 SESSION 1: DYGESTIVE SISTEM POSTER (1 hour)

1. What do students already know? Firstly, we have to check student's background knowledge -> Questions and K W L

what we Know

what we  Want to know

what we Learned

 

2. In groups of six students, we will give each member of the group a piece of paper with the name and function of a different organ of the digestive system.

3. Subsequently, each student in the group has to read the assigned text and all the others have to enter in a data table the name of the organ and the function.

4. Once all they have finished, card boards will be distributed to design a graphic (poster) of the digestive system.

SESSION 2: JOURNEY OF FOOD (1 hour)

- In pairs, the students will read a text about the journey of food through the human digestive system.

- Then, they have to answer some questions about the text such as: "How long does digestion takes?" "How long does food take to go through your digestive system?" "In which organ does food take more time?" (The answers to these questions will be supported by an appropriate scaffolding. We can offer a vocabulary bank too).

SESSION 3: FACIAL EXPRESSIONS (1 hour)

- Once the students see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utZr0dPu5sk they start to walk through the classroom. One of them stop in front of another and have to ask: "What is this emotion?", and the other one have to answer: "That emotion is…"

SESSION 4: HEALTHY HABITS CARDS (1 hour)

- Each group of six students have to draw pictures and make cards with healthy habits: hygiene, exercising, rest, balanced diet… The cards need to include at least one sentence and two or three pictures. Example: Brush your teeth after every meal.

- To assign a topic to each group, we can make a draw or something similar.

- When they finish, they have to expose to the rest of the class what their poster consists of.

- Lately, we can display all the cards on the corridor walls.
