Learning Unit 2:

Communication, plots and environmental issues

Development of the Learning Unit

- Describe and explain gesture and meanings. Recognize and use verbs for gesturing (e.g., wave, point, shrug your shoulders, hold your nose, tap your foot, raise your hand, cross your finger, rub your hands, bite your fingernails, etc.) and parts of body (e.g., shoulders, thumb, index finger, etc.).

-Talk about situations when people use non-verbal communication (When something smells bad, we hold our nose/ when we see a friend from a distance, we usually wave at them/ we often lift our thumb to wish someone good luck, etc.).

-Ask and answer questions about personal habits regarding emotions and body language (e.g., What gesture do you use when you feel bored? I think I usually tap my feet or I bite my fingernails/ What do you do when you feel nervous? Sometimes I bite my nails.../ How about when  you want to say...? Etc.).
