Activities:
Ø Warm Up activity: Stick to the Status Quo
We will listen to the song Stick to the Status Quo from the film High School Musical. Once we have finished singing the song students should express their opinions about what they have seen in the video. To guide the activity we can propose some questions:
1.    How would you feel if you were one of this boys or girls judged by the others?
2.    Imagine that your friends tell you that you can’t do something because it is for boys, or because it is for girls, but you really like it a lot. What would you decide: to fight for your dream or give up?
   Time: 10 minutes
      Materials/Resources:  
-Storybook “Allie’s basketball dream”
-Computer
-Digital board
      Space: classroom
   Development: First of all, we will watch the video (meanwhile, students can sing and dance because they love to be active and it is profitable for them). Once we have finished with this, we will start a debate in order to help the students to develop their critical thinking and share ideas with the rest of their classmates.
Ø Activity 1: Show me your answers!
Present the book Allie’s basketball dream and tell the story.

   Time: 15 minutes
      Materials/Resources:
-Book Allie’s basketball dream
-Small white boards, markers
   Space: classroom
   Development:
  1. To introduce the story the teacher will show the cover of the book to the students and they will have to describe what they can see and what they think the story will be about. Also, to foster critical thinking the teacher may ask students to talk about the use of the word “dream” asking them if they think a dream can become a goal. What might they have to do to make that happen?
  2. The teacher gives each student a small dry erase board and a marker
  3. At strategic points during the story, the teacher will stop and ask a question.
  4. Students will have to write their answers on their dry erase board.
  5. Once the tale has finished, everyone will hold their boards in the air.

Examples of questions:
-In what ways are you like Allie?
-If this book were about you, what would be different about the dream and the way I pursued it?

Ø Activity 2: Mimics
Guess the mimic and give opinions about it.
   Time: 10 minutes
      Materials/Resources:  
-Papers with the actions that students have to represent
   Space: classroom
   Development: Students should form groups of 5 persons, each group will represent an action in front of the class and when they finish the rest of the pupils have to express their opinions about the action that they have represent (the actions will be written in small pieces of paper and it will be the random who chose the action for each group).

Ø Sum up - Calm down activity: Creating a mural Create a mural to combat bias.
   Time: 10 minutes
      Materials/Resources:  
-Colours
-Cardboards
-Stickers
-Continuous paper
   Space: classroom
   Development: Using the same groups formed in the last activity, students should create a slogan or sentence to combat bias and write it in a cardboard which also should decorate, because once they have finished all the slogans
will be hanged on the corridor of the school to celebrate the International
Women’s day.  
Attention to diversity: everybody will be able to do these activities because they are very visual, however if a foreign student has difficulties to understand something the teacher has to explain it through mimic or other student can help him/her.
Assessment: we will use a rubric with questions to evaluate the lesson.
YES
NO
OBSERVATIONS
Have students learnt the importance of respect everybody?
Have we promoted critical thinking?
Have new technologies been effective to teach students?
Have students enjoyed the activities?
-Other observations: in this part, the teacher can take notes about students’ attitude, self-assessment, etc.




Alice in Wonderland

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?'

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled 'ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
