DICTATION 1
(extracted from Oxford Course Book "Think Do Learn 5")

Heat and light are both forms of energy. But temperature and heat refer to two different things. The temperature of an object tells us how hot the object is. Heat is the amount of thermal energy that an object has.

Thermal energy affects objects in different ways. For example, it makes them expand or move. It can also change the state of an object, for example from a solid to a liquid. 

Light is a form of energy that travels through air and space in waves. The Sun is a natural source of light, but many artificial light sources have been invented too. For example, light bulbs and computer screens both produce light energy. Light enables us to see things around us.

PROJECT 2: NORTH and SOUTH

What is demography?

What is population density?

Why do we call this project "North and South"?

Useful maps

Fun facts about population (Computers room work)

Search on the internet the following information:

- 3 countries more populated

- 3 countries less populated
- 3 richest countries
- 3 poorest countries

- 3 countries where the primary sector is the most important

-3 countries where the secondary sector is the most important

- 3 countries where the tertiary sector is the most important

- Pick a country and look for the following data: population, economic sector most important, people who emigrated, people who immigrated

EXPERTS GROUPS   How does it work?

1) Each of the groups of our class will have to cover a unique topic:

GROUP 1--> Prehistory: STONE AGE (Paleolithic and Neolithic)

GROUP 2 --> Prehistory: METAL AGES

GROUP 3 --> History: ANCIENT HISTORY (Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians)

GROUP 4-->  History: ANCIENT HISTORY (The Romans)

GROUP 5 --> History: ANCIENT HISTORY (The fall of the Roman Empire)

Each group has 3 lessons to prepare their work. To identify the important information, look at "indicadores" of your "plan de trabajo" and select those you think you have to cover. Prepare some 

2) After the “experts” have learnt their assigned topics in-depth, they will be dispersed into numbered groups, which will contain one “expert” from each group. During this time, “experts” will present their topic to the other "experts" of the group. 

3) You discuss with your numbered group which questions you think you should be able to answer for each topic (look again at "indicadores" of your "plan de trabajo!") and make notes that help you to remember the information.

The last day you will have to answer a test about all the topics. 

GET ON WITH IT!

PRESENTATION TIME

Group 1. Paleolithic and Neolithic

Group 2. Metal Ages

Group 3. Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians

Group 4. The Roman Empire

Group 5. Fall of the Roman Empire

After the presentation time, you will have to be able to answer the following questions:

1. How many periods are there in the Prehistory?
2. Where do Paleolithic people live?
3. Where do Neolithic people live?
4. Do hunter-gatherers cultivate fruits and vegetables?  
5. How many colonization groups were there before the Roman Empire?
6. When did the Roman land in Spain?
7. What was its legacy?
8. Why did the Empire fall?

Did the experts groups answer all your questions?

The following slides presentation summarizes everything you need to know.
