- Description
- The students must investigate the parts of the museums and create a museum. We are going to be 3 teachers in the class with 60 pupils. They are going to be divided in 16 groups, each group is going to specialise in one type of hominid: homo sapiens, homo erectus...They are going to desing a catalogue, a timeline, a map about the evolution of this hominid and an audio guide of this specific group of hominids. At the same time, they must use the syntactic structures of English in these activities and previously the students must prepare and do a presentation of grammar points which are going to be used in the texts of the hominids (looking for past simple, present simple passive...and all the grammar points we have studied).
- Aims
- -The main objective of this project is to know about the evolution of the especies and English grammar and vocabulary of the curriculum. History points: A. Ramidus A. Afarensis H. Antecessor H. Habilis H. Erectus Neandertahl Sapiens. Paleolithic. Tools. Sapiens cave. Sapiens Neolithic Tools. Sapiens Neolithic Agriculture Sapiens metal age. Sapiens Megalithic art. English points: Past simple (uses, form and time expressions). Articles (a, an, the, quantifiers and determiners). Adverbs of manner . Adverbs of time (mainly used in past simple). Pronouns (subject, object, possessives). Present simple passive (uses, form...). -
- Outcomes
-
- Knowledge About the theory of the species (Darwin). The students must learn about their morphology and ways to live. At least they need to know the following aspects to do the activities: -Four-footed or biped hominid. -Erect spine. -Height. -Facial features: brain capacity. -Morphology: hands shape (mobile thumb). -Spreading places. -Where they eat. -How they organise their economy (hunt?). -Agriculture. -Grammar points: Past simple (form and uses), determiners, quantifiers, pronouns, present simple passive.
- Comprehension They must read and understand the texts they read about the species in order to do the activities. They must do analysis and summaries. To complete the map and do the timeline.
- Evaluation They are going to do peer assessments before the presentations, formative assessments (using a programme kahoot) and at the end the teacher will assess them according to a rubric they will have previously. Moreover, they will do a special exam prepared by their classmates and observing and writing down the information directly from the museum. They are going to evaluate the exposition of their classmates about the group of hominids they must work about.
- Application Apply the theory to the activities using the English grammar we have dealt.with. They must study in the texts the grammar points exposed by the classmates too. Then they applay the information about evolution of species and grammar points.

1st activity: Video of presentation of the PBL.
10 minutes)

Read Watch Listen1060Students are going to watch a video where a person interested in creating a museum presents the business. He wants to propose to our students (they are going to be the organisers of the museum). We will use the driving question of the project in this video. The language we will use in the video is English and obviously they will not know the person who proposes the business.
Notes:
The video includes the driving question to encourage them to work.

We will give these long list of questions about all the species we have dealt with to all the groups. When they have read and understand all the questions, the second step is to visit the museum. They must answer all the questions with the information they are reading in the museum from the pannels, catalogues, audioguides... .
-
PracticeThe third step consist of given to each group all the test answered by the other groups which are about the hominid they have worked about and just the questions they had prepared for the rest of they group. They will correct it and check if the other 15 groups has answered the question properly. At the end, the teacher will pick up all the test corrected to review them and give mark to the groups.
