From everyone here at Richmond we would like to help you, if you
so wish, to integrate the most innovative methodologies into your
English classroom in a simple yet structured, step-by-step way.
The GO Innovate! Teacher’s Guide is an excellent tool for teachers to apply the emerging
learning trends to their teaching with GO! It also serves as a model for teachers to become
confident using the different methodologies, allowing them to work with any Richmond material
in an alternative way.
This fantastic optional resource contains four areas:
Flipped Learning Situation-based Learning
Cooperative Learning Thinking-based Learning
Each area is divided into two sections:
Getting started: First, you are presented Step-by-step lesson notes: Each area
with a clear comprehensive outline where also includes step-by-step guidance for

objectives, teaching sequences, as well as the children’s English learning along with
tips and ideas for introducing each of the the development of a wide variety of
methodologies in the ELT classroom. 21st century skills and competences.
All the proposals and strategies in this guide have been carefully adapted to both the
children’s English level as well as to their cognitive age level. The teaching suggestions evolve
over the 6 levels of GO!, adapting to what the children are able to do at every stage.
In the GO Innovate! Teacher’s Guide, the different methodologies occasionally blend

together as they cannot be approached as isolated teaching systems. Keep in mind the best
way to build effective and meaningful learning is to combine different methodologies in the
classroom. Comprehensive education should include a balanced dose of each. It is also very
important not to overuse them as the children will lose interest.

Different time requirements are set for each of the methodologies in GO!
Depending on the type of work suggested, the children’s age and their
English level restrictions, the time and preparation needed may vary.

WHAT IS COOPERATIVE LEARNING?

All teachers want to get the best from their students, to give lessons where the class learn the
course content and simultaneously have fun. They want to see the children leaving happily after having
shared great experiences together. And all this without losing control of the class! However, more and
more teachers are realising that the traditional model of teaching and learning that focuses solely on
the transmission of content is no longer valid. It is ever more necessary to prepare the children to solve
problems in an increasingly changing and complex world.
The children are used to having numerous stimuli in their daily lives, many more than teachers can
offer in the purely traditional teaching environment. Teachers need to find ways to hold the children’s
attention and increase their motivation for classroom activities. One effective way to do this is through
Cooperative Learning, since one of the best stimuli a child can find in the primary classroom is their
own classmates. Note that even though the children play together and interact in the classroom, they
do not arrive at school automatically knowing how to work cooperatively, they need to be taught and
trained how to do it. They have to develop the social skills necessary to produce cooperative results.
There is so much more to Cooperative Learning than putting the children into groups and asking
them to work together!
Cooperative Learning is a structured teaching method where the children carry out specific
tasks or activities, called cooperative structures, in small teams in which each member has
a specific role. The objective is that each team works together as a whole and celebrates
team rather than individual success.
COOPERATIVE LEARNING BASICS

The children need variety and regular changes of activity to keep them stimulated, so it is important
to combine whole class teaching with individual work and also teamwork. When working as a team,
the main thing is to encourage cooperation between the members so that both the team and the
individual succeed.
If the children are to work cooperatively, then lessons must be planned to include activities that
generate cooperative work. It is not necessary nor advisable to do these activities every day, but
frequently enough so that the children are trained properly and learn how to carry out each role.
Cooperative Learning means:
Working in small and varied base groups (teams).

Working towards the success of all team members.
Ensuring what benefits one team member, benefits all.
Celebrating success as a team, rather than as an individual.
Assessing the children’s performance according to pre-established goals.
5
Cooperative Learning Principles
Within Cooperative Learning there are five basic principles
that must interact together in order for this type of learning to happen:
Positive interdependence: This means that all the members of a team must work together
to complete a task. The teacher explains a clear task and a group goal. Team members
should understand that their own efforts benefit both themselves as well as the other
team members.
Individual responsibility: The team accepts the objectives and each member is responsible
for fulfilling their part, because if not, the whole team will be affected.
Simultaneous interaction: Team members work together at the same time on a task. This
promotes the success of others, makes the team share their resources, as well as help, support
and encourage each other. This important principle means that all the members of a team feel
supported, valued and respected by the rest.
Equal participation: Every child should have the opportunity and also be obliged to participate
on an equal basis. To ensure this, teachers have to give time for individual work, randomly
choose which team member gives the answer and guarantee that responsibilities and roles
change on a regular basis.
Group evaluation: To ensure that all team members are committed to the task and to
the success of all the members, a group evaluation is carried out instead of individual
evaluations. This type of evaluation aims to reward teamwork and cooperation and avoid
competitiveness. All aspects of teamwork, as well as the results themselves, are evaluated.
Team members must subsequently determine what actions are positive or negative and make
decisions about the behaviours they must modify or keep.
These five principles will ensure the correct development of the children’s social skills when using
Cooperative Learning in the classroom.
Benefits of Cooperative Learning

There are many benefits to applying Cooperative Learning to the classroom:
It develops positive attitudes towards learning.
It encourages interaction between the children, autonomy and interdependence; each child is
given a sense of responsibility with the role that they are assigned.
It promotes the integration of all the children, as it develops positive relationships.
It encourages respect, tolerance, flexibility and the ability to listen and give opinions.
It encourages the children to learn to share responsibilities, to organise and divide tasks, and
to carry out these tasks diligently in order to achieve a better outcome.
It allows the children to overcome any difficulties they may have through the support of the
members of their team, while at the same time it enhances the talent of each member.
It aims to solve conflicts that may arise in the classroom from a constructive viewpoint.
It improves the children’s academic performance and increases self-esteem and motivation.
It promotes the development of the children’s communication and social skills.

