human body.

Activity 2: In this activity, you are going to work with the parts of the body,

their movement and how we can communicate with them.

Activity 3: In this activity you are going to work with the senses. Can you

read this sentence? You are using your senses.

Final activity: In this activity you are going to make a presentation about

the body parts. You are going to make a recording about them.

At the end of this unit, you will have done several types of activities: you will have

to work with classmates or independently, you will have to think, to go a step ahead if you want more information, to evaluate yourself, etc.

These are some of the skills you will be practising along this unit:

You will learn the vocabulary of the body parts, the senses and feelings.

In some activities you will work in pairs and in others you will do it alone. In

all cases, you have to value and respect the different opinion of your
