Managing Your Social Network


Addiction
FEATURED PRODUCTIVITY

BY IBRAHIM HUSAIN

Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter […] the list goes on and on. And if you are any sort of tech savvy, there
is good chance you are a member of multiple social networks. Even I have accounts with at least 5 of these.
While there is a lot to be gained by using these services, there is also a lot to be lost.

[…]

Here are a few tips that can help you monitor your social network use, and ensure that you are being
productive instead of wasting time.
• Track Your Time Online – The simplest way to ensure you aren’t wasting time in any one place is to
monitor your time. Use a stopwatch and set a limit. When time is up, log out, regardless of what’s left. There
is always tomorrow.

• Remember the Telephone – I know, it’s so primitive. But a call to a friend works just as well as a Facebook
message, and it is real human interaction, something we are losing touch with.

• Go Outside – Get away from your portal to the network. Get some sunshine, chances are you need it.

• Limit Your Memberships – There is no need for memberships to 15 different networks. In fact, there is no
need for even 2 memberships of sites which do the same thing. Choose Facebook or Myspace, but not both.
Digg, or StumbleUpon. This will probably cut your memberships in half, and hopefully cut the time spent on
them down also.

• Use Your Networks Productively – When I first used Twitter I followed anyone, and had thousands of
followers. Strangely though, people rarely responded to my twits, and it was like I was invisible. I decided I’d
only use Twitter if I could be productive with it, so I unfollowed thousands of users (now below 200), and use
Twitter only to share and interact with people with similar interests as mine. Now my Twitter is a tool, not a
time warp.

Ibrahim Husain is from Texas, USA, and writes motivational and self-development works for many online
publications.

Pá gina 15

• Prioritize – Use these tools only when your work has been done, or during down time. Don’t spend time
updating your profile or changing your pic when there is work to be done. This will not only save you time and
increase productivity, but will build self discipline as well.

• Stop Procrastinating – Many times we get on Facebook or Twitter when we have real work that we just
don’t want to do. Stop that! Get the work done. Once you finish you’ll have all the time in the world to spend
making friends on Facebook.

• Remove the Cellphone Apps – You don’t really need Facebook or Twitter on your phone. Nothing on there
can be that important. Save your social networking for when you are behind the desk and limit the distractions
throughout the day.

• Spend More Time With Close Friends and Family – You aren’t the only one who suffers when you spend
countless hours on MySpace. Your family and friends don’t see you, because you are too busy learning how to
customize your backgrounds and take crazy pictures from all different angles for your profile pic. Cut out the
cancer and get back to friends and family.

LET’S LISTEN, READ AND TALK!

BEFORE YOU LISTEN…

• With a classmate, read the title of the text below and guess possible answers to the question.
After you have guessed possible answers, read the text quickly to check your predictions.

ÁUDIO 1 1. Read and listen to the text below. Then answer the questions in your notebook.
HINT

Sempre dê uma olhada nos títulos e subtítulos para ajudar a prever o que vai ler ou ouvir.

What is Better: to Make Friends in Real


Life or in Social Networks?
Argument 1

“True, indeed, if your parents are strict or if you can’t go out to see your actual friends you
could get on a social network. But the problem is that nowadays most of the people you meet
on a network if you haven’t ever met them in real life are fake, pervs, or predators. Not saying
that all networks are like that or that all people on there are like that but you never know. A
predator can play the role of a trustworthy person for a while and get your information and
who knows what else. It’s just safer to make friends in real life.”

Argument 2

“In my point of view, Internet becomes part of our life. We also should consider it like simply
meeting someone in the street. In any case people can lie both in Internet and during face to
face contact. It depends on you, to believe or not. For me, it is easier to communicate with
someone by chats and social networks. You can analyse the context of speech. (What to say,
how to answer and etc.)”

Argument 3
“Nowadays we have more friends in social network rather than in real life. Sometimes you
have problems, but you can’t share them with your friends in real life, so in network you don’t
know the person and easily you can share everything you have in your mind. Also it’s good if
your friend is from another country, because you become more open-minded, you will get

LET’S FOCUS ON LANGUAGE!

Verb tense review


1. Read the following sentences:
I. “The simplest way to ensure you aren’t wasting time in any one place […].”

II. “[…] something we are losing touch with.”

III. “But a call to a friend works just as well as a Facebook message […].”

IV. Is social media changing the way we communicate?

V. “Nowadays we have more friends in social network rather than in real life.”

a) Which of them present an action in progress or a temporary action?

b) Which of them are statements that are always true?

LET’S REMEMBER!

To form the Simple Present, add –s (–es or –ies) to the verb for he, she, and it.

To make the negative, use doesn’t for he, she, and it and don’t for I, you, we, and they.
To ask questions, use does when the subject is he/she/it and do when the subject is
I/you/we/they.

2. What is currently going on in your social networks? Conduct a survey in your classroom to
know more about that. Go around the class and ask questions to at least four classmates to
complete your survey. Report your results to the class. Here are some suggestions for
questions, but you can create others.

• What are people discussing on Facebook this week?

• What are people tweeting today?

• What videos are people sharing this week?

• What games are you playing on your cell phone?

• What online resources are students using this week to learn English?

• What kind of memes are you sharing?

• Who are you interacting the most with?

Here are some suggestions to make your oral report.

• A friend of mine is discussing…

Your Guide to Safe Web Browsing


Get tips on keeping your computer (and your personal information) safe while on the Internet.

Here are some tips for keeping your computer, your data and your personal information safe while browsing
the Web:

The Basics:

• Use anti-virus software on your computer. Anti-virus software will detect and remove viruses or prevent
them from ever entering your computer. […]

• Use a firewall on your computer. […] A personal firewall will protect your computer against viruses,
worms and other Internet threats.

• Create and use strong passwords. […] To create a strong password, use both upper and lower case letters.
Also, incorporate numbers or punctuation marks to make your password at least eight characters long. A good
password is NOT your name, phone number, […]. […] don’t use a word that uses digits in place of letters or
passwords that are simply a group of keys right next to each other on the keyboard (asdfghjkl) or one letter or
number repeated (44444444444).

• Update your security software and change your passwords often. […] It isn’t enough just to download
and install security software one time. To keep your computer safe, you must update your protective software
regularly. Also, even if your passwords are strong, change them every six months or so. Never use one
password […] for multiple online accounts. If one of these systems is compromised, your password from one
system may be used to try to enter other systems.

• Beware of instant message links and e-mail attachments. A good rule to follow when communicating
online is to never open an attachment that you aren’t expecting, even if you know the person who sent it. […]
The sender may not even be aware that the link or attachment contains a virus. […] Before you click on that ad
for free software or for an online game demo, know that you may also be downloading spyware. […] With
spyware, identity theft is just a few clicks away for the intruder.

Posters are a simple but effective way of publicizing events and communicating
important messages to the public at large.

Design a poster, keeping in mind that it is important to make it attractive and easy to
read. Use the steps below as a guide.

Suggested theme:

• Security on the Web

Writing Steps

Organizing

by hand? Or do you have access to a computer and printer? Or are you going to publish
it on Wikispaces?

• Choose one simple, memorable message.

• Get the information from a reliable source, such as from books, people working in
the field, or on reputable Internet sites.

Preparing the first draft

• Prepare the first draft. Place your message in large lettering that will attract
attention. More detailed information can also be added in smaller lettering.

• Have your information checked by somebody with expertise in the subject. Also get

The Invention of the Radio


Radio is the branch of telecommunication that involves the propagation of electromagnetic waves
through space.

How did the Radio Originate?


Many scientists dreamed of discovering a way to wireless communication, but didn’t succeed until the late
nineteenth century. James Clerk Maxwell developed the first radio-wave theorem in 1864. He proved,
mathematically, that if an electrical interruption is of short distance from the point at which it occurred, there
would be effect or passage of electrical current due to “some sort of waves that move at the speed of light”, in
which the electromagnetic energy would travel.

Heinrich Hertz experimented with Maxwell’s thesis in 1888. He demonstrated that “waves traveled in straight
lines and that they could be reflected by a metal sheet.” He tested with two conductors separated by a short
gap (5ft). This idealism was advanced by the Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi (seen on the next page), who
repeated Hertz’s experiments with a spark gap of 30ft and succeeded.

Augusto Righi, an Italian physicist, continued and refined Hertz’s work establishing the equality between
electrical and optical vibrations. Another scientist, Temistocle Calzecchi-Onesti, constructed, in 1888, a “tube”
due to his belief that electrical discharges of atmospheric perturbations influenceiron filings.

In 1894, Oliver Lodge named Temistocle’s famous “tube” the “coherer” and increased the reception gain of the
hertzian waves. All that was left was the Russian, Popov (Alexander Popoff), to create a vertical metal pole by
using Lodge’s coherer and collecting atmospheric disturbances in a rudimentary antenna. The invention of
these instruments helped Guglielmo Marconi’s discovery. Marconi verified that electromagnetic waves travel
between two points separated by an obstacle. This led to the creation of the first radio transmitter... This
experiment was repeated with larger spark gaps (started with 5 ft; expanded to 100 km). Radiotelegraphy was
born.

A Brief History of Podcasting

Podcasting A part of the general lexicon almost overnight. The technology behind podcasting

Winer. Former MTV VJ Adam Curry had been pushing for a new way to do RSS with multimedia,
and B encourage Winer to develop RSS with enclosures.

That technology C people to publish RSS feeds with audio or video, but it took a few years before
regular podcasts were launched. In the summer of 2004, Winer D a protopodcast called Morning
Coffee Notes and Curry started his Daily Source Code sh ow. Curry E to start coding his own
podcast software called iPodder, and was hoping to get other programmers to join in on the open

Love Is on the Radio


(by McFly)

I was alone and my stomach was twisted

But I can get up now, the dark clouds have lifted

Back in the old life before you existed

I couldn’t see right

My windows were misted

Said one word, make me feel much better

Starts with “L” and it’s got four letters


Chorus

Things are looking up

Looking up (hey)

There’s magic everywhere you go

Strangers stop to say hello (hello, hello, hello)

So turn it up

Turn it up (hey)

As loud as you can make it go

‘Cause love is on the radio

Now that I’ve found you my heart’s beating faster

We could be happy forever and after

We could be married, like Mrs. and Mr.

We’ll have a son and we’ll give him a sister

Just one thing holding us together

A four letter word and it lasts forever

Chorus

Love is on the radio

Love is on the radio (turn it up, turn it up) ×6

Funny one thing led to another

You came along, filled my days with colour

And it’s been an everlasting summer

Since we found each other

Chorus

So turn it up

Turn it up (hey)

As loud as you can make it go

Play until your speakers blow


And listen ‘till your ears explode

‘Cause love is on the radio

Interview
What is an interview?

An interview is a meeting in which someone asks another person, especially a famous person,
questions about themselves, their work, or their ideas, in order to publish or broadcast the
information.

1. Read the text carefully. Which strategies do you consider the most effective?
Tips on How to Interview Like a Journalist
I. Find a good interviewee: Seek out a good subject. “The truth is that some people have a good
story to tell on a subject, and others don’t. Some people are naturally talented at being interviewed,
and others aren’t,” said copywriter Star Zagofsky.

II. It’s your job to research: Know the answers to basic questions such as the individual’s
background, hot topics, what the person has worked on, is currently working on, and what they’re
trying to promote.

III. Make them comfortable: Place them in a comfortable location with friendly surroundings. Be
professional and friendly – not pushy.

IV. Send a list of questions beforehand or not: It’s sometimes a good idea to give a skeletal list
of questions so the interviewee can prepare appropriately. But don’t give them all your questions as
you still want some spontaneity in the interview.

V. Record the interview: You must record your interviews for many reasons: it’s the ethical thing
to do; you can actually have a natural conversation; you can focus on the subject and not on your
notebook; and you reduce the fear of being misquoted.

a) What is the best tip, in your opinion? Why did you choose this one?

b) In your experience as a listener, what makes a good radio interview?

c) Who do you consider a good interviewer? Think about television, radio, etc. What qualities

LEARNING TIPS
How to use an online translator tool

BRFuzetti/ID/BR

An online translator is a tool which can help you with translations, but it has limitations and
you must revise the text to make it more accurate. See an example below.

Você ouve rá dio?

— Muito pouco.

Você costumava ouvir rá dio quando era criança?

— Sim, eu gostava muito de rá dio. Eu adorava os programas de humor e as novelas.

Now, read the translation and pay attention to the interrogative form.

You listen to the radio?

— Very little.
You used to listen to the radio as a child?

— Yes, I loved the radio. I loved sitcoms and soap operas.

Notice the suggested final version below.

Do you listen to the radio?

— Very little.

Did you use to listen to the radio as a child?

— Yes, I loved the radio. I loved sitcoms and soap operas.

What about using an online translator tool to find more professions and jobs in English and
then enlarge your glossary?

‘I wrote 2U B4’! British Library Shows Up Textspeak as


soooo 19th Century
New exhibition features Victorian poems written like text messages, the rise of RP, and battles over the letter H

Mark Brown, Arts correspondent

guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 18 August 2010 19.31 BST

If u really r annoyed by the vocabulary of the text generation, then a new exhibition at the British Library
should calm you down. It turns out they were doing it in the 19th century – only then they called it emblematic
poetry, and it was considered terribly clever.

Details were announced today of the library’s new exhibition devoted to the English language, exploring its
1,500-year history from Anglo-Saxon runes and early dictionaries to not dropping your Hs and rap.

The exhibition will open this winter after three years of planning.

[…]

There will be examples of the linguistic games people played, and a poem from Gleanings From the Harvest-
Fields of Literature, published in 1867. In it, 130 years before the arrival of mobile phone texting, Charles C
Bombaugh uses phrases such as “I wrote 2 U B 4”. Another verse reads: “He says he loves U 2 X S,/U R virtuous
and Y’s,/In X L N C U X L/All others in his i’s.”

[…]

• Evolving English: One Language, Many Voices will be at the British Library from 12 November 2010 until 3 April
2011.

TIME FOR LITERATURE


PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
1. Answer the following questions in your notebook.

a) Are you a good reader? How many titles do you read in a year?

b) Do you prefer novels, plays, poems, biographies, or “cordel?” Any others?

c) Who are your favorite authors? What do you know about them?

2. Have you ever heard of Jane Austen? Read this excerpt from one of her biographies and
answer the questions in your notebook.

Jane Austen was an English writer that came into the world on December 16th, 1775, born to
Reverend George Austen and Cassandra Austen. Growing up, the Austen children lived in an
environment of open learning, creativity and dialog. Mr. Austen kept a large collection of literature
in his home library, which Jane made extensive use of in both reading and writing endeavors. It
became quite common for the family to invest time and energy into making home-based
productions of existing plays or writing and acting out their own creations. One can only assume
that it was in these exercises that the true talent of Jane Austen was being nurtured – through
observation, improvisation, acting and participation.

With her formal education completed at a boarding school, Jane returns home permanently and
sets out to pen the work First Impressions. Little did she know at the time that this single work
would become her most popular and enduring piece, becoming the story we now know as Pride and
Prejudice. The first draft was completed sometime in 1799. She wrote six novels and they are so
undated that lots of movies are continually being made from them.

5. The following extract is the first chapter of the novel Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen.
Read it and then do the activities that follow.

Chapter 1
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in
want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a
neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is
considered as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard thatNetherfield Park is let at
last?”

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

“But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”

This was invitation enough.

“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young

Pá gina 72
TIME FOR LITERATURE
man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four
to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately;
that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by
the end of next week.”

“What is his name?”

“Bingley.”

“Is he married or single?”

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a
fine thing for our girls!”

“How so? How can it affect them?”

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am
thinking of his marrying one of them.”

“Is that his design in settling here?”

“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of
them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”

“I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which
perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you
the best of the party.”

“My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be any
thing extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over
thinking of her own beauty.”

“In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.”

“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”

“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.”

“But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir
William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know they
visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”

“You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send
a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying which ever he chooses of the
girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.”

“I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not
half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the
preference.

“They have none of them much to recommend them,” replied he; “they are all silly and ignorant like
other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.”
“Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such way? You take delight in vexing me. You
have no compassion on my poor nerves.”

“You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have
heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.”

“Ah! You do not know what I suffer.”

“But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into
the neighbourhood.”

Pá gina 73

“It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.”

“Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.”

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the
experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his
character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little
information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The
business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

“Is he married or single?”

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a
fine thing for our girls!”

The Future May Be Online, but Many Will Slip


Through the Net
Peter Preston

As circulations plummet, digital seems the only future for newspapers. But supposed ‘trends’ create a very
confused picture.

David Sillitoe/The Guardian

Don’t stop the presses: on your commuter train or bus, people aren’t sitting with an iPad, they’re turning the pages of
freesheets.

There’s an awful doubt beginning to infect the media scene as autumn comes. It takes the most
commonplace assumption of newspaper life and hangs a great question mark on it. We’re
constantly told that newspapers as we know them are in a period of transition, moving to become
purely digital papers on the web, on tablets, on mobiles, on gadgets as yet uninvented. There is light
at the end of a long tunnel of uncertainty, a vital transition. Yet suppose, just suppose, that there’s
not.

Readers who read the online runes will recognise some of the doubts involved here:
advertisements priced much cheaper than print, because cyberspace is infinite and therefore
infinitely available; paywalls that raise useful sums that aren’t quite useful enough; tablet efforts
such as Rupert Murdoch’s the Daily, that begin in a blaze of publicity then disappear behind a veil of
silence; phone applications that seem hugely promising until you try charging a regular rate for
them.

None of this means there isn’t good money to be made on the net. Some specialist sheets and
smooth operators are doing that already. But your average, all-purpose paper on a standard path to
survival? Forget it.

