    MOTIVATE TO EDUCATE

    Welcome to the English Adventure Working with Values

    Handbook for Brazil. This contains values education

    lessons, one for each of the levels of the English

    Adventureseries.

    When we set out to create English Adventure, we

    wanted to help teachers of English motivate to educate

    their children. The enchanting world of Disney characters

    and stories would motivate so that they could teach not

    only English, but also relevant content, lifelong learning

    strategies, and values.

    THE VALUE OF VALUES

    As citizens of a troubled world, we agree with Lovat(2005) that: we live in a society that is shouting out

    a new charter to us. Values Education is one powerful

    means by which we might realize this charter. We

    believe that quality education involves much more than

    great language teaching, it involves educating the whole

    person. For that reason, we have included a full Values

    Curriculum throughout the English Adventureseries, to

    focus on values such as: care and compassion, friendship

    and cooperation, doing your best, respect, honesty, and

    trustworthiness. These are identified both in the Scope

    and Sequence charts and the Unit Overviews in the

    Teachers Editions. The objective of this handbook is to

    provide more ways of exploiting this curriculum while

    reviewing the language and skills in English Adventure.

    It is also intended as a much-needed bridge between

    school and home.

    THREE WAYS TO TEACH VALUES

    Children learn best from first-hand experience, concrete

    examples, and situations they can relate to. We also know

    from experience, that children learn very little from long

    speeches and de-contextualized advice, well intentioned

    though it may be. For this reason, we propose that you

    approach the Values Curriculum in anyor allof the

    following ways:

    1. The Implicit Approach. The Disney characters and

    stories exemplify a wide range of human values. Many

    of them highlight contrasts between right and wrong,

    good and bad, in situations that children can easily

    extrapolate to their own experience. Merely reading,

    speaking, and writing about these characters and

    stories can raise the childs awareness of the values

    implicit in them.

    2. The Light Touch. This is our favorite way to deal

    with values. It involves inviting the children to reflect

    on the specific value for a particular unit immediately

    after they have read and enjoyed a story in comic book

    format. Depending on the childrens age and language

    level, this can be done in Portuguese and should not

    take long. For example, in Students Book 2 Unit 5, My

    body, page 36, Aladdin sees Genie make a gigantic

    sandwich and eat it. Genie is not worried about his big

    tummy. On the contrary, he appears quite happy to be

    the way he is. After exploiting the story, you could takea few minutes to focus on the value(s) implicit in it.

    Then you could help children understand that we are

    all different and we should never feel inadequateor

    make others feel inadequateon account of any

    differences. Individual Disney stories can help anchor

    specific values and make them memorable for the

    child. Once a particular value has been anchored in

    this way, you can quickly and effectively remind your

    students of it whenever necessary.

    For example, in a situation where a child is made fun of

    by a classmate because of a special need or individual

    characteristic, the following dialog is possible:

    Teacher: Remember what we learnt with Aladdin and

    Genie?

    Student: We are all different but we are all special.

    Teacher: Please apologize to your friend and get on

    with your work.

    3. The Values Lesson. You may want to spend more

    time on certain values and develop full lessons or even

    mini projects around them. This handbook provides

    such values lesson plans and their accompanying

    photocopiable worksheets, one for each level of English

    Adventure. They can be used immediately after the

    relevant lesson in English Adventurehas been covered

    or at any time after that. The lesson notes are organized

    as follows:

    1. Warm Up

    This section provides suggestions for introducing the

    topic, activating the childrens previous knowledge,

    and reviewing language.

    2. Focus on Values

    This section provides suggestions for exploiting a

    particular story or scene in the book to highlight a

    value. The teachers notes suggest ways of helping

    children understand and reflect on the specific value.

    3. Values Activity Worksheet

    This includes step by step instructions for using the

    photocopiable worksheet provided for the particular

    lesson.

    4. Follow Up

    This provides suggestions for further work such as:

    individual or class projects, home-school connections,

    or activities involving the whole school.

    THE GREAT ENGLISH ADVENTURE

    Parents must also be a part of their childrens English

    Adventure. They can be kept informed of the values you

    are working on and reinforce them easily at home if you

    send them the Letters Home available in Portuguese from

    www.englishadventure.com.br.