HOW TO GET STARTED
Classroom organisation
To work cooperatively, the classroom needs to be organised
in such a way that all the activities can be carried out easily.
Ideally, the school would agree that all the teachers of the key stage
should work cooperatively in order to maintain the classroom layout
throughout the day. However, if this is not the case, it is still possible
to incorporate Cooperative Learning into the English class.
The children need to learn to prepare the classroom, get themselves
into their teams and assume their roles before the lesson starts.
Table positions
When using Cooperative Learning in
the classroom, the children must be
seated so that they can easily interact
with their classmates. Depending
on the classroom furniture, we can
create various teams. If the desks are
individual, group them in fours. If the
tables are longer, they can be used for
different teams. If the classroom has
available floor space, the children can
sit with their team members in a square.
Class bonding
During the first few sessions, it is important for the children to feel comfortable and to do group
bonding activities. Even though the children probably know each other already, may they have not
worked in teams before or there may be new children in class. Some class bonding activities can be:
Two Truths and a Lie

Tell each child to think of two true facts about themselves and one lie. Invite the children to walk
around the room freely until you call out Stop! The children pair up with the person next to them.
Give them one minute to take turns to say their three sentences. The listener tries to identify the
other person’s lie. Play again several times so the children have a chance to speak to a variety
of classmates.
Catch the Egg
Divide the class into groups, they can be as large or small as necessary to suit your class. Give
each group the same materials, for example, a shoe box, newspaper, string, paper plates, etc.
The aim is for each team to build a device to catch an egg without it breaking when dropped from
high up. Give the teams a time limit and then test the egg catchers. It is a good idea to put down
plastic sheeting or newspaper below each one in case the egg breaks. Encourage them to be
positive about the other groups’ work. If an egg is too messy then you could use a small packet of
biscuits and insist no biscuits must break. The children can then eat the biscuits.
First Day of School Puzzle
Before class cut a large piece of card into puzzle shaped pieces so there is one per child.
Make sure you mark which is the back and the top of each piece. Tell the children to decorate
the front of their puzzle piece, they can add colours, pictures, photos and any information about
themselves that they want to share. When they have all finished, fit the puzzle back together as a
wall display. Explain that they all fit together as a class and every member is needed to make
a full picture.
7
Classroom rules
At the start of the year, it is important to establish some general classroom rules which will help with
classroom management and promote a good relationship between each member of the class. These
rules need to be agreed by the whole class. It is important that everyone is able to follow these
general rules in every class activity.
The rules should use simple language that the children can easily read and understand in order to be
able to follow them:

How to form Cooperative Learning teams

When forming teams for structured Cooperative Learning, there are certain criteria to follow
in order to create the most heterogeneous teams possible.
Ideally, teams should be made up of 4 members, but depending on the classroom furniture, space
and number of children, the teams could have 3 or 5 members.
When organising the children into teams, it is advisable to use the register and to classify the children
using symbols according to the following criteria:
Circle: The children with a good level of learning capable of helping others.
Square: The children with a medium level and able to perform the tasks independently.
Triangle: The children who need help in carrying out the activities.
When we have the list of children with the corresponding symbol, we can form the teams so that
there are two squares, a triangle and a circle in each one. It is necessary to take into account the
behaviour of the children and the relationships between them.
It is also important to balance girls and boys within the teams.
Other criteria can also be taken into consideration depending on the class. The important thing is that
each team represents as closely as possible the whole class.
The advantage of forming groups this way is that in each of the teams there are children who can help
or clarify ideas so it greatly facilitates the completion of activities and the consolidation of learning.
8
partner
When sitting the children in their teams, make sure that the triangle
and the circle are always diagonal so that, when doing pair activities,
the child in front of them or next to them is closer to their level.
facing partner
Now that the teams are formed, it is time to work on team bonding.
For this, each team is given an identity via a name. Ask the team to
choose a name for their team and create an identity card using the
Photocopiable material at the back of this guide. Encourage them to
design a logo for their team and draw it on their team identity card.
Once the teams have their identity card ready, they can display it in
the middle of their table.
Once the children are placed in their new team, they introduce themselves to their teammates and
can ask a round of questions to get to know each other better: favourite colour, favourite animal,
favourite film, etc.
After team bonding activities, it is time to work on the feeling of belonging. Ask each team to think
of a way to celebrate together, for example, giving a high five, a Mexican wave or hands in the middle
that they then raise together. They will do their special celebratory action whenever they do a task
correctly or when the teacher encourages them to do so, especially when they have completed a
Cooperative Learning structure.
After observing how each team works, it is possible to make small changes, though this should be
avoided. Normally the children will establish good relationships within their team and all teams should
work harmoniously in the classroom.
Ideally, keep the same teams for 5 to 7 weeks. When rearranging teams, keep in mind
the basic criteria, but now additionally make sure to mix the children so they do not stay
with the same teammates.
Number assignment
Give each team member a number which will help them to identify themselves. These numbers
will help with organising general class work as well as with Cooperative Learning structures.
Stick the numbers clockwise in the corner of each table so that each team has the same layout.
Cooperative Learning roles

Once the teams have been formed and each child has been assigned a number, each child needs to
be given a role within their team. There are five roles:
speaker
Encourages each team member to work and also speaks on behalf
of their team presenting the project or task to the class, talks with the
teacher and asks questions.
recorder
Collects, organises and explains any information the team is asked
for while they are carrying out a task. Writes everything down for the
group, records all data, makes sure everyone is doing their best and
helps to decide.
9
Materials manager
Collects and puts away all the necessary materials and ensures that
everything is tidy. Makes sure materials are treated well.
silence monitor
Controls the team’s noise levels ensuring it is appropriate for the task
they are doing. Makes sure the group is quiet.
time keeper
Keeps track of time and lets the team know how much time is left
to finish the activity. Uses a watch or a sand timer to display the time
given for the activity.
If the teams have 4 members as indicated, roles can be merged. Ideally, the role of the Silence
Monitor can be carried out by one of the other roles. If some teams have more than 5 members then
repeat the roles, for example, have 2 Materials Managers or 2 Silence Monitors.
Change the roles regularly. It is recommended to keep the same roles during the
time that the teams are together, in order to train them how the role works. When the
new teams are formed, the children then change to a new role. After some time using
Cooperative Learning, the roles can be changed every week. This way, the children
have a new role within their team and this increases their motivation, concentration
and their dedication.
Establishing roles within a team also helps with classroom organisation:

It encourages the children to get involved with managing the classroom.
It helps the children develop social skills linked to teamwork.
It provides opportunities to participate for every member of every team.
It improves the teaching-learning process to the extent that work is more effective.
Set the class for Cooperative Work

The ideal scenario is that the teams stay together throughout the whole school day. However,
if this is not the case, the children need to be trained to get ready for cooperative work in the quickest
time possible: The Materials Managers need to show their team identity card on their table and
the children have to get organised according to the plan displayed on the Classroom Management
1
poster on the Teacher’s i-solutions . On this poster, the team member numbers and the roles they
have to carry out are clearly displayed.