LEAD-IN

1. Notice how the news story on the opposite page is organized. Complete this text with the
parts of a news story. Use your notebook.

Most news stories have a clear organization and contain a headline, a strapline, a lead, a
body (content) and an image with a caption. The A sums up the main newspaper story to
attract the reader. The B adds a little more detail to the C . The opening paragraph of the news
story is known as the D . The E , the strapline, and the F tell you the main ideas of the news
article. The G of the story is where you find detailed information to help you better understand
the story. An image is another element often used in news stories. It is usually followed by a H
which integrates the image to the news story.

In what ways does the headline differ from the other parts of the article?

2. In your notebook, write the correct combination of numbers–letters to relate the sections
of a newspaper to their definitions.

I Local and Foreign News Section

II Obituary Page

III Sports Page

IV Business and Finance Section


V General News

VI Art and Entertainment Section

VII Travel and Tourism Section

VIII Editorial Page

IX Classified Ads Section

A comes on the front page and contains the most important news.

B contains domestic and international news.

C contains news about sports events in and out of the country.

D gives views or opinions of the editor or publisher on certain issues or events.

E contains advertisements of various types.

F provides information on banking and business in general.

G provides a guide to enjoyable travel.

H provides information about people who died and the time and place of their burial.

I contains information about movies, radio, television, etc.

Too Much Temptation


January 23, 2012

It Was Hard For These Teens To Give Up Facebook, Youtube

YouTube, texting, TV. It’s sometimes so overwhelming that it can be hard to focus on homework. So we
challenged teens to do their homework without distractions for three days. They were allowed to take breaks
to do things like check their Facebook, go on YouTube, talk to their friends or watch TV, but they couldn’t do
those things while doing their homework.

L.A. Youth is an online newspaper “by and about teens,” according to its editor. It publishes first-hand accounts of
teens’ experiences with college stress and personal troubles like racial identity, broken families, teen pregnancy, and
drug addiction, among other issues.

By Jazmine Mendoza 16, Valley Regional HS #5 (San Fernando)

Distractions are all around us – Facebook, […]

Elizabeth Vidar/Photographer's Archive

I was confident the first day. I left my computer and phone on because I wanted to challenge myself by
keeping temptations nearby. I felt more focused because I wasn’t thinking about checking my Facebook every
five minutes. I spent only three hours doing homework instead of the six to seven hours I usually take. I even
had time to read for pleasure before going to bed. The following day at school I felt better prepared because
without distractions, I had fully understood the homework.

During the second night I found myself dozing off and getting bored since I was used to going online or calling
a friend when my homework got hard. I didn’t want to cave in though, so I dedicated myself to doing portions
of my homework for about an hour and then taking five-minute breaks. I didn’t use the breaks to go online
though, because I knew that I’d stay on longer than five minutes. Instead I cleaned my room, got a snack or saw
what my family was doing. Then I continued my homework more refreshed.

I repeated the same routine the third day, and will try to keep that routine from now on. Spending less time on
Facebook made it less important. I knew I wasn’t missing out on much because I could go on later and nothing
had changed. It feels good being on the computer less.

The first day, I forgot that I had to be distraction free until I realized it took me 30 minutes to come back to a
government question because I was texting my friends and checking my email. When I stopped replying to
texts, I finished my homework in less than 20 minutes. I was able to work on college applications the rest of
the night and go to sleep before 11.

I usually stay up until midnight and spend about four hours doing homework.

The next two days were not as successful. I tried not to get distracted by my phone but I couldn’t help it. I could
have moved it away from my desk, but what if I missed an important call or text? Like what if my friend broke
up with her boyfriend? I’m so attached to my phone that if I don’t have it near me I feel like a part of me is
missing, which is not normal – it is just an object. Text messages would come in, I would ignore them but then
another message would come in and another one after that one. I gave in and texted and called my best friend.
We didn’t even talk about anything important, just the usual rundown of how our day went and complaints
about our homework.

My mom said she knew I would fail this challenge because according to her I’m “addicted” to my phone. In my
defense, the challenge worked for one day but then I went back to how things usually are, staying up until
midnight. But I’m OK with that because I feel like I need mini-distractions during homework or else I’d go
crazy.

minutes D (be) up, the sites were blocked. My only distraction now E (be) instant messaging
my friends about girls, classes and schoolwork.

For the challenge I F (choose) the Stayfocus option that G (let/neg.) me browse at all, and H
(log/neg.) in to AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) until I was done with my homework. I I (come)
home from band practice at 7 p.m. and napped for two hours before starting my homework. I
got bored while working on my essay about Fidel Castro and I J (have) the urge to use AIM or
check out videos on YouTube. However, I K (do) the challenge so I L (make) myself a sandwich
and M (go) back to work. After I N (finish) my stuff, it was around 2 a.m. Not bad for a school
night; I usually O (finish) around 3.

On Day 2, I P (go) home after band practice and woke up around 8. I Q (put) on my

On Day 3, I R (study) for my history test and S (do) my homework for my other classes.
Occasionally I would wonder what my friends were up to and how they were doing. [...]

LET’S ACT WITH WORDS!


Let's know different types of headlines
1. Read the text and do the activities below.

How to Write Headlines and Subheads


by Mark Nichol

The first thing most readers notice in print or online is a headline. Think of it as a virtual handshake. If your
headline is the text equivalent of a cold, dead fish, you’ll make a poor first impression. Or think of it as
analogous to a cover letter or a request for a date. You only get one chance to introduce yourself – make it
good.

Various types of headlines exist, and some are more suitable than others for various types of content. Here are
eight categories appropriate for selling something, whether it’s a product or an idea, along with a sample
headline of that type:

1. Direct: “Lawn Mowers on Sale”

2. News: “Remote-Control Lawn Mower to Debut in April”

3. How-To: “How to Select the Best Lawn Mower for Your Yard”

4. Question: “Is Your Lawn Mower the Right One for the Job?”

5. Command: “Go to Lawn Mowers R Us for the Best Deals”

6. List: “7 Things to Look for in a New Lawn Mower”

7. Testimonial: “I Got a Great Deal on a New Lawn Mower”

8. Teaser: “The Most Important Purchase You’ll Make This Year” […]
Notice that none of the sample headlines above is more than ten words long. Many effective headlines are half
that long, or even shorter. […]

Diversity of Magazine Cover Girls Improves, but not


Enough
Posted by Natali Rivers on Aug 9, 2013

The Huffington Post recently conducted a study to determine the diversity of magazine cover
girls. The study excluded magazines that cater to a specific ethnic population and focused on 16
“mainstream” publications. Tallying from September 2012 to September 2013, HuffPo found that
only 18 percent of the covers featured women of color. Insert shocked face here. Although these
stats were sadly unsurprising, I did find one aspect encouraging. The magazine that was considered
most diverse, with half of their covers featuring women of color, was Teen Vogue.

For me and a lot of friends my age, seeing women who don’t look like us on mainstream magazine
covers is old news. […]

Letter to the Editor

A letter to the editor is a letter sent to a publication about issues of concern from its readers.
Usually, letters are intended for publication. In many publications, letters to the editor may be sent
either through conventional mail or electronic mail. Letters to the editor are most frequently
associated with newspapers and news magazines. […]

The subject matter of letters to the editor varies widely. However, the most common topics include:

• Supporting or opposing a stance taken by the publication in its editorial, or responding to


another writer’s letter to the editor.

[…]

• Remarking on materials (such as a news story) that have appeared in a previous edition.
Such letters may either be critical or praising.

• Correcting a perceived error or misrepresentation. […]

Teen Magazines Lack Substance


By Alysha S., Dell Rapids, SD

I agree with Natascia L. I sometimes wish I could read about topics other than Paris Hilton or how

I know a place where you can get away

It’s called a dance floor, and here’s what it’s for, so

Chorus

Come on, vogue

Let your body move to the music


Hey, hey, hey

Come on, vogue

Let your body go with the flow

You know you can do it

All you need is your own imagination

So use it that’s what it’s for

Go inside, for your finest inspiration

Your dreams will open the door

It makes no difference if you’re black or white

If you’re a boy or a girl

If the music’s pumping it will give you new life

You’re a superstar, yes, that’s what you are, you know it

Chorus

Come on, vogue

Let your body groove to the music

Hey, hey, hey

Come on, vogue

Let your body go with the flow

You know you can do it

Beauty’s where you find it

Not just where you bump and grind it

Soul is in the musical

Pá gina 101

That’s where I feel so beautiful

Magical, life’s a ball


So get up on the dance floor

Repeat chorus

Beauty’s where you find it

Beauty’s where you find it

Beauty’s where you find it

Ladies with an attitude

Fellows that were in the mood

Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it

Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it

Vogue

Oooh, you’ve got to

Let your body move to the music

Oooh, you’ve got to just

Let your body go with the flow

Oooh, you’ve got to Vogue

Too Much Temptation

It was hard for these teens to give up Facebook, YouTube and texting while doing their homework.
Distractions are all around us – Facebook, YouTube, texting, TV. It’s sometimes so overwhelming that it can be
hard to focus on homework. So we challenged teens to do their homework without distractions for three days.
They were allowed to take breaks to do things like check their Facebook, go on YouTube, talk to their friends
or watch TV, but they couldn’t do those things while doing their homework. […]

Teen Magazines Lack Substance
By Alysha S., Dell Rapids, SD

I agree with Natascia L. I sometimes wish I could read about topics other than Paris Hilton or how
to apply eyeliner correctly. I think that if we had a magazine that talked about actual news, it would
sell. Most teenagers need to be more informed about politics and world issues. Teenagers today
need a magazine with substance.

What does Erin Put in her Forecast?

What are the most important things to put in your weather forecast? Here are Erin's top tips.
Erin Roberts presents weather for S4C using the same forecasting data as Weather Labs

"Good morning...hope you're up and ready for the day because it's going to be a good one, another dry and fine
day in Swansea! The air pressure is up on yesterday bringing us clearer skies. Any clouds we have at the
moment are likely to clear around midday and with those light 10 mph winds still coming from the south it's
going to be warm again.

We are expecting highs of around 23 Celsius in the City Centre this afternoon, well above the seasonal average
but a degree or two lower in the surrounding areas. Temperatures will fall a little overnight but it will remain
warm and humid with lows of around 15 Celsius, another uncomfortable night on the way. But make the most
of it, it's not going to last. Rain is on the way early tomorrow, the first showers are likely to hit the city at
around 9am. These could be prolonged and heavy by mid-afternoon and be accompanied by a significant dip in
temperature. We will be back to the seasonal average with highs at around 18C tomorrow. Not looking too
promising for Swansea City's match, it's likely to stay cloudy and rather wet."

LEARNING TIPS
How to learn with TV and videos
DID YOU KNOW…?

• Programme (Br English)

• Program (Am English)


Television is great for learning English. The pictures make it easier to understand than radio
and because you can see who’s talking, you get a better idea of what people mean. Just watch
their “body language”!

Watch programs that you find enjoyable and entertaining – whatever you watch will help you
to improve your English.

Here’s a guide to learning as much as possible while watching English television:

Only watch programs you find interesting. Learning English should be fun – not something
you have to force yourself to do. If you have a passion for football, watch matches or the sports
news.

Keep a notebook near your television, so that you can jot down any new words or
expressions that you hear. This is especially useful if the program you are watching has been
subtitled into your language.

Try to watch English television regularly. Even if you can only watch 15 minutes a day,
you’ll be amazed how much you learn.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. English television is normally aimed at
native English language speakers. Programs often include difficult words and expressions. If
the program you’re watching is full of unknown words, just concentrate on understanding the
general meaning.

Even cartoons and children’s programs are useful when learning English, and quiz shows
are useful for learning how to ask and answer questions in English.

Keep a note of television programs and presenters that you find easy to understand and try to
watch them regularly. Doing this will increase your confidence and give you a sense of
achievement.

Personal broadcasting and Personal mobile broadcasting are terms for participatory journalism that
focuses on television webcasting over the Internet and mobile Internet. The term is akin to “personal
publishing” which is synonymous with blogging. However, personal broadcasting is not the same as “vlogging”
(a portmanteau of “video web logging”), as vlogging does not stream live material.

Fame and Fortune: The Power of YouTube


3 jan 2012/0 Comments/in Social Media, Social Networking, YouTube/by admin

By Julie Lamb | @juliedlamb

What do Justin Bieber, Colbie Caillat, Soulja Boy, and Sean Kingston all have in common? Aside from being
celebrities/singers, they all started out simply by posting amateur videos of themselves on the Internet, and
after developing a large following online, were fortunate enough to “get discovered” by important people in
the music industry.

It may be easy to discount these stories as pure luck and claim that such successes don’t justify all the time that
many YouTubers spend making videos. But the truth is that the path from YouTube sensation to professional
musician is becoming more and more common, and this trend does not show signs of slowing down any time
soon.

As long as there are people willing to post their talent online, music executives now have an easy, free way to
search for budding new stars without ever leaving their couches. More importantly, they no longer have to be
limited to their city, state, or even their country.

Take the story of Arnel Pineda, who has been the lead singer of the band Journey since 2007. Prior to 2007,
Pineda performed in various groups at nightclubs in Hong Kong and the Philippines but finally got his big
break when his friend posted videos of his performances on YouTube. At that time, Journey was looking for a
new lead singer, and after holding numerous unsatisfying auditions, they turned to YouTube as their last
hope… and found exactly what they were looking for in Arnel Pineda.

You could still say that Pineda was lucky, since in order to find the “diamonds in the rough” on YouTube, one
must to sift through a huge amount of bizarre, inappropriate, or clearly talentless videos. However, between
the number of views, “likes,” the comment section, and the ease of finding videos that have gone viral by posts
on Facebook and Twitter, YouTube is still a relatively easy and efficient way to discover the next big star, in
music or otherwise. Plus, with its global popularity, YouTube puts the world at your fingertips, which increases
the chances that any talent-seeking executive will find someone who fits exactly what they are looking for.

Finding success through YouTube is not just for musicians though. With YouTube’s Partner Program, even
average people can earn a living by following their passion. As long as they create a video that enough people
find interesting, they can start bringing home the bacon with a simple click of the upload button.

For example, Megan Parken, now 15, began creating video tutorials on make up, fashion, and “life advice” the
summer before she entered 8th grade. Although her YouTube channel was popular only with girls even
younger than Megan, she was still able to get an average

Pá gina 125

of 100,000 views per video. Through YouTube’s partner program and the companies whose brands she
mentioned, she earned enough money to buy her first car and start saving money for college. In fact, she has
been so successful that, with support from her parents and her teachers, she quit high school after 9th grade so
that she could have more time to devote to her videos and to interact with her fans.

Which brings us to an important point, for both individuals and businesses alike: every YouTube sensation,
from Justin Bieber to Megan Parken, understands that it is not enough to simply post a video or two, find some
success, and then expect it to last. In order to maintain and continue to grow your fan base in this fast-paced,
social media-obsessed world, you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to interact with your
followers on Twitter and continually post new content on Facebook and YouTube. The minute you stop, your
content appears old and you become a “has-been.” Remember, there is always going to be some budding new
star or innovative business only one upload away from taking your place.

LET’S ACT WITH WORDS!


Let's create a tutorial
A tutorial is a set of instructions to teach someone how to do or use something. It is
very popular on YouTube. The following texts will help you write a tutorial.

THE FOUR-IN-HAND KNOT


The four-in-hand is the all-time classic of tie knots. It is by far the most used, because it
is simple to tie. It works well for most types of tie and with nearly all types of shirt
collar. It is perfect for men of medium height and for tall men.

Conical and elongated, the four-in-hand is narrow when tied with a lightweight
fabric and wider when formed with a thick material.

Preparation: Turn up the collar of your shirt, button the top button, then put the tie
around your neck. Medium height men should position the narrow end of the tie at
waist level. Tall men should position the narrow end a little above the waist. Narrow-
chested men will look better with the Double Knot which has a similar shape.

Psonha/ID/BR

The steps

Step 1. Just below the collar, lay the wide end over the narrow end.

Step 2. Take the wide end behind the narrow end.

Step 3. Bring the wide end across the layover.

Step 4. Holding a finger in the loop, bring the wide end up, then down through the
loop.

Step 5. Holding the narrow end, pull the knot gently up to the top shirt button.

When the knot is finished, the narrow end must be concealed and the wide end
should be level with your belt.

EYE MAKE-UP TUTORIAL

First, prep the skin around your eye, then prep lids with a primer. After blending
concealer under the eyes, wet a small, flat brush and rub it across a black cake liner.

Your eyes will look wider and your lashes more defined.

Always: Curl your lashes for an eye-opener before you apply any makeup.

OPTION 1: THE DOUBLE KNOT

Psonha/ID/BR

The Double Knot is very similar to the Four-in-hand. It has just one more layover. At
the beginning the wide end is turned twice over the narrow end.

The slightly thicker finished knot makes it ideal for use with most shirts. It is also
perfect with all types of tie, with the exception of very thick fabrics.

a) Write a tutorial to teach the Double Knot technique to tie a tie. Use linking words to write
your tutorial: first, then, after, finally.
OPTION 2: DREADLOCKS
Step 1. Stop using conditioner a week to 10 days before you begin the process.

Step 2. Mix about 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 1 quart of water. Rinse your hair with
this vinegar-and-water solution the day you plan to start making your dreadlocks. This
solution will remove any residue or buildup that may impede the process. You can also
buy a residue-free shampoo and wash your hair with it.

TIME FOR LITERATURE


“CAT IN THE RAIN”
1. You are going to read a short story by the American writer Ernest Hemingway. First, read
the following short biography and a definition of short story. Then answer the questions in
pairs.

