"Houses in Britain", resources for the foreign language class Título: "Houses in Britain", resources for the foreign language class.. Target: English teachers in Primary Education.

Therefore, teachers have to present in the classroom aspects related to other cultures, as the British one in this case. “Houses in Britain” is a very interesting topic for children since they are quite different from the Spanish ones. In what follows, I suggest some activities that teachers can use in the classroom and which children usually find quite funny and interesting. This topic would be taught in the sixth course of Primary Education. In relation to contents, we would talk in class about the following information: • Types of houses (with a brief characteristic about each one) • Rooms (with a brief characteristic about each one) • Differences between British houses and Spanish ones.  I   141 de 170 PublicacionesDidacticas.com  |  Nº 14 Junio 2011 After doing a “brainstorming” to know what students know about the topic, we would do a presentation using pictures of the different houses, the different rooms, and some pictures to contrast British houses with Spanish ones. This presentation would be very interactive because we would ask students questions about each picture. As any unit of work, we would give learners the input in the first session and in the second one in order to do activities about the houses in the following sessions; and we would work first in an oral way before the writing, following the natural route of learning as in our mother tongue, this is, listening, speaking, reading and writing. The objective of working about “Houses in Britain” is children to learn the main aspects about this topic and make them aware of the differences between British and Spanish culture. ACTIVITIES Activity 1 • Age group: this activity has been planned for the sixth course of Primary. • Topic: Houses in Britain. • Name: Recognition • Objective: Children recognize the new vocabulary that the teacher presented at class, and children are able to reach deductions and conclusions because of the comprehension of sentences. • Steps: - Children notice that there are fie members in the family Thompson: Laura, Mary, Lucy, Peter and John. - The teacher explains what they have to do in this activity: they have to guess in which room every member of the family is. - The teacher asks students in order to make them remember the names of the rooms. - The teacher does an example. - Children do the activity in 10 or 15 minutes (it will depend on the difficulties that they have) - During this time the teacher checks that children do the activity properly looking at their worksheets. - Checking of the results.     142 de 170 PublicacionesDidacticas.com  |  Nº 14 Junio 2011WORKSHEET MARY      PETER     LAURA     LUCY     JOHN  • Mary cooks in this room. • Peter is in the room number 4. • Laura puts wet clothing in this room. • Lucy is in the room number 3.• John sleeps in his bed. • Mary is opposite the bathroom. • Peter is in the main room of the house with sofas, chairs, and a table. • Laura is in the room number 1. • Lucy has a shower in this room. • John is opposite the living room.

The possibility of “Not sure” exists (if some groups are not sure about the sentence, one of the rests of the group will explain them the answer). -  After that, they will put each sentence in the appropriate circle. - The teacher will check that they have understood the exercise doing a demonstration and moreover, will be sure that they are talking in English during the whole activity. - After 15 minutes (approximately), we will correct each sentence. If the sentence is not true, they will have to say why.   - The stately home is very cheap. (FALSE) - The porch is the room where people sleep. (FALSE) - The garden is not very important for British people. (FALSE)   144 de 170 PublicacionesDidacticas.com  |  Nº 14 Junio 2011- Town house is the name of a room in a British house.

Therefore, teachers must provide them with knowledge about the British culture. • Own experience in the English classroom. ●    Anatomía Patológica Macroscópica de los Huesos Título: Anatomía Patológica Macroscópica de los Huesos.
