Student’s Book page 77 6 Find out about how people recycle paper, plastic, or aluminum. Make a flow chart. •
Use the picture in the Student’s Book to present
flow chart . Ask students if they’ve seen a diagram like this
before and, if so, what it showed. Explain/Elicit that a
flow chart shows a continuous process and that each
rectangular box has details of one stage of the process.
Ask what links the different stages (arrows).
•
Divide students into pairs and allow them to work
with books or class computers to research the recycling
process for paper, plastic, or aluminum (making sure they
don’t all choose the same material). They might find
relevant flow charts on the Internet, but tell them they
need to make their own version (with language they can
understand).
•
Students first make a list of the stages of their process.
Then they draw the diagram, with the correct number of
boxes and arrows linking them. If students have access to
class computers, they can produce the flow chart on the
computer, using the “Insert – Shapes – Flowchart” and
“Insert – Shapes – Block Arrows” tabs. They can type a
sentence for each stage inside the flowchart boxes.
•
If students aren’t using computers, they draw the
boxes and write a sentence in each one to explain what
happens at that stage of the process.
•
Students present their flow chart to the class. This can be
done using their digital file on the interactive whiteboard
or by presenting and describing their written work to
the class.
•
The completed flow charts can then be displayed in the
classroom or kept in digital folders.
