Brief description: The students will work in groups of four.They will decide the place where they are going to travel and then they will do some research to get to know about it.After that,they will make a poster with photos and brief explanations to describe them.Finally they will make a trip plan that will include the activities they are going to do every day,and they will make a presentation in front of the class.They will be told to take into account the country’s customs when they arrange the trip(shops’ timetables,meal times,local time or public holidays). Lesson procedures: (step-‐by-‐step) Warming up. -‐ Brainstorming. ( 5 minutes) To begin with the teacher is going to ask the students what comes to their minds when they hear the word “holiday” and all the words related to holidays will be written on the blackboard. Tell the students they are going to work in groups of four to plan a holiday.Making groups (5 minutes) Ask them to decide where they are going to travel-‐they will need to negotiate in order to make a decision.(5 minutes) Now it’s time they start working. They will be told that by the end of the project they will have made a poster and a trip plan that they will present to the class. They can use computers to find out some information about the place they chose.(landmarks,climate,traditions,customs).They will also choose some pictures that they will use for their poster. ( 20 minutes)

It’s time they start making the poster.They will decide what is the most relevant information they want to use. (30 minutes) Once the poster is finished,they will imagine that they are given the chance to travel to the place they’ve chosen,but before they leave they should make a trip plan that shows what they plan to do every day.The teacher makes them reflect about the tense they will need in order to accomplish their task.Everybody must use the future “be going to”.(5 or 8 minutes) Students make the arrangements for their trip taking into account the country’s customs,traditions,food and currency.They could even check for flights so that they learn how we book flights online.(30 minutes) Finally,the groups decide who is going to present each part and they do their presentations.They can use their posters to help them explain.(if there are 6 groups,30 minutes) Assessment: The teacher will take into account the students’ attitude towards their tasks,the poster,the Trip plan and the students’ presentations. Special Directions for Cooperative Grouping The students will work in groups of four.It would be suitable that all the students in the groups were good at different skills(art,ICT,Oral and writing competence in English) so all of them feel that they are good at something.

Lesson Plan 9 Teacher’s name: Marta Olivé Manté School: Institut Domus d’Olivet Lesson Name: Wochenende in Berlin (Weekend in Berlin) Subject: German Level: 4st of ESO/1st Batxillerat Time Allotted: 12 hours +homework (about one month within a trimester) Pedagogies used: -‐
PBL
-‐
Co-‐operative learning through work in groups and e-‐twinning
Competences taught -‐
Communication in foreign languages.
-‐
Digital competence.
-‐ Learning to learn. -‐ social and civic competencies -‐ Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship. -‐ Cultural awareness and expression Objectives: The aim of the lesson/project is that students plan a weekend in Berlin and describe it in a blog as if it had happened in reality. All materials must be written in German. They will work in groups of 4-‐5. It would be interesting to carry out the project in co-‐operation with a school of a foreign country where students also have German as a Secondary Foreign Language (e-‐twinning
27
project). The various “Weekend Plans” are presented and voted by the participants so that an “Ideal Weekend” can be defined.
Prior knowledge of students: -‐
Vocabulary about days of the week, telling the time, describe places in a city, vocabulary about feelings…
-‐ The verbs indicating movement and direction (with “akkusativ”) -‐ The present and past tenses (at least one or two years of German Language are needed before starting the activity). Resources/materials needed: (i.e. computer lab, worksheets, OHP…) -‐Blackboard or whiteboard for the teachers -‐One computer/laptop per group (camera/video recorder for specific sessions) -‐One computer for videoconferencing in the e-‐twinning sessions Brief description: (see objectives above) Lesson procedures: As this is quite a long project, its concretion must be further enhanced, also depending on the number of schools involved (ideally only two). The following are only some ideas: First session: Explanation of the project and organization of groups Sessions 2 to 8: Work in groups. In session 3 or 4 there could be a videoconference with the other school with students sharing ideas on accommodation. It could be done with a padlet (padlet.com) where students write options they have found -‐-‐ including prices, address, facilities of the place, etc.; the ideas on accommodation can be voted so that a decision can be made for the whole project. Some ideas for the work within these 7 lessons:
-‐
Develop a travel dictionary with useful sentences to use at the airport, hostel, when looking for a place, in a restaurant, etc.
-‐
Look for the details of possible accommodation (youth hostels for instance) and transfer to/from the airport to the hostel. 28
-‐
The conditions for all participants are that the plane leaves Barcelona on Friday afternoon and comes back from Berlin on Sunday evening. Each group makes a plan for Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning. Each group has to indicate the places to visit, places to eat, define the itinerary, etc. It is compulsory to consecrate Saturday to the learning/cultural activities (visiting museums and historic places for instance) and Sunday morning to leisure activities.
-‐
Each group must develop a Blog and write a detailed Weekend-‐Plan.
-‐
The students (of both schools) will vote the best plan for Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and thus define altogether the “Ideal Weekend”
-‐
Once the Ideal Weekend has been decided each group has to write a report of the trip (as if the weekend had happened in reality). The description can be accompanied by videos, photos of the students there (fake), and it should also include invented histories (for instance explaining things that could happen… like loosing the luggage at the airport, meeting a mysterious person on the street telling stories about him/her, etc., falling in love with a german…).
Sessions 10-‐12: Presentation and evaluation -‐
The blogs will be the result of the project. Blogs will be presented to the classroom and then voted by students of both schools (survey monkey, polleverywhere….)
Assessment: The evaluation will include attitudinal aspects (working in groups, sharing the work to do…) and evaluation of the final project (the blog) Special Directions for Cooperative Grouping The students will form the groups themselves but a “correction” can be made by the teacher, with the agreement of the students, in order to have balanced groups (groups that include students with all competencies: ICT, oral competence, written competence, imagination/creativity…).
