PRESENTACIÓN

El Colegio de Bachilleres del Estado de Sonora, a través de sus docentes, reestructura la forma de
sus contenidos curriculares y lo plasma en sus módulos de aprendizaje, para facilitar el desarrollo
de competencias. En el caso del componente de Formación para el Trabajo, además de las
competencias genéricas, fortalece el sentido de apreciación hacia procesos productivos, porque
aunque el bachillerato que te encuentras cursando es general y te prepara para ir a la universidad,
es importante el que aprendas un oficio y poseas una actitud positiva para desempeñarlo.

De tal forma que, este módulo de aprendizaje, es una herramienta valiosa porque con su contenido
y estructura propiciará tu desarrollo como persona visionaria, competente e innovadora,
características que se establecen en los objetivos de la Reforma Integral de Educación Media
Superior.

El módulo de aprendizaje es uno de los apoyos didácticos que el COBACH te ofrece con la finalidad
de garantizar la adecuada transmisión de saberes actualizados, acorde a las nuevas políticas
educativas, además de lo que demandan los escenarios local, nacional e internacional. En cuanto
a su estructura, el módulo se encuentra organizado en bloques de aprendizaje y secuencias
didácticas. Una secuencia didáctica es un conjunto de actividades, organizadas en tres momentos:
4 inicio, desarrollo y cierre.
INGLÉS III

En el inicio desarrollarás actividades que te permitirán identificar y recuperar las experiencias, los
saberes, las preconcepciones y los conocimientos que ya has adquirido a través de tu formación,
mismos que te ayudarán a abordar con facilidad el tema que se presenta en el desarrollo,
donde realizarás actividades que introducen nuevos conocimientos dándote la oportunidad de
contextualizarlos en situaciones de la vida cotidiana, con la finalidad de que tu aprendizaje sea
significativo. Posteriormente se encuentra el momento de cierre de la secuencia didáctica, donde
integrarás todos los saberes que realizaste en las actividades de inicio y desarrollo.

En todas las actividades de los tres momentos se consideran los saberes conceptuales,
procedimentales y actitudinales. De acuerdo a las características y del propósito de las actividades,
éstas se desarrollan de forma individual, grupal o equipos.

Para el desarrollo de tus actividades deberás utilizar diversos recursos, desde material
bibliográfico, videos, investigación de campo, etcétera; así como realizar actividades prácticas de
forma individual o en equipo.

La retroalimentación de tus conocimientos es de suma importancia, de ahí que se te invita a


participar de forma activa cuando el docente lo indique, de esta forma aclararás dudas o bien
fortalecerás lo aprendido; además en este momento, el docente podrá tener una visión general
del logro de los aprendizajes del grupo.
Recuerda que la evaluación en el enfoque en competencias es un proceso continuo, que
permite recabar evidencias a través de tu trabajo, donde se tomarán en cuenta los tres saberes:
conceptual, procedimental y actitudinal, con el propósito de que apoyado por tu maestro mejores
el aprendizaje. Es necesario que realices la autoevaluación, este ejercicio permite que valores
tu actuación y reconozcas tus posibilidades, limitaciones y cambios necesarios para mejorar tu
aprendizaje.

Así también, es recomendable la coevaluación, proceso donde de manera conjunta valoran su


actuación, con la finalidad de fomentar la participación, reflexión y crítica ante situaciones de sus
aprendizajes, promoviendo las actitudes de responsabilidad e integración del grupo.

Finalmente, se destaca que, en este modelo, tu principal contribución es que adoptes un rol
activo y participativo para la construcción de tu propio conocimiento y el desarrollo de tus
competencias, a través de lo que podrás dar la respuesta y la contextualización adecuadas para
resolver los problemas del entorno a los que te enfrentes, ya sean personales o profesionales.

aprendizaje.
En este espacio realizarás una evaluación de tu propio
trabajo, misma que deberá ser honesta para que puedas
identificar los conocimientos que has adquirido y las
habilidades que has desarrollado, así como las áreas que
necesitas reforzar.

Este tipo de evaluación se hace con uno


o varios de tus compañeros, en ella tú los
evalúas y ellos a ti. Les permite, además
de valorar sus aprendizajes, colaborar y
aprender unos de otros.

Son los criterios a considerarse


como guía para saber que 7

que determinará la evaluación
de los mismos.

Durante el semestre, tu profesor te irá


indicando qué evidencias (actividades)
debes ir resguardando para integrarlos en
un portafolio, mismos que le entregarás
cuando te lo indique, a través del cual te
evaluará.

elaboraron el módulo de aprendizaje, las páginas de internet de las
cuales se tomó información, los vídeos y otras fuentes que nutrieron
los contenidos. Te permite también ampliar la información que te

Read about what Molly used to do when she was young.

