension.

Methodology adaptation

When we are sit down in the circle we will try to be near him/her, making easier to him/her to understand better our instructions. For that, we are going to speak him/her more slowly, with clear messages, strengthening his/her behaviour and repeating if it is necessary. In addition, it is recommended not to give him/her much work and if the work is hard for him/her, give him/her the chance to rest from doing it.

8. Evaluation.

As we have said before here is our evaluation table, which we will use during the

activities.