Ernest Hemingway was a very famous correspondent, reporter and writer, who lived in Paris,
France, for some years in the 1920s, selfexiled from his country, the United States. He was in
World War I. Part of the avant-garde artists, he is one of the most important American late
modernists. Hemingway wrote many of his works in the post-war Paris of the 1920s and in
Spain in the 1930s.

(By the authors.)


Rudolf Kucherov/Ria Novosti/AFP

Ernest Hemingway, by Andrei Kharshak, 1950. Pencil and paper. Reproduction.

A short story is a work of fiction that is usually written in prose, often in narrative format.

According to the traditional method of narrative, in the short story the action and the conflict
are built up through the development of the story until its outcome, going through a crisis and
having a final resolution. In the modern narrative method, the story disregards the former
scheme and is fragmented in an invertebrate structure. The traditional short story, in short,
has a beginning, a middle, and an end. A modern short story, most times, has no beginning or
end; it just shows a slice of life in the middle of something.

The language of the modernistic narrative is direct, with short sentences and very little use of
adjectives and long descriptions.

In a short story, as in long narratives, we can usually detect such elements as: character (the
people in the story), plot (the story itself), setting (place and time), theme (variable), style,
form, genre, narrator (narrative voice), tense (how verbs are used and why).

a) Based on Hemingway’s professional background, what type of text do you expect him to
write?

b) Considering the historical context he lived in, what themes do you expect to find in his
literature?

c) What other short stories have you already read?

d) What are the narrative methods and how are they different?

DID YOU KNOW…?

Literary Modernism has its origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly in Europe
and North America. This movement is characterized by a self-conscious break with traditional
styles of poetry and verse.

2. Now, read the short story and then do the activities. As you read, try to identify the elements
mentioned in the previous description.

Cat in the Rain


By Ernest Hemingway

There were only two Americans stopping at the hotel. They did not know any of the people they
passed on the stairs on their way to and from their room. Their room was on the second floor facing
the sea. It also faced the public garden and the war monument. There were big palms and green
benches in the public garden. In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Artists
liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea.
Italians came from a long way off to look up at the war monument. It was made of bronze and
glistened in the rain. It was raining. The rain dripped from the palm trees. Water stood in pools on
the gravel paths. The sea broke in a long line in the rain and slipped back down the beach to come
up and break again in a long line in the rain. The motor cars were gone from the square by the war
monument. Across the square in the doorway of the café a waiter stood looking out at the empty
square.

The American wife stood at the window looking out. Outside right under their window a cat was
crouched under one of the dripping green tables. The cat was trying to make herself so compact
that she would not be dripped on.

‘I’m going down and get that kitty,’ the American wife said.

‘I’ll do it,’ her husband offered from the bed.

‘No, I’ll get it. The poor kitty out trying to keep dry under a table.’

The husband went on reading, lying propped up with the two pillows at the foot of the bed.

‘Don’t get wet,’ he said.

The wife went downstairs and the hotel owner stood up and bowed to her as she passed the office.
His desk was at the far end of the office. He was an old man and very tall.

‘Il piove,’ the wife said. She liked the hotel-keeper.


‘Si, Si, Signora, brutto tempo. It is very bad weather.’

He stood behind his desk in the far end of the dim room. The wife liked him. She liked the deadly
serious way he received any complaints. She liked his dignity. She liked the way he wanted to serve
her. She liked the way he felt about being a hotel-keeper. She liked his old, heavy face and big hands.

Liking him she opened the door and looked out. It was raining harder. A man in a rubber cape was
crossing the empty square to the café. The cat would be around to the right. Perhaps she could go
along under the eaves. As she stood in the doorway an umbrella opened behind her. It was the maid
who looked after their room.

TIME FOR LITERATURE


‘You must not get wet,’ she smiled, speaking Italian. Of course, the hotel-keeper had sent her.

With the maid holding the umbrella over her, she walked along the gravel path until she was under
their window. The table was there, washed bright green in the rain, but the cat was gone. She was
suddenly disappointed. The maid looked up at her.

‘Ha perduto qualque cosa, Signora?’

‘There was a cat,’ said the American girl.

‘A cat?’

‘Si, il gatto.’

‘A cat?’ the maid laughed. ‘A cat in the rain?’

‘Yes, –’ she said, ‘under the table.’ Then, ‘Oh, I wanted it so much. I wanted a kitty.

’ When she talked English the maid’s face tightened.

‘Come, Signora,’ she said. ‘We must get back inside. You will be wet.’

‘I suppose so,’ said the American girl.

They went back along the gravel path and passed in the door. The maid stayed outside to close the
umbrella. As the American girl passed the office, the padrone bowed from his desk. Something felt
very small and tight inside the girl. The padrone made her feel very small and at the same time
really important. She had a momentary feeling of being of supreme importance. She went on up the
stairs. She opened the door of the room. George was on the bed, reading.

‘Did you get the cat?’ he asked, putting the book down.

‘It was gone.’

‘Wonder where it went to,’ he said, resting his eyes from reading.
She sat down on the bed.

‘I wanted it so much,’ she said. ‘I don’t know why I wanted it so much. I wanted that poor kitty. It
isn’t any fun to be a poor kitty out in the rain.’

George was reading again.

She went over and sat in front of the mirror of the dressing table looking at herself with the hand
glass. She studied her profile, first one side and then the other. Then she studied the back of her
head and her neck.

‘Don’t you think it would be a good idea if I let my hair grow out?’ she asked, looking at her profile
again.

George looked up and saw the back of her neck, clipped close like a boy’s.

‘I like it the way it is.’

‘I get so tired of it,’ she said. ‘I get so tired of looking like a boy.’

George shifted his position in the bed. He hadn’t looked away from her since she started to speak. ‘

You look pretty darn nice,’ he said.

She laid the mirror down on the dresser and went over to the window and looked out. It was
getting dark.

‘I want to pull my hair back tight and smooth and make a big knot at the back that I can feel,’ she
said. ‘I want to have a kitty to sit on my lap and purr when I stroke her.’

‘Yeah?’ George said from the bed.

‘And I want to eat at a table with my own silver and I want candles. And I want it to be spring and I
want to brush my hair out in front of a mirror and I want a kitty and I want some new clothes.’

‘Oh, shut up and get something to read,’ George said. He was reading again.

His wife was looking out of the window. It was quite dark now and still raining in the palm trees.

‘Anyway, I want a cat,’ she said, ‘I want a cat. I want a cat now. If I can’t have long hair or any fun, I
can have a cat.’

George was not listening. He was reading his book.

His wife looked out of the window where the light had come on in the square. Someone knocked at
the door.

‘Avanti,’ George said. He looked up from his book. In the doorway stood the maid. She held a big
tortoise-shell cat pressed tight against her and swung down against her body.

‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘the padrone asked me to bring this for the Signora.’

Rain Will Fall


(by Alain Clark)

Hang around on a sunny day it’s alright

Picking flowers at the dawn of May it’s all bright

Safe people don’t go to pray and it’s alright

Saying sorry when you know you’re wrong it’s all good

Sing these lyrics to another song and it’s all good

Just as long as you go along it’s all good

But where there are clouds

Rain will fall


Cold love looks you in the eye and that’s okay

Two lovers with an alibi that’s touché

Ask no questions and you hear no lies is what they say

Ride the storm and laugh about it

It’s just a breeze if you look the other way

No sky’s ever been clear without it

Take a dive when the water’s warm

Blow the smoke away from the smoke alarm

Hurt no one and you do no harm

But don’t you know

That where there are clouds

Rain will fall

For Teenage Girls, Facebook Means Always Being Camera-Ready


By Randye Hoder
It used to be that the A people B concerned about getting caught in grungy sweat pants, sans makeup, were
starlets stalked by the paparazzi. But in today’s hyper-public Internet age, young teenagers are C living their
lives camera-ready — and it’s not a pretty picture.

I first noticed this while looking over my 14-year-old son’s shoulder at photos of his “friends” on Facebook.
Girls, in particular, seemed to be always posing for the camera: hair swept back, hand on hip, dressed just so.
[…]

Creating a persona via Facebook is nothing new. Kids have been doing this since the site was first launched
eight years ago. By D selecting their own profile pictures, younger teenagers have become quite adept at
managing their image. But what is E new is that the glare of the camera is never far away. And that is F
affecting how adolescent girls conduct themselves in their actual, everyday lives. Girls this age, who have felt
pressured G to look their best most of the time, H seem to feel as if they need to look their best all of the time.

Pride and Prejudice (by Jane Austen)

1. Jane Austen wrote six novels during her lifetime. They are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and
Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. All of them have been
adapted into movies. Have you ever seen any of these movies?

2. Take a look at a poster of the 2005 film version of Pride and Prejudice. The catch line on the
bottom reads:
Universal Pictures/Album Cinema/Latinstock

“Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can’t be
without.”

Now answer these two questions.

a) What genre do you expect the story to be?

b) Do you agree with the statement in the poster’s catch line? Why (not)?

3. Despite the effort of the movie director, sometimes movies are released with technical
problems. Below you have some mistakes in the movie adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.

4. Let’s tweet! Start by reading the first descriptive paragraph in Jane Austen’s text again.
“… Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of
England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much
delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before
Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”

The novel, as it has already been pointed out, was written in the 18th century. Notice that
people do not speak in the same way nowadays. Having this in mind, your task is to rewrite the
paragraph in the way you would say it nowadays and tweet about the arrival of a new boy/girl
in the neighborhood.
Remember to use colloquial everyday English of today, using no more than 140 characters!

Cat in the Rain

1. Connect the following sentences in such a way that you will have a summary of the short
story “Cat in the Rain”. Add connecting words and new expressions when necessary, such as
and, where, above all, after, later, also, or any other you wish. Use your notebook.

She likes the hotel owner a lot.

She wishes she had long hair in contrast with her short manly curls.

A young American couple is staying at a hotel in Italy after the end of war.

She could receive guests and use shining silver with candles on the table.

They have no friends there.

She wants a cat she can hold and stroke and call her own too.

The husband spends most of his time lying in bed reading a book.

She talks to the hotel owner.

She wishes she had a house of her own.

The hotel owner is a very kind old man.

She goes down to try to save the cat from the rain.

She goes back to the room.

The hotel maid comes to her door with the little cat.

The wife is restless.

She sees a cat in the patio in the rain.

She starts to wish for a lot of things.

The maid says the “padrone” had sent her the kitten.
The cat is gone.

2. Look back at the first chapter of Pride and Prejudice that you read in Time for Literature,
where the position of women in society was mentioned. Think of the American wife in “Cat in
the Rain” and, in pairs, discuss the following topics.

Pá gina 153

a) More than one hundred years after the time of Jane Austen, what was a woman’s position in
society?

b) Does the American wife seem freer to choose her own destiny than Austen’s heroines?

c) Does George, the American husband, seem to consider his wife’s wishes?

d) The narrator says that the wife likes the hotel owner, but it never says the wife likes her
husband. Why do you think this is?

e) When the wife asks her husband about letting her hair grow, it seems she depends on his
opinion even for small things. Do you think wives nowadays need that kind of reassurance?

f) The husband is more interested in the book he is reading than in his wife. With a married
couple today, would the husband be reading a book or working on his computer/checking his
cell phone? How do you see the interference of computers and the Internet in a couple’s
relationship nowadays?

g) It’s nearly one hundred years since “Cat in the Rain” was written. How do you compare
couples’ relationships like the one described by Hemingway with relationships of the 21 st
century?

3. Now read the following lines, written by Shakespeare in the 17th century, and answer the
questions that follow.

Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body To painful labour both by sea and land, To watch
the night in storms, the day in cold, Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe; And
craves no other tribute at thy hands But love, fair looks and true obedience; Too little payment
for so great a debt. (The Taming of the Shrew 5.2.145-53)

Crw Publishing/ID/BR
a) In this excerpt from The Taming of the Shrew, which words are used to describe the
husband?

b) According to Shakespeare’s text, what are the main qualities of a wife?

c) What does the text imply is the reward a husband expects from a wife?

d) And why should the wife give such rewards?

e) How would you compare marriage in Hemingway’s text with marriage in Shakespeare’s
play?

DID YOU KNOW…?

In old English thy means your, thee means you (as an object in the sentence) and thou
means you (as a subject in the sentence).

Observe also that in Old English st was used with the second person of verbs in the present.
Example: thou liest instead of you lie.

DID YOU KNOW…?

In 1967, the Italian movie director Franco Zeffirelli filmed this play by Shakespeare, featuring
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, two great actors of the time, and the film became a
classic. You can find it in video rentals if you are interested in checking out this very interesting
story.

You are going to learn how to design an interesting camera. You are also going to try different
experiments involving Physics. Before you start, ask a classmate these questions:

a) Do you usually take photos or make videos of family and friends?

b) Which device(s) do you normally use to take photos?

1. Read this text and answer the questions.

Pinhole Photography
History, Images, Cameras, Formulas by Jon Grepstad, 1996

Introduction
Pinhole photography is lensless photography. A tiny hole replaces the lens. Light passes
through the hole; an image is formed in the camera.

Pinhole cameras are small or large, improvised or designed with great care. Cameras have
been made of seashells, many have been made of oatmeal boxes, coke cans or cookie
containers, at least one has been made of a discarded refrigerator. Cameras have been cast in
plaster like a face mask, constructed from beautiful hardwoods, built of metal with bellows and
a range of multiple pinholes. Station wagons have been used as pinhole cameras – and rooms
in large buildings. Basically a pinhole camera is a box, with a tiny hole at one end and film or
photographic paper at the other.

Pinhole cameras are used for fun, for art and for science.

Designing and building the cameras are great fun. Making images with cameras you have made
yourself is a great pleasure, too. But in serious photography the pinhole camera is just an
imaging device with its advantages and limitations, special characteristics and potentials. By
making the best of the camera’s potential great images can be produced. Some of the images
could not have been produced with a lens. […]

a) What is the difference between a “regular” camera and a pinhole camera?

b) Which materials/things have already been used to build pinhole cameras?

Pá gina 157

You are the researcher!


How about making a pinhole camera?
These are the things you will need:

• a shoebox (or any similar box)

• blackout for a window (e.g. black card that can be taped over a window)

• aluminum foil (about 3 cm × 3 cm)

• a pin or sharp point (Be very careful when using this!)

• tape

• scissors

• craft knife (Be very careful when using this!)

• a ruler

• a lamp or a lit candle (Be very careful when using this!)

This is the procedure for your experiment:

• Cut a square about 2 cm × 2 cm in the center of one side of the shoebox.

• Put the foil over the 2 cm square hole and tape it to the side of the shoebox.

• Use a pin or similar instrument to make a small hole in the foil.


• Your shoebox with pinhole is your pinhole camera.

This is how you use the pinhole camera:

• First check that you get an image with your pinhole camera: Place a light source in front of
the pinhole camera (see illustration). Then turn off all other lights.

• You should be able to see an image of the object on the opposite side of the shoebox.

Experiments related to image production and
common phenomena studied in Physics
Look at the following projects. Choose one of them for an experiment. Ask your physics teacher
to help you.

Project 1: Making your photos move


Discover how you can make your photos move by trying this exciting experiment.

• Set up your digital camera on a tripod or in a secure spot near a busy street corner. If you
don’t have access to a street corner, choose a fixed subject matter in a changing environment,
such as a tree that catches morning and afternoon sun, or a flower that closes its petals at
night.

• Remove any obstacles in front of your subject matter. Don’t move your camera once the
project has started.

• Keep the flash turned off for day pictures, and turn your night mode on for pictures taken
between twilight and dawn.

• Set a watch to go off every hour to remind you to take a photo of your subject matter. In 24
hours, you should have 24 images in succession.

• Upload the images into a slide show format on your computer and put it on a loop. Extend the
amount of pictures in your experiment to see changes over days, weeks, or even months.

Project 2: Create lightening


Lightening is a beautiful and frightening natural element. You can hear its boom from miles
and miles away and see it light up a completely dark sky – if only for a moment. Did you know
that you can create your own lightening using things that you are likely to find in your home or
at the grocery store? You will be able to see and possibly hear the lightening as it’s created!

Here’s how you can make your very own lightening! You will need the following:

• a foil pie plate

• a pen (ball point)

• a tack

• a sock (must be wool)

• Styrofoam block

• glue (if necessary)


• a cell phone with camera, if you have one

• notebook paper or journal

CG Mattos/Shutterstock.com/ID/BR

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (undated photo).

Pá gina 159

This is the procedure for your experiment:

• Gather your materials on a table.

• Begin by placing your tack in the pie plate from the bottom up. The sharp point should be
sticking out of the top of the pie plate.

• Place the pen in the pie plate, using the tack to anchor it. You may need to use a drop or two
of glue to get the pen anchored well. If you use glue, let it dry before proceeding. After this,
don’t touch the pie plate with your hands! You will not be able to conduct the experiment if you
do.

• Take the sock and rub the block of Styrofoam quickly. This will create the negative charge
you need to produce the lightening spark.

• Pick up the pie plate by holding on to the pen and push it down on top of the Styrofoam block
so the tack is lodged into the Styrofoam and anchors it in place.

• Turn off the lights. If it is possible, you can film the lightening spark.

• Bring your hand towards the pie plate slowly, without touching it. This will complete the
experiment.

Observation
Record each step of the experiment in your journal or on a piece of notebook paper. Be sure to
describe everything in detail if you don’t have a video camera to record the experiment.

Result

When you bring your hand close to the pie plate, an electric spark will be created. You will see
and hear it and possibly even feel it! What you have created is tiny lightening!

Project 3: Spectrum through water


Create a spectrum using a beam of light passing through water to form rainbow colors on the
ceiling.

These are the materials you will need:

• a shallow bowl

• water

• a mirror

• a flashlight

This is the procedure for your experiment:

• Fill a shallow bowl with water.

