INTRODUCTION

This unit is about a well-known period known as Apartheid and a very important person in relation to this period, Nelson Mandela.

After this, to finish this session, we will do an activity online, a wordsearch, in www. learningapps.org

https://learningapps.org/display?v=p4w9fipw217

 

SESSION TWO.

In order to help students learn about Apartheid and Nelson Mandela, they will listen to a text. Apart from listening to it, they will answer the questions of a quiz online.  The link to both the listening and the online quiz is http://www.ducksters.com/history/civil_rights/apartheid.php.

In this link students also have the written text. Therefore, once they have completed the quiz, they can listen to the text at the same time they read it. 

 

After this listening activity, students will do an investigation task.  In pairs, they will visit the following website (https://study.com/academy/lesson/south-african-apartheid-laws-lesson-for-kids.html) and they will have to write a summary about some of the laws that were passed during Apartheid. Finally, they will have to explain how they would feel in case they had to obey these laws.

 

SESSION THREE.

Once the topic of Apartheid has been introduced and dealt with, we will start with a new topic: Nelson Mandela.

First, students will work in groups. They will have to match the two halves of ten sentences.

Once they have done this activity, they can check their answers while watching a short documentary about Nelson Mandela: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNSxCMIU09g

 

The fact that students work on sentences related to the video before watching it can be considered as scaffolding.

 

SESSION FOUR.

Firstly, students will read the text in Worksheet 3. After reading it, they will complete the timeline that is provided in the same document.

 

Secondly, the students work in pairs. They must talk and express their opinion about the following question: What would you do on Mandela Day?