If no projector or IWB are available, it is possible to make a poster which meets the same objective.
10
EVALUATION OF COOPERATIVE TEAMWORK
Evaluation is a key stage in every learning process so it is important to evaluate how the children
work together as a team. The evaluation of cooperative work benefits learning at both the individual
and group level.
In order to carry out an effective evaluation of teamwork, the teams need to be together for at least
5 to 7 weeks.
The GO Innovate! Teacher’s Guide includes what they have in common for the evaluation, which
can be found as Photocopiable material at the back of this guide: The Team plan and Team
evaluation templates.
Team plan
The children have to be aware of what they have in common, so they clearly understand that
together they can learn more and learn better.
Filling out the Team plan template before the start of the cooperative work contributes to teamwork
planning. Once the children have finished the activity, it is then used as a tool to reflect and assess
whether the objectives in their original planning have been fulfilled and to what extent.
First, the children write their team name and the objectives they promise to fulfil as a team. The
template includes two basic objectives:
Progress in learning
Help each other
These are the basic goals that a team has to achieve. Progress in learning and the establishment of
mutual peer support are both vital in order that the various cooperative activities are carried out with
the greatest possible success.
Team Plan
In addition to the two basic objectives, the plan allows each team to add more objectives. The other
teamwork planning sheet
objectives can be directly related to the specific unit content or to teamwork skills.
Team name: Year:
Date: Class:

2 Help each other
Within the Team plan template, there are other sections to be filled out by the children. Each child
4
must write their name and the role that they have within their team, as well as their personal
commitment during the teamwork, and they must sign to officially agree to the commitment.

In the personal commitment section, the children must include what they promise to do when working

as a team. Some examples might be:
Help my teammates
957507_GI_p62_64.indd 63
Take turns to speak 1/7/19 10:30
Get on with my teammates Use my best handwriting
These commitments are important because each child indicates here in what areas they can improve.
Later, when they carry out the evaluation, they have to check to what degree they have achieved
their commitment. These promises are personal so each child has to think about how they can
improve their own daily work.
Team evaluation
Once the Cooperative Learning structure for the unit has been completed, it is time to evaluate
the new learning and the teamwork. To get the children to reflect upon their learning and their
involvement in teamwork, they need to do a teacher-guided assessment in order to achieve a more
objective perspective towards team evaluation and self-evaluation. Use the Photocopiable material
at the back of this guide to carry out the team evaluation in your classroom.
The Team evaluation template in GO! should be used as follows:
The children write their team name and the date.
A team appraisal is made, with the teacher as a guide, to reflect on what they have learnt
and how. This is the assessment team evaluanew

Within the Team evaluation template, the team members assess the achievement of the objectives

COOPERATIVE LEARNING IN GO!
The Cooperative Learning structures proposed in GO! have been carefully adapted to the primary
age group and are distributed into six levels depending on the difficulty and the content being
covered. These suggestions are optional and are offered as an alternative or as a supplement to
the methodology in the Teacher’s Book.
In GO Innovate! Teacher’s Guide 6, there is a structure of cooperative work per unit, with detailed
instructions of the steps to follow and the necessary material. Each structure includes both Language
objectives and Cooperative goals to clearly highlight the children’s English learning along with the
development of their social skills.
The use of Cooperative Learning structures in the classroom should not mean extra work for
the teacher. It is true it will take a while to train the children to follow the work dynamics at the
beginning but, as the children work with the proposed structures, they also develop the strategies of
Cooperative Learning which they will apply to their work with different or more complex Cooperative
Learning structures in the future.
Cooperative Learning structures used in GO! 6

flipped Learning
Get t ing started
Don’t just flip your class,

transform it!
WHAT IS FLIPPED LEARNING?
Aaron Sams and John Bergman, two high school teachers in
the US, are the drivers and creators of this organisational system. Flipped Learning is not a
methodology but a work dynamic. Its use in the classroom creates a new environment open to
creative methodologies and a teaching-learning process more akin to 21st century needs.
The system originally emerged as a response to the needs of students who could not attend class.
Their teachers sent them informative videos so that they did not fall behind in their studies. Little
by little, teachers discovered the benefits and possibilities offered by this system of work and it was
gradually perfected and extended.
Education today faces new challenges as our students, citizens of the 21st century, require a
different type of teaching. Thanks mainly to the internet, students today can easily access
educational content, and because of this, the teacher’s role is no longer merely to transmit content
but to be a guide in the education process.
The teachers should stir the children’s curiosity for learning and help them develop skills that allow
them to become more autonomous learners. This can be done gradually from a very young age.
A great way to achieve these goals is through Flipped Learning. Learning is flipped because there is
a change to the order in which new material is presented, the type of classroom activities carried out
and the type of tasks assigned as homework. Traditionally, teaching has been based on the explanation
of material by a teacher in front of their students who then had to apply that information to class work or
homework. Flipped Learning reverses this order to get the most out of the time in the classroom.
Thus, one of the most relevant aspects of Flipped Learning is that it allows time in the classroom
to work on more complex skills and mental processes related to know-how, facilitating meaningful
learning.

Bloom’s Taxonomy and Flipped Learning
22
GO! has a multitude of resources that favour the use of Flipped Learning. These resources
can be used to promote a change in the English classroom in order to motivate the children
and make them more participative and responsible in their own learning progress.
The concept and development of Flipped Learning dynamics in GO! has been carefully adapted to
the children’s English level as well as their cognitive age level. For this reason, the suggestions evolve
over the 6 levels, adapting to what the children are able to do at every stage.
There is a Flipped Learning dynamic for every unit in GO! This dynamic anticipates the content of
the next lesson. Anticipating the lesson content beforehand encourages meta-learning and helps the
children to be aware of what will happen in the classroom later. This awareness brings them more
security and confidence.
Each dynamic suggested on the following pages includes detailed instructions on the
steps to be taken, both at home and in class, as well as the complete list of materials Flipped
needed. Each dynamic also includes the Language objectives and a section called Learning dynamics
Why flip this lesson. This section highlights the children’s English learning along suggested in this guide

with the opportunities Flipped Learning offers to develop other aspects of the proposals in
children’s learning process. Extra suggestions to introduce the work with additional GO! 6 Teacher’s Book
for the selected
GO! components and games are also provided in each dynamic. lessons.
FLIPPED LEARNING DYNAMICS IN GO! 6