• Place a mirror in the shallow bowl with water so that it is at an angle of about 30 degrees to
the surface of the water.

• Make the room dark (turn off lights/cover windows with dark cloth or paper).

• Shine the flashlight on the mirror. Remember: The angle at which the mirror is placed is
crucial to the formation of the spectrum on the ceiling.

Observation

When a beam of light from the flashlight is shone on the mirror immersed in water, a small
spectrum of rainbow colors appears on the ceiling.

Result

The experiment proves that white light is composed of different colors of the spectrum, each
possessing different wavelengths. Each water molecule acts as a simple prism causing the
refraction of each wavelength of light at a different angle, ultimately leading to the formation of
the colors of the spectrum on the surface on which the reflected beam of light falls.

Anchor: Over in Brazil the President, Dilma Roussef, announced a 65 billion dollar plan to help
stimulate the economy there centered on infrastructure. The plan offers 14,000 kilometers of
its roads and railways to the private sector. Karina Huber has more.

Reporter: Brazil is gearing up for a massive influx of visitors. In 2016 it will host the Olympics.
Two years before that the Football World Cup. In February it privatized three of its largest
airports in a bid to improve its infrastructure ahead of the arrival of all those athletes and
tourists. Now President Roussef has announced Brazil will be offering concessions to roads,
railways, ports and maybe some other airports to the private sector. Growth in Brazil is
predicted to be under two percent this year – a big drop from its 7.5 percent rate in 2010. Part
of its slowdown is due to slower global growth, but also due to weak infrastructure.
International economists with a specialty in emerging markets, like Joseph Foudy, think 65
billion dollars is not enough to get Brazil’s economy back on track, but he says focusing on
improving its infrastructure is a good first step.

Joseph Foudy: The number one challenge that, uhm,

Pá gina 161

Brazilian observers and international observers see is the quality of infrastructure. We really
worry this is a bottleneck on GDP that when the country starts growing too fast, uhm, inflation
sets in, uhm, earlier and faster in Brazil than in other countries, so anything they can do to
really improve the quality of infrastructure is gonna pay big dividends down the road.

Reporter: Brazil is also preparing to get rid of some taxes industries have to pay for energy.

amputation or death. Soccer soothes her pain.

Judith: “Now I feel like I’m alive because, before that, after I lost my leg, I didn’t have any hope
for the future. Even though I was walking on crutches.”

And they are a sight to behold beyond the normal bounds of balance. Team president Cedieu
Fortilus says the players have changed the entire country’s attitude about the disabled.

“When I see they are playing like that I’m so proud, I’m so proud I think I’m doing a good job.
So I see so many people, even Haitians, even if they are crossing in the street, they take time to
look at them because they are doing something very strange. Something many Haitians never
see in their life.”

Off their crutches they tend to blend in. Each player is fitted with a state of the art prosthetic
for home use. Every centimeter of it is designed to mimic a real leg. Legs like these cost about
fifty thousand dollars in the US. Here in Haiti they are free.

Several private non-profit organizations in the United States fund a team and prosthetics for all
Haitians who need them.

“Just do it without the crutches, ha?”


The team name, Zorian, is creole for Tarantula, a spider that can function without a limb.

“Soccer has taught me to do a lot of things on one leg that I wasn’t used to doing before. I feel
comfortable when I’m playing.”

Team Zorian, showing the world not what its players can’t do without two legs, but what they
can do with just one.

intelligence of a computer.

Reporter: Will it still be called television after all these social aspects and things are kind of
integrated into what we traditionally think of as our television set?

Interviewee: I think TV as a concept in consumers’ minds will continue to change and will
continue to evolve. So, really, the Internet won’t kill TV at all. TV is so powerful, people love it
so much, that they’ll just absorb it and just keep on moving. For us, as we move forward, when
you have the Internet and that connectivity, what it means is you have personalization. And I
think, as we continue to move further out, TV is gonna move off the wall. Or you’ve got smart
phones, you’ve got laptops, you’ve got cars, we’re beginning to see that, like we’re beginning to
see some cool little apps that are coming out to do that. And I think you’ll see more of them.

PARTE 1 – Aspectos gerais da coleção


APRESENTAÇÃO DA OBRA
A Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educaçã o Nacional (BRASIL, 1996) estabelece, em seu Art. 35, as
finalidades do Ensino Médio.

Art. 35. O Ensino Médio, etapa final da educaçã o bá sica, com duraçã o mínima de três anos, terá como
finalidades:

1. a consolidação e o aprofundamento dos conhecimentos adquiridos no Ensino Fundamental, possibilitando o


prosseguimento de estudos; 2. a preparaçã o bá sica para o trabalho e a cidadania do educando, para continuar
aprendendo, de modo a ser capaz de se adaptar com flexibilidade a novas condiçõ es de ocupaçã o ou
aperfeiçoamento posteriores; 3. o aprimoramento do educando como pessoa humana, incluindo a formaçã o
ética e o desenvolvimento da autonomia intelectual e do pensamento crítico; 4. a compreensã o dos
fundamentos científico-tecnoló gicos dos processos produtivos, relacionando a teoria com a prá tica, no ensino
de cada disciplina.

Esta coleçã o didá tica atende a todas as finalidades dispostas na legislaçã o ao:

1. consolidar e aprofundar os conhecimentos de língua inglesa adquiridos no Ensino


Fundamental;

2. auxiliar na preparaçã o para a cidadania e o trabalho, reunindo temas que contribuem para a
reflexã o sobre a cidadania, o desenvolvimento de atitudes solidá rias e afirmativas, e o
conhecimento sobre diversas profissõ es;

3. discutir temas e propor atividades que contribuem para o aprimoramento do educando


como ser humano, incluindo a formaçã o ética e o desenvolvimento da autonomia intelectual e
do pensamento crítico;
4. contribuir para a compreensã o dos fundamentos linguísticos associados à açã o em prá ticas
sociais mediadas pela linguagem, algo que ocorre, sobretudo, em atividades de produçã o
escrita, nas quais os alunos produzem gêneros textuais que circulam socialmente, sempre com
finalidades de comunicaçã o real. A frequência é maior em atividades de escrita, visto que os
letramentos possuem ainda maior enfoque no ensino formal pú blico do que a oralidade, a qual,
ainda assim, não deixa de ser contemplada na coleçã o.

Partindo do pressuposto de que a aprendizagem da língua inglesa deve ser inserida em


prá ticas sociais da linguagem, estimulamos a busca por oportunidades para aprender e agir
com a língua inglesa em experiências tanto dentro quanto fora da sala de aula. O material
fomenta também a autonomia do aluno e a reflexã o sobre sua pró pria aprendizagem ao
disponibilizar, ao final de cada unidade, um formulá rio de autoavaliaçã o ( Time to reflect) e
dicas de aprendizagem (Learning tips).

A fim de criar as oportunidades de uso da língua, o material apresenta um diá logo constante
com ferramentas digitais para ampliar o contato com o idioma e para estimular a motivaçã o e a
criatividade dos alunos. A coleçã o incentiva o aluno, o tempo todo, a produzir e divulgar
diversos textos em papel ou no ambiente digital. Dessa forma, o aluno nã o é apenas
consumidor de textos produzidos por outrem, ele é também um produtor de linguagem
multimodal relevante em seu contexto, o que contribui para maior inserçã o digital e social,
como indicam as orientaçõ es curriculares (BRASIL, 2006, p. 98).

Dentro do espírito de um ensino inovador, esta coleçã o trabalha com questõ es


interdisciplinares de forma que o aluno possa vivenciar experiências que não se limitam à
aprendizagem da língua inglesa, mas que o motivam a se emancipar intelectualmente,
refletindo sobre seu papel social e sua consequente participaçã o na sociedade. A
interdisciplinaridade é um item explorado de maneira mais específica nas atividades propostas
na seçã o Crossing boundaries, porém esse conceito permeia toda a obra já a partir da seleçã o
dos temas abordados e da maneira com que sã o tratados, permitindo trabalhos
interdisciplinares que levam em conta, inclusive, o entorno da escola.

Essas atividades podem ser desenvolvidas em conjunto com outros professores da escola,
cabendo a cada professor, a partir das oportunidades e restriçõ es de seu contexto, definir a
dimensã o dessa colaboraçã o.

Esta coleçã o certamente contribuirá para um projeto pedagó gico comprometido com um
ensino inovador, tendo em vista que atende aos indicativos previstos no documento do MEC
sobre o Ensino Médio inovador (BRASIL, 2009, p. 19-20), como o estímulo à iniciaçã o científica
e a açõ es artístico-culturais; a promoçã o de aprendizagem criativa; a construçã o de
conhecimento que supera a mera memorizaçã o; a valorizaçã o da leitura com a inclusã o de
textos diversos; o incentivo à leitura extensiva e ao letramento crítico; o fomento ao
“comportamento ético, como ponto de partida para o reconhecimento dos deveres e direitos
da cidadania; praticando um humanismo contemporâ neo”, reconhecendo que há vá rias
identidades e aprendendo a conviver com elas de maneira cidadã ; a utilizaçã o das “novas
mídias e tecnologias educacionais, como processo de dinamizaçã o dos ambientes de
aprendizagem”; o estímulo “ao autodidatismo e autonomia”; a promoçã o de “atividades sociais
que estimulem o convívio humano e interativo do mundo dos jovens”; a reflexã o sobre o
mundo do trabalho; “a interdisciplinaridade e contextualizaçã o dos conhecimentos”; a
sugestã o de “atividades complementares e de reforço da aprendizagem” com a mediaçã o das
tecnologias de aprendizagem e de comunicaçã o.

OBJETIVOS GERAIS
Os objetivos desta obra, listados a seguir, foram estabelecidos com base nas orientaçõ es dos
documentos norteadores do Ensino Médio no Brasil, em especial, as orientaçõ es curriculares
(BRASIL, 2006). Sã o eles:

• Desenvolver competências que tornem os alunos aptos a se engajar em atividades de uso da


linguagem para compreender melhor o mundo em que vivem e dele participar criticamente.

• Desenvolver, de modo integrado e contextualizado, as habilidades linguísticas (compreensã o


oral e escrita, produçã o oral e escrita), a fim de que os aprendizes possam utilizá -las em
prá ticas sociais diversas.

• Levar os alunos a reconhecer e a usar a língua inglesa como instrumento de acesso a


informaçõ es, grupos sociais e culturas de diferentes partes do mundo.

• Desenvolver nos alunos a consciência linguística e a consciência crítica dos usos que se fazem
da língua que estã o aprendendo, trabalho que é realizado com maior ênfase nas atividades de
compreensã o e produçã o escrita, mas que se faz presente também nas atividades de
compreensã o e produçã o oral, ainda que com menor destaque, pelas razõ es apresentadas no
item 4 do bloco introdutó rio deste texto.

• Levar o aluno a reconhecer as variaçõ es linguísticas (regionais, de classe social, gênero,


registro, etc.) e a questionar possíveis preconceitos a elas relacionados.

• Promover, a partir de temas que permitem trabalhos interdisciplinares, a articulaçã o entre a


língua inglesa e outras á reas do conhecimento, de modo a contribuir para um currículo
abrangente e integrado.

• Desenvolver estratégias de aprendizagem variadas, incluindo aquelas relacionadas à


aprendizagem colaborativa, com vistas à formaçã o de cidadã os autô nomos e solidá rios.

Os objetivos específicos relativos a cada seçã o que compõ e o Livro do Aluno e a cada unidade
serã o apresentados mais adiante, na seçã o Descrição das unidades e seções deste Manual e na
seçã o de detalhamento das unidades, respectivamente.

CONCEITO DE LINGUA(GEM) E AÇÃO COM LINGUA(GEM)


Para atingir todos esses objetivos, trabalhamos com o pressuposto de que língua e linguagem
sã o elementos insepará veis de um mesmo fenô meno. Adotamos, assim, o uso do termo
“lingua(gem)”, entendido como um sistema semió tico complexo que compreende processos
biocognitivos, só cio-histó ricos e político-culturais e que, como já dizia Saussure (1995),
pertence ao domínio individual e ao domínio social. A língua como um sistema complexo nã o é
apenas conjunto de estruturas linguísticas, mas um sistema vivo e dinâ mico em constante
evoluçã o e mudança e que se auto-organiza na produçã o de texto/sentido. Vale lembrar que os
conceitos de Saussure dos quais lançamos mã o sã o revisitados, em consonância com as novas
teorias sociais de aprendizagem de línguas.

Como todo sistema complexo, a lingua(gem) é um sistema aberto e novos componentes vã o se


agregando, fazendo que o sistema mude e se auto-organize constantemente. Daí a importâ ncia
de mostrarmos aos alunos mudanças e variaçõ es linguísticas. Nesse processo dinâ mico e auto-
organizativo, a lingua(gem) nos constitui como sujeitos sociais, revela nossas identidades e nos
permite vivenciar nossa subjetividade, nossos papéis sociais, e nos fornece elementos para
refletirmos sobre a sociedade e nela agirmos.

Agir na sociedade implica, necessariamente, o uso de gêneros textuais. Como afirma Bazerman
(2006, p. 19), “gêneros não sã o somente formas textuais, mas também formas de vida e de
açã o”. Ele acrescenta que “[a] abordagem social do gênero transforma-o em uma açã o social, e
assim em uma ferramenta de agência”. Adotamos, nesta coleçã o, a definiçã o de gênero segundo
Bazerman (2006, p. 23):

Gêneros sã o formas de vida, modos de ser. Sã o frames para a ação social. Sã o ambientes para a aprendizagem.
Sã o os lugares onde o sentido é construído. Os gêneros moldam os pensamentos que formamos e as
comunicaçõ es através das quais interagimos. Gêneros sã o os lugares familiares para onde nos dirigimos para
criar açõ es comunicativas inteligíveis uns com os outros e sã o os modelos que utilizamos para explorar o nã o
familiar.

Os trabalhos propostos com os diversos gêneros orais e escritos têm por objetivo criar açõ es
comunicativas, ou seja, levar o aluno a agir no mundo que o cerca. Além dos gêneros
tradicionais, o material estimula o aprendiz a ler e a produzir textos multimodais e digitais,
incluindo, entre outros, as mensagens tipo “texting” e mensagens criativas para correios de
voz.

As atividades propostas motivam os alunos a agir, a usar a língua em prá ticas sociais da
linguagem. Estimulam também a reflexã o pessoal, comunicaçã o e interaçã o, divertimento,
prazer estético, enfim, o estar no mundo mediado pela lingua(gem). Os textos nã o serã o
instrumentos para o ensino artificial de estruturas gramaticais. Ao contrá rio, a gramá tica
estará sempre a serviço de uma situaçã o de açã o com a linguagem, o que nã o significa que o
aluno nã o tenha oportunidade, esporadicamente, de ter contato com algum exercício de
natureza mais formal, o qual, ainda assim, estará sempre vinculado ao tema da unidade ou da
parte em questã o.

Orientados pelos princípios da complexidade (Larsen-Freeman, 1997; Paiva, 2005; Larsen-


Freeman, Cameron, 2008), entendemos a aprendizagem como um sistema complexo. Por isso,
não descartamos as demais teorias,

Pá gina 181

pois acreditamos que cada uma delas nos apresenta a visã o de um aspecto da aquisiçã o. Assim,
a noçã o de aprendizagem que serve de suporte à nossa coleçã o aposta:

1. na capacidade inata para aprender uma língua;

2. na importâ ncia de há bitos automá ticos, como no caso do uso de algumas expressõ es
formulaicas e na aprendizagem de elementos sonoros;

3. na importâ ncia do insumo linguístico obtido por meio da exposiçã o a prá ticas sociais da
linguagem autênticas, contextualizadas e socialmente significativas;

4. na importâ ncia da interaçã o, da lingualizaçã o (output) e da negociaçã o de sentido, presente,


de maneira mais recorrente, na seçã o de produçã o escrita, em que os alunos têm um pú blico
claro para o qual escrevem e precisam negociar que tipo de linguagem e que registro utilizar;
5. no papel das conexõ es neurais;

6. na relevâ ncia da construçã o da identidade;

7. na necessidade da mediaçã o social, ideia que é explorada, principalmente, nos quadros


Beyond the lines..., momento em que os alunos sã o convidados a refletir criticamente sobre
aspectos sociais presentes nos temas abordados nos textos;

8. na aprendizagem situada em comunidades de prá tica, etc.

Nossa proposta se apoia em uma visã o de aprendizagem como um sistema dinâ mico, um
sistema em movimento que alterna momentos de estabilidade e de turbulência e que muda
constantemente. A aprendizagem, nessa perspectiva, nã o pode ser vista como produto, mas
como processo dinâ mico, como algo em permanente evoluçã o.

Como os alunos e seus contextos sã o diferentes, também serã o diferentes seus processos de
aquisiçã o e nã o podemos prever como será a rota de cada um. No entanto, cabe a nó s
professores estimulá -los a manter seus sistemas de aprendizagem sempre em movimento, com
desafios frequentes e oportunidades de uso da língua de forma significativa.

Seguindo as Orientaçõ es Curriculares para o Ensino Médio (BRASIL, 2006), esta coleçã o inclui
o ensino da leitura, da prá tica escrita e da comunicaçã o oral contextualizadas, sem perder de
vista o papel educacional do ensino de uma língua adicional.

CONCEITO DE AQUISIÇÃO DE LINGUAGEM

Conforme a proposta de Paiva (2009, p. 36), entendemos aquisiçã o como:

um sistema não linear e dinâ mico, composto de inter-relaçõ es entre elementos bioló gicos, psicoló gicos, sociais
e tudo o que o social implica, tais como aspectos histó ricos, econô micos, culturais e políticos. São essas
interconexõ es que nos fazem pensar e agir através da linguagem.

