Being teachers, we know how time flies when preparing lessons and trying to accomplish our teaching goals as we lead ‘students to achieve their learning outcomes, fallin love with the targot language, follow on their progress and have a ‘magical group management to foster language and life skill, Therefore, and considering the above before going deeper Into the methodology that supports Odyssey, we want to share with you 2 practical reasons on the sequence the units {follow and on the time needed for each lesson. ‘Sequence of units: 10 units to be taught throughout the schoo! year in 40 weeks. Based on the social practice of the language and the learning outcomes each unit offers in the program, besides considering the student as an active participant and responsible for building learning strategies, we believe in taking students step-by step providing ‘confidence at communicating, then immersing in the language and tinaly, analyzing what the language offers so that fanguage and thinking skills can progress at the same time. Therefore we provide a mixture of learning environments that ‘besides bringing variety to your class, students can grow in the language as they go through the steps mentioned above ina natural way. ‘Timing: every unit offers 4 lessons, a review and product lesson and an evaluation page. Every lesson is to be taught In ‘a week because it also includes the Reader's book and working on subproducts. However, Odyssey was designed on providing flexibility for you to choose the order of units you would like to follow to adapt to your teeching needs. We just invite you to bear in mind that every unit lasts @ month and thatthe lesson plans suggested in this Teacher's book are ‘written in general terms as a set of stops which are there only as a tool but are not mandatory, 60 please feel free to use ‘and adapt the materials but above all, enjoy! 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS According to the dictionary, an Oayssey is an exciting journey. Inspired by this definition, the authors, editors, designers, and arists that participated in putting together this English course nave worked together to create engaging yet challenging activities aimed at rragering students’ imagination and to promoting earning in different ways. in our new Odyssey series, we give students the opportunity to be amazed by the wonders of our world on a dally basis! Skills The world is changing fast, and we need to help our students prepare to face the challenges of the 21" century and support them in building the skills that will nelp them succeed. Nowadays, there is an increasing emphasis on what students can do with information rather than on what they can memorize. The ability to work well with others, especially with others who might be very diferent trom ourselves, has also become more important. Based on recent research reiated to competencies, we have developed a pedagogical framework that adaresses eight main areas of competency divided into two major strands: Thinking and Learning Skills and Social Skis, Thinking and Learning Skills 1 | 2. Critical Thi 3. Information eineaty | “problem-solving, and Communication 7 | Decision-making Technology Literacy 1 Participating in creative Understanding links activities between ideas Using digital and online tools Creating new content from own ideas or other resources Evaluating texts, ideas and | Following safe online arguments practices — to protect yourself and your school Discovering & expressing : Synthesizing ideas and | Behaving appropriately to ‘own personal identity and thers online feelings through creative activities information| Identifying and prioritizing problems to be addressed Evaluating options I Asking effective questions ' | 4.

Each time a student performs an activity, they build on their previous knowledge, abilities, and skils. This is a spontaneous process, which can make it difficult to separate these features into cifferent categories. Nevertheless, when students are exposed to different learning opportunities, itis important to focus on the development of one or more skills Involving students in language social practices that demand communicative interactions in diverse social environments promotes: + Use of real-ite English ‘+ The ability to keep on learning + Emotional self-control * Integration of basic knowledge * Integration of behaviors that tavor collaborative work: * Respect towards others * Appreciation of foreign languages and cultures The topic and purpose of each unit in Oaysseyis defined by a different Social Practice and each unit oursues the fulilment of a set of Learning Outcomes. Please see the Scope and Sequence for a more detailed description ofthis. 6 PRESENTATION | and Global competencies | Understanding personal responsibilities as part of ‘a group and in society including citizenship | Behaving consistently | with personal and social responsibilities | Showing leadership skills Understanding and | describing own culture | Understanding and | discussing global issues - environmental, political, [financial and social Understanding & managing career development options and | ecntucs Collaborative Work Oayssey aims to promote actual collaborative learning. Each time students work together to develop a product, they integrate what they learned in the prevous lessons and get the opportunity to work together as a team, By working collaboratively, they can share thelr strengths with others and develop their own weaker skills. They can also develop their interpersonal abilties as they leam to deal with conflict. We are convinced that by learning to work in a collaborative way helps students to participate actively in diferent tasks, and working as part of @ team is both challenging and motivating for students, and encourages them to acquire new knowledge and skils by facing and solving problems together Evaluation Recent pedagogical research has shown the importance of placing the student at the center of the learning process. Students should be active participants in their own learning which includes self and peer evaluation. Every lesson in Oayssey gives the students an opportunity to rellect on and evaluate what they have just learned and achieved. This a'so helps teachers to keep track of what needs to be reinforced in class as well as which students might need additional help with, For the above, we have included an evaluation too! at the end of every unit for self and peer evaluation on learning outcomes mainly, and an extra, unit evaluation in your Teacher's book to check language progress without losing sight of the functional approach in the methodology. ‘When designing the activities for the Odyssey series, we always kept the students firmly inmind, We believe that students should: actively participate in the learning process take part in real lfe-ike communicative activities, + develop their own ideas about the relationship between the language and its ‘communicative functions, ‘+ make decisions, accept responsibilities, and have an opinion about the activities related to the use and analysis of the language. analyze communicative practices around them to understand, explain, question, adapl, and correct them depending on the social sphore. ‘be exposed to new communicative situations, ‘work in groups, 19 learn about collaboration, negotiation, etc. evelop products where they use their prior knowledge, experiences, and interests be challenged by realistic life-like tasks. Mili, —~————— Remember that as a teacher you use language to transmit ideas. Build rapport with your students by listening to them and by communicating in an accessible way while using appropriate body language. Address your students by their names: this will make it easier for you to know where they stand so that you are able to best assist them and encourage them during the school year so that they improve their English. The following guide includes ‘examples of how you can work with the different activities and readings you wil find 1n Odyssey 5. Feel free to ‘adapt the activities to best suit your needs and those of your students. Keep in rind that "every head is a world” reach their language achievements, hb mor ‘ CEE 4 a ——— \ and taking his into consideration when planning yout lessons might make a big ctlrence in he way your students. 4 iy Activity Book ‘Tho Activity Book contains ten interesting units with motivating developmentally appropriate activities. Each unit comprises four lessons. a Review and Product page ending with an Evalvation designed for students to ‘check an their progress based on the learning outcomes, inthe unit as wall as evaluating their communicative abilities when interacting with others. Atthe end of the ‘books, students can find a Picture Dictionary to facilitate understanding and use of the language. Just as an extra too! to engage students into working on researc’ing abilities as well as on critical thinking skills, we have included some ICT addresses in either the body of the unit or the Review section. Also. we suggest using whenever possible these links to offer variety in activities and tasks. The use of the suggested links Is not mandatory, therefore if Internet is not available. there is ne consequence or loss on the learning process af the language. A description of this component is inciuded on pages 10 and 11 in this book 8 COMPONENTS Reade! ‘The Reader offers 10 beauttuly lustrated reading selections, both narrative and informative and and glossary in each unit.
