Design 5 activities for a classroom in which there are 3 gifted
students, 4 ADHD, and 3 students repeating grade.
Ice-breaker/Warm-up Activity: Moving Train
·
Students
will be divided in four groups (7-7-7-7) and placed in four chair-lines, like
train wagoons. The teacher will provide them with three vocabulary ítems related
to sport activities and equipment, one of which will be an odd one (for
instance, if we have tennis, racket,
googles: googles will be the
unrelated one). As for the procedure, students will have to identify the odd item
and those who answer correctly will advance towards the front possitions of the
train. The game will consist of five rounds. The winners will be the students
who, having answered correctly first, sit in the first row of each “train”.
Vocabulary & Speaking Activity: Films & genres
·
Students
will be provided with 8 pictures from different films. First, they will try to
guess what genre the film belongs to, secondly, in pairs (or groups of 3), one
of the members of the group will choose a picture and will be expected to explain
it to the rest of the group in order for them to find out what the film is.
Gifted students will be handed out extra vocabulary (producer, director, camera man, make-up artist, script-writer, actor, actress, stunt-man) on the film production staff for them to be able to develop
further the explanation of the film they have chosen. Students with ADHD will
be equally handed out support vocabulary to facilitate the completion of the
former task.

Grammar &
Speaking Activity: some, any, no + indefinite pronouns
·
The
teacher will create a dialogue with gaps and the students will have to fill the
gaps according to the communicative situation. In affirmative, interrogative
and negative sentences, they will have to choose the appropriate quantifier
that suits the sentence better. Afterwards they will have to practise the
dialogue paying special attention to pronunciation. For those students showing
difficulty in fulfilling the task, we will provide them with the multiple choices
(a-b). As for the gifted students, they will be required to fill the gaps, and
besides, continue the dialogue with their own words once they have finished,
making use of quantifiers and indefinite pronouns.
Writing Activity: Marketing Activity
·
Students
will be asked to write a description of a music CD that they would like to sell
on internet (Wallapop, Ebay, Amazon,
etc). In the description, they will have to use their creativity and
imagination in order to make it attractive and therefore sell it fast.
Moreover, they will have to provide a name for the product, the price and brief
description.
Gifted students will be provided with
the opportunity to create a slogan for the product they are trying to sell. It
will have to be attractive and representative of the product itself.
ADHD and second year students will be
provided with a prompt which they will need to complete with short sentences.
The gaps will relate to the grammar and vocabulary they have seen in class.
Speaking Activity:
·
The
speaking activities are integrated in most of the activities this Unit proposes.
See Gramar & Vocabulary activity above.
Final task:
Students will present their CD description to the
rest of the class (volunteer task) and the rest of the students will determine
if they would buy it or not.