Entendemos, também como Paiva (2009, p. 43), que:

a aprendizagem é, também, uma experiência identitá ria porque transforma quem nó s somos e o que podemos
fazer. Nã o é apenas uma questã o de há bitos automá ticos ou de acú mulo de informaçõ es metalinguísticas, mas
um processo de transformaçã o, de mudança.

Adotar um conceito de aquisiçã o como um sistema complexo implica admitir não apenas a
existência de estruturas mentais inatas, como também a importâ ncia de criaçã o de há bitos
automá ticos; a interferência das identidades, das interaçõ es, do input linguístico assim como
da produçã o de linguagem, o papel das redes neurais e também das redes sociais que
permitem a mediaçã o de outros participantes no processo de aquisiçã o.

Assim como a língua, a aquisiçã o também é um sistema dinâ mico, que muda ao longo do tempo
e que alterna momentos de estabilidade e de turbulências, sendo estas essenciais para a
evoluçã o do sistema.

Entendemos também que as experiências de aprendizagem sã o diferentes mesmo em face de


contextos muito semelhantes e que o papel do material didá tico é estimular atividades
criativas, mas também incentivar a autonomia do aprendiz para que ele possa buscar novas
experiências, dinamizando assim seu processo de aquisiçã o.

A ABORDAGEM
A abordagem proposta pela coleçã o pode ser denominada abordagem complexa, pois não se
limita ao ensino da língua para a comunicaçã o, mas também para reflexã o e açã o na sociedade,
como é possível observar, por exemplo, no tipo de questã o proposta nos quadrosBeyond the
lines... e nas orientaçõ es da seçã o Let’s act with words que se relacionam com o entorno da
escola. Uma abordagem complexa inclui também a reflexã o metalinguística, o que é feito nas
seçõ es Focus on language.

Como explicam Borges e Paiva (2011, p. 350), com base em Larsen-Freeman e Cameron
(2008), uma abordagem complexa deve “(1) propiciar o desenvolvimento da competência
ecoló gica (conectividade mente-corpo-mundo) dos alunos; (2) organizar-se na base da
dinamicidade da linguagem e dos demais componentes de sala de aula; (3) enfatizar a
negociaçã o de sentidos e os processos de mudança (coadaptaçã o); (4) centrar-se no processo
de aprendizagem e de desempenho dos alunos”.

Além disso, Borges e Paiva (2011, p. 350-351) acrescentam, entre outros pressupostos, que
uma abordagem complexa deve:

a) tomar a lingua(gem) e a aquisição de língua como SACs1 [...];

b) entender a natureza do ensino/aprendizagem como multifacetada [...];

Pá gina 182

c) conceber o professor como um dos elementos que dá dinamicidade ao sistema de ensino e de aprendizagem e
nã o como mero reprodutor passivo de métodos e técnicas [...];

e) [...] entender as práticas sociais da lingua(gem) […], incluindo, aqui, também, o letramento digital, como
elementos essenciais no processo de aquisição [...];

g) [...] considerar que “o ensino e a interaçã o professor-aluno constroem e restringem as affordances2”


(Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, 2008, p. 199), ou seja, o processo de se perceberem os objetos permeados de
valoraçã o na aprendizagem. A noçã o de affordance traz à tona, ainda, uma percepçã o importante da
interdependência do aprendiz com o ambiente [...].

AS QUATRO HABILIDADES LINGUÍSTICAS E O CONCEITO DE


MULTILETRAMENTOS

Tradicionalmente, o ensino de inglês tem se organizado com base nas quatro habilidades
linguísticas: compreensã o escrita e compreensã o oral, produçã o escrita e produçã o oral. Essas
habilidades, entretanto, nã o ocorrem de modo isolado nas prá ticas sociais. Ao contrá rio, na era
digital em que vivemos, a integraçã o hipertextual de texto escrito, imagem e som torna ainda
mais evidente a conexã o entre as diferentes habilidades.

Para denominar os usos heterogêneos da linguagem em que formas de leitura e escrita


interagem em prá ticas socioculturais, pode-se recorrer ao termo “letramento” ou
“letramentos” (no plural para dar conta de diferentes tipos de letramento, como “visual”,

1
SACs é um acrônimo para Sistemas Adaptativos Complexos. Os SACs são sistemas compostos por elementos em interação e que
estão sempre em mudança porque são sensíveis à experiência e ao feedback.
2
Affordances, neste contexto, podem ser entendidas como as oportunidades de aprendizagem.
“digital”, etc.) e até mesmo ao conceito de multiletramentos, proposto por Cope e Kalantzis
(2000) para designar a multiplicidade de usos da linguagem e de habilidades envolvidas nesse
novo contexto multimodal que constituem um processo mais complexo de (re)criaçã o e de
negociaçã o de sentidos.

Nesta coleçã o, seguindo a tradiçã o, fazemos referência à s quatro habilidades, mas sem perder
de vista os multiletramentos necessá rios para o aluno agir e interagir no mundo. Dessa forma,
buscamos o desenvolvimento das quatro habilidades, considerando seus usos em diferentes
contextos socioculturais e suas possíveis formas de integraçã o. Embora, por razõ es didá ticas,
haja seçõ es no Livro do Aluno que se referem a apenas uma das quatro habilidades, nã o
queremos sugerir que seja possível compartimentalizá -las na prá tica social. Isso explica por
que, ao longo da coleçã o, optamos frequentemente por criar seçõ es que integram duas ou mais
habilidades linguísticas.

Incluímos, ao longo de toda a obra, informaçõ es sobre uma série de ferramentas digitais
gratuitas de forma que a aprendizagem de língua inglesa esteja também associada ao
letramento tecnoló gico. Com o uso dessas ferramentas, o aluno passa a ser também produtor
de textos digitais e multimodais, e nã o apenas consumidor de conteú do em inglês na web.

A seguir, descrevemos como cada uma das quatro habilidades é trabalhada ao longo da obra.

A COMPREENSÃO ESCRITA

Em consonâ ncia com a visã o de linguagem e com a abordagem de ensino de línguas aqui
adotadas e também com as orientaçõ es curriculares para o ensino de inglês no Ensino Médio,
esta coleçã o desenvolve estratégias de leitura, a compreensã o de informaçõ es do texto e a
reflexã o crítica do leitor. A escolha de textos, sempre autênticos e variados, teve como
prioridade temas que fossem do interesse dos alunos e que oferecessem oportunidade de
reflexã o sobre a sociedade e ampliaçã o da visã o de mundo, conforme previsto nas orientaçõ es
curriculares (BRASIL, 2006, p. 114). As atividades de leitura, na seçã o Let’s read!, estimulam a
construçã o de sentido a partir do texto, conduzindo o aluno a ir além do texto para que
estabeleça conexõ es com seu conhecimento de mundo e com seu contexto de forma a se
posicionar criticamente.

Além de explorar as informaçõ es veiculadas e inferidas nos textos, as atividades de leitura


conduzem o aluno para além do texto, estimulando-o a fazer uma leitura crítica. Essas questõ es
aparecem, prioritariamente, em uma seçã o intitulada Beyond the lines.

A COMPREENSÃO ORAL

Para o desenvolvimento das atividades de compreensã o oral, cada volume da coleçã o (tanto o
Livro do Aluno quanto o Manual do Professor) é acompanhado por um CD de á udio. O CD de
á udio, conforme mencionado na descriçã o dos componentes da obra (mais adiante), contém o
á udio das mú sicas e dos textos orais usados nas seçõ es Turn on the jukebox! e Let’s listen and
talk! e naquelas que integram a habilidade de compreensã o oral a outras.

Assim como nas atividades de leitura, também utilizamos, para o desenvolvimento da


habilidade de compreensã o oral, textos orais autênticos de diferentes gêneros. No caso de
alguns textos originais mais longos, optamos por fazer pequenos cortes, a fim de construir
textos de tamanho adequado à s atividades pedagó gicas propostas, mas sem alterar as
principais características do gênero em foco e sem soarem artificiais.
À exceçã o das mú sicas da seçã o Turn on the jukebox! e de algumas atividades em que o aluno
deve completar o texto apó s ouvi-lo, as transcriçõ es dos textos orais apresentados no CD de
á udio se encontram ao final do Livro do Aluno. Assim, o aluno pode perceber que é capaz de
desenvolver aos poucos sua habilidade de compreensã o auditiva sem precisar,
necessariamente, de um suporte escrito. No caso das mú sicas, as letras estã o transcritas para
que, depois de

Pá gina 183

uma atividade de compreensã o e reconhecimento de sons, os alunos possam acompanhá -las


enquanto cantam.

A PRODUÇÃO ORAL

A pesquisa sobre narrativas de aprendizagem tem revelado que muitos aprendizes de inglês
relatam sua frustraçã o por nã o terem tido a oportunidade de participar de atividades de fala
em inglês na sala de aula (PAIVA, 2007) e também lembram com carinho dos professores que
se empenharam em ajudá -los a desenvolver essa habilidade.

Esta coleçã o procura atender ao anseio dos aprendizes que querem aprender a falar inglês,
oferecendo oportunidades de prá ticas orais mais livres, bem como de expressã o da pró pria
opiniã o, com a colaboraçã o do professor.

A seçã o Let’s listen and talk!, ou uma seçã o que integre a fala a outra(s) habilidade(s),
apresenta atividades de produçã o oral relacionadas, de alguma forma, ao tema desenvolvido
na unidade. Essa relaçã o temá tica permite a utilizaçã o de vocabulá rio, estruturas linguísticas e
outros conteú dos já estudados e discutidos pelos alunos ao longo da unidade, proporcionando-
lhes mais confiança para se expressarem, sem perder o foco no sentido. Além disso, ao integrar
a atividade de fala a outras habilidades, como a compreensã o oral, o material oferece aos
aprendizes amostras da língua em uso de forma que eles possam perceber as variaçõ es
linguísticas orais e escritas. Um exemplo disso é a linguagem da internet. O professor deve
também lembrar aos alunos sobre variaçõ es coloquiais na interaçã o oral, como o uso de “Yep”
e “Nope”, em vez de “Yes” e “No”. É importante que o aprendiz perceba que, em contextos
informais, é possível usar essas outras formas.

A obra apresenta também atividades de pronú ncia e entonaçã o vinculadas à habilidade de


produçã o oral, nas quais, depois de perceber e reconhecer determinados sons, sequências de
sons e ritmo em palavras e/ou frases, os alunos têm a oportunidade de repeti-los, tornando-se
mais seguros para pronunciar alguns termos e frases em inglês que costumam trazer mais
dificuldade para os falantes do português. Além dessas atividades, há indicaçõ es de pá ginas da
internet em que o aluno pode encontrar mais recursos para praticar a pronú ncia e a
entonaçã o.

No entanto, o objetivo das atividades de fala nã o é formar falantes que se assemelham aos
nativos, e o sotaque deve ser visto como uma característica identitá ria típica de qualquer
falante de uma língua estrangeira. O objetivo é ajudar o aprendiz a desenvolver a capacidade
de se expressar em inglês em situaçõ es sociais adequadas a sua idade de forma compreensível
e adequada.

É relevante observar que aprender a falar implica agir discursivamente e que isso vai além do
domínio de estruturas sintá ticas e de vocabulá rio. É por esse motivo que nenhuma das
atividades orais nesta coleçã o demanda dos alunos, por exemplo, respostas completas, pois
uma das regras conversacionais prescreve que se forneça apenas a informaçã o solicitada.

• A pronúncia

O CD de á udio contém atividades de pronú ncia que aparecem em todas as unidades, vinculadas
a seçõ es de compreensã o e/ou produçã o oral. Essas atividades têm por objetivo focar
determinados sons e servem de apoio para as atividades de produçã o oral.

As atividades de pronú ncia no boxe Pronunciation spot visam chamar a atençã o para os
principais problemas de pronú ncia que afetam falantes brasileiros do inglês e oferecer
oportunidade de conscientizaçã o e de prá tica desses aspectos. Aconselhamos o professor
interessado em investir mais no ensino de pronú ncia a consultar duas obras brasileiras sobre o
tema:

SILVA, T. C. Pronúncia do inglês: para falantes do português brasileiro. Sã o Paulo: Contexto, 2012.

A PRODUÇÃO ESCRITA

Nossa proposta de produçã o textual se baseia na abordagem da escrita como processo


associado ao trabalho com gêneros.

Na abordagem da escrita como processo, conforme alerta Raimes (1983, p. 10), “o aluno não
escreve sobre um determinado tó pico, durante um tempo definido, e entrega a redaçã o para o
professor ‘corrigir’ – o que, geralmente, significa encontrar erros”. Em uma abordagem com
foco no processo, o aluno produz um gênero textual com oportunidade de muitas revisõ es e
com suporte de diferentes tipos de feedback: do pró prio produtor do texto e seu primeiro
leitor, dos colegas e do professor.

Tendo em vista que, além de produzir um texto, é necessá rio fazê-lo circular, associamos a
abordagem da escrita como processo à perspectiva dos gêneros e adotamos o conceito de
gênero como prá tica social, como propõ e Miller (1994). Para ela, “os gêneros servem como
chaves para a compreensã o de como participar nas açõ es de uma comunidade” (p. 39). Nã o é
por coincidência que as atividades de produçã o textual ao final de cada unidade se intitulam
Let’s act with words. Entendemos que escrever é agir e para isso oferecemos oportunidades
diversas de açã o ao longo de cada livro que incluem, dentre outras atividades, fazer um script e
gravar uma mensagem para o correio de voz, tuitar, criar pô steres, linhas de tempo, etc.

A abordagem dos gêneros focaliza a compreensã o e a produçã o de textos que circulam na


sociedade. Privilegia-se o texto em sua totalidade, e nã o como conjunto de unidades frasais em
uma dada sequência. O foco re-

Pá gina 184

cai na língua em uso, em açõ es comunicativas, e nã o em formas gramaticais isoladas. A


gramá tica passa a ser entendida como um componente a serviço de uma organizaçã o
discursiva. O contexto, incluindo o propó sito da escrita, adquire grande importâ ncia nessa
abordagem.

No trabalho com gêneros, é importante expor os alunos a amostras do gênero em estudo em


seu contexto cultural, mostrar que sua estrutura é relativamente está vel e que não existe uma
fó rmula ú nica. Antes de iniciar as atividades didá ticas com um gênero específico, aconselha-se
o professor a verificar se existem publicaçõ es sobre esse gênero em questã o, pois esse estudo
preliminar pode ajudar no desenvolvimento das atividades didá ticas.

Com base nos estudos de Paltridge (2004) e naqueles organizados por Abreu-Tardelli e
Cristó vã o (2009) e Cristó vã o e Nascimento (2005), propomos quatro etapas para o
desenvolvimento do trabalho de produçã o escrita a partir do conceito de gênero: (1) seleçã o
docorpus; (2) observaçã o da situaçã o de açã o de linguagem em que esse gênero é produzido;
(3) aná lise de corpus; e (4) produçã o do texto.

Na etapa (1), o trabalho de seleçã o e análise de corpus, ou seja, de diferentes textos do gênero
em foco, pode ser feito pelo professor em conjunto com os alunos, para que todos se
familiarizem com o texto a ser produzido. Cada unidade apresenta exemplares do gênero, mas
seria interessante que se ampliasse esse corpus.

Na etapa (2), os alunos sã o levados a refletir sobre a situaçã o de açã o de linguagem de


produçã o desse gênero, observando os seguintes aspectos:

• o propó sito comunicativo;

• quem é o produtor do texto e em que papel social se encontra;

• a quem se dirige e em que papel se encontra o leitor do texto;

• o grau de formalidade ou informalidade;

• o suporte que faz o gênero circular (jornal mural, blog, pô ster, vídeo, etc.);

• o local onde o gênero circula (escola, comunidade, internet).

Essa reflexã o deve ser orientada pelo professor a partir dos textos selecionados, na etapa (1),
como possíveis exemplos de manifestaçã o do gênero. Deve-se levar em conta o contexto dos
alunos e suas necessidades e levá -los a refletir sobre o propó sito comunicativo do que vai ser
produzido.

Na etapa (3), observa-se o tipo de linguagem empregada nos textos do gênero em foco e
procede-se à aná lise da organizaçã o estrutural, em que o professor, em conjunto com seus
alunos, analisa os conteú dos típicos do gênero; observa sua construçã o composicional;
identifica os padrõ es de textualizaçã o ou características léxico-gramaticais, além de palavras-
chave, presença ou ausência de pronomes pessoais de primeira e segunda pessoa, dêiticos3,
tempos verbais, modalizadores, níveis de formalidade e de informalidade, assim como as
sequên cias textuais que caracterizam o gênero.

Como vimos na descriçã o da etapa (2), as atividades de produçã o textual envolvem o uso da
língua em um contexto de produçã o que compreende quem escreve, para quem se escreve,
com qual objetivo e em qual suporte o texto circulará . Em cada livro da coleçã o, propomos que

3
Dêiticos são elementos linguísticos (pronomes pessoais, demonstrativos e advérbios de lugar e tempo) que fazem referência aos
falantes, ao espaço e ao tempo.
os alunos reú nam suas produçõ es em um projeto anual diferente – blog, portfolio, Padlet wall
–, reunindo vá rios textos redigidos e/ou gravados por eles.

Cada atividade de produçã o textual é acompanhada de uma listagem dos procedimentos de


escrita, que envolvem a pesquisa de material, as escolhas linguísticas e multimodais, o uso de
recursos adicionais (ex.: dicioná rio), a redaçã o do primeiro rascunho, a revisã o individual e em
pares, a ediçã o final e a publicaçã o.

A etapa de revisã o prevê a participaçã o do colega ou colegas, além da revisã o do professor.