Flipped Learning in GO! 6 is always located in Lesson 3 to anticipate and facilitate the presentation
of the key grammar structure(s) of each unit.
The key grammar structure is introduced by watching the Grammar-in-context video and the Grammar
presentations from Lesson 3 at home before the start of the lesson. The videos are available for the
children on the course website: www.go.richmonddigital.net
The website access code for the children is included in the Student’s Book. Make sure all
the children have access to a computer or mobile device with internet connection.
The Grammar presentations should be watched at least 3 times:

1 A first time where the video is played all the way through.
2 A second time stopping at moments of interest.
3 A third time to check that the content has been understood or to write down questions
to take to class. This time it is also played without stopping and children should be
encouraged to practise the pronunciation and intonation of questions and statements.
As well as watching the videos, there is a video-related activity that must be completed before returning
to class. These Flipped worksheets are available both as Photocopiable material at the back of this
guide and on the course website.
Once in the classroom, the first activity of the unit will be to carry out the GO Check! activity.
This consists of checking that the videos have been watched, the task completed and the content
understood. This activity usually practises speaking skills.
After this starter activity has been completed, the new content is then used in more complex and
active tasks during the rest of the class session.
23
FLIPPED LEARNING BENEFITS IN GO! 6
There are many benefits to introducing the key grammar with videos and some simple tasks before
the class session:
Competences dimension
It anticipates the grammar context for the children and ensures that each child can work at their
own pace to get ready for the class session.
It develops the audiovisual language and the Digital competence of the children.
It works as an initial evaluation of the children’s understanding of grammar in an autonomous way.
It promotes the development of the children’s Learning to learn competence.
Methodological and pedagogical dimension

It allows the teachers to save class time and thus significantly increases the opportunities to
complete more activities and reinforce the key content in the classroom.
It maximises the use of the course resources.
It allows multidimensional work through video images, audio and rhythms to encourage the
children’s comprehension and memory.
It allows the teacher to include a wider diversity of tasks that promote different thinking skills
and richer access to learning.
Emotional dimension
It gives the family a more active role in their child’s learning.
It personalises learning so that each child can access the new content as often as needed
without restriction.
It provides a space for work on content and pronunciation in a climate of safety and trust.
How to get started: Home-school connection

Using Flipped Learning involves a commitment to work between students and teachers, each one
accepting their role and responsibility. It is advisable that the starting point, before beginning to
use the dynamics of Flipped Learning in GO!, be to organise a meeting with the families to inform
them about this system of work. It is very important that they understand the benefits that Flipped
Learning brings to their children’s global learning process. If there is no possibility of bringing families
together, the teacher can make a video for the families where all this information is explained.
Step-by-step Key Information

In order to work with Flipped Learning dynamics, all the children need to have access to a
computer or mobile device, and internet connection at home.
Before the start of Lesson 3 in each unit, the children take home a task: This Flipped task
is easy to do and does not need parents or carers to have any great knowledge of the English
language nor to monitor the children’s work. The task is explained in advance in class, to
make the children participant and autonomous. The explanation will also be delivered on
a printed worksheet (see Photocopiable Flipped worksheets at the back of this guide).
The instructions on how to complete the Flipped task are also available for the children on
the course website.
24
Flipped task: The task, at home, is to be done in 3 steps:
STEP 1: The children watch the videos before the start of the grammar lesson.
The videos are available on the course website www.go.richmonddigital.net
in a section called Flipped Learning. Explain to the children that they have to register
on the website using the website access code included in the Student’s Book.
The videos can be viewed from any device, whether computer, mobile or tablet.
There are two types of videos:

Grammar-in-context videos: First, the children watch the video
for the unit once so they can have the context for the task. The videos
are short and fun and therefore easily hold the children’s attention.
Grammar presentations: Then they watch the grammar presentation(s)
for the lesson. Viewing is recommended on at least 3 occasions:
• First viewing: Watch the presentation all the way through
without stopping.
• Second viewing: Stop the presentation several times in order
to focus on the most important aspects.
• Third viewing: Watch without stopping while trying to practise the
pronunciation and intonation of questions and statements.
The grammar presentations provide very clear step-by-step explanations for all the grammar
rules covered in GO! to make sure the children can work in an autonomous way. This
approach to learning grammar is a challenge for the children and keeps them motivated.
If there are children who need to watch the presentation more than 3 times, encourage them
to do so. The important thing is that each child can work at their own pace and come to
the class prepared. This system of work adapts to the learning process of each child.
STEP 2: The children complete the Flipped worksheet that was given out in the
previous class to check their understanding of the grammar rule shown in the videos.
These worksheets are also available on the course website.
STEP 3: The children watch the Grammar-in-context video again to consolidate the
grammar rule in context in an amusing way.
GO Check! activity: The Flipped worksheet must be returned to the classroom so the teacher
can check that the task has been completed. The children also use the completed Flipped
worksheets to participate in the starter activities of the lesson.
In order to help the teachers in this first phase of explaining the system of work to the children and
their families, this guide includes a Photocopiable Flipped Learning visual guide that can be sent
to the families or given out during the setup meeting. The Flipped Learning visual guide is also
available on the course website.

THINKING-BASED LEARNING
Get t ing started
Make Thinking visible,

Efficient, critical and creative thinkers, GO places!
WHAT IS THINKING-BASED LEARNING?

Thinking-based Learning is a methodology in which strategies that promote the development of
effective thinking are integrated systematically and focus on the cognitive processes that help us to
think. Thanks to Thinking-based Learning, the children develop their thinking skills from a young age;
they learn to come to their own conclusions and finally, to make their own decisions.
The way to achieve this goal is through the use of Thinking Tools, which consist of a series of
questions and rubrics to practise with the children in order to stimulate different mental habits like
curiosity, deep understanding, evidence-based argument, reflection and creativity.
Thinking Tools prepare the children to be ‘good thinkers’ who are able make good
decisions and solve problems effectively. They also help the children to use and evaluate
information without rushing as well as to develop their critical and creative thinking.
These Thinking tools are easy to use in the classroom and help the children to exert greater control
over their cognition, by making them aware of their thinking processes, and so obtaining a greater
autonomy in their learning.
All the Thinking Tools share the following features:
They are aimed at stimulating different mental habits.

