Educational Project Plan: Transportations
Grade: 2nd Grade (Primary)
Scenario: Classroom (via Zoom) — 2 students
Duration: 2 sessions of 60 minutes each
Main Issue: Exploring natural and cultural environments through curiosity
Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize transportation characters, places, objects, and events (PDA)

  • Learn vocabulary: boat, bus, car, helicopter, truck, motorcycle, plane, tractor, train

  • Learn grammar: “I have a (truck). Does he/she have a (plane)?”

  • Practice taking turns during activities

  • Use digital tools (videos, songs, virtual games)

  • Focus on critical interculturality (understanding transport in different cultures)

    • Methodology: Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

    StageTimeActivityDescription & Adaptation for 2nd Grade
    Present10 minsInitial Reflection & QuestionShow a short, engaging video (YouTube) about different transportation modes worldwide, asking: What transports do you know? Have you seen any transports from other countries? <br> Adaptation: Use simple language, visuals, and encourage students to share familiar transports.
    Collect10 minsPrior Knowledge SharingStudents share what they already know about transports, using pictures or words. Teacher records responses on a shared digital board. <br> Adaptation: Use guiding questions: What is your favorite transport? Have you ever traveled by boat or plane?
    Formulate10 minsDefining the ProblemPresent a scenario: A new city has many different transports, but some are missing! We need to help learn about all the transports. <br> Students brainstorm what transports might be missing and why understanding transports is important. <br> Adaptation: Use visual aids and simple language to ensure comprehension.
    Organize10 minsTeam & Strategy PlanningSince there are only 2 students, they plan together: <br> - Assign roles (e.g., one researches vocabulary, the other practices sentences). <br> - Decide on digital tools: videos, online games. <br> - Set goals for the session. <br> Adaptation: Use clear, simple instructions. Encourage turn-taking and collaboration.
    Build15 minsExecute Strategies & Activities1. Review vocabulary using flashcards or digital slides. <br> 2. Play a matching game on Wordwall with transports. <br> 3. Practice grammar: “I have a (truck). Does he/she have a (plane)?” using picture prompts. <br> 4. Sing a transport song (e.g., "The Wheels on the Bus"). <br> Adaptation: Use visual supports, repeat activities, and provide positive reinforcement.
    Verify & Analyze10 minsEvaluation & ReflectionStudents demonstrate understanding by describing transports they “have” and asking about their partner. Teacher observes and corrects as needed. <br> Use digital quizzes or interactive activities to assess comprehension. <br> Adaptation: Keep activities simple, visual, and supportive.
    Share5 minsSocialize & AssessmentStudents share what they learned: <br> - Say a sentence about transports. <br> - Show a picture of their favorite transport and say it in English. <br> - Teacher provides feedback. <br> Adaptation: Use praise, encouraging words, and visual cues to boost confidence.
