Methodology

Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

Axes

Appropriation of Cultures through Reading and Writing

1. Present

15 minutes

• Begin with a brief discussion: "Why is knowing how to tell the time important?"
• Show different clocks (analog and digital).

• Use visuals to connect to cultural contexts (clocks from different countries).

Students recognize the importance of telling time and express prior ideas about clocks.

2. Collect

20 minutes

• Students share what they already know about telling time in English.
• Use a simple KWL chart (Know, Want to know, Learned).

• Connect to cultural differences in time expression.

Clear understanding of students' existing knowledge and misconceptions.

3. Formulate

15 minutes

• As a class, define the main problem: "How can we learn to tell time in English so we don't interrupt class?"
• Create a problem statement together.

• Emphasize cultural aspects of time (e.g., formal vs informal expressions).

A shared understanding of the task and goal.

4. Organize

20 minutes

• Divide students into small teams (3-4 students).
• Assign roles (researcher, recorder, presenter).
• Plan activities: research, practice, create games.

• Encourage cultural exploration through reading texts about clocks from different cultures.

Teams are prepared with strategies to learn and teach telling time.

5. Build

60 minutes

• Teams create learning materials: flashcards, clock models, simple dialogues in English.
• Practice telling time through role-play and games.
• Incorporate cultural stories or traditions related to time from different cultures.

Monitor progress, provide guidance, and ensure activities are age-appropriate.

Students actively practice telling time in English with cultural context.

6. Verify & Analyze

20 minutes

• Conduct a quiz or activity where students tell the time in English.
• Peer review: students assess each other's understanding.
• Reflect on what strategies worked best.

• Connect to cultural differences in expressing time.

Students demonstrate their understanding; teachers identify areas needing reinforcement.

7. Share

15 minutes

• Students present their clock models or role-plays.
• Share cultural facts learned about time from different countries.
• Reflect on the process and what they learned.

Guide reflection, highlight cultural diversity, and celebrate achievements.

Students articulate their learning, appreciate cultural differences, and feel confident telling time in English.
