to Hi, dear friend, Welcome to 6th grade where you’ll have wonderful new learning experiences in your native tongue and in English, too!

We invite you to discover, think, do and create in English as you work individually, in pairs, in small teams or with all your classmates in situations where you will exchange personal information, ask and understand what others want and need; talk about expectations you all have; learn how to ask for clarification when not understanding something and the best part of all, is seeing your own progress at learning and using English and helping others in their learning process, too!

During this school year, you will also read and enjoy different fictional texts where your imagination can take you to invent new situations and create stories to share and enjoy with others. You will also read informative texts about other places and cultures to learn and even compare experiences, traditions, legends and many other interesting facts especially in countries where English is the official language.

So prepare yourself to discover, think, do and create in English as you go along Beats! 6 enjoying learning, working and sharing in and out of the classroom what you can do in, and with English,at your own rhythm and beat!

Lots of luck and fun!

not a test; it is a the ending task in every unit that invites you to think about and reflect on what you’ve learned so far, see your progress and identify what you need to practice more to improve understanding and your skills at using English.

There is also a final task to share and exchange with a partner, where you will think about and reflect on how you can use what you’ve learned in your daily life and in different situations to the ones presented in your book.

VReading V time, invites you

to read along a specific story or fact in your Reader’s book which is correlated to the topic you are working on in the unit. But bear in mind that you can read the texts in your Reader’s book anytime you wish to do so without the need of waiting for a Reading time to show up in your lesson.

VV The Picture Dictionary at the end of your book illustrates the bold, highlighted words included in each unit to help improve understanding. You will find the number of the correlated page inside parenthesis, next to each word.

VV An End-of School Year diploma is the closing page in your book. This diploma is for you to build on as you finish every unit and keep a record of your progress, coloring each medal according to the following: VV Whole medal = when your performance is very good VV Color half of the medal = when you need a little more practice VV Color a small piece of the medal= when you need a lot more practice after finishing the course with a beating progress!

Many years ago, a baby son was born to a King and queen in one of the kingdoms of England.

There was war in the land and they worried that something could happen to Arthur, their baby. They decided to send the baby to a safe place. The king’s advisor, Merlin the wizard, took him away to his friend William’s family who had a farm. “Don’t pamper Arthur”, he told them. “He needs to grow up strong. Put him to work and I will come by to give him lessons”. And so, year after year, Arthur grew strong. He helped with all the chores and loved his lessons with his dear teacher, Merlin, especially when Merlin used his magic staff to explain something. Years later, when the king died, his last words to Merlin were, “help Arthur become king”. It was decided that the new king would be the winner of a tournament. Merlin sent Arthur to be a squire, he helped the knights with their shields and armour. One day coming back from the river, he saw a sword stuck in a big stone. Thinking it belonged to one of the knights, he pulled it out. Golden letters on the sword said “whoever pulls this sword from the stone is the real king of England. It was a magic sword! Everybody came running but nobody believed that he had pulled it out, so Merlin put the sword back into the stone and invited all the knights and Lords to try again. Nobody could pull it out, so Merlin asked Arthur to try once more.

Arthur pulled it out easily and everobody fell to their knees. “Long live King Arthur”, they cried. And so his new journey began. kingdom

dward, William’s oldest son took Ben and I as squires. But at the tournament, Ben bullied me. Edward made me do all the hard work; polish his armour and his shield, brush his horse, get water for his bath and get food Ben didn’t do anything. That made me feel terrible. I wished I had Merlin’s staff so I could do everything with a swoosh! Then the next day, Ben pushed me out of the tent, “go get water from the river”, he shouted. I took a big bucket and walked to the river. There was a pretty girl getting water too. Her smile was sweet and she asked my name, I told her I was Arthur, “I’m Guinevere, which noble family is yours?”

I couldn’t tell her the truth, so I said I was Edward’s squire. She looked sad, but was still nice to me. We walked back together talking and laughing until she went to her tent.

As I continued, I saw a rock with something sticking out of it, it was a beautiful sword!

