EXPLORING CULTURE tiene como propósito brindar a los profesores un conjunto de ayudas didácticas de aspectos culturales, que complementan el trabajo comunicativo de la enseñanza del Inglés como lengua extranjera. Los aspectos culturales se trabajan teniendo en cuenta la importancia que el Marco Común Europeo da a la cultura, en donde señala que «las competencias lingüística y cultural respecto a cada lengua se modifican mediante el conocimiento de la otra lengua y contribuyen a crear una conciencia, unas destrezas y unas capacidades interculturales. Permiten que el individuo desarrolle una personalidad más rica y compleja, y mejoran la capacidad de aprendizaje posterior de lenguas y de apertura a nuevas experiencias culturales. […] El alumno no adquiere dos formas de actuar y de comunicarse distintas y que no se relacionan, sino que se convierte en plurilingüe y desarrolla una interculturalidad». Marco Común Europeo de referencia (2002:60) Es preciso anotar que esta cartilla no es un texto guía donde el docente podrá encontrar la forma de trabajar la asignatura o los aspectos gramaticales. Es entonces, un material educativo que complementa los procesos del libro texto y que le permite al estudiante conocer, familiarizarse, tener contacto y explorar elementos culturales de los países angloparlantes. Se pretende que esta herramienta sea de utilidad para orientar la práctica educativa y enriquecer las actividades que se desarrollan con los alumnos. EXPLORING CULTURE constituye un recurso didáctico que busca fortalecer la práctica docente y ampliar las oportunidades de aprendizaje y el desarrollo de competencias de los alumnos en ambientes lúdicos, de convivencia e interacción, aprovechando los espacios de taller u otros momentos académicos. En este material educativo se encontrará un conjunto de estrategias, actividades, ejercicios y sugerencias que se pueden poner en práctica en el aula, y que podrán ser enriquecidos a partir de la experiencia docente y del conocimiento de los alumnos. Las temáticas que se plantean se caracterizan por su adaptabilidad, puesto que le permiten al profesor adecuarlas a su contexto escolar según sus posibilidades y necesidades; o bien, pueden ser utilizadas para introducir nuevas experiencias. Estamos seguras que esta cartilla es un complemento de gran utilidad para mejorar los aprendizajes de niñas, niños y jóvenes. Los invitamos a utilizarla y aprovecharla. ¡Diviértanse utilizando EXPLORING CULTURE!. ORGANIZACIÓN DE EXPLORING CULTURE Esta cartilla consta de cinco unidades cada una con los siguientes elementos: 1. Lectura de ambientación sobre la festividad, celebración o ícono. 2. Guía para el maestro con la explicación del procedimiento para cada actividad. 3. Ejercicios de comprensión lectora. 4. Actividades lúdicas. 5. Actividades manuales relacionadas con el tema central de la unidad. TIPS METODOLÓGICOS • Realizar actividades previas a la lectura: ejercicios de predicción, adivinar personajes, describir imágenes. • Iniciar las actividades con la lectura general del texto buscando la comprensión global. • Invitar a los estudiantes a inferir el significado del vocabulario desconocido por medio de láminas o fijándose en el contexto. • Animar a los estudiantes a expresar lo que comprendieron del texto: personajes, lugares, situaciones, sentimientos, etc. • Trabajar la comprensión lectora de manera individual o grupal para una posterior socialización de las respuestas. • Recopilar las actividades lúdicas en una carpeta para realizar una exposición de los trabajos. • Utilizar material reciclable para el desarrollo de las actividades manuales.

My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was a long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn’t like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn’t the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings. Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn’t going to support that law! Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favorite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers. One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death. I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love. One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, “Love from your Valentine.” I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine’s Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love cannot be beaten! Adapted from http://isabelperez.com/St%20ValentineStory.htm Valentine's Day in scotland In Scotland Valentine’s Day is celebrated by having a festival. At the festival there is an equal amount of young unmarried (single) men and young unmarried (single) ladies who get together. Each of them write their name or a made up name on a piece of paper and roll it up. The names are then placed in a hat; one for the men and one for the ladies. Next, they draw a piece of paper out of the hat. Both may end up with two valentines but the young man is supposed to stick with the valentine who has chosen his name. The young men give their Valentine a small gift and the young ladies wear their Valentine’s name over their heart or on their sleeve. There might also be a dance and at the end of the festival there might even be a lot of marriages or romances. TEacher's guide ACTIVIDAD 1: WHAT’S THE STORY?

