Introduction to the Course
Features
Unit Overview At the beginning of each unit, you will find a Unit Overview with useful information for the teacher: the social practices of the language, the environment, and the expected outcomes. It also suggests what resources you need and the language that is covered in the unit. Finally, it contains references to the Big Book story and to the worksheet you can use as extra activity.
Warm Up suggestions They include chants, songs and games. However, feel free to use whichever activity you find useful; more over, you can also repeat the ones your students like the most. When the warm-up activity suggests a song, bear in mind the following: • Introduce the song using mime, TPR or cards to convey the meaning. • Play the audio once and give students a chance to listen while you model the sentences. • Play the audio once again and ask students to repeat and imitate you. Wrap Up suggestions As above, this is a fun way to reinforce what was learned during the lesson. Use the activities you feel more comfortable with. Here’s a suggestion: • Words and letters: Write on the board the new vocabulary. Write the first letter with one color and the last letter with another color. This will help students to visually distinguish which words have the same letters at the beginning and at the end. It can also help them to recognize, identify and reflect on how words are formed.

Warm Up and Wrap Up Activities Sunburst suggests activities you can use for opening and for closing your English lessons. For this cycle, we suggest activities that can become a routine because routines give children more confidence. These activities can also be adapted and used to practice what was taught in the previous lessons, to introduce the new lesson, or to learn vocabulary in a fun way. The warm-up activities are a useful icebreaker, too.