Some squires were watching. Merlin had told me, “ Arthur, if you find anything strange, do what your heart tells you”. So, I pulled the sword out. The squires ran away shouting and before long everyone was around me looking angry. I looked at the sword, It had a shiny long blade with a silver handle with golden letters that said “whoever pulls this sword from the stone, is the rightful king of England. Suddenly, Merlin was there, calming the knights and Lords. He put the sword back into the stone and told everyone to try pulling it again.They all tried, even Ben!, but the sword wouldn’t move. So, he turned to me and told me to try. “He’s just a servant”, yelled Ben. And I got the courage to try again and it slipped right out with a swoosh. And so, here I am. I hope Merlin comes back soon. I never found Guinevere, she probably still thinks I’m a squire.

Dancing in all cultures is of great importance. It is an activity where everyone joins in, bonds and most of all keeps people connected to their culture. It helps with physical fitness, coordination, and it’s a lot of fun! In Mexico there is a dance named Jarabe tapatio where woman wear beautiful dresses that look like butterflies when they twirl around. In India they dance a style of dance named Odissi, where they imitate the gods. In Australia they have Boosh dancing, a mix of Irish and British folklore dance.

How can you share your culture with others?

1.

Food and dance are culture, but what about sports? Do you think sports can represent a culture? Why? Share your ideas as a class. Then, look at these pictures. How many differences can you find? Share them with the group.

Rugby : 15 players

2.

American football: 11 players

Read the text. Then read the underlined words and determine how these words describe the pictures. Discuss with your classmates.

In Australia the national sport is rugby. It is a contact sport because as you can see, they tackle each other to stop the ball from moving forward. There is another game called American football which is very similar. It is played in the United states. The idea, in both games is to score more points than the other team. There are a lot of similarities to American football, but, take a closer look! They don’t use any helmets.

In fact they don’t wear any safety gear. You can only pass the ball to another teammate at the side or behind you, never in front of you. This seems strange.

Just too exciting! Oh. No! there are too many defensive players! Ochoa needs to pass it to someone! Who? But here comes Little Pea on the right, takes the pass and shoots straight to the goal… Goooooool!

Oh… oh! What genius! What a team! What a golden goal!… unbelievable!

Mike: For those of you who just turned on your televisions, this is the end of the Mexican Baseball League. Here we are, at the end of September and it has been a wild ride. And it’s still hot here in Monterrey.

Ted: This championship game between the Sultans and the Red Devils is worth it. This is the seventh game and they are tied 3-3. It’s really exciting!

Mike: So, what happened while I was gone, Ted? Ted: Well, we are nearing the end of game; we are at the end of the ninth inning. The Sultans are batting and all the bases are full and loaded. The game is still 4-4 and the crowd is going wild! Everyone is standing on this hot, sunny day. This is amazing!

Mike: Yes, it’s so exciting! But tense, you can cut the air with a knife.

Ted: Here comes Rodríguez to the plate, ready to bat. Oh my Gosh! This is too intense!

Mike: The pitcher comes up to the mound. He gives the catcher a signal and he pitches…

Ted: This is it, Mike. That ball is going out of the stadium. Wow! Look at that ball go!

Mike: It going, going, gone! Incredible! Unbelievable!

Ted: The players are not even running from base to base, this is one of the best home runs I’ve seen.

Mike: The Sultans! The new National Champions!

Reyes passes to Alonzo, Alonso passes it back, it seems they are dancing….

Brave takes it back! He lifts the ball. Blanco jumps to try and stop it but … it’s a goal! Goal! Goal! What a start to the game! America United is up by one.

There come the Blue Cross players. Pardo is running down the left field and passes it to Little Pea. Full concentration! Little Pea passes to Simansky and there’s a penalty, penalty!

Carlos Miguel has two friends, Billy Jones from the USA and Julian Lee from England. He communicates with them by internet. “Ask your grandparents about their childhood,” he told them.

Julian’s grandparents told him that when they were going to school in the 1950s, all students had to wear a uniform. They even had to wear a tie! Kids wore uniforms to school since the 1600 and 1700s. It has been a long tradition. It is still the same, but the uniforms aren’t so formal.

Billy’s grandparents went to public school in the US in the 1950s and they never wore a uniform.

“We didn’t even have schools in the 1700s We were a new nation.

