Presentazione

Le prove Invalsi di lingua inglese monitorano le competenze linguistiche raggiunte dai bambini e dalle bambine al termine della scuola primaria. Le attività proposte come test si incentrano sulla comprensione di testi orali e scritti di livello A1. Tuttavia, le consegne, i tempi e le procedure di svolgimento degli esercizi di Listening e di Reading sono particolari e specifiche di questo tipo di prove per cui è di fondamentale importanza allenare la classe ad affrontarle in modo autonomo e sicuro.

Il volume è composto da:

• Quattro prove originali progettate secondo lo stile Invalsi. Le prove propongono testi orali e scritti che rispettano il livello atteso (A1) e la procedura di svolgimento. I topic proposti dalle attività sono per la maggior parte relativi ai goal dell’Agenda 2030 e agli obiettivi di educazione civica per favorire un approccio integrato nello svolgimento del consueto programma scolastico e non di mera esercitazione.

• Prove ufficiali somministrate negli ultimi due anni. Le prove sono commentate in modo da aiutare i bambini e le bambine a familiarizzare con le consegne, i tempi e le tipologie degli esercizi e lasciare quindi spazio mentale all’attenzione e alla concentrazione. Inoltre, i commenti che accompagnano ogni attività sono stati pensati per favorire un approccio friendly che tranquillizzi i bambini rendendoli via via sempre più autonomi e sicuri nell’affrontare le prove stesse.

• Percorso grammaticale scaricabile online con schemi e attività che esplorano strutture che di solito non vengono affrontate nella scuola primaria, ma che tuttavia appartengono al livello A1 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per la conoscenza delle Lingue e compaiono frequentemente nelle prove Invalsi ufficiali.

• Audio per tutte le attività di Listening scaricabili tramite la app ELILINK.

• Le soluzioni e gli audioscripts sono forniti nella edizione del volume per il docente.

EARTH DAY

Read the text about Emma celebrating Earth Day at her school. Are the sentences (1-5) true, false or not given? Put a cross ( X ) in the correct box. The first one (0) is an example.

Each year, on April 22nd billions of people celebrate Earth Day to remember that we must protect our globe from pollution and deforestation. Our planet is a wonderful place, but it needs our help. At school we usually do projects or organize special events, like picking up litter in the park or building bee hives and butterfly houses. This year I have a great idea to tell everybody that plants are important. We could make seed hearts. They are easy to make. We mix water, soil and clay and we shape the mixture into little hearts and add seeds. Then we put the dry seed hearts into small paper bags. They could be an ecofriendly present for our family and friends.