Para a fase de revisã o, o professor poderá desenvolver com seus alunos um conjunto de
có digos para que os pró prios alunos façam as correçõ es. Alguns exemplos sã o:

• ? = I don’t understand

• sp = spelling

• wo = word order

• vt = verb tense

• ü = missing word

• p = punctuation

As etapas do processo de produçã o textual nã o precisam ser lineares, e o aluno pode voltar a
cada uma delas sempre que sentir necessidade, em um processo recursivo. Na fase de
produçã o, por exemplo, os passos podem se repetir vá rias vezes, com ou sem a participaçã o do
professor. Finalmente, cumpre destacar a necessidade de feedback para a produçã o realizada.
Além do feedback dos colegas e dos leitores, os alunos, certamente, têm a expectativa de ter
uma avaliaçã o do professor, que nã o se restrinja à correçã o de possíveis erros gramaticais, mas
que principalmente considere o contexto de produçã o e as características do gênero em foco.
Esse feedback por parte do professor deve acontecer, se possível, nas diversas etapas do
processo de produçã o textual.

É importante também que o professor oriente os alunos sobre o fato de que o feedback nã o
deve ser dado apenas para a forma do texto em processo de produçã o, mas também sobre sua
apresentaçã o, criatividade, originalidade e inteligibilidade. Um bom feedbackmostra falhas,
sugere mudanças, mas também elogia. Assim, elencar pontos positivos contribui também para
a formaçã o

Pá gina 185

de um cidadã o crítico, pois ser crítico nã o é apenas achar problemas, mas também reconhecer
as qualidades.

Na ú ltima etapa, a da publicaçã o, é importante que os textos criados pelos alunos circulem fora
da sala de aula, de forma a fazer que eles, aos poucos, participem de uma comunidade
discursiva que usa a língua inglesa. Caso os alunos tenham acesso à internet, sugerimos que o
professor os incentive a se engajar em situaçõ es autênticas de comunicaçã o em inglês, com o
uso de e-mail, postagem em microblogs e criaçã o de blogs, orientando-os a tomar precauçõ es
para nã o divulgar dados pessoais e para resguardar sua privacidade. Podem ser encontradas
sugestõ es de atividades e conteú dos sobre esse assunto no portal Internet Segura
(http://linkte.me/f1vn3), site indicado na Webgrafia deste Manual, e nas seguintes aulas
sugeridas no Portal do Professor do Ministério da Educaçã o: <http://linkte.me/hhush>;
<http://linkte.me/cwwd3> e <http://linkte.me/h69o0>. Acessos em: 19 maio 2016.

ESTUDO DE VOCABULÁRIO

O trabalho com vocabulá rio, feito ao longo de cada unidade e na seçã o Vocabulary corner,
perpassa o desenvolvimento das diversas atividades de compreensã o e produçã o, tanto
escritas quanto orais. Assim, os itens lexicais nã o sã o abordados de maneira isolada, mas de
forma contextualizada.

Atençã o especial foi dada ao vocabulá rio relacionado a profissõ es, e sugerimos que o professor
estimule os alunos a buscarem autonomamente mais vocá bulos sobre esse tema.

Sugerimos também que o professor estimule os alunos a expandirem seu vocabulá rio, criando
glossá rios de termos específicos ou mesmo elencando amostras de uso de determinados
termos.

GRAMÁTICA E ASPECTOS DISCURSIVOS


Na seçã o Let’s focus on language! sã o apresentadas as estruturas gramaticais da língua inglesa
abordadas em cada unidade, sempre a partir de exemplos de uso extraídos de textos
autênticos. Dessa forma, a partir da observaçã o e aná lise de um trecho de linguagem em
contexto de uso, os alunos sã o levados a tirar suas pró prias conclusõ es sobre as regras e
utilizá -las adequadamente. Em outras palavras, o ensino da gramá tica se dá de forma
contextualizada e integrada à s prá ticas de linguagem, e nã o acontece de maneira isolada ou
antecipada a essas prá ticas. Sempre que necessá rio, o professor pode recuperar o contexto
integral de onde o exemplo foi retirado, pois ou aparece em textos de seçõ es anteriores ou
pode ser acessado na internet.

Assim, as estruturas e as regras gramaticais apresentadas na seçã o Let’s focus on language!


também estã o presentes em outras seçõ es, com atividades de compreensã o e produçã o da
linguagem oral ou escrita.

Além disso, ao final do Livro do Aluno, a seçã o Language reference sistematiza os conteú dos
gramaticais de cada bimestre em forma de quadros com exemplos, oferecendo aos alunos e ao
professor mais um instrumento de consulta, referência e estudo.

Cumpre destacar que, nesta coleçã o, a importâ ncia é dada ao uso da língua, e nã o à gramá tica
descontextualizada.

AVALIAÇÃO

A avaliaçã o nã o deve ser usada como ameaça ou puniçã o, mas como instrumento para ampliar
a aprendizagem. A aquisiçã o de uma língua é um processo longo e nã o linear. Nã o podemos
afirmar que, ao se ensinar uma funçã o linguístico-comunicativa, o aprendiz a aprenderá
imediatamente. Aprender uma língua demanda tempo e vivência em prá ticas sociais da
linguagem. Dessa forma, a avaliaçã o não deve se limitar à atribuiçã o de notas em funçã o do
produto apresentado pelos alunos em resposta a testes e provas, mas deve valorizar o esforço
de colocar essa língua em funcionamento. Inadequaçõ es fazem parte do processo de
aprendizagem e o aprendiz pode aprender com elas. Dar maior valor à produçã o de sentido do
que ao rigor das formas será um bom incentivo para que os alunos nã o tenham medo de se
arriscar.

Além disso, a avaliaçã o deve incluir nã o apenas o ponto de vista do professor como o ú nico
capaz de falar sobre o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, mas de todos os corresponsá veis por
esse processo, incluindo, portanto, a visã o dos alunos.

Quando o aluno se engaja efetivamente no processo avaliativo, ele desenvolve sua autonomia e
passa a se sentir corresponsá vel pela aprendizagem. Sugerimos, portanto, que o professor crie
oportunidades para os alunos refletirem sobre seu pró prio processo de aprendizagem e se
posicionarem sobre as prá ticas pedagó gicas adotadas. Esse tipo de avaliaçã o pode ser
conduzido apó s cada unidade ou parte, oralmente (através de conversas individuais, em
pequenos grupos ou com a turma toda) ou por escrito (através de questioná rios ou breves
relatos).

Para auxiliar a participaçã o do aluno no processo de avaliaçã o contínua, incluímos, apó s cada
unidade, a seçã o Time to reflect, na qual o estudante poderá refletir sobre sua pró pria
aprendizagem e dizer o que gostou de aprender (I liked...), o que está bem aprendido (I am
good at...), o que precisa rever e aprender mais (I need to get better at…). É um momento
também para incentivar a autonomia e levar o aprendiz a pensar sobre suas experiências de
aprendizagem dentro e fora da sala de aula.

Ao final do livro existem atividades extras que podem ser utilizadas para revisã o e como itens
para avaliaçã o. Serã o também ú teis para os professores que pre-

Pá gina 186

cisarem de mais conteú do no caso de mais aulas por semana. Essas atividades podem ser
realizadas em casa ou em aula, individualmente ou em dupla, sendo corrigidas e comentadas
com ampla participaçã o dos alunos, a fim de que todos discutam como chegar à s respostas
certas e aprendam com possíveis erros.

Uma alternativa é solicitar aos alunos que façam algumas das atividades extras em folha
separada para ser entregue ao professor (para posterior correçã o) ou para ser trocada entre os
alunos (para que um corrija as respostas do colega, sob a orientaçã o do professor). Além das
atividades extras, a avaliaçã o pode incluir a realizaçã o de outras atividades propostas no Livro
do Aluno, como aquelas relacionadas ao projeto anual de produçã o escrita.

Ao final de cada parte, há também questõ es que se assemelham aos testes do Enem e que, a
critério do professor, podem ser usadas para avaliaçã o. É bom lembrar que, por ser um exame
para grandes populaçõ es, esses testes avaliam apenas a compreensã o de textos escritos.

Uma forma de avaliar o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem é reunir o que cada estudante


produz ao longo de um determinado período (mês, bimestre, semestre ou mesmo durante todo
o ano) em um portfó lio. O portfó lio pode incluir tarefas realizadas em aula ou em casa,
resultados de projetos, anotaçõ es, reflexõ es do aluno sobre o que e como aprendeu (como
proposto na já mencionada seçã o Time to reflect) e ser apresentado ao professor em uma pasta
ou outra forma original de agrupar todas as produçõ es de cada aluno.
O professor também pode optar por formas mais tradicionais, como a aplicaçã o de testes e
provas para a verificaçã o da aprendizagem. Os testes podem ser curtos para serem aplicados
apó s uma unidade ou mais longos e elaborados, para aplicaçã o ao final de um bimestre, por
exemplo. Se, por um lado, esse tipo de instrumento de avaliaçã o pode constituir uma medida
de aprendizagem mais objetiva, por outro ele pode, muitas vezes, direcionar de forma
indesejada o conteú do das aulas que o precedem e o desempenho dos alunos, que passam a se
interessar apenas pelo que acreditam ser necessá rio para dar as respostas certas no teste ou
prova.

LEARNING TIPS

Apó s cada unidade ímpar dos três livros, o aluno vai encontrar Learning tips, que sã o dicas de
sites para aprendizagem autô noma. Essas dicas nã o estã o associadas a uma ú nica unidade e
podem ser ú teis em qualquer fase do ano escolar. Se o professor desejar, ele pode antecipar
aos alunos dicas que estã o nos outros livros da coleçã o.

COMPONENTES DA COLEÇÃO E ESTRUTURA DA OBRA

Esta é uma coleçã o didá tica em três volumes, correspondentes aos anos letivos que compõ em
o Ensino Médio. Para cada ano, há um Livro do Aluno, um Manual do Professor e um CD com
arquivos de á udio. A seguir, a estrutura geral de cada componente é detalhada.

LIVRO DO ALUNO

O Livro do Aluno é composto de:

• Oito unidades, organizadas em 4 blocos de 2 unidades, que constituem as 4 partes do livro


(veja detalhamento da estrutura de cada unidade na seçã o Descrição das unidades e seções,
neste Manual).

• Quatro aberturas, uma para cada parte, a fim de ativar o conhecimento prévio dos alunos
sobre os conteú dos das 2 unidades que compõ em cada parte. Em cada abertura é apresentada
uma ferramenta digital gratuita que auxiliará o aluno no seu letramento digital. A abertura 1
traz também orientaçã o sobre o projeto a ser desenvolvido durante o ano.

• Apó s cada unidade o aluno é levado a refletir sobre sua pró pria aprendizagem na seçã o Time
to reflect.

• Ao final de cada parte, estã o incluídas questõ es semelhantes à s do Enem para revisã o e
aprofundamento dos conteú dos apresentados nas duas unidades.

• Duas unidades especiais chamadas de Time for literature, incluídas a cada duas partes do
Livro do Aluno. Essas unidades apresentam textos literá rios seguidos de atividades de leitura e
glossá rio específico (exceto no vol. 3).

• Ao final do livro foram incluídas atividades extras que podem ser usadas para revisã o e
aprofundamento dos conteú dos apresentados nas unidades.

• Quadros e listas de referência sobre aspectos linguísticos organizados em seçõ es chamadas


Language Reference, apresentadas no final do Livro do Aluno.
• Glossary inglês-português, apresentado no final do Livro do Aluno, com uma seleçã o de
vocabulá rio utilizado em cada livro, estando registrados apenas os significados que aparecem
nos textos da obra.

MANUAL DO PROFESSOR

O Manual do Professor possui as seguintes características:

• apresenta os pressupostos teó ricos e metodoló gicos que fundamentam a obra e indica as
referências bibliográ ficas pertinentes;

• descreve a estrutura e a organizaçã o do material;

• descreve a estrutura e os conteú dos de cada unidade;

• oferece sugestõ es para o plano de curso e a distribuiçã o de conteú dos por aula;

• indica respostas possíveis, sem supor que haja sempre uma ú nica resposta correta;

• apresenta sugestõ es de estratégias e recursos de ensino para a realizaçã o e a ampliaçã o das


atividades (através

Pá gina 187

de atividades extras) de acordo com os interesses dos alunos e as possibilidades de cada


contexto;

• oferece, na subseçã o “Comentá rios e sugestõ es”, informaçõ es culturais e linguísticas


relacionadas a conteú dos apresentados em cada unidade (a serem compartilhadas com os
alunos a critério do professor), além de sugestõ es de atividades extras, incluindo atividades de
natureza interdisciplinar;

• apresenta sugestõ es de materiais impressos e websites para uso dos alunos e do professor
visando ao enriquecimento do processo de ensino-aprendizagem.

Destacamos que todas as sugestõ es apresentadas devem ser entendidas como possibilidades
de ampliaçã o do material e de ajustes à realidade de cada turma. Cabe ao professor fazer as
escolhas que sejam as mais adequadas aos seus alunos. Ele pode, assim, descartar ou substituir
atividades e ainda ampliar aquelas que considerar insuficientes. Esclarecemos também que, ao
propor uma grande variedade de atividades extras, nã o supomos que haja tempo há bil para a
implementaçã o de todas elas, mas nossa expectativa é a de que o professor selecione as que
julgar mais apropriadas.

CD DE ÁUDIO

O CD de aú dio, que acompanha tanto o Livro do Aluno quanto o Manual do Professor, contém o
á udio das mú sicas e dos textos orais (de diferentes gêneros) usados nas seçõ es com atividades
de compreensã o oral Turn on the jukebox!, Let’s listen and talk! e outras seçõ es que conjugam
atividades de compreensã o oral com atividades envolvendo outras habilidades.
Conforme já mencionado na seçã o sobre compreensã o oral deste Manual, ao longo da coleçã o
encontram-se amostras de diferentes variedades linguísticas, permitindo que o professor e os
alunos ouçam a pronú ncia e a entonaçã o da língua inglesa em diversas situaçõ es e com
diferentes sotaques, incluindo aqueles de falantes do inglês como língua estrangeira ou
segunda língua. Dessa forma, pretendemos ajudar a diminuir possíveis preconceitos e
inseguranças com relaçã o à produçã o oral por parte de alunos e professores que nã o têm o
inglês como língua materna. Além disso, espera-se que o professor possa, assim, contribuir
para a formaçã o de usuá rios da linguagem respeitosos com o outro e acolhedores da
pluralidade e da diversidade linguística e cultural nos mais diversos contextos.

Com relaçã o aos textos orais apresentados no CD de á udio, relembramos que o Livro do Aluno
traz as letras das mú sicas (para que os alunos possam acompanhar e cantá -las) e, ao seu final, a
transcriçã o do restante dos textos utilizados nas atividades de compreensã o oral. Desse modo,
pretendemos que os textos orais sejam apresentados aos alunos na modalidade em que foram
produzidos.

DESCRIÇÃO DAS UNIDADES E SEÇÕES

As unidades desta obra sã o bastante diversificadas e estã o divididas em seçõ es, cujos
conteú dos e objetivos serã o detalhados em um quadro mais adiante.

As seçõ es que estã o presentes em todas as oito unidades sã o: Lead-in (seçã o de abertura de
cada unidade) e Let’s focus on language! (seçã o que focaliza os conteú dos linguísticos
apresentados na unidade), além de seçõ es que apresentam atividades para o desenvolvimento
das quatro habilidades linguísticas (compreensã o e produçã o oral: Let’s listen and talk!;
compreensã o escrita: Let’s read!; e produçã o escrita: Let’s act with words!). Atividades sobre
pronú ncia e/ou entonaçã o também estã o incluídas em todas as unidades, estando vinculadas a
seçõ es de compreensã o e/ou produçã o oral. Em algumas unidades, há atividades com mú sica
sob o nome de Turn on the jukebox!. Atividades que visam ao desenvolvimento de vocabulá rio
de maneira contextualizada constam da seçã oVocabulary corner.

Pedagogicamente, reconhecemos a necessidade de, em algumas situaçõ es, privilegiar o


trabalho com uma das habilidades, mas também consideramos que a integraçã o de habilidades
seja bastante desejá vel por proporcionar contextos de uso da língua mais ricos e mais
pró ximos do cotidiano. Vejamos um exemplo: lemos uma notícia no jornal (compreensã o
escrita), ouvimos uma entrevista sobre o mesmo assunto (compreensã o oral) e, depois,
conversamos com amigos sobre o tema (produçã o oral).

Além das seçõ es já mencionadas, foi incluída a seçã o Profession spot, com atividades que
remetem a diferentes carreiras e profissõ es e que aparece em algumas unidades dos volumes 1
e 2 e em todas as unidades do volume 3.

A seçã o que trabalha com literatura, Time for literature, traz trechos ou extratos de obras
literá rias, tanto do câ none literá rio quanto de obras de cunho mais popular, para que o aluno
possa entrar em contato com todo tipo de texto literá rio produzido em língua inglesa. A
finalidade dessa seçã o é familiarizar o aluno com o texto ficcional, seja ele narrativo, poético ou
dramá tico. A leitura literá ria, além de contribuir para a aprendizagem da língua, tem uma forte
funçã o educacional, levando o aluno a refletir sobre a vivência humana. Nas seçõ es de
literatura, trabalhamos com questõ es de compreensã o e inferência das circunstâ ncias que nos
levam a apreender os sentidos possíveis de cada texto, com características de personagens,
tempo e lugar, focalizaçã o, variaçõ es linguísticas, diferentes registros, diferenças contextuais
entre a época em que a obra foi escrita e o momento presente – o que leva o aluno a refletir
sobre as semelhanças e diferenças culturais.

uma atividade ou texto apresentado.

