Task: Make a model of a festival float. Prepare the materials needed and follow the steps to make it.
Culture link: Many festival celebrations around the world cannot do without parade floats. Dancers and bands perform on the decorated floats. Floats can be for a big event or for a small community event. Floats usually have a theme.
To make a model festival float, you need: a rectangular cardboard box for the base of your model float, some decorative paper, paint, glue, scissors, decorations like beads, feathers, and buttons. You can think about other things you need!
Develop a plan for your float. Discuss the questions with your group members:
What festival is the float for
What will be the theme
What colours will you use
What things will you include
Use the cardboard box as the base for the float. Decorate it and stick the parts together.
Add details to your float with decorations to match the theme of the festival. The more details you add, the more interesting it will become.
Now you can have fun and show your model float to your classmates!
In class, introduce your model float to other groups.

III. Teaching Procedures
Step 1 Introduce Festival Floats and Project (10 minutes)
Show pictures of real festival floats (parade floats with dancers, bands). Explain the culture link: festival celebrations often use parade floats. Then introduce the project: make a model festival float. Discuss what materials are needed (cardboard box, decorative paper, etc.) and write them on the board.
Step 2 Group Planning (20 minutes)
In groups, students discuss float plans using the questions: What festival is the float for What’s the theme What colours to use What to include Use useful expressions like “Our goal is to...”, “What do you think about... ”. Walk around to help with English discussions and ensure clear planning.
Step 3 Make the Float Model (30 minutes)
Groups use materials to make the float: use the cardboard box as the base, decorate with paper, paint, and add details (beads, feathers). Members give instructions like “Let’s stick this here.” “Can you cut this paper, please ”. Observe and assist with crafting and English instructions.
Step 4 Show and Introduce Floats (20 minutes)
Groups show their floats to classmates. Then each group introduces their float to other groups, using the example: “Look at this beautiful festival float... Our model celebrates [festival]. The theme is [theme]... Look, there is a [detail]...”. Classmates ask questions, and groups respond.
IV. Assessment
Collaboration: Observe how well groups plan, share tasks, and work together to make the float.
Float Creation: Evaluate if groups follow steps, decorate creatively, and match the theme.
English Usage: Assess the accuracy and fluency of English in planning discussions, giving instructions, and introducing the float.
Cultural Understanding: Check if groups can explain the festival and theme clearly in their introduction.
V. Homework
Write a short description of your group's festival float, including the festival, theme, and key details.
Research another festival float from a different culture and share it in the next class.
VI. Teaching Reflection
Students were excited to make the float and collaborate. Group discussions and introductions showed good English use. However, some groups struggled to explain the festival theme deeply in introductions. In future, more practice on cultural explanation language will be provided.