The first American public schools that taught academic subjects were opened in the 1930s and they definitely did not wear uniforms “Only kids that went to private schools wore uniforms and to this day, nobody in public schools wears them.

The first minister of education José Vasconcelos started obligatory public education in Mexico but uniforms were not obligatory. In Mexico, uniforms weren’t obligatory in elementary schools until the late 1950s. “I liked them, it was much better because you didn’t ruin your clothes”, his grandpa explained. Students in Mexico still wear uniforms in public schools and most private schools.

Report on Professions What do they really do?

By Carmen Miranda I asked different people about their professions. I also asked kids who knew them.

Teacher: Prof. Daniel Basurto.

I believe that I help students to get knowledge and skills. I try to encourage and inspire them so that they do their best. You see, school isn’t only about academic learning, it’s also about social learning and I hope that I have a positive effect on them.

His students: He makes the classes fun and he is funny. He listens to us and he always tells us how well we are doing. He says things like” Good job”. He makes us want to learn.

Veterinarian: Vet. Angelina Martinez.

Well, my profession is great! I treat all kinds of pets and farm animals too. I do what doctors and dentists do for humans I also teach owners how to prevent problems for their animals.

Her clients: She is incredible with my Flossy. It’s almost like she can understand what the dog is saying. She also has a staff who bathe them and cut their hair.

Nurse: Francisco Gomez: Well here at school I take care of kids when they aren’t feeling well and call your parents. At the hospital I carry out the doctor’s’ instructions, care for patients, and give them their medicines.

A student: Our nurse is incredible; he calls our parents and makes sure we are ok at school.

Sometimes, when we have the flu shot campaigns, he gives us a lollipop.

Biological farming is becoming very popular and important. These biologists believe that we have to maintain a balance between the three aspects of the soil; the physical, chemical and biological to sustain life.

These scientists believe that the growing amount of cancer and other children’s diseases is linked to how we are treating

our eco-systems. We now know that we have caused damage by using pesticides in the past and we need to be careful of how we treat our farms today.

Agricultural biologists work with agricultural engineers and farmers to find the best natural organic fertilizers that have millions of organisms which recycle nutrients in the soil that sustain life.

Scientists are promoting classes for people to understand that the food they eat must come from soil that is nutritious and healthy so that we all can be healthy.

Mr. Basurto: Good morning kids. Today we have received new safety guidelines for the school and new signs to put up.

1.

Let’s start at the beginning, how you get to school.

For those of you who walk to school, stay on the sidewalk! Cross to school only at school crossings. Don’t bring cell phones to school. If parents or visitors need to talk to me they must register at the front desk.

2. Now, about the hallways, we know that they are a bit narrow, so make sure that you always walk, don’t run, don’t push, don’t eat or drink in the hallways. If there’s an earthquake, you still need to walk. You can eat in the playground at recess.

3. In the playground, listen to and respect the teachers on duty. Follow their instructions the first time they give them. The playground is a ‘No Bullying’ area. Respect your schoolmates. Only play in the designated areas. If a ball or something goes out of the area, one student should go for it. After the bell rings walk back to your classrooms, don’t run. Don’t litter the playground.

4. If the earthquake and fire alarm goes off, follow the instructions on the signs to the emergency exit as we do when we have a drill. Get out of your desks, walk calmly to the hallway and follow the instructions on the walls. We will discuss this more later.

• What kind of messages does Mr. Basurto share?

Natural disasters during the last 30 years in Mexico have taught us that is is very important to be prepared for any type. Students in schools today have fire and earthquake drills.

Thanks to modern technology we know when a hurricane is going to land up to a week before it actually happens. We even know exactly

where the most damage will take place. Local governments know when it’s best to send an emergency radio broadcast to save lives. The national earthquake alarm will give you up to a minute to get out of a building before an earthquake hits. We can not predict fires but we can know how to act in case of one.

This is a radio broadcast alert. Hurricane Veronica will be hitting the west coast of Mexico between Cuyutlán and San Juan de Alina in 7 hours. This is a mandatory evacuation announcement. Go to your closest shelter. Shelters are open in Colima and buses leave every hour. This is not a drill. Be aware of flash floods and severe floods. Some areas may experience mudslides. Follow the emergency evacuation signs. I repeat this is not a drill.
