PRODUCT STAGES

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
Ask Ss to mention what a legend is, its characteristics and structure (setting, narrator, plot, climax, body and ending). Elicit different popular legends, and have Ss remember if they know different versions of the same legend. Have Ss explore the Readers book or other sources, and make predictions about the first chapter by looking at the title and images. Ss may express their ideas in Spanish because they are not able to use the structures. Provide any necessary help to motivate Ss to express their ideas in English. Ss work in groups so they can talk about legends and have them share their versions. On the board have some examples of local legends for Ss to use as reference (Excalibur, La Llorona, The Popo volcano, etc.). Have Ss tell the characteristics of the magic objects mentioned in the legends they have explored; then, look at the visuals in their books and identify the legends mentioned. Brainstorm new vocabulary and have Ss copy it for further use when talking about legends. Have Ss brainstorm well-known fairy tales, popular comic strips, or legends (The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Nahuala legend, Harry Potter, Ninjago). Then, ask them to think of objects related to them, e.g. magic spheres, a flying carpet, enchanted mirrors, different potions, magic pendants, bracelets, rings, etc. In teams Ss list different adjectives to be used in the description of magical objects. They may use a dictionary if necessary. In teams Ss choose a fairy tale or fantastic story and relate it to the main character and the object he or she has. Then, they think of all the possible adjectives and effects the object can have when using it. Have Ss choose from various options a magical object they can talk about. You can use a lottery pad including different magical objects. Do a multiple-choice exercise to describe the magic objects seen in previous lessons, e.g. The magic wand can: a) help the prince to convert animals into humans, b) help the prince to make him invisible, c) help the prince to be stronger. Give Ss a matching exercise handout to relate drawings of magic objects with a word or have them draw the object and add notes to make sure all the information is included, e.g. Name of object ____________ Material___________ Magic powers__________ Drawing__________. Organize groups and ask each of them to choose one legend or fairy tale they want to work with for the final product. In their teams Ss find the common elements (main characters, plot, climax, body, and ending) in the legend or fairy tale they have chosen. Ask Ss to design their own magic object. Ask them to reflect why they would like to have it and how they would use it. Ask Ss to write the characteristics and the description of their magical object, based on the model previously worked in stage 3. Make sure Ss mention name, material and aim. Ask Ss to illustrate the magic object they have designed and write its description. Ss exchange their texts to do peer correction. Have a competition so that the group chooses the most ingenious magic object. Have Ss read in groups somebody else's description of their magic object. Have Ss guess who the object belongs to and why. Correct mistakes in any respect when Ss read their descriptions of objects: pronunciation, correctness of vocabulary, structure and how attractive and convincing their objects seem to be. Wrap up this activity with the fact that cultures are expressed through legends according to their origin. Display the descriptions around the classroom and if time allows, Ss may make the object out of reusable materials. Invite other groups to see their magic objects collection.