    We hope that you and your students will enjoy these

    activities and that they will promote a happy and stress-

    free atmosphere in your classroom. We also hopethat your success will inspire your colleagues, school

    administrators, and the childrens parents to join in your

    efforts for the benefit of your community. Above all, we

    trust that you will enjoy this great English Adventure as

    you help children discover the value of values!

    Unit 7: My Toys

    ObJECTIVES

    Values:

    to reflect on how jealousy separates and how to overcome it.

    Language:

    to review toy vocabulary and Do you have.? I have ..

    Materials:

    A selection of the students own toys for the Follow Up

    section.

    1. WARM UP

    Use the pictures in the Student Book to elicit the names of

    the characters in Peter Pan and what toys they have:

    T: Whos this?

    S: Wendy.

    T: Does she have a boat?

    S: No, (she has) a doll.

    Note: To elicit names of characters and their toys, you

    may also want to use the Peter Pan Section of the English

    Adventure 1 Video/DVD, episode 4: Is it a boat?

    Tell the story as you point to the pictures in the Student Book.

    Heres a suggested version. Use gestures to clarify meaningand Portuguese if necessary.

    T: Peter Pan likes Wendy very much. They are good friends.

    But Tinker Bell doesnt like Wendy. Shes jealous! Look! Tinker

    Bell is pulling at Wendys doll!

    Oops! Tinker Bell is now behind the chest of drawers. Help!

    But Peter Pan has a yo-yo! How fun! Tinker Bell is sitting on

    the yo-yo now! Peter Pan is a good friend, Tinker Bell!

    2. FOCUS ON VALUES

    Discuss with your students (in Portuguese) who has

    misbehaved in the story and why. (Tinker Bell has. She is

    jealous of Wendy and tries to take her doll.) Should Tinker Bellapologize? Should there be any consequences? If so, what?

    Have the students ever done something wrong because they

    were jealous of someone?

    Comment on Peter Pans helpful behavior. What advice can

    Peter Pan give Tinker Bell? How can he reassure her so she

    doesnt feel jealous?

    Students sometimes misbehave in class because they want our

    attention. Many of them are often jealous of their brothers and

    sisters and of other children. This is a good opportunity to raise

    these issues and suggest more positive ways to deal with these

    feelings.

    3. VALUES ACTIVITY WORkSHEET 1

    Look at the situations in the pictures one by one. Ask: Whos

    jealous? Whos friendly?Students identify the children by

    name and/or point to them.

    Ask students to draw a sad face next to the pictures of

    jealous children and a happy face next to those who are not.

    Make sure they understand that they should not be ashamed

    of feeling jealous but that they should not misbehave as

    a result. Using situations in the illustrations highlight the

    importance of including other people in their games and of

    sharing your things when you can.

    Answerkey:

    1a L 1b J

    2a L 2b J

    3a L 3b J

    Though the main focus here is on avoiding jealousy and

    offering friendship, by telling the story and asking the

    questions above to guide students you will also have

    introduced new receptive language such asjealous, friendly.

    4. FOLLOW UP

    Role Play. Using real toys that the students or you have

    brought to class, dramatize a situation where they lend TinkerBell their toys. In this role play, Tinker Bell does not need to feel

    jealous and the children act out supportive, friendly, behavior.

    S: (I have) a ball. Here (you are)! (hands the ball to the S

    playing Tinker Bell)

    Tinker Bell: (accepting the ball) Thank you.

    Unit 7: My Clothes

    ObJECTIVES

    Values:

    to reflect on the consequences of misbehaving

    to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys in a

    story.

    to learn that, in real life, people are defined by their actions

    and attitudes rather than their looks and clothes.

    Language:

    to review clothes vocabulary from the unit.

    to review Im/He/Shes wearing a .+ adj + noun.

    Materials:

    For the Follow Up ask students to bring:

    pictures of heroes and villains from comic books, films

    and video games

    old clothes and props to dress up as heroes, heroines and

    villains: various hats (boys and girls), large coats, striped T

    shirts, girls dresses (preferably long), ribbons, red or black

    pants, loose shirts, boys pants and shirts.

    1. WARM UP

    Use the pictures in the Student Book to review character

    names from Peter Pan and clothes vocabulary. For this

    purpose, you can also use English Adventure 1 video/DVDEpisode 4: Is it a boat?

