Footbal History The contemporary history of the world's favorite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed - becoming the sport's first governing body. Both codes stemmed from a common root and both have a long and intricately branched ancestral tree. A search down the centuries reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, and to which the historical development of football has been traced back. Whether this can be justified in some instances is disputable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that people have enjoyed kicking a ball about for thousands of years and there is absolutely no reason to consider it an aberration of the more 'natural' form of playing a ball with the hands. On the contrary, apart from the need to employ the legs and feet in tough tussles for the ball, often without any laws for protection, it was recognized right at the outset that the art of controlling the ball with the feet was not easy and, as such, required no small measure of skill. The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise from a military manual dating back to the second and third centuries BC in China. http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/game/historygame1.html

The King Pelé Pele (born 1940), called "the Black Pearl," was the greatest soccer player in the history of the game. With a career total of 1,280 games, he may have been the world's most popular athlete. Edson Arantes Do Nascimento Pele, who took the name Pele, was born October 23, 1940, in Três Corações, Brazil, the son of a soccer player. His father's coaching paid off, for when he was 11 he played for his first soccer team, that of the town of Bauru, Brazil. He moved up in competition with outstanding play, and when he was 15 he was playing for the team from the village of Santos. He soon received broader exposure when he was loaned to the Vasco da Gama team in Rio de Janeiro. In 1958 he went to Stockholm, Sweden to compete in the World Cup championship. His play there helped his country win its first title. He returned to Santos, and his team went on to win six Brazilian titles. In 1962 he again played on the World Cup team, but an injury forced him to sit out the contest. Soccer is a low scoring game, but on November 19, 1969, before a crowd of 100,000 in Rio de Janeiro, Pele scored his 1,000th goal. He was not only a high scorer, but a master of ball handling as well. It seemed that the ball was somehow attached to his feet as he moved down the field. http://www.bookrags.com/biography/pele/ 1.

Working in pairs or groups of three people, make your own dialog using will and going to, can be anything you want
78
Going to is used when you have decided to do something, or you intend to do it: A: Are you going to watch the late movie on TV tonight? B: No, I’m going to have an early night. A: I hear Sarah has won some money. What is she going to do with it? B: She’s going to buy a new car.
You can also say something that is going to happen in the future, for example: The man can’t see the wall in front of him. He is going to walk into the wall. When we say that ‘something is going to happen’, the situation now makes this clear. The man is walking towards the wall now, so we can see that he is going to walk into it.
Will future expresses a spontaneous decision, an assumption with regard to the future or an action in the future that cannot be influenced.
Use of will Future a spontaneous decision
example: Wait, I will help you. an opinion, hope, uncertainty or assumption regarding the future

Indeed, the competition, started again by Jules Rimet in 1946 after a total stop of the activities of FIFA during the second World war, was organized that year in Brazil, the only applicant country to the event, in a bloodthirsty world. In that occasion, the Brazilian State decided to construct a gigantic stadium, imagined by the architects Raphaël Galvão and Pedro Paulo Bernardes Bastos, the world’s largest stadium, and for a long time, considered capable to accomodate 200.000 people. Actually, the exact maximum capacity is unknown. Brazil asserts to be more than 200.000, the Guinness Book allots 180.000 of them, others quote approximately 155.000. The first stone of the stadium was placed on August 2, 1948, when Maracanã stadium was born.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, music, and dance. It was created in Brazil by slaves from Africa by mixing the many fighting styles from many of their tribes, sometime after the sixteenth century. It was developed in the region of Quilombo dos Palmares, located in the Brazilian state of Alagoas, which was the state of Pernambuco before dismemberment, and has had great influence on Afro-Brazilian generations, with strong presence in the states of Bahia, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro and S達o Paulo. The sparring is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, takedowns, and with extensive use of leg sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. Less frequently used techniques include elbow strikes, slaps, punches, and body throws. Its origins and purpose are a matter of debate, with theories ranging from views of Capoeira as a uniquely Brazilian folk dance with improvised fighting movements to claims that it is a battle-ready fighting form directly descended from ancient African techniques. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira

SOCCER 1- Antes de ler o texto você pode fazer algumas perguntas sobre o q eles sabem sobre a história do futebol e também se conhecem alguns jogadores que hoje são ícones ou lendas do esporte, junto disso você pode mostrar algumas imagens de alguns deles se conhecerem poucos ou nenhum. 2- Sobre a curiosidade sobre o Pelé você pode pedir para ele fazerem uma pequena pesquisa de para casa, no próximo dia de aula discutir os resultados da pesquisa de cada um dos alunos. BRAZILIAN BEACHES
1- Nesta parte há um texto sobre o clima as praias brasileiras e seu clima durante o ano e o primeiro exercício são para que os alunos façam um parágrafo ou uma pequena composição sobre o clima de alguns estados que eles gostam ou que já viajaram. Antes de fazer esse parágrafo, seria interessante fazer uma discussão sobre o clima no Brasil e também de outros países.
PLACES OF THE CITY 1- Ao começar esta parte da unidade haverá um texto sobre o maracanã, o que possibilita fazer a seguinte pergunta, “qual é o maior estádio do mundo hoje?” e ver
109
qual será a resposta dos alunos e com isso pedir pra que façam uma pesquisa sobre isso mais como uma curiosidade. E no decorrer desta parte você pode pedir para que eles façam um peno mapa do bairro em que cada um deles mora. 2- Antes do listening peça para que os alunos prestem atenção nas cidades ao fundo do vídeo e depois pergunte a eles quais desses locais eles gostariam de viajar ou ir em uma excursão da escola.
CAPOEIRA Utilize do pre-reading para ver quanto eles sabem sobre a capoeira e em quais locais ela tem mais expressão no Brasil e se algum deles conhece algum desses locais que a nossa arte marcial aparece mais. E uma outra pergunta interessante de se fazer é se algum deles já teve a experiência de jogar capoeira. Se você conseguir seria muito legal fazer uma excursão para uma “academia” onde se tem aulas de capoeira para que os alunos vejam ao vivo como é jogada a capoeira. PARTS OF THE HOUSE Antes de fazer o exercício de prepositions of place seria interessante fazer um jogo como uma forca com frases que englobassem essas preposições de lugar e também pedir para que eles imaginassem como seria o quarto ideal deles. SPORTS Nessa parte da unidade seria interessante começar pedindo para que os alunos façam uma lista dos esportes que eles conhecem e também dos esportes que eles mais gostam de praticar. E pedindo para colocar todos os nomes em inglês para que eles gravassem esses nomes que muitas vezes são muito diferentes do português.