• Pronunciation spot: apresenta questõ es relacionadas à pronú ncia e à entonaçã o.

PLANO DE CURSO

Considerando as unidades que compõ em o Livro do Aluno e o planejamento por bimestres,


tradicionalmente adotado pelas escolas, propõ e-se a seguinte divisã o de conteú dos ao longo do
ano letivo:

Organizaçã o por bimestre

• 1º bimestre • Unidades 1 e 2
• 2º bimestre • Unidades 3 e 4
• 3º bimestre • Unidades 5 e 6
• 4º bimestre • Unidades 7 e 8

Organizaçã o por trimestre:

• 1º trimestre|• Unidades 1, 2 e 3

• 2º trimestre • Unidades 4, 5, 6 (primeira metade)


• 3º trimestre • Unidades 6 (segunda metade), 7 e 8

Nesse planejamento, devem-se incluir ainda, a critério do professor, as atividades de pesquisa,


de avaliaçã o (para as quais apresentamos sugestõ es neste Manual) e aquelas de cará ter
interdisciplinar (duas seçõ es incluídas ao final de partes, além das sugestõ es dadas para o
desenvolvimento das seçõ es de cada unidade). A seguir, apresentamos uma seçã o com
sugestõ es de como fazer a distribuiçã o de aulas ao longo do ano.

Quanto à s unidades de literatura, o professor pode orientar os alunos a fazer a leitura e as


respectivas atividades ao longo de cada semestre, nas férias ou quando achar mais adequado. A
primeira unidade, por exemplo, poderia ser feita nas férias do meio do ano e retomada no
início do segundo semestre. Isso daria oportunidade ao aluno de continuar em contato com o
idioma fora de períodos letivos, contribuindo para sua formaçã o como leitor autô nomo.

DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE AULAS

A distribuiçã o de aulas, sugerida nos quadros a seguir, tem por base uma escola regular de
Ensino Médio com duas aulas de inglês por semana – portanto, com uma média de oito aulas ao
mês. A cada bimestre, recomendamos trabalhar duas unidades e, conforme a agenda do
professor, algumas atividades extras e a seçã o Time for literature. Apresentamos também a
distribuiçã o de aulas por trimestre, para o caso de escolas que adotam esse tipo de
planejamento.

Em nossa proposta, cada unidade é desenvolvida ao longo de seis tempos de aula, seguidos de
dois tempos para atividades variadas, a critério do professor. Esses dois tempos podem ser
dedicados à s atividades extras referentes à unidade, da seçã o Crossing boundaries, à s
atividades extraclasse de escolha do professor e/ou à s avaliaçõ es previstas (ver seçã o
Avaliação neste Manual para sugestõ es de diversos instrumentos e procedimentos de
avaliaçã o). Dessa forma, cerca de 25% da carga horá ria bimestral (quatro aulas) sã o
reservados para se garantir a flexibilidade necessá ria para imprevistos no calendá rio e,
sobretudo, para o professor poder atender à s necessidades de seus alunos.

A seçã o Let’s act with words! (ú ltima seçã o de cada unidade), que traz uma atividade de
produçã o escrita (ver seçã o Produção escrita neste Manual para maior detalhamento), foi
incluída no plano de curso a seguir, mas poderá ser utilizada pelo professor de acordo com as
possibilidades e os interesses de cada turma, podendo ser desenvolvida como trabalho de casa
e também utilizada como um dos instrumentos de avaliaçã o (ver sugestã o dada na seçã o
Avaliação deste Manual). Como alternativa, sugerimos que se utilize parte de uma aula livre
para dar orientaçõ es aos alunos sobre a atividade proposta na seçã o Let’s act with words! e
parte de outra aula livre para que eles possam compartilhar suas produçõ es e recorrer aos
colegas para correçã o (peer correction).

As pá ginas de abertura de cada parte do livro foram incluídas antes da seçã o Lead-in de cada
primeira unidade do bimestre. Essas pá ginas buscam ativar o conhecimento prévio dos alunos
e prepará -los para os conteú dos a serem apresentados e nã o consomem muito tempo em sala
de aula. As pá ginas de fechamento de cada parte, por sua vez, nã o foram incluídas no plano de
atividades. Elas podem ser utilizadas na ú ltima aula de cada bimestre para apresentaçã o e
discussã o sobre estratégias de aprendizagem com toda a turma e como atividade de casa para
que o aluno reflita sobre seu processo de aprendizagem (pá gina Time to reflect). Na seçã o
Avaliação deste Manual, destacamos a importâ ncia dessa reflexã o para o processo de avaliaçã o
contínua.

As atividades extras podem servir ao professor nã o apenas como recurso para as aulas livres,
mas também como estratégia, seja de apoio para alunos com dificuldades nas duas unidades
anteriores, seja de complemento para alunos mais rá pidos com tempo disponível em sala de
aula. Além disso, as atividades extras podem ser feitas como trabalho de casa (ao final ou ao
longo do bimestre) ou como parte da avaliaçã o bimestral (conforme sugerido na seçã o
Avaliação deste Manual).=PG=190=

PART 1 - SOCIAL NETWORKS


UNIT 1 MAKING CONNECTIONS

Objetivo geral
Aprender a ler e a fazer infográ ficos. Levar os alunos a interagir em inglês.

Objetivos específicos
Levar os alunos a:

• reconhecer características do infográ fico;

• falar de coisas geralmente verdadeiras e que acontecem regularmente;

• falar de açõ es em progresso agora ou por volta de agora;

• aprender como dar dicas e instruçõ es;

• reconhecer e entender metá foras;

• reconhecer e usar vocabulá rio relacionado à s redes sociais de forma comunicativa;

• aprender a expressar opiniõ es;

• identificar os sons de “th” no inglês;

• produzir um infográ fico para o portfó lio.


Sobre o tema da unidade
A primeira unidade trata de conexõ es e relaçõ es que se estabelecem em redes sociais com foco nas redes
on-line. A temá tica envolve aspectos característicos das redes sociais e posicionamentos críticos sobre as
conexõ es e relaçõ es que se estabelecem em ambiente virtual.

Comentários, sugestões e respostas

Ice breaker

Uma dinâ mica interessante consiste em permitir que cada aluno se apresente para a turma. Por exemplo,
você pode propor a atividade “Two lies and a truth”, na qual cada aluno lista três coisas interessantes
sobre si mesmo: duas mentiras e uma verdade. Os colegas tentam adivinhar qual é a verdade e quais sã o
as mentiras. O aluno, entã o, corrige as mentiras apresentadas.

Caso seja necessá rio, escreva no quadro uma lista de Useful language que possa ajudar a turma.

Por exemplo: Hi, my name is =QQ=, and I am =QQ= years old. I like=QQ=, and I don’t like =QQ=.

Social networks

Redes Sociais. No ambiente da internet, o termo é conhecido pelas teias de relacionamentos formadas em
canais da Web que proporcionam a formaçã o de comunidades on-line e a interaçã o de seus participantes
ou usuá rios, como sã o chamados. Cada vez maiores, essas redes têm influenciado as novas geraçõ es na
maneira como se relacionam com outras pessoas, marcas e instituiçõ es.

Infographics (Infográficos)

Sã o representaçõ es visuais de informaçã o; grá ficos nos quais a informaçã o precisa ser explicada de
forma mais dinâ mica, como em mapas, no jornalismo e em manuais técnicos, educativos ou científicos. É
um recurso muitas vezes complexo, podendo se utilizar da combinaçã o de fotografia, desenho e texto.

Adaptado de: <http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infografia>. Acesso em: 25 maio 2016.

Propomos que, neste contato inicial dos alunos com o conteú do da pá gina, o professor sonde a
familiaridade e a experiência deles com redes sociais e outros serviços disponíveis na rede. É possível
que mesmo alunos que nã o tenham contato direto com esse universo já tenham ouvido falar de
Facebook, Twitter, entre outros. Convidar alunos que sabem “um pouco mais” sobre o assunto a
contribuir com explicaçõ es mais específicas.

Professor, de acordo com o Parecer CNE/CEB 15/2000, “o uso didá tico de imagens comerciais
identificadas pode ser pertinente desde que faça parte de um contexto pedagó gico mais amplo,
conducente à apropriaçã o crítica das mú ltiplas formas de linguagem presentes em nossa sociedade,

infográ ficos disponíveis no site Hubspot <http://linkte.me/g6iek>, acesso em: 25 maio 2016. Você pode
levar os textos explicativos e pedir aos alunos que, em grupo, os associem à s características. Poderia
ainda levar exemplos de infográ ficos para ampliar a atividade ou pedir aos alunos que encontrem outros
exemplos. Sugerimos explorar as características do gênero infográ fico.

Professor, discuta com os alunos os perigos que se escondem em redes sociais voltadas para namoro,
como Badoo e Tinder, pois pessoas com perfis falsos estã o em busca de pessoas inocentes para aplicar
golpes financeiros ou para açõ es de pedofilia. Orientar os alunos, especialmente os menores de idade, a
nã o entrar nesse tipo de site, e comentar notícias recentes de vítimas desse tipo de rede de
relacionamento. Uma busca na internet com qualquer nome dessas redes sociais, mais a palavra “perigo”
vai sempre indicar exemplos recentes.

Managing your social network addiction

Professor, para ajudar a turma a ativar seu conhecimento anterior sobre o assunto do texto, sugerimos
perguntar para os alunos se eles acessam a internet diariamente, se a utilizam para aprender inglês,
quais sã o seus sites favoritos, quantas horas passam interagindo on-line por semana, etc. Essas
perguntas poderã o ser escritas no quadro de giz para os alunos responderem e discutirem em pares.

Sugerimos que a abordagem inicial do texto nã o se restrinja a interagir apenas com alunos que sejam
membros de redes sociais. Este é um bom momento para perguntar a alguns alunos por que eles nã o
gostam de redes sociais, o que eles sabem sobre elas, mesmo nã o sendo usuá rios, etc.

Lembramos que, na seçã o Objetivos, temas e sugestões por unidade do Manual do Professor, há
informaçõ es adicionais sobre alguns aspectos trabalhados nas unidades. Consulte-a sempre.

Variação linguística

Professor, você pode mostrar aos alunos que verbos que terminam em –ize, como o verbo customize,
que aparece no texto, podem ter duas grafias: com –z na variante estadunidense da língua, e com –s na
variante britâ nica. Sugerimos mostrar outros exemplos.

Professor, sugerimos que, apó s encorajar os alunos a apresentar suas razõ es, você explore um pouco

pensem sobre o tipo de retorno financeiro que os donos dessas redes têm ou podem ter.

2) By their tone of voice and some words you can understand, which ones think it’s better to make friends in
real life? And in social networks?

Esta pode ser uma oportunidade de enfatizar a diferença entre palavras que sã o escritas com s em inglês
britâ nico (analyse) e z no inglês americano (analyze). Sugerimos trazer outras palavras para os alunos.

Professor, esta atividade 4, em grupo, permite que os alunos explorem o tema e formem uma opiniã o
sobre a experiência de fazer novos amigos. Você poderá dividir a turma em dois grupos: os que sã o mais
favorá veis a fazer amigos em redes sociais e os que sã o mais favorá veis a fazer amigos na vida real. Eles
podem com isso colocar em prá tica o uso dos marcadores apresentados no boxe Useful language.

Professor, caso as atividades de fala se mostrem desafiadoras para a turma, sugerimos usar estratégias
que deem aos alunos suporte para sua produçã o oral, por exemplo: escrever no quadro palavras-chave
que eles possam utilizar; sugerir o planejamento e a organizaçã o das ideias antes da realizaçã o das
atividades; enfatizar a importâ ncia de usarem os boxes de Useful Language e ampliá -los no quadro caso
seja necessá rio; encorajar os alunos a usarem a pará frase para expressar uma ideia de uma maneira
alternativa caso tenham dificuldade com vocabulá rio.

Em apresentaçõ es orais mais elaboradas, você pode ainda propor aos alunos que preparem um script da
fala, em que devem planejar o que vã o falar. Essa pode ser uma ó tima oportunidade para discutir com
eles sobre as diferenças dos discursos escrito e oral em um trabalho interdisciplinar com o professor de
língua portuguesa. Os alunos podem elaborar seus scripts em dupla, reescrevê-los a partir do seu
feedback e preparar a parte oral com antecedência. Esse trabalho processual mais extenso deve dar
maior segurança aos alunos e ainda ser parte do sistema de avaliaçã o processual do bimestre.

Professor, você pode pedir aos alunos que criem suas perguntas para o survey e o hospede on-line,
pedindo a outras turmas que também o respondam. Sugestã o de site: SurveyMonkey
<http://linkte.me/g1zv9> (acesso em: 19 maio 2016). Como cada grupo vai produzir questõ es sobre
tó picos diferentes, haverá diferentes tó picos com respostas distintas. Esses dados podem ser
posteriormente apresentados para a turma ou todas as turmas, mostrando um perfil dos usuá rios de
internet da escola.

Para evitar confusã o, sugerimos pedir aos grupos que façam suas pesquisas um de cada vez. Por
exemplo, na vez do grupo 1, os integrantes se levantam e conversam com diferentes colegas na sala, de
modo que o grupo 1 obtenha informaçõ es de pelo menos 10 colegas da turma. Na vez do grupo 2, o
procedimento se repete, e assim por diante. Caso julgue pertinente, incentivar os alunos a fazer mais
perguntas para a enquete. Além disso, antes de circular pela sala, os grupos podem trocar as perguntas
para correçã o em pares.

• A young woman is texting.

• A young man is typing. Professor, uma forma lú dica de se praticar o Present Continuous é pedir aos
alunos que façam mímica de açõ es e convidar o grupo para descobrir o que a mímica representa usando
esse tempo verbal. Você poderá trazer para a sala de aula algumas tirinhas de papel com açõ es para
tornar a atividade mais dinâ mica e promover a prá tica de um maior nú mero de açõ es.

1. Professor, sugerimos chamar a atençã o dos alunos para o gênero infográ fico, que geralmente abusa de
ilustraçõ es, grá ficos, cores e imagens. Lembre-os de que o objetivo de um infográ fico é informar os
leitores com abundâ ncia de elementos grá ficos, e nã o textos longos. Encoraje os alunos a trabalhar em
duplas ou grupos, dando feedback aos trabalhos uns dos outros e lembre-os de que eles podem utilizar
recursos tecnoló gicos digitais, como o computador, por exemplo.

Para avaliar o infográ fico, sugerimos verificar se o aluno conseguiu pesquisar e sintetizar as informaçõ es

Phishing
O termo phishing vem do verbo to fish, “pescar”, e é um meio de obter senhas de acesso a bancos e
outros serviços, além de criar sites muito parecidos com os originais, à s vezes mudando apenas um
nú mero ou letra no endereço principal do site. A prá tica ilícita também é muito frequente em e-mails
vindos de desconhecidos, e à s vezes até de pessoas conhecidas, contendo links e atalhos que captam
informaçõ es de segurança.

quanto já sabem sobre o assunto e assim determinar que temas da unidade poderã o ser priorizados. É
possível também saber se um dos alunos é capaz de contribuir posteriormente com a exposiçã o de algum
item técnico envolvendo a internet.

Caso necessá rio, escreva no quadro uma lista de Useful language que possa ajudar a turma. Por exemplo:

aluno quanto à temá tica do texto antes de ouvi-lo; passar o á udio uma vez com os livros fechados e
explorar a ideia geral do texto; escrever no quadro palavras e expressõ es-chave de textos mais longos e
complexos; orientar os alunos a lerem as questõ es relativas ao texto antes de ouvi-lo para concentrarem

progression./Information is grouped in sections.

Professor, sugerimos destacar as características do gênero pô ster, que geralmente apresenta frases
curtas, porém impactantes, visando chamar a atençã o dos leitores de maneira rá pida. Um bom pô ster
deve fazer uso efetivo das cores, ser simples e convincente. Uma estratégia eficiente de conscientizaçã o
do gênero é apresentar uma coletâ nea de pô steres aos alunos, convidando-os a apontar suas principais
características. Peça-lhes que trabalhem de forma colaborativa, estimulando-os a lerem e darem
feedback e sugestõ es nos trabalhos uns dos outros. Explore também os elementos multimodais
presentes nos pô steres da unidade e naqueles que forem encontrados na Web.

Sugerimos propor um projeto interdisciplinar com o(a) Professor(a) de Artes para que ele(a)
oriente os alunos na produçã o de cartazes mais elaborados visualmente para serem expostos na escola
em um trabalho de conscientização e dicas sobre segurança na rede envolvendo nã o somente os
alunos, mas toda a comunidade escolar. Seria interessante se os pô steres produzidos nesse projeto
pudessem ser publicados durante evento com a participação dos familiares e de pessoas da
comunidade externa à escola.

alunos os critérios que utilizará para avaliaçã o da produçã o escrita.
Esta atividade poderá ser desenvolvida na sala ou em casa (parcial ou totalmente). A correçã o em pares
na sala de aula poderá auxiliar o desenvolvimento da produçã o escrita.

Sugerimos levar ou pedir aos alunos que levem outras opçõ es de pô steres que possam ser usados como
modelo.

Caso a escola tenha um laborató rio de informá tica, sugerimos utilizar a ferramenta on-line Glogster
<http://linkte.me/wqrps> (acesso em: 26 maio 2016) para a criaçã o das apresentaçõ es orais dos alunos.
A integraçã o de novas tecnologias na sala de aula de línguas poderá ser um elemento de motivaçã o para
o engajamento dos alunos na tarefa. A apresentaçã o em um pô ster impresso poderá ser utilizada como
alternativa.

