ACTIVATE
SCHEMA:
1. Ask Ss the following set of questions:
Do you know what your name means?
Do you know where your last name comes from?
2. Have
students pair up and discuss which the most common name in the group is.
ACTIVITY#1,
READING: WHAT’S IN A NAME?
1. Have
Ss read the magazine article on p. 14 in their student’s book (unit 1, Lesson
3) that talks about the meaning of last names and first names.
2. After
they finish reading have them answer Ex. 3 about the magazine article.
ACTIVITY#2:
NAME HUNTING
1. Tell
Ss to make a list of names and last names they find in the magazine article
they have just
read.
2. Tell them
that they will watch a video about last names and names and ask them to write
as many last names and names they get and identify their origin.
NOTE:
Tell students that they have to pay a lot of attention because video is very
fast. Play the video twice.
WRAP UP:
1.
Teacher will have students investigate the origin of their names and/or last
names.
2.
Students will write a short paragraph as homework to share the information they
found with the group the next class.
JUSTIFICATION TO THE ADDENDUM:
In our opinion there was a need to connect the reading to our own culture by including activities where students could personalize the topic to their culture.
As a result we decided to bring more authentic and updated material about the topic by the use of a video which we predict it might be a bit difficult for the aimed level but it will provide visual examples about the target topic (origin of names/last names).
The main objective that we intend to achieve with this addendum is to have our students pinpoint the difference between a name and a last name and be aware that names have equivalents in other languages around the world.