The way we were

I was a young girl in the 1960s. My friends and I used to do a lot of things which shocked our parents. We
used to do things our mothers never did. We cut our hair, we wore short skirts, we smoked, and went
dancing. We danced to the music of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. We also got the chance to see the
Beatles live at a concert once. It was amazing. My father went fishing once a week. He always wished that
I would accompany him, but fishing was not my cup of tea. Instead my friends and I went for picnics in the
surrounding area quite often. My boyfriend had a car, a 1960 Ford Falcon, so he always picked us up and
we often drove to Brighton. We went to the pictures twice a week and I loved to watch films with Marlon
Brando and Elizabeth Taylor , especially the ‘Reflections in a Golden Eye’ starring both of them. I still love
to watch this film. It’s my favorite. I can remember it all so clearly.

Read the following text and answer the questions below. Answer with complete sentences and be
careful with capitalization and punctuation marks.

School in Ancient Times

What was school like in ancient times? In Greece 2,500 years ago, students used to get up at dawn to go
to school. Classes began very early and ended when it was dark. Students didn´t rest on the weekends.
They had classes seven days a week, so they didn´t have much time for anything else. In Athens, only the
sons of rich people went to school, and they started school around the age of seven. After they learned
to read and write, they used to study Greek poetry and historical works. Music was very important, and
physical training was also important. Teachers used to hit students who didn´t pay attention or were lazy.
Girls stayed at home with their mothers and learned how to do work in the home.

In ancient Rome, boys and girls from wealthy families received a bilingual education. They had to study
Greek and Latin. Students usually had classes outside, if the weather was good, or in the teacher´s house.
Young students sat on the floor. Older students used to sit on benches, higher up. That´s how “high school”
gots its name.

Education was very important to the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. Boys and girls used to attend school,
27
but they were kept separate from one another. They learned Aztec history, myths, and rituals, but they
memorized everything because they weren´t any textbooks. The boys received intensive military training.

children of nobility and another for children of ordinary families.

Multiple Intelligences
According to psychologist Howard Gardener, people have some different types of intelligences. Some
people are good at some things; other people are good at others. Not all people are good on everything.
A person with logical-mathematical intelligence can solve math problems easily, and someone with good
musical intelligence can play an instrument well. For example, Mozart´s musical intelligence was amazing.
His first work was at the age of five, and his first opera at the age of fourteen. Albert Einstein was a brilliant
mathematician, but his interpersonal intelligence wasn´t very good. Einstein wasn´t very sociable.

Let´s look at a variety of intelligences of some famous people in history. Napoleon was a great general
and strategist. Sigmund Freud had good linguistic intelligence, and he was good with people. Winston
Churchill wasn´t a very good student at school, but he was a political genius. He was one of Britain´s
greatest prime ministers. Churchill was also a newspaper reporter, and a very good painter. Thomas Edison
wasn´t a scientist, but he was a great inventor with lots or practical ideas. Some of his inventions were the
phonograph, the electric bulb, and the movie camera. Leonardo da Vinci is a good example of different
types of intelligences. Leonardo was a painter, a sculptor, a designer, an architect, a scientist, an engineer,
an inventor, all in one.

Read the following biography and answer part A and B.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)


Albert Einstein, one of the world’s most renowned scientists, was
born in Germany in 1879. It is said that he didn’t talk until he was
four years old, and that his parents and others believed that he was
of average intelligence, or less. When he was in elementary school,
his teachers didn’t think he was a successful student. By the time
he was eight years old, they had already decided that he could
not learn as fast as his classmates could. Furthermore, he didn’t
have much interest in his classes, and didn´t give time to study the
required Latin and Greek.

The only subject that interested him was mathematics. However,


even this interest caused trouble with his teachers; Einstein solved
mathematical problems in his own way which was different from
the way of the prescribed curriculum. His teachers didn’t believe
56 that his future would be very bright.
INGLÉS III

When Einstein was sixteen, he left school. His parents moved to Italy earlier, so he decided to follow
them there. After he was in Italy for only a few months, he decided to enter another school, the
Zurich Polytechnic, in Switzerland. There he encountered other problems: the teachers forced him
to study the same subjects that the other students were studying at the same time. Of course, he
already mastered the basic subjects that were taught in the school, and so he quickly became bored
and disillusioned. He had been studying physics and other natural sciences by himself before that
time, and he hoped to continue in his own way. After many frustrations, he finally graduated from the
Polytechnic just after he turned twenty-one years old. At that time, he began publishing his important
scientific theories. At first, his theories weren’t accepted, but after a while, other scientists realized
how brilliant they were, and Einstein received the recognition he deserved.

Einstein settled in the United States before World War II. He taught at Princeton University in New
Jersey, and continued making important contributions to science. In the town of Princeton, he used
to walk around town like any ordinary citizen, and was usually not recognized as the great man that
he was.

Einstein’s theories changed the ways that scientists thought about time, space, and matter. His ideas,
such as the theory of relativity, continue to be valid today. There was no other scientist of such
importance in the twentieth century, and indeed, he is among the few great scientists of all time.

