  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Use topic vocabulary about traffic: traffic sign, pavement, helmet, pedestrian, stop sign, no-entry sign, pedestrian crossing, school warning sign, cardboard model
    • Ask and answer about means of transport and distance: How do you get to school? I walk. It is about one kilometre from my home. How far is it from here to the station?
    • Plan, check and present a project output that answers a clear question for a real audience, using safe and honest sources

2. Competences

    Students

    Groups discuss: Option A is correct because it includes the four signs, the model and the safety rule. Option B is correct because it asks for permission and keeps only necessary details.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on one group for each question and asks: Why are the other options wrong?

    Students

    Ss report: Option C is wrong because we must not invent an answer. Option D is wrong because using names is not necessary.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers A and B and explains that consent and privacy must be respected when using any information about people.

Exercise 5: Create the project's main product in English. Each group writes an original presentation plan with captions for its four signs. Use your own words and do not copy textbook text. Exercise 6: Write a short script that introduces the product and explains one important finding or design decision. The script should introduce the topic and audience, explain one concrete finding or choice, give a reason and invite a question.

c) Expected outcomes

Sample presentation plan (Exercise 5): From the pavement with an adult, our group identified four signs: a stop sign, a no-entry sign, a pedestrian-crossing sign and a school warning sign. We recorded each real location: [name of the real place]. Our cardboard stop-sign model stays in the classroom. A stop sign tells a driver to stop. A school warning sign warns that children are nearby.
Sample script (Exercise 6): Hello, everyone. Our project is about traffic signs near our school, for Grade 6 students. We found a stop sign at [name of the real place]. We chose to make a stop-sign model because drivers must stop there. Do you have any questions?

    Step 2: Task performance

    T circulates, checks the accuracy of facts and the use of unit language, and helps groups shorten or clarify sentences.

    Students

    Groups write their captions and script on paper. Ss read their script aloud softly to check the rhythm.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites one group to read its script aloud and asks the class: Is the introduction clear? Is the reason convincing?

    Students

    A representative reads the script. Classmates comment: The introduction is clear, but please say the real location.

  4. Teacher

Activity 4: Application · 30 minutes

Presenting, Responding and Evaluating the Product

a) Aims

Ss present their product to a real audience, answer a classmate's question with evidence, revise the product and evaluate their own work.

b) Content

Each group presents its product in about three minutes to another group or the class. Classmates ask one relevant question each. The presenting group answers with evidence from its product and states one revision it made. Then groups complete Worksheet 2: Peer Feedback and Self-evaluation (Exercise 7 and Exercise 8). Exercise 7: Record one question from a classmate and your reasoned answer, and explain any change you made after the feedback. Exercise 8: Evaluate your completed product using task completion, accurate language, evidence and teamwork. Name one improvement.

c) Expected outcomes

Each group gives a presentation and completes Worksheet 2. Sample answers: Question from a classmate: Where did you record the sign? Reasoned answer: We recorded the stop sign at [name of the real place] while standing on the pavement with our teacher. Revision: We added the reason for choosing the stop sign. Self-evaluation: Strength: our captions are original and accurate. Improvement: add more evidence about the school warning sign. Teamwork: each member had one role and shared the work fairly. Rubric score: about 8 to 10 out of 10.