Professor, como uma forma de ampliar a atividade e o contato com a língua, sugerimos organizar um
trabalho interdisciplinar com os professores de português e de espanhol com o objetivo de promover um
festival de mú sica. Com a orientaçã o dos professores, os alunos interessados escolhem mú sicas nos três
idiomas, ensaiam e cantam em um espaço especialmente preparado para receber pais, responsá veis,
amigos e, se possível, pessoas do entorno da escola. Outra ideia possível é organizar um espaço semanal
de confraternizaçã o em que os alunos possam cantar, bem como apresentar outros trabalhos envolvendo
mú sica desenvolvidos com o professor de Arte. Esse momento poderia acontecer no intervalo do almoço

Pronunciation spot – Final -ed

/d/: occurred, played, improved, verified, continued, proved;

/t/: developed, helped;


/ıd/: experimented, constructed, repeated, succeeded, demonstrated. Professor, você pode ainda
ressaltar que:

• Pronú ncia final “t” com voiceless sounds, chamados de “sons surdos” em português, sã o sons
produzidos sem a vibraçã o das cordas vocais, ou seja, sons “secos”. Em inglês, isso é comum no final de
palavras e, no caso dos verbos, os mais comuns sã o os terminados em: k, p, e ce – verbos que exigem a
pronú ncia de “t” no passado, por uma questã o de ser mais fá cil pronunciar assim, por exemplo: help –
helped/dance – danced.

• Pronú ncia final “d” com voiced sounds, chamados de “sons sonoros” em português, sã o sons que
produzem vibraçõ es nas cordas vocais. A maioria dos verbos no passado regular entra nessa categoria.
Nesses casos, deve-se pronunciar o passado com som de “d” mudo, ou seja, sem pronunciar a letra “e”,
por exemplo: listen – listened/engage – engaged.

• Pronú ncia final “ed” – todos os verbos cujo presente termina em “t” ou “d”, acrescido ou nã o de “e”
precisam de uma sílaba extra para se pronunciar o passado, por exemplo: rent (1 sílaba) – rented (2
sílabas)/decide (2 sílabas) – decided (3 sílabas).

A entrevista espontâ nea se caracteriza como uma conversa. As perguntas podem até ser pensadas
previamente, mas as respostas sã o, em geral, planejadas localmente, em tempo real. Ou seja, quem é
entrevistado tem que pensar no que vai dizer e falar ao mesmo tempo. É natural, portanto, que ocorram
hesitaçõ es, pausas e falsos começos (false starts) e também frases incompletas. Falsos começos sã o
inícios de frases que sã o abandonadas pelo falante e substituídas em seguida por outras opçõ es. As
hesitaçõ es sã o marcadas por sons (hesitation noises) denominados de sons paralinguísticos tais como uh,
um, errr para se evitar o silêncio. As pausas também sã o marcadas por preenchedores de silêncio (gap
fillers) tais como well, I mean, um, you know, you see. Veja um exemplo de reproduçã o de um texto oral,
retirado do filme Fogueira das Vaidades (Bonfire of the Vanities).

SHERMAN

Oh, well. I should be down there

in a day or so...

RAWLIE

Oh, that won’t be necessary.

That’s what I came to... I was

sent to tell you. I mean, you

don’t have to... I mean, you

shouldn’t come down. I mean,

they don’t want you to come down.

Sherman, que se encontrava afastado do emprego devido a um problema que se transformou em um


escâ ndalo pú blico, diz ao colega que pretende voltar ao emprego. Sua fala demonstra hesitaçã o com os
termos Oh, well. Mas o colega, Rawlie, foi encarregado de dizer a Sherman que ele foi demitido do
emprego e fica mais constrangido do que ele e hesita muito, usando uma série de falsos começos (That’s
what I came to.../I was sent to tell you…/you don’t have to…/you shouldn’t come down) entremeados com o
preenchedor de silêncio I mean.
Textos multimídias sã o textos que apelam para dois ou mais sentidos humanos, como o cinema, em que o
espectador usa a audiçã o e a visã o. Os textos podem ser também multimodais, isto é, podem combinar
muitos modos semió ticos, como texto e imagem, voz e mú sica.

Let’s do an interview about radio

Professor, lembre aos alunos sobre o gênero entrevista e peça que apontem algumas de suas
características. Convide a turma a procurar boas entrevistas e a debater por que as consideram assim.
Relembre os alunos a ocorrência de perguntas com WH-words e simple past nas entrevistas. Estimule o
trabalho colaborativo, pedindo aos alunos que leiam, palpitem e deem feedback das entrevistas uns dos
outros.

Esta atividade poderá ser desenvolvida em sala ou em casa (parcial ou totalmente). A correçã o em pares,
em sala de aula, poderá auxiliar o desenvolvimento da produçã o escrita.

Professor, caso as atividades de compreensã o oral se mostrem desafiadoras para sua turma, sugerimos
usar estratégias que facilitem a interaçã o dos alunos com os textos orais, por exemplo: explorar o
conhecimento de mundo do aluno quanto à temá tica do texto antes de ouvi-lo; passar o á udio uma vez
com os livros fechados e explorar a ideia geral do texto; escrever no quadro palavras e expressõ es-chave
de textos mais longos e complexos; orientar os alunos a lerem as questõ es relativas ao texto antes de
ouvi-lo para concentrarem sua atençã o na informaçã o relevante; fazer perguntas extras que explorem o
á udio em maiores detalhes, se necessá rio, escrevendo-as no quadro.

2. Message 1: A - technical; B - message

Message 2: C - able; D - phone; E - message; F - call; G - nap; H - bath; I - Italian; J - deposit; K - box; L -

Message 3: O - right; P - phone; Q - message; R - it

Professor, os alunos podem, em duplas, tentar adivinhar quais sã o algumas das palavras que faltam
servindo-se da dica de palavras “vizinhas” e do que se lembram, visto que já ouviram a gravaçã o uma
vez. Outra opçã o é ler com todos eles as mensagens e pedir que lancem hipó teses de quais sã o essas
palavras. Escrever no quadro de giz somente aquelas que “acertarem”. Deixar que eles descubram as
demais ouvindo a gravaçã o novamente.

4. Personal answers.

Professor, os alunos podem preparar no caderno o texto das mensagens que gostariam de deixar.

5. Personal answers.

Professor, caso as atividades de fala se mostrem desafiadoras para sua turma, sugerimos usar estratégias
que deem aos alunos suporte para sua produçã o oral, por exemplo: escrever no quadro de giz palavras-
chave que eles possam utilizar; sugerir o planejamento e a organizaçã o das ideias antes da realizaçã o das
atividades; enfatizar a importâ ncia de usarem os boxes Useful Language e ampliá -los no quadro de giz
caso seja necessá rio; encorajar os alunos a usarem a pará frase para expressar alguma ideia de uma
maneira alternativa caso tenham dificuldade com vocabulá rio.

6. Professor, sugerimos que os alunos se reú nam em duplas para produzir um texto criativo para deixar
em uma secretá ria eletrô nica, como aqueles apresentados na atividade 2. Se possível, as mensagens
podem ser gravadas nos celulares da dupla. Os colegas das outras duplas podem ligar uns para os outros
para ouvir e, se quiserem, responder deixando uma mensagem. Caso a escola nã o permita o uso do
celular ou os alunos nã o tenham caixa postal, a atividade pode ser feita no computador e compartilhada
na Internet em um site de vídeos, por exemplo. Os colegas podem ouvi r o texto e responder por meio de
um comentá rio no site.

Professor, sugerimos lembrar os alunos de que, para reportar a resposta do colega, devemos usar a
terceira pessoa do singular e, portanto, a forma do verbo auxiliar muda para “has”. Chamar a atençã o
para o fato de que, na linguagem oral, geralmente se usa a forma contraída do verbo “has” com o
pronome pessoal: “he’s”, “she’s”, etc.

Smartphone

Em traduçã o literal, “um telefone inteligente”. E nã o há melhor maneira de definir esse tipo de produto.
Ele é a evoluçã o do celular. A capacidade de realizar e receber chamadas é “apenas um detalhe” para esse
aparelho, que permite uma infinidade de possibilidades. Os smartphones sã o híbridos entre celulares e
computadores. Nã o têm o hardware potente de um PC, mas também nã o sã o tã o simples quanto um
telefone. Afinal, eles englobam algumas das principais tecnologias de comunicaçã o em somente um local:
internet, GPS, e-mail, SMS, mensageiro instantâ neo e aplicativos para muitos fins.

Sismo e tsunami do Oceano Índico de 2004

O sismo e tsunami do Oceano Índico de 2004 foi um terremoto/sismo submarino que ocorreu à s
00:58:53 UTC de 26 de dezembro de 2004, com epicentro na costa oeste de Sumatra, na Indonésia. O
terremoto é conhecido pela comunidade científica como terremoto de Sumatra-Andaman.

O terremoto foi causado por uma subducçã o que desencadeou uma série de tsunamis devastadores ao
longo das costas da maioria dos continentes banhados pelo Oceano Índico, o que causou a morte de mais
de 230 mil pessoas em 14 países diferentes e inundou comunidades costeiras com ondas de até 30
metros de altura. Foi um dos mais mortais desastres naturais da histó ria. Em nú mero de vítimas, a
Indonésia foi o país mais atingido, seguida por Sri Lanka, Índia e Tailâ ndia.

Com uma magnitude de entre 9,1 e 9,3, foi o terceiro maior terremoto já registrado em um sismó grafo.
Este sismo teve a maior duraçã o de falha já observada, entre 8,3 e 10 minutos. Isso fez com que o planeta
inteiro vibrasse em um centímetro e deu origem a outros terremotos em pontos muito distantes do
epicentro, como o Alasca, nos Estados Unidos. Seu hipocentro foi a cerca de 30 km de profundidade e o
epicentro situou-se entre Simeulue e Samatra.

A situaçã o de muitos povos e países afetados em todo o mundo provocou uma resposta humanitá ria. Ao
todo, a comunidade mundial doou mais de 14 bilhõ es de dó lares em ajuda humanitá ria. [...] Os países
mais afetados foram:

• Indonésia, ilha de Samatra, estado de Banda Aceh.

• Sri Lanka, com milhares de mortos e milhares de desalojados; por esse motivo o estado de emergência
nacional foi declarado.

• Índia, na Costa de Coromandel, nomeadamente os estados de Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh e os


arquipélagos Andamã o e Nicobar onde algumas ilhas foram totalmente submersas.

• Tailâ ndia, especialmente as estâ ncias turísticas das Ilhas Phi Phi e Ilhas Phuket.
• Malá sia.

• Ilhas Maldivas, onde dois terços da capital, Malé, foram inundados pelo tsunami.

Professor, sugerimos chamar a atençã o dos alunos para o gênero carta ao editor, que tem o objetivo de
expressar a opiniã o do leitor em relaçã o a uma notícia ou reportagem de um jornal ou uma revista. Em
uma carta ao editor, o autor apresenta suas opiniõ es sobre algum artigo ou reportagem publicado em um
perió dico. O texto avalia o que foi lido, apresentando elogio(s) ou crítica(s), reclamaçõ es,
questionamento(s) ou sugestõ es de temas para reportagens futuras. Lembre os alunos de que ao darem
feedback aos seus pares, eles devem observar se o autor da carta se identificou. A identificaçã o é um
elemento essencial desse tipo de gênero e geralmente isso é explicitado nas normas dos jornais e
revistas. Observar também se o texto que está sendo criticado ou elogiado é também identificado no
corpo da carta e se há justificativa para a crítica/reclamaçã o/questionamento ou o elogio. Peça à turma
que pesquise cartas ao editor na web, tanto em português como em inglês, e estimule os alunos a
perceber as principais características do gênero.

Gênero “Previsão do Tempo” (Weather Forecast)

Para ativar o conhecimento dos alunos e chamar a atençã o deles para o gênero previsã o do tempo, pedir
a eles que listem palavras (em inglês e português) que esperam encontrar nesse tipo de texto. O
professor pode, em seguida, perguntar aos alunos quais foram as palavras listadas e registrá -las no
quadro de giz.

Grau Fahrenheit

O grau Fahrenheit (símbolo: °F) é uma escala de temperatura proposta por Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit em
1724. Nessa escala o ponto de fusã o da á gua é de 32 °F e o ponto de ebuliçã o, de 212 °F. Uma diferença
de 1,8 grau Fahrenheit equivale à de 1 °C. Essa escala foi utilizada principalmente pelos países que foram
colonizados pelos britâ nicos, mas seu uso atualmente se restringe a poucos países de língua inglesa,
como os Estados Unidos e Belize.

Fórmulas de conversão de graus Fahrenheit

Professor, sugerimos chamar a atençã o dos alunos para o gênero weather script, que geralmente
apresenta, de forma leve e divertida, como será o clima em um determinado dia. É interessante sempre
estimular o trabalho colaborativo. Você poderá propor aos alunos que escrevam o roteiro
colaborativamente, ou mesmo que o planejamento e a revisã o aconteçam dessa forma. Lembre-os
também de que, quando fazemos previsõ es, há uma grande tendência de usarmos o futuro simples, como
“will”.

chave de textos mais longos e complexos; orientar os alunos a lerem as questõ es relativas ao texto antes
de ouvi-lo para concentrarem sua atençã o na informaçã o relevante; fazer perguntas extras que explorem

sugerimos a seguinte atividade:

In groups, create an instructional video of a game. Here are some steps: introduce the game, describe the

interesting possibilities. Make sure you organize how your will work.

Let’s create a tutorial

Professor, sugerimos chamar a atençã o dos alunos para o gênero tutorial, que geralmente apresenta um
“passo a passo” detalhado para o desenvolvimento de algo. Lembre os alunos de que um bom tutorial é
rico em imagens e possui instruçõ es claras e objetivas. Lembre-os também de que eles deverã o construir
frases usando o imperativo, estrutura característica de tutoriais. Uma boa forma de averiguar se um
tutorial é bom e cumpre com seu propó sito é quando ele é lido e entendido por outra pessoa. Daí a
necessidade de promover uma produçã o colaborativa, encorajando os alunos a lerem e darem feedback
para as produçõ es dos colegas.

1. The first uses steps and the second uses linking words (first, then, after).

Caso julgue interessante, sugerimos destacar que, o primeiro tutorial vem na forma de passo a passo, ao
passo que o segundo está estruturado na forma de texto. Pode-se propor a retextualizaçã o, ou reescrita,
de um na estrutura do outro, como forma de conscientizaçã o e preparaçã o para a tarefa de escrita a
seguir.

As interrogaçõ es marcam os pontos de dú vida na decodificaçã o.

An essay now I mean to write

To you, sweet Katie J,

The girl without a parallel,

The belle of Utica.

I wonder if you got that one

I wrote to you before

I sailed in the Arcadia,

And sent by Ellen/Allen Moore (?)

My empty head will scarce contain

A calm idea bright;

But eighty miles from you I must

Embrace this chance to write.

And first, should any envy you,

Be easy, mind it not;

Should any friendship show, be true,

They should not be forgot.

But friends and foes alike decay,

As you may plainly see,

In every funeral array,

Or uncle’s elegy.

(From virtue never deviate;

Her influence benign

A like induces tendernes,

Or fortitude divine.)

And if you cannot cut a dash,


Or cause an exclamation (?)

I hope you’ll put a period (?)

To one interrogation (?).

Are you for annexation too,

My cousin? Heart and hand

He offers in a paragraph

A section, too, of land.

He says he loves you to excess,

You are virtuous and wise,

In excellency you excel

All others in his eyes.

Pá gina 216

This essay, until you I see

I pray you to excuse,

And do not burn in effigy,

My young and wayward muse.

Now fare you well dear Katie J,

I trust that you are true;

When this you see then you can say,

An essay I owe you.

Aqui também é possível discutir com os alunos a crítica que costuma ser feita à s adaptaçõ es de livros
para o cinema. Pode-se abordar isso com base no livro Crepúsculo (Twilight), perguntando-lhes: Did you
read this book? Did you watch the movie? Why are movie adaptations normally “different” from the book?
Aceitar suas respostas e explicar que sã o linguagens muito diferentes (livro × cinema), que há restriçã o
de tempo (o filme mostra em duas horas o que o livro narra em centenas de pá ginas), que o cinema lida
com movimento, sons, etc. Isso torna a adaptaçã o cinematográ fica uma obra ú nica, que à s vezes passa

1. Suggested answer: A young American couple is staying at a hotel in Italy after the end of war. They
have no friends there. The husband spends most of his time lying in bed reading a book. The wife is
restless and, seeing a cat in the patio in the rain, she starts to wish for a lot of things. She wishes she had
a house of her own where she could receive guests and use shining silver with candles on the table. She
also wishes she had long hair in contrast with her short manly curls. And, above all, she wants a cat she
can hold and stroke and call her own too. She goes down to try to save the cat from the rain and she talks
to the hotel owner, who is a very kind old man, and whom she likes a lot. The cat is gone. She goes back
to the room. Later the hotel maid comes to her door with the little cat, saying the “padrone” had sent her
the kitten.

Ao trabalhar com esta atividade, se julgar necessá rio, discutir antes com os alunos a questã o da
emancipaçã o da mulher ao longo do tempo: pelo que depreendemos do texto de Shakespeare, as
mulheres do seu tempo deveriam se dedicar unicamente à s ocupaçõ es do lar, e as atitudes que se
esperavam de uma boa esposa eram, acima de tudo, gratidã o e obediência ao marido; suas maiores
qualidades seriam a boa aparência e a amabilidade. Já no texto de Hemingway, há uma mudança na
representaçã o da mulher; a personagem manifesta suas vontades e suas insatisfaçõ es; ela nã o se encaixa
no padrã o de esposa obediente e subserviente do século XVII.
