Pre-reading activities:

In small groups (3-4), learners discuss about the celebrations in their own native culture.

​

In group, discuss of the similarities between different celebrations and make a brainstorm of the vocabulary used to describe celebrations.

​

Individually, the students look at the table of contents and take notes about what they know about the countries and culture that are in the story.

Post-reading activities:

After the students read the story, they have to find similarities and differences that exist between the cultures and languages presented (2 similarities, 2 differences).

 

They also have to identify three things they've learned.

​

Then, learners try to answer a question they have about the languages or cultures they learned about, using different resources (internet, books, native speaker, etc.)

Reading activity:

During the reading process, the students use different strategies to follow the text with the audio support. 

​

They also confirm the statements they made, based on their personal knowledge, about the different cultures presented in the story.
