LESSON 6

 Lesson 6: Plants are important! 

Objectives: Creation of a common newspaper with everybody’s articles

Key competences: Personal, social and learning-to-learn competence, cultural awareness competence and expression and linguistic communication competence.

Materials: Flipsnack and video: can you imagine a world without plants?. See annex.

This class will be dedicated to the importance of plants and the process of photosynthesis.

First, the teacher will play a video: about how the world would be without plants and another one about the importance and uses of plants. The first video (material 6, in annex 1) shows different drawings of children, so children can feel identified. 

Right after this, the students will be told to create a newspaper article individually for a newspaper about the importance of plants. For doing that the students will use “Flipsnack” (material 7, annex 1), which is a website that provides free editable newspaper templates in a large number of formats.The article should not be too long, so they will have 30 minutes to write it. Once they have finished, they will upload its article to google classroom. The last 15 minutes will be dedicated to teach them how the newspaper is going to be organized, to choose together the title of the newspaper.

The next day, the teacher will collect all the articles and show them the eco-friendly newspaper they have created.