    Ask students to open their Student Book to page 50 and

    point to the pictures as you tell the story. Heres a suggested

    version. Use gestures to clarify meaning (and Portuguese if

    necessary):

    T: John and Wendy are at Peter Pans house in Never Land. A

    stranger is coming! Look! He is wearing a big black hat. And

    yes! Hes wearing a long red coat! Who is it? Oh, no! Its

    Captain Hook! Run, children!

    But, noWait a minuteIts Peter Pan! Wendy is really mad.

    Captain Hook is mad too. He doesnt have his pants. He

    doesnt have his coat and he doesnt have his hat!

    2. FOCUS ON VALUES

    Discuss (in Portuguese) what Wendy would say to Peter.

    Is she right to get mad at him? And how do we feel about

    Captain Hook? Are we sorry for him? Why not? Point out that

    Captain Hook is an evil pirate, and we all laugh when we see

    the bad guys in a story tricked. Peter Pan is naughty, though!

    He hasnt been very responsible. Captain Hook is really mad

    and they are all in danger. Besides, he has really scared his

    friends Wendy and John.

    Ask the students to display the pictures of heroes and villains

    they have brought to class or use the ones provided in

    Worksheet 2.

    3. VALUES ACTIVITY WORkSHEET 2

    Ask students to color the pictures of heroes and villains at the

    bottom of the worksheet and then match them to the right

    headings (Goodies or Baddies) with a line.

    Answerkey:

    Goodies: Milo Thatch and Snow White

    Baddies: Captain Hook and Cruella de Vil.

    Ask students to look at the clothes the baddies wear. What

    color are they? Are they scary? Do the same with the pictures

    of the goodies. What color are the clothes? Are they light or

    dark colors? Are they pretty?

    Ask students to write a description of the goodies and the

    baddies and the clothes they are wearing in the spaces

    provided at the top of the worksheet.

    4. FOLLOW UP

    A Poster. If the students have brought pictures of fictional

    heroes and villains, ask questions to help them understand

    how artists help audiences tell goodies from baddies by usingspecific colors and exaggerating physical features (Captain

    Hooks moustache, Cruellas cruel eyes and red lips). Help

    them understand how in real life things are different and one

    can usually tell by someones actions and attitudes rather than

    their clothes and physical appearance.

    Invite the students to make a classroom poster grouping the

    Goodies and the Baddies as they did in Worksheet 2.

    These posters can be used for review in future lessons.

    A Role Play. Invite different groups of students to role play

    the story. They can choose clothes and props that they

    brought to class. Before they start the role play, invite each

    student to introduce his/her character and describe what he/

    she is wearing:

    Example:

    Peter Pan: Im wearing (oI have) a red coat and a big hat. Im

    Captain Hook!

    Unit 4: Its Magic Review: 3 and 4 Our World: Houses

    ObJECTIVES

    Values:

    to develop a positive awareness of social and cultural

    diversity concerning housing.

    Language:

    to review the parts of the house presented in the unit and

    types of housing: apartment, house.

    to review Wheres?and prepositions: e.g., Its under the

    bed.

    to introduce more vocabulary connected with housing: igloo,

    tepee, croft.

    Materials:

    Values Activity Worksheet 3For the follow up: Map of the world.

    1. WARM UP

    Use the pictures in Student Book pages 28 and 29 to review

    parts of the house, questions with Wheres?and elicit

    replies using vocabulary and prepositions already taught:

    T: Where are the plates?

    S: In the kitchen.

    T: Wheres the big bed?

    S: In the bedroom.

    Use the picture in Review Units 3 and 4 and the plans of their

    bedrooms which students have drawn for the review activity(page 32 question 2). Ask more questions.

    T: Where is the chair in your bedroom?

    S: On the floor.

    T: Where are the books?

    S: On the table.

    Use the photos of houses from the Our World section to

    ask questions (Use Portuguese freely to clarify anything the

    children dont understand):

    T: Is this a house?

    S: No, its an apartment.

    T: What do you like about these photos?

    S: (variety of answers)T: Would you like to live in one of these houses?

    S: (variety of answers)

    T: What is your favorite room in your house?

    S: (variety of answers)

    2. FOCUS ON VALUES

    The aim of this activity is to focus on the diversity of houses found

    both in the students cultural setting and in other countries.