They allow reflection through metacognitive work.
They can be used systematically in the classroom.
They are easy to learn and teach.
They can be used individually and collectively.
They are accompanied by graphic organisers in which the children express
and make their thinking visible. When a thinking routine has been internalised,
the graphic organisers no longer need to be used.

BENEFITS OF THINKING-BASED LEARNING
There are many benefits to integrating Thinking-based Learning
into the classroom. Learning to think helps to:
Make the process of thinking visible, through monitoring

our reasoning and learning to be aware of how we think.
Encourage reflective learning and not just learning by rote
therefore increasing the motivation to learn.
Stimulate a deeper understanding of the content that we
are learning without adding extra material.
Develop the children’s thinking skills so they become creative,
analytical and critical thinkers.
Get to know and work with a series of learning tools that supplement the
more traditional techniques, like outline, summary and mind map.
Develop cognitive flexibility and the capacity to explore diverse perspectives
by stimulating the ability to generate multiple options to solve a problem.
Reinforce the desire to understand things clearly, looking for connections and explanations,
focusing attention and seeking to process information in a certain way.
Establish focus, check impulsiveness and reduce rash behaviour,
thanks to the sequenced use of graphic organisers.
HOW TO TEACH THINKING IN THE CLASSROOM

In order to use specific strategies which will stimulate the children to think with
greater depth and autonomy, the following conditions need to be taken into account:
Reward or reinforce when the children ask questions

Teachers have a general tendency to reward only the right answers. For example:
Teacher: What are the parts of the house?
Children: Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedrooms...
Teacher: Very good!
However, from the perspective of learning to think, we should also reward the children who ask questions.
Use expressions such as Great question! I love the question you’ve asked! Interesting question! to
promote the idea that asking questions is important when a thinking process is carried out.
Use Thinking language in the classroom

Vague language is a reflection of vague thinking. However, using thinking language in class helps
the children to organise and communicate their own thinking with greater precision and intelligence.
Words are precision instruments.
Try to use language that puts thinking at the centre of the activity. If teaching, for example, domestic
and wild animals, in addition to the definition also encourage the children to:
Observe images to detect similarities and differences.

Visualise a scene.
Develop hypotheses.
Check ideas and discuss them.
The use of the vocabulary in bold above helps make thinking processes systematic.
33
It is also important to make this type of language
visible in class. Use the Thinking Language
poster available on the Teacher’s i-solutions
or use the Photocopiable Thinking Language
page at the back of this guide and give
a copy to each child.
Allow time for Thinking in class

It is essential to provide the children with specific time for thinking and also enough time so they
can discuss their individual differences. Organise, therefore, specific times so that they can think
and make sure the time frames are adapted to the diversity in the classroom.
Clapping is a good way to establish the time frame for each step when a thinking routine is carried
out. Also remind the children regularly how much time is left to finish each step as they do not yet
have a developed sense of timing.
Create a classroom climate that encourages reflection

As well as providing time for thinking, it is also important to create the right climate in the classroom to
allow for reflection. The most appropriate environment is silence so that each child can clarify what
their thought, idea or conclusion is on the topic. Then, as the perspective of others is incorporated
(working in pairs or large groups), that silence can be broken.
Depending on the type of work to be carried out, different thinking climates can be promoted:
Individual thinking: This should be done in silence so each child learns to develop
an inner dialogue.
Thinking in pairs: This should be a quiet conversation, so that the comments of others
do not interrupt the thinking processes of the ‘thinking’ pairs.
Thinking in a large group: The children should take turns, be active listeners and
be able to paraphrase what their classmates say. Encourage them to add more details
little by little that help them to complete their reflections.
Classroom organisation
Likewise, depending on the activity, the Thinking tool to be used or the thinking climate to be
promoted, the classroom can be set up in different ways:
Individual setting: This is Pair setting: Our thinking Group setting: When
good for a few minutes of is usually enriched by listening to other people’s

is important to generate
controlled thinking flows
(no more than two or three
children), so that they can
broaden their perspective.
34
The reflective teacher: Be the role model of a good thinker
Do not forget your important role as a mediator of the children’s thinking process. You are a thinking
role model for the children, so it is important to keep the following in mind:
Be a model of reflective behaviour showing the importance of asking about everything,
of questioning things, and showing flexibility and cognitive openness.
Listen to other people’s opinions, consider all points of view as initially valid and equally
important.
Show a positive attitude towards new ideas and an interest in expanding experiences.
Encourage discussions to be supported by facts.
Be prepared to change your views when facts prove them wrong. Model the capacity
to change one’s perspective.
Evaluate the type of questions you ask in class as they will mainly be the questions that
the children will learn. Are the questions checking what the children have learnt? Are you
asking questions which activate the children’s thinking process? Are you asking closed-answer
questions? Are you asking open questions?
Establish bridges with other areas or experiences

Ask open questions and encourage the children to extend their knowledge to other areas or
experiences. Invite them to question their answers, paraphrase their thinking and get them to work
together to construct shared thoughts.
THINKING-BASED LEARNING IN GO!

The main goal of using Thinking-based Learning strategies in GO! is to prepare the children to think
effectively so they can solve different problems in very varied contexts. Sometimes they will need to
be critical and analytical, at other times they will need to be creative. All this is done throughout their
English learning process using GO! materials. In this guide, thinking is considered to be a set of skills
that can be developed and improved by systematic practice in appropriate situations. The goal of
thinking in GO! is to help you build a culture of thinking in the ELT classroom and to train the children
in the following types of thinking:
Analytical Thinking: Bringing facts and data together from various sources and then applying
logic and knowledge to solve problems or to make informed decisions. It is the kind of thinking
that helps to ‘frame’ or ‘grid’ reality, to analyse it and think it through better.
Critical Thinking: Analysing and evaluating information, beliefs, or knowledge on which our
ideas are based to reach a reasonable and justified position on a subject.
Creative Thinking: Adopting multiple perspectives and examining other points of view to
generate new ideas and possibilities.
Emotional Thinking: Analysing and exploring feelings regarding an idea, situation, experience
or belief to understand how feelings may interfere with our perception of reality. It also helps
to develop empathy skills.
GO! offers a program of Thinking strategies integrated into the course content. All the strategies have
been carefully adapted to the children’s English level as well as to the age-appropriate cognitive skills
of each of the primary levels. The use of the different Thinking tools and routines is combined across
GO! levels, introducing new ones or adapting existing ones, to meet both the Language objectives and
the Thinking goals that correspond to the children’s maturity. Note that the same tools and routines can
be used several times in the same level, and are repeated across levels, to guarantee that the children
incorporate the thinking strategies as an automatic process for future learning experiences.
35
Thinking tools used in GO! 6
Each Thinking tool suggested on the following pages includes detailed instructions of the steps
to follow as well as a complete list of the material needed. Also included are both the Language
objectives and a section called Thinking goals to clearly highlight both the children’s English learning
along with the type of thinking they will be developing. The Model Language needed to do the
Thinking routines successfully is also provided. This language does not go beyond the language level
of GO!, but it is important to take it into account as it helps guide the activities.