Adapted from Spack,R &Keith S (2000) Focus on Grammar Workbook Vol. A. Second Ed. Longman

Hannah met Jamie in the summer of 2004. It was Hannah’s 21st birthday and she and her friends went to a
club. They wanted to dance, but they didn’t like the music so Hannah went to speak to the DJ. ‘This music
is awful,’ she said. ‘Could you play something else?’ The DJ looked at her and said ‘Don’t worry; I have the
perfect song for you.’

Two minutes later he said: ‘The next song is by Coldplay. It’s called Yellow and it’s for a beautiful girl who
is dancing over there.’ Hannah knew that the song was for her because she was wearing a yellow dress.
When Hannah and her friends left the club the DJ was waiting at the door. ‘Hi, I’m Jamie,’ he said to
Hannah. ‘Can I see you again?’ So Hannah gave him her phone number.

Next day Jamie phoned Hannah and invited her to dinner. He took her to a very romantic French restaurant
and they talked all evening. After that Jamie and Hannah saw each other every day. Every evening when
Hannah finished work they met at 5:30 pm in a coffee bar in the High Street. They were madly in love.

One evening in October 31st, Hannah was at work. As usual she was going to meet Jamie at 5:30 pm. It was
dark and it was raining. She looked at her watch. It was 5:20! She was going to be late! She ran to her car
and got in. At 5:25 pm she was driving along the High Street. She was going very fast because she was in
a hurry. 69

When Hannah was on her way she hit the sidewalk. She called an ambulance and they took her to the

Crosscutting Project
Reading Comprehension Approach.
In the subject Mexican History block 2, you looked into the Ancient Civilizations in Mexico which are
also known as Pre-hispanic cultures. The Mesoamerican region accommodates the most advanced and
complex civilizations of the American continent which developed over many centuries before the arrival
of the invading Spanish “conquistadors”. The main Mesoamerican Pre-hispanic cultures of Mexico are:
the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Zapotec, Maya, Aztec, Mixtec, and the Chichimec peoples, among others.
In teams of 3, investigate about one of the pre-hispanic cultures already mentioned. Create a time line
showing all of its development since it first started until it disappeared. Include images and sentences in
the simple past tense and past progressive. Make sure your time line is big enough for your classmates to
see. Then, present it in front of the class.

The World in One Neighborhood

Scan the article. Then, check () the countries that are not mentioned.

 Brazil  China  India Japan  Pakistan Romania Thailand

1. The sidewalks are crowded with Indian women in colorful traditional dresses. A woman on the corner
is selling Chinese cakes. A new song from a Romanian band is playing in a restaurant. Is it China? India?
Romania? No, it’s Astoria, a neighborhood in Queens, New York City. Astoria was once a mostly Greek
neighborhood, but the area is changing fast. New residents from India, Pakistan, Thailand, China, and
all over the United States are moving in.

2. The new residents bring many traditions. These traditions blend together to make Astoria truly
multicultural. “When people are surrounded by different cultures, they adopt the things that they
like”, says one resident. “Here in Astoria, it isn’t surprising that an Indian woman buys Mexican tortillas
from a Korean grocery store. It’s one of the things that makes the neighborhood special.”
3. It isn’t surprising that Astoria is becoming a very popular place to live. The rents are reasonable, the
neighborhood is safe, and it has a very good public transportation. There are inexpensive stores, many
nice restaurants, and good fresh fruit and vegetable markets. And Astoria is a comfortable place to
live. Apartments are usually big and roomy. As one long-time resident says, “Why live anywhere else?
Astoria has it all.”

Panic at Seville

94
INGLES III

It was the Holy Week of 2000. Processions commemorating Christ’s Passion were held in the central
streets of most of Spain’s cities and towns. These processions are planned to start late, start even
later than planned, and now have little spiritual significance, having become largely tourist attractions.
Seville’s processions are probably the most famous. In 1999, a Spanish film was released, “Nobody knows
Anybody”, which portrayed a group of young people causing some violent incidents during the Holy Week
processions there. That idea became reality around 5 o’clock on Good Friday morning when eight separate
incidents occurred during the processions, causing panic which led to quite a few people being injured.

Nobody seems able to describe exactly what happened; tales of frightening noises, gun shots and warnings
of people wielding knives were rather contradictory but they caused panic during which several people
were trampled on and others had attacks of hysteria: nearly sixty people required medical attention, three
being kept in hospital. The police chief must have seen “Casablanca” yet again and copied the order given
by Inspector Cloud Raines to “Round up the usual suspects” as a young delinquent was quickly arrested,
only to be released on Monday when it became obvious that that figure was hardly a Superman capable
of causing eight separate simultaneous incidents.

face down in a pile. Each student takes one on its turn and describe
the person, place, or thing on the card using a relative pronoun. (For