Mother's DAY Mother's day Mother’s day comes from ancient traditions: Celebrations in the time of Greeks and Romans The tradition of Mother’s Day started with the ancient Greeks who celebrated their annual spring festival in honor of Rhea, the mother of many gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. Ancient Romans also celebrated a spring festival by the name of Hilaria in honor of Cybele, a mother goddess, some 250 years before Christ was born. Celebrations in UK In the UK, Mother’s Day celebrations started by the name of Mothering Sunday. Mothering Sunday came to be celebrated in the UK during the 17th century. Children of poor families were sent to work as apprentices and domestic servants for the rich. These children were allowed to visit their “Mother Church” or the Cathedral of their home town annually in the middle of the month. Children met their mothers after visiting the church and presented them with flowers and special “Mothering Cakes”. Struggle of Anna Jarvis A loving daughter from West Virginia, Anna Jarvis is recognized as the “Founder of Mother’s Day” or “Mother of Mother’s Day”. Anna was inspired by her activist mother, Mrs. Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis, who expressed a wish that someone should strive to provide mothers their due recognition. After her mother’s death in 1905, Anna’s determination became strong and she along with several supporters started lobbying for the official holiday of Mother’s Day by writing letters to the people in power. To celebrate Mother’s Day, Anna sent her mother’s favorite flower, carnations, to her local church requesting people to wear them in honor of their mothers. The idea gained immense popularity over the years and in 1910, West Virginia became the first state to recognize Mother’s Day as a holiday. Adapted from: http://www.mothersdaycelebration.com/ mothers-day-history.html HOW IS MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATED AROUND THE WORLD? Mother’s day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Many people send cards or gifts to their mother or mother figure, or make a special effort to visit her. Common Mother’s Day gifts include flowers, chocolate, candy, clothing, jewelry and treats, such as a beauty treatment or trip to a spa. Some families organize an outing for all family members or hold a special meal at home or in a restaurant. In the days and weeks before Mother’s Day, many schools help their pupils to prepare a handmade card or small gift for their mothers. There is a tribute that involves wearing a flower on mother’s day. If a girl or woman is seen wearing a pink or red flower, it is assumed that her mother is alive. If the flower is white, it signifies that the girl or woman’s mother is dead. TEacher's guide ANTES DE INICIAR LAS ACTIVIDADES 1.

Many hundreds of years ago, people called the Celts lived in Europe and on the British Isles. The Celts believed that the souls of the dead visited Earth on the last day of October. They had a festival in honor of these souls of the dead, and they called it Samhain. In time, the Roman Empire conquered the Celts and took over some of their beliefs as well. This included Samhain. The Romans combined it with their own festivals. And since the Roman Empire spread across a great part of the known world, the idea that the souls of the dead visited Earth on the last day of October spread far and wide. Many ideas from the Roman days still survive in the United States and in other Western countries. Halloween is one of them. But how did we get the name Halloween? In the 8th Century, the Catholic Church declared November 1st to be All Saints’ Day. The mass that the Catholic Church celebrated that day was called Allhallowmas. This meant “mass of all the hallowed (saintly people)”. It was commonly called “All Hallows’ Day.” And somewhere along the line, the night before became known as Allhallowe’en, which was short for “evening before All Hallows’ Day.” It was then shortened to what we now call it, Halloween. Why do people dress up as ghosts, goblins, vampires, and other scary creatures? The people who started all this Halloween business many years ago believed that if they appeared scary, they would scare away the spirits of the dead who were roaming the earth on All Hallows’ Eve. These people also carried food to the edge of town and left it there, hoping the spirits would eat that food and not come raid the village. Adapted from: http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/ articles/holidays/halloweenhistory.htm CURIOUS FACTS? • In the United States trick-ortreaters are welcomed by placing lighted pumpkins known as jack-o’-lanterns in their windows. • The North American tradition of trick or treat comes from the original idea that you must be kind to dead ancestors or they will play a trick on you. • In North America, people believed that it was bad luck for a black cat to cross your path. It was believed that it was unlucky for a black cat to come into their homes or travel on their ships. • One of the most well-known Halloween games is apple bobbing or ducking where people try to grab apples with their teeth. Sometimes the apples are in a bucket of water; sometimes they’re hanging from the ceiling.

The most important celebration is the Guacherna, fantastic night parade, two Fridays before the Saturday of Carnival. The Battle of Flowers is a traditional float parade, where national celebrities, Miss Colombia and other International Misses participate.

No one knows the exact date of Christ’s birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25th. CHRISTMAS SYMBOLS On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes Maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. • Angel: an angel told the shepherds of the birth of Jesus. Angels come in many forms for Christmas decorations including the tree topper. The story of Christmas comes mainly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament. According to Luke, an angel appeared to shepherds outside the town of Bethlehem and told them of Jesus’ birth. Matthew tells how the wise men, called Magi, followed a bright star that led them to Jesus. FACTS • Santa Claus has a Dutch origin. He was developed from St. Nicholas who was a real person. St. Nicholas, was the patron saint of school boys. He brought gifts to the children. • The idea that Santa Claus comes down the chimney originated in Norway, where children hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace mantel. • Christmas trees have pagan origins. When pagans became Christian, they used evergreens (a sacred tree) for the holiday by decorating them with nuts and candles. They sang Christmas carols as they danced around the Christmas tree. • Christmas colors are red and green. Today, traditional Christmas activities include caroling, making and giving gifts, sending cards to family and friends, and enjoying festive dinners and parties. • Advent Wreath: four candles placed on a wreath. One candle is lit each Sunday before Christmas in anticipation of Christ’s birthday. • Bells: church bells rang to announce the birth of Jesus. They still ring today. • Candles: represent the light that Jesus brought to earth. Pagans who converted to Christianity used candles on the sacred evergreen tree. • Christmas caroling: is a medieval custom of singing and dancing around a Christmas tree. Early carols weren’t holy enough for singing inside a church, so caroling was done outside. • Christmas stockings: there is a legend associated with the origin of the Christmas stockings. St. Nick, who wanted to remain anonymous and help a poor family, threw gold coins down their chimney. They fell into a stocking that was hanging there to dry. • Christmas tree Lights: the lights represent Christ as being the “Light of the World.” Lights also represent stars. Candles were first used as lights on the Christmas tree. • Gifts: the first Christmas gifts were given by the Wisemen to Baby Jesus. • Reindeer : reindeer were the animals chosen by St. Nicholas to pull his sleigh. His reindeers’ names are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is the most famous. • Star: the Star of Bethlehem guided the Three Wisemen to Baby Jesus. • Three Wise men: three kings travelled far to see Jesus. They brought their best treasures for gifts.