Thinking tools general description and tips

think-puzzle-explore
This Thinking tool helps the children to explore a new topic or idea. It encourages the children to
verbalise their prior knowledge, to stimulate curiosity and to prepare for independent inquiry. It
engages them with the new topic and activates schemata. It also develops the Learning to learn
competence through independent strategies for discovery and research.
How Think-Puzzle-Explore is used in GO!

We propose the use of this Thinking tool at the beginning of a new lesson as a warmer activity to
generate interest in the new topic and motivate the children by encouraging them to develop their
own questions for investigation and the strategies to look for the answers. It can also be used again
further on in the unit to encourage the children to use the strategies listed to look for the answers to
their questions which initiates inquiry learning.
Tips The first times this routine is carried out, the teacher will be a model for the children.
Make sure to give adequate time between each question for the children to think
about and articulate their ideas.
The completed Class origaniser can be printed and posted on the classroom wall or
uploaded as an image to the class blog for future reference.
As a follow-up activity, the children write full sentences in their notebooks using the
visual information and notes on the Class organiser.
Make the children aware of the advantages of using this routine when they are
starting a topic of study so they can gradually incorporate this learning strategy for
any new content autonomously.
green Thinking Hat

Green Thinking Hat is our suggestion to adapt the Thinking tool Six Thinking Hats by Edward Bono
for children learning English with GO! The goal of this Thinking tool in GO! 6 is to stimulate creative
thinking and imagination as for most children, the language of imagination and creative thinking is
well known, easy and fun.
36
Tips The first time this routine is used in class, the children can make a green hat
and decorate it. They keep it and wear it every time the routine is carried out.
Alternatively, ask them to bring a green hat from home.
Clapping is a good way to establish the time frame for each step of the routine.
Also remind the children regularly how much time is left to finish each step.
Fast finishers can look at their pictures and write the words they know in English
on their Thinking organisers. This can also be set as homework.
The completed Thinking organisers can be displayed on the classroom walls or

How the Six Thinking Hats are used in GO!

Throughout GO! levels, we gradually introduce the work with the different hats, always taking into
account the children’s capacity to express themselves in English, as well as their age. The use of the six
hats together facilitates decision making and the analysis of problems from different points of view.
The Green Thinking Hat tries to stimulate The White Thinking Hat practises objective

zoom in
This Thinking tool consists of covering photos or images related to the topic and then revealing them
little by little so that the children describe what they see and formulate hypothesis on what it might
be. As more parts of the image are shown, the children make new inferences about what might still
be hidden thus corroborating, refuting or discarding the previous hypothesis.
This Thinking tool helps to:
Teach children how to describe an image from observation.
Stimulate the children’s visual attention.
Practise hypothetical reasoning, making inferences and interpreting information.
Stimulate inductive reasoning (from the detail to the general).
Understand the relationship part-whole.
Observe-describe-express-connect.
Stimulate cognitive flexibility, as the children must change their original thoughts
based on new information.
Tips For further practice, use the Game Generator on the Teacher’s i-solutions
to play Guess it!

See-Think-Wonder
This Thinking tool encourages the children to make careful observations and thoughtful
interpretations. It helps to stimulate curiosity and provides learning strategies for inquiry. It can be
used to explore images, objects or topics. Use this tool when you want the children to think carefully
about something visual.
How See-Think-Wonder is used in GO!

The main goal of this Thinking tool in GO! is to teach the children to describe images from observation,
to think carefully about what they can infer about the images and what questions they may ask
themselves. This Thinking tool also helps to:
Engage the children with the lesson topic and activate schemata.
Make thoughtful interpretations.
Check children’s hastiness to speak before thinking.
Develop their ability to explore and create.
Tips The first two or three times this routine is carried out, be a model for the children
and guide all the answers providing examples. Once this routine has been carried
out several times in a guided way, the children can complete their own thinking
organisers in teams or individually.
This routine can be used at the beginning of a new unit to motivate interest in the
new topic or with an object or an image that connects to a topic during the unit. You
might also use the routine with an interesting object or image near the end of a unit to
encourage the children to further apply and extend their new vocabulary and ideas.
Make the children aware of the advantages of using this routine when they are asked
to talk about something in an oral assessment.
Compare and Contrast

This Thinking tool helps to analyse and clarify ideas. The child develops the skills needed to solve
problems, and to compare and contrast concepts thoughtfully, efficiently and with autonomy.
Naming similarities and differences is not enough to make a good comparison and contrast. Children
often note down the characteristics of the first element and then the second without comparing them
afterwards. With the Thinking tool we avoid this tendency and so the children learn to compare and
contrast efficiently. The Thinking tool helps to:
Analyse and clarify ideas. Summarise information keeping in mind the
Learn how to make a differential analysis. most important differences and similarities.
Broaden the children’s perspective Strengthen critical thinking.
by listening to the analysis and Compare and contrast efficiently.
contrasting of others. Deepen understanding of the concepts
under comparison
How Compare and Contrast is used in GO!
A Class organiser is used which guides the children in their analysis of two images or concepts
through questions: What can you see? How are they different/the same? What differences/similarities
are important? Afterwards, the class comments on the results of the analysis reflected in the
organisers. This stage promotes collaborative thought and helps to broaden perspectives, it is
important as all the children do the thinking, not just a few.
Tips The first two or three times this routine is carried out, be a model for the children
and guide all the answers providing examples. Once this routine has been carried
out several times in a guided way, the children can complete their own thinking
organisers in teams or individually.
The completed Thinking organiser can be posted on the classroom walls for
future reference.

