TEACHER'S GUIDE (SIMPLE MACHINE)

PREREADING ACTIVITIES

Discussion To get students thinking about how this topic relates to their interests and lives, ask: What are the simple machines? 

Where are simple machines used in the school and home? 

How many simple machines can you identify in a bicycle? 

Concept Map Explain to students that they will be reading Simple Machines. 

What are some words related to simple machines? 

List students’ responses on the board. (See box below for some terms they may suggest.)

 After creating a list, ask students to group the words into categories, such as Lever Family and Inclined Plane Family. Create a concept map by writing Simple Machines on the board and circling it. 

Write the kinds of simple machines around the circle and draw lines between the ideas to show the connections. Then list examples and write the words from the list around the appropriate categories.

Get Set to Read (Anticipation Guide) Copy and distribute the Get Set to Read blackline master (page 3 of this Teacher’s Guide). Explain to students that this Anticipation Guide will help them find out what they know and what misconceptions they have about the topic. Get Set to Read is a list of statements—some true, some false. Ask students to write whether they think each statement is true or false in the Before Reading column. Be sure to tell students that it is not a test and they will not be graded on their answers. The activity can be completed in a variety of ways for differentiated instruction: Have students work on their own or in small groups to complete the entire page. Assign pairs of students to focus on two statements and to become “experts” on these topics. Ask students to complete the Before Reading column on their own, and then tabulate the class’s answers on the chalkboard, on an overhead transparency, or on your classroom computer. Review the statements orally with the entire class. If you predict that students will need assistance finding the answers, complete the Page Number column before copying Get Set to Read.

Preview Distribute Simple Machines and model how to preview it. Examine titles, headings, words in boldface, pictures, charts, and captions. Then have students add new information to the Concept Map. If students will only be reading a few pages at one sitting, preview only the selected pages.

ADJECTIVES OR ADVERB

Carlos aquí te explico la diferencia entre los adjetivos y los adverbios

ADJECTIVES OR ADVERBS

The adverbs and the adjectives in English
Adjectives tell us something about a person or a thing. Adjectives can modify nouns (here: girl) or pronouns (here: she).
Adverbs tell us in what way someone does something. Adverbs can modify verbs (here: drive), adjectives or other adverbs.

	Mandy drives carefully.
She is very careful.	She drives carefully.

Mandy is a careful driver. This sentence is about Mandy, the driver, so use the adjective.

Mandy is a careful girl.

If the adjective ends in-y, change -y to -i. Then add -ly:

If the adjective ends in-le, the adverb ends in-ly:

APRIL FOOL'S DAY

APRIL FOOL'S DAY

For hundreds of years, people had celebrated the New Year for eight days, beginning on March 25 and ending on April 1. In 1582, Pope Gregory changed all that. He introduced a new calendar, which all people in the Christian world were supposed to follow. On this new calendar, the year began on January 1.
Some people who hadn't heard about the new calendar or didn't really believe or care still celebrated on April 1. Other people called these people "April Fools" and played tricks on them.
This was the beginning of April Fool's Day.

PANCAKE DAY

PANCAKE DAY

Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is a special day celebrated in many countries around the world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada. Shrove Tuesday is at the end of Carnival. On this day many people eat pancakes, a thin, flat cake made in a pan.

Pancake Day is always on a Tuesday in February or March. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Lent is a period of 40 days before Easter. Traditionally, during Lent, people didn’t eat rich foods like butter and eggs, so they made pancakes from these ingredients on Shrove Tuesday.

Another tradition on Pancake Day in the UK is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss the pancake (throw the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan) several times. In some pancake races people dress up in fancy dress costumes. The most famous pancake race takes place in a town called Olney, in the middle of England. People say that Olney has been celebrating pancake races since 1445!

NEW YEAR'S CONCERT

NEW YEAR'S CONCERT FROM WIEN 

It has long been a Philharmonic tradition at the New Year to present a program consisting of the lively and at the same time nostalgic music from the vast repertoire of the family of Johann Strauss and its contemporaries. These concerts not only delight the audiences in the Musikverein in Vienna, but also enjoy great international popularity through the worldwide television broadcast, which now reaches over 90 countries.

Fascinating Music of the Strauss Dynasty

Originating during the darkest chapter in Austria's history, these concerts have continually grown in popularity in the decades since, which can be attributed to the verve and creative energy of the compositions of the Strauss dynasty, as well as their authoritative interpretations. Today millions of people throughout the world draw joy and optimism for the New Year ahead through the light-hearted yet subtly profound character of this music.

Masterpieces of the Genre

It is the desire of the Philharmonic not only to provide musically definitive interpretations of the masterworks of this genre, but at the same time, as musical ambassadors of Austria, to send people all over the world a New Year's greeting in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace.

AULD LANG SYNE

Auld Lang Syne

The most commonly sung song for English-speakers on New Year's eve, "Auld Lang Syne" is an old Scottish song that was first published by the poet Robert Burns in the 1796 edition of the book, Scots Musical Museum. Burns transcribed it (and made some refinements to the lyrics) after he heard it sung by an old man from the Ayrshire area of Scotland, Burns's homeland.

It is often remarked that "Auld Lang Syne" is one of the most popular songs that nobody knows the lyrics to. "Auld Lang Syne" literally translates as "old long since" and means "times gone by." The song asks whether old friends and times will be forgotten and promises to remember people of the past with fondness, "For auld lang syne, we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet."
