The magic pencil, depicted on the Magic Pocket, is part of the flashcard presentation for the vocabulary in each unit It is also a metaphor for the children's own reading and writing development; it is used in the Class Book to highlight particular activities that work pencil skills and word recognition The second set of characters are real British children: Alice, Adam, Cathy, Mark and Ben, who we encounter through the photographic real-world settings in the Class Book and the accompanying DVD episodes These children take part in excursions and activities, which reveal aspects of British culture and which invite comparison with the children's own experiences The third set of characters are the cartoon explorers These come in three different colours – red, green and blue – and champion the good habits of an explorer (and a good citizen), such as being tidy, while also providing prompts for the Explorers Quest Explorers Quest and Learn to learn The Explorers Quest adds a unique dimension to the course Firstly, on each double-page spread of the Class Book, there is an item hidden within the artwork These items are revision words, and at the end of each unit, the children match and colour the words to the explorer character from that spread In this way, recycling is built into each unit in a way that is fun and also involves some exploring! The second function of the Explorers Quest is to provide an opportunity for exploring the concept of Learn to learn In the Activity Book, the review page includes a Quest map, which illustrates some of the activities in the unit that are connected to different learning experiences and styles The icons on the map directly relate to an activity that the children should be able to remember and talk about, which in turn can lead to a discussion about learning The icons have the following meanings: © 2020 Oxford University Press Copying, modification, publication, broadcast, sale or other distribution of the book is prohibited Introduction 4027090 First Explorers TB2 SP.indb 09/08/2012 12:01 Introduction Explorers Quest Exploring language through reviewing the unit and revising language Picture Dictionary Reinforcing language and learning to recognize words; this moves from reading and copying, to eventually writing words It also represents a place to compile language, so that the children can review it / show their parents what they have learnt Cut-out Making something to help remember language, as well as cooperative learning by working in pairs and groups, and building communicative skills Lucky says This is the TPR (total physical response) strand of the course, which connects actions with learning language and shows the importance of physical response to reinforce and demonstrate understanding Songs/Chants Learning through music and rhythm, especially with actions, is part of reinforcing meaning and can also be practised elsewhere – such as at home or in the playground – as well as helping to develop good pronunciation Stories Stories are an important feature of the course across First Explorers, Young Explorers and World Explorers In First Explorers 2, the main stories for each unit feature Toby, Ella, Max and Lucky and commence in Lesson The illustration in the Class Book sets the scene for the theme of the unit and the beginning of the characters’ adventure, which continues across subsequent lessons In Lesson 3, two or three story frames present the main structure of the unit and begin the story proper The narrative continues in Lesson with a six-frame story that includes examples of the target structure and vocabulary, as well as simple incidental language The story language is such that the children can join in with repeated phrases and sound effects, and follow the action clearly in the Storybook and in their Class Books The stories are fun and bring out the personalities of the main characters and, of course, the loveable Lucky! The teaching notes provide further ideas for developing understanding and exploiting language Exploration of the real world First Explorers also has a strong real-world focus This is reflected in the DVD content, which is integrated with the Class Book material in several lessons Firstly, there is a vocabulary presentation to support Lesson Then, there is an episode to follow up the cross-curricular theme in Lesson 6, which expands on this theme and provides footage to exploit it further Finally, the Let’s explore! episode for Lesson concentrates on the experiences of a group of British children, including a day at the adventure playground, visiting a miniature village, and a trip to a natural history museum The locations of these episodes – and the experiences of the children – link directly to the theme and language of the unit, and are exploited further via the photographs on the Class Book page Not only these stories show the children exploring somewhere new, but they also provide the children with the opportunity to make comparisons with their own experiences In addition, they reinforce the values and classroom language taught on the Class Book page Don’t forget, the DVD episodes can also be screened on a projector or Interactive Whiteboard for greater impact, really helping to bring these lessons to life Cross-curricular and DVD These lessons provide the real-world focus; they are about learning concepts through English and learning about the wider world © 2020 Oxford University Press Introduction 9 Copying, modification, publication, broadcast, sale or other distribution of the book is prohibited 4027090 First Explorers TB2 SP.indb 09/08/2012 12:01 Animal noises Ask the class to make the noise of the animals they know in English When they are all making noises, say Goodbye, (snakes)!
