Activity 5
              • Make sure students identify the
               three stages of the study plan
               and that they understand each
               activity to be completed in
               order to create an emotionary,
               that is a text in which they can
               write their emotions after having
               read some poems.

              • An alternative to the written
               emotionary might be an oral
               emotionary they express after
               having read the poems aloud.
               If you have the means to record
               it or broadcast or present it in
               front of an audience, you and
               your students may choose an
               alternative.

              • If possible, show students a
               written emotionary so they have
               an idea of what it is expected.
               Remember, the products should
               be well done, but they may
               not be perfect examples of the
               texts suggested.
              • Ask a student to read the tasks
               out loud so they can understand
               the activities they will complete
               in order to read poems and
               create their emotionary.
              • Don’t forget to ask your students
               to go back to the chart to tick
               each activity as soon as you complete it. This gives your students a sense of accomplishment. However,
               time should not be diverted from higher priority tasks to do this, so schedule your time appropriately.
              • Check if you can use the computers at school to look for poems or give this task for homework. Try to be
               resourceful and think outside the box.
              • RB Box can either extend the current practice or provide material for developing it. If you have enough
               material, take time during the practice to go through the Reader’s Book to foster curiosity and improve
               reading skills.
              • IT box icons appear frequently in the practices with suggested websites. We recommend you visit the
               websites before the session to check whether the contents proposed are useful for your class planning
               and to anticipate questions from your students. You may also want to let them explore the websites freely.
               These suggestions are not essential for developing the social practice of language, since we know Internet
               connection may not be available at all locations.
              • Use this opportunity to explain the following:

               -  What the Internet is: a global network that consists of a system of documents (textual, graphic or
                 audiovisual) connected to websites.

               -  What is a hyperlink: the connection between one place and another on the Web which can appear as a
                 word or an icon.