    The picture in Review Units 3 and 4 pages 32 and 33 shows

    a child who has his own bedroom, and the pictures in Unit 4

    show the luxurious accommodation of princes and princesses

    in the world of fantasy. Maybe your students have to sharetheir bedrooms with brothers or sisters. Maybe they have no

    independent bedroom but sleep on a bed in any of the rooms

    of the house. Probably their houses look very different from

    those shown in the book and they are also quite different

    from other houses in the same town or city.

    Draw the childrens attention to this diversity. Tell them

    we are all different, making sure you discourage any

    negative comments on other peoples lifestyle. If they feel

    uncomfortable about sharing their rooms with brothers or

    sisters, for example, discuss with the class whether it can also

    be fun. Take this opportunity to highlight the fact that having

    ones own home, filling it with our most precious possessions

    and favorite furniture is one of each persons greatestexpectations in life and they will be able to do this in future.

    3. VALUES ACTIVITY WORkSHEET 3

    Your students probably have seen pictures of traditional

    houses in magazines and in films or on television. Draw their

    attention to the pictures in the Worksheet and ask them to

    match the pictures to the descriptions. Tell them in the past

    people lived in traditional houses like these. In fact, some

    people still build and live in houses like these.

    Discuss the answers and get the learners to write the right

    number in the boxes.

    Answerkey:

    1 c tepee; 2 a igloo; 3 b croft

    On a separate sheet of paper, ask the children to draw

    pictures of different houses in their area (or to cut out pictures

    from magazines of similar houses, or even take photos of

    houses and bring them to class). Help them write a brief

    description of the house under each picture.

    This is an apartment. Its small. Its in(neighborhood, part of

    a city, etc)

    This is a big house. It has 5 bedrooms.etc.

    This is a farm house. Its in the country.

    4. FOLLOW UP

    Mini-Project. You can start a project on different types of

    traditional houses and where they are found. Ask students

    to find pictures of different houses in magazines or on the

    Internet. Make a classroom poster with the pictures and brief

    descriptions of the houses written by the learners. Take this

    opportunity to explore typical housing of the lesser known parts

    of Brazil and of native peoples and to compare houses from the

    colder parts and from the warmer parts of the country.

    Place houses on a map. Bring a big map of the world to

    class and ask students to indicate on the map where the

    different types of houses can be found. You may like to work

    with the Portuguese grade teacher on the project.

    Unit 1: Two Worlds

    ObJECTIVES

    Values:

    to develop tolerance and respect for ones own and others

    physical characteristics.

    Language:

    to review the language of physical description

    to present more adjectives and nouns to describe people:

    young, thin, slim, etc.

    Materials

    Ask students to bring pictures of different traditional peoplessuch as those living in the Amazon region. Bring some

    yourself in case students forget. Make sure you have a

    picture of Native Americans, male and female, in traditional

    clothes.

    1. WARM UP

    Use the pictures on pages 6, 8 and 9 of the Student Book to

    review the characters from Pocahontas. Elicit a description

    of both John Smith and Pocahontas (in English). Teach new

    words as they become necessary.

    Pocahontas has long black hair and big brown eyes. She is

    slim, with long arms and long legs. John Smith is young, talland strong. He has long, blond hair and blue eyes.

    Note: You may want to use the English AdventureVideo/DVD

    4 Episode 1: Hes a robot! to elicit the description above.

    Use the picture of Native Americans from Student Book page

    11 to revise vocabulary and for a more detailed description of

    the traditional clothes.

    These are Native Americans like Pocahontas. The man has

    long, black hair. He wears beads and feathers in his hair. He

    has paint on his face. The woman has big earrings. There are

    feathers in her hair too. The man and the woman have plaits.

    2. FOCUS ON VALUES

    Pocahontas and John Smith are examples of the diversity

    of physical features found on our planet. They belong to

    two different cultures that came together in the American

    continent a long time ago.

    Conduct a survey in your class to record how many children

    have brown/black hair and eyes, how many have blond

    hair and blue/green eyes. Are there any redheads? Draw

    a table on the board and get the children to count so you

    can complete the table with their data. The table may look

    something like this:

    Blackhair

    Brownhair

    Redhair

    Blondhair

    Blackeyes

    Browneyes

    As you collect the data from the children, make sure you

    work on any negative comments or attitudes that may be

    expressed in relation to specific physical characteristics such

    as color or type of hair. Point out that we are all different and

    that makes us all special.