mind map
This is a logical and creative way of organising information and expressing ideas that consists of
mapping your reflections on a topic. All Mind maps have a radial structure from a nucleus in which
lines, symbols, words, colours and images are used to illustrate simple concepts.
The objective of this Thinking tool is to represent knowledge graphically and visually. The key to
its efficiency is that it works like the radial thinking of our mind, using images and associations which
circle around a central idea. When we create a mind map, we place the main idea in the centre of a
piece of paper. Other themes, concepts or secondary ideas radiate from that central idea, adding
new information as well as developing and generating new ideas.
Mind maps help the children to:

Organise, structure, categorise and prioritise ideas, thus facilitating memory.
Establish connections between ideas, separating the important from the trivial.
Work at the cerebral level with multidimensional information (images, graphic resources
and colours), thus facilitating the planning and understanding of the information.
Understand the relationship part-whole.
We use Mind maps in GO! 6 because Mind maps connect better with the children as they
are used to working drawings, images and colours. On the other hand, the freedom that
Mind maps give, because they are not subject to hierarchical spatial restrictions (up-down,
right-left), makes it easier for the children who are still in the process of lateralisation and
dominance of their spatial capacities.
Tips Fast finishers can write the words under each of the pictures of their individual Mind
maps. This can also be set as homework.
If no IWB is available in the classroom, photos and post-it notes or small bits of paper
can be used to stick on a large piece of chart paper.

Handle Thinking-based Learning with care!

Keep in mind the best way to build effective and meaningful learning is to combine
different methodologies in the classroom. It is very important not to overuse the different
methodologies as the children will lose interest.

Si t ua t ion-Based Learning
Get t ing started
Give a girl a fish and you feed her for a day,

teach a girl to fish and you feed her for a lifetime.
Adapted from Maimonides
WHAT IS SITUATION-BASED LEARNING?

Situation-based Learning is a form of learning where the children’s previous knowledge and skills
are employed to solve real, everyday problems. To summarise Zabala and Arnau (2014), in order to
develop the children’s competences:
We need to integrate children’s knowledge and skills and implement certain values and
attitudes such as autonomy, responsibility and cooperation to practical situations.
We need to recur to these positive attitudes and values consistently in a variety of contexts
and at all times.
In practice, these two challenges imply that teachers need to offer the children a variety of everyday
situations and problems so they are provided with a more real and therefore more meaningful
learning experience and evaluation.
SITUATION-BASED LEARNING BASICS

For this type of learning to be effective, certain conditions should be in place:
The context must emulate situations that occur in the real world. This helps the children
percieve that classroom learning is useful and functional.
The children’s previous knowledge has to be the starting point for proposals to deal with
the suggested situations. This allows them to use what they already know and build upon
it with new learning.
The suggested situations should not be beyond the children’s comprehension abilities but
they must provide some cognitive challenge.
The learning processes the children use to work on the situations need to involve
metacognition tasks.
46
Benefits of Situation-based Learning
As well as providing comprehensive development of the capacities and abilities of the children,
the work from contextualised situations also offers the following benefits:
It develops analytical thinking, by having to identify the different elements proposed
in the statement and the challenge.
It develops critical thinking, based on the analysis of the situation.
It develops creative thinking, as the problem can be solved from different perspectives.
It promotes the transfer of learning from the classroom to different real-life situations.
It promotes a positive attitude and greater motivation towards learning.
It promotes linguistic competence and the transversal competences, such as learning
to learn and initiative and entrepreneurship.
It promotes the use of skills necessary for cooperative work: active listening, respect for others
and social skills among others.
The ultimate goal of Situation-based Learning is that the children have the opportunity to deal with
situations in the classroom that they can then apply to the real world.
USING SITUATION-BASED LEARNING IN THE ENGLISH CLASSROOM

Learning from real world contexts implies both a methodological change, as explained above, and
a change in the role of both teachers and students. These new roles must be shared and understood
by all.

SITUATION-BASED LEARNING IN GO!
Situation-based Learning in GO! provides different contextualised situations to those worked on in
the Student’s Book units. The aim is for the children to combine the new language they have learnt
and their previous knowledge to respond to these situations.
The contextualised situations in GO! have been carefully designed to adapt to the language level and
progression of the Student’s Book. This way the children can practise what they have learnt in the unit in
a new context and promote and achieve the transfer of knowlegde.
In GO Innovate! Teacher’s Guide 6, there is a Situation-based Learning proposal per unit. Although
the proposals are very well defined, teachers should adapt them to the context of the classroom,
resources available in the classroom and the children’s profiles.
Each situation should be approached following a series of steps. These steps, ideally, should come
from the children themselves, from either group or whole class brainstorming sessions. This provides
opportunities to self-regulate their own learning process, make decisions about their own learning
and become more autonomous.
Since this self-regulation process takes time to learn, the GO Innovate! Teacher’s Guide provide a
detailed sequence of steps so teachers can help the children if they cannot find a suitable route.
All the proposals in GO! follow the same structure:
Context: The starting point for what needs to be done. This context can
be read aloud by the teacher, by a child or it can be projected in the
Context classroom to be shared by the whole class. It is important that children
have the opportunity to read the context more than once. It will be more
interesting if the teacher contextualises it in the class environment.
Situation Situation to solve: The situation to be solved is usually presented in the

to solve form of a question that comes from the context.
Task: This is what the children are expected to do to respond to the

Task situation or problem posed.
Language Language and skills objectives: The specific objectives to be covered

and skills during the problem solving. They emphasise the competences to develop
objectives in the children.
Activate Activate previous knowledge: This is in the form of a list of questions that
previous the children should be asked in order to identify what they already know
knowledge about the suggested situation.
Resources Resources and materials: The list of materials needed in order to solve
and the situation as it is proposed.
materials
Steps: A detailed plan which can be used for reference. These steps
are merely a suggestion and can be adapted to each classroom. If time
Steps allows, it is a good idea for the children to suggest the necessary steps
themselves.
48
The steps for solving the situations also follow the same general structure, so the children can
internalise the problem-solving methods. Each step includes the approximate time needed to
complete it:
1 Present the context to the children and the situation to be solved to encourage a discussion
about what should be taken into account to deal with the situation.
2 Explain the task and the objectives, as well as the time available to resolve it.
3 Activate the children’s previous knowledge.
4 Group the children into cooperative teams to carry out the task following the steps provided.
Alternatively, the children can be asked to suggest the necessary steps.
5 Check that each team is working well and guide those teams that need help.
6 Once the teamwork is finished, suggest a peer-evaluation task so that the teams can
review and evaluate the work done by other groups.
7 Each team presents a summary of their work to the rest of the teams.
8 Finally, the children carry out a self-assessment individually to reflect on what they have
learnt.

Use this situation
situation-based Learning as a consolidation
activity for the unit.
who is who in school?
context
Names are important. Some names have connotations. The name Einstein suggests intelligence. Names are so important to
some people that they donate money in order for a building to carry their name. Communities can honour someone by naming
an airport, a stadium or a train station in their name. It is good to know the names of everyone around you and a little bit about
them. We all feel more valued when people take the time to know us a little and to know our name.
situation to solve
How can we help the people who work in our school feel valued and simultaneously help someone new to the school who
knows no one who works here?
task
To elaborate an interview for staff members to get to know them and what they do, a little better.
Language and skills ob ectives

To review vocabulary and structures from Unit 1.
To talk about different places in school and what happens there and who works there.
To write short interviews.
To work in teams to solve the situation.

unit review
Steps 165’
5’ 1
Display the photo to the class on the Teacher’s i-solutions to present the context and the situation to be
solved. Hand out a copy of the organiser to each child.
5’ 2
Ask the children to fill in the Previous knowledge section of the organiser individually. Here they should include
any knowledge they have that they consider useful to help solve the situation. At this stage, all answers are valid.
10’ 3
Begin a whole class discussion so the children can share the information they have written. Direct the discussion
using the question suggested on the previous page in order to identify the school staff.
10’ 4
Introduce the task to the children and ask them to fill in the Task ideas section in the organiser. They can draw,
describe or write ideas as they think of them, without any specific order. Individually, each child should imagine
what the outcome of the task will be and start thinking about which staff members should be included.
5’ 5
Explain the steps to follow from this point on so the children can suggest possible alternative ways to approach
the task.
10’ 6
Divide the children into small teams, maximum four members per team, to work together throughout the entire
activity. Ask them to fill in the My Team section.
30’ 7
Ask the children to share the information they have written in the Task ideas section with their teammates.
10’ 8
Then the teams decide together who to interview and what questions to ask. Discuss the appropriacy of the
interview questions with them. Have them consider if there are any excessively personal questions.
10’ 9
The children prepare their interviews. It would be useful to consult the Vocabulary lesson in the Student’s Book,
page 8.
15’ 10
Suggest a peer evaluation between the various teams as they work. The teams swap their interviews in order to
check them and suggest improvements. They decide together which teams are to interview which staff members.
20’ 11
The teams finish their interviews. Then each child fills in the New learning summary section in the organiser
individually. This can be shared with the team in order to create an explanation that summarises the work they
have done together.
25’ 12 Each team gives a presentation of their work to explain the outcome of their task.
10’ 13
Finally, the children fill in the Self-assessment section in the organiser individually.
TIP
It might be a good idea to sound out staff members ahead of time to identify if there are any who would rather not be involved.
Also, see if any would be comfortable with being interviewed in English.

2 Food for friends
Use this situation
What would you like to eat?
context
Modern life is so fast these days that we don’t have a lot of time to spend on important things like food. It is well documented
that we eat too much processed and fast food. But we also have a tendency to eat the same dishes over and over again. One
of the marvels of modern life is being able to access information about what people eat in other countries and learn recipes
for them.
situation to solve
How can we introduce a little change in our diet, make it healthier and vary the food we eat? How can we celebrate diversity in
this sense?
task
To create a small recipe booklet with dishes from a variety of countries. All ingredients must be accessible.

To review vocabulary and structures from Unit 2.
To reach agreement on an international recipe selection.
To write short recipe texts.

30’ 8
The teams prepare their recipe booklet. Each team must search the best recipe for an accessible dish they have
chosen. It must be accessible insofar as the availability of ingredients and the ease of the steps required to carry
out the recipe. It would be useful to consult the Grammar and Speaking lesson in the Student’s Book, page 20
to practise asking questions about the recipes and their ingredients.
10’ 9 Suggest a peer evaluation between the various teams as they work. The teams swap their recipes in order to
check them and suggest improvements.
20’ 10
The teams work together in order to combine the recipes into a small photocopiable booklet format.
20’ 11
The teams finish their recipe booklets. Then each child fills in the New learning summary section in the organiser
individually. This can then be shared with the team in order to create an explanation that summarises the work
they have done together.
25’ 12
Each team gives a presentation of their work to explain the outcome of the task.

3 World records
Use this situation
our school records
context
The Guinness World Records has many different categories: size of buildings, size of people, speeds reached, hours danced,
size of food etc. Would it be possible to create a similar book, but with the records of the school, for example: longest corridor,
smallest room, person who has worked here the longest…
situation to solve
How can we make a book to show school records? We have talked about different world records in the unit so we can apply
the same concept to our surroundings.
task
To make a School Records Book without having to hold any competitions.

To use the superlative form of adjectives to talk about school records.
To plan suitable short oral texts.

For example, the longest corridor, the person who worked here the longest, the biggest floor, the room with the
most chairs.
15’ 9 The children share the information and agree on at least two categories, make sure that no record is repeated.
Then they agree on a set writing model for the book which covers the information they will need to write. The
writing model should include at least:
The title of the record
The category
A short description of the record
An image
25’ 10
Ask the teams to anticipate information about the person, place or thing which fulfils the records for their two
categories. Being inside the classroom, at this point they can make educated guesses. Do encourage them to
investigate these educated guesses during break and that they be able to report on any discrepancy when they
share their experience of the project with their classmates later. It would be useful to consult the Writing lesson in
the Student’s Book, page 35.
15’ 11
Suggest a peer evaluation between the various teams as they work. The teams swap their texts in order to check
them and suggest improvements.

Flipped Learning is a system of work that proposes
a change to the order in which new material is
presented, the type of activities carried out in the
classroom and the type of tasks assigned as homework.
Traditionally, teaching has been based on the explanation of material by a teacher in front
of children who subsequently had to apply that information to class work or homework.