    3. VALUES ACTIVITY WORkSHEET 4

    The students complete the worksheet with descriptions of

    Pocahontas and John Smith. Write any vocabulary you think

    will be useful on the board for quick reference.

    Point out that Native Americans like Pocahontas lived in North

    America before English people like John Smith arrived there

    from Europe.

    Encourage the students to find out more about the native

    populations of Brazil or other parts of the world. Form small

    groups of four or five students and assign each group one

    of the native peoples in the worksheet. Ask them to find

    pictures and research information to bring the following class.

    They may complete exercise 2 in the worksheet either for

    homework or in class the next day.

    4. FOLLOW UP

    Place communities on a map. Bring a map of the world

    (or a map of Brazil if you restrict it to your country) to

    class and ask students to locate where their chosen native

    communities live (you may want to invite the Portuguese

    grade teacher to participate of this activity).

    Mae a poster. If the students have brought enough

    visuals ask them to contribute those left over from activity

    2 towards making a giant poster with drawings, pictures or

    photos with short descriptions. The poster can be used for

    review in future classes.

    Class project. Form groups of five or six students and

    assign a native people to each. Brainstorm ways of doing

    research (library, magazines/ books at home, Internet

    searches, interviewing an expert, etc.) and what they would

    like to know about these peoples (apart from their physical

    characteristics). For example, they may want to find out

    what sort of foods they ate, what sports or games they

    played, etc. Each group collects information and visuals and

    prepares a short presentation for the rest of the class.

    Unit 4: Im better today!

    ObJECTIVES

    Values:

    to reflect on how we can help and support others when they

    are in need or not feeling well

    Language:

    to review language used when you are not feeling well:

    Whats the matter? I have a sore throat.

    to review language for giving advice and orders: Go home

    and get some rest.

    1. WARM UP

    Use the pictures in the Student Book to review the language

    for the unit.

    T: Whats the matter?

    S: He doesnt feel well. He has a sore throat and a cough.

    T: What can he do?

    S: Go home and get some rest.

    You can also exploit the comic book story on page 28:

    T: Whats the matter with Rex?

    S: He has a sore throat.

    2. FOCUS ON VALUES

    Unit 4 shows several examples of supportive behavior like

    Bo Peep worrying about Rex and asking the sheep to bring

    him some water. You can also find extraordinary examples of

    generosity and support in Dr. Red Nose and Patch Adams on

    page 31 Fun Facts, Laughing is healthy!

    Once you complete work on the unit, draw the students

    attention to what all these situations have in common: people

    helping others, giving them support, cooperating to make

    someone feel better.

    Ask them to imagine a classmate is sick and cant come to

    school. What can they do to show support?

    Elicit things like phone him, send him an get well e-card (or

    printed card), keep in touch by email or phone, let him know

    what the class is working on, what homework theyve been

    given, etc.)

    3. VALUES ACTIVITY WORkSHEET 5

    Ask students to look at situations 1 to 3 on the worksheet.

    These show people who need help. Ask the students to

    suggest ways in which they could help and write some of

    their suggestions on the board, e.g.,

    T: Im feeling sad.

    S: (We can) invite him to play with us. Keep him company.

    Listen! Write a note or send an e-card to cheer him up.

    Next, ask each student to write some suggestions on the

    worksheet. Then invite them to share their suggestions withthe whole class. Teach vocabulary as appropriate.

    Brainstorm situations at school where help or support are

    needed. Is there anything they can do in these situations?

    Elicit responses from sudents.

    Although it is very likely that the students will reply in

    Portuguese, help those who try in English and write any

    language they may need to make their point on the board.

    Next, invite the students to complete the worksheet with any

    of these situations and what they would do to help.

    4. FOLLOW UP

    Good deed of the day. Putting some of these ideasinto practice would definitely give students a sense of

    achievement. Invite the students to observe their classmates

    or other people around them and identify someone who

    needs help or support with something. Then invite them to

    try to help. A few days later, you may want to check with

    them that they have each done their good deed. Some

    students may want to relate their experience of supporting

    a friend (without revealing names!), or being supported, to

    the class. Help them do this in Portuguese if they want to,

    but accept English too. Remember the main purpose of the

    activity is to work on values.
