Create a Gangster - Multicompetency Project

This project is done in 4 parts and has been created for Grade 5 or grade 6 ESL students.

You must have reviewed the following notions before doing the project:

• Body parts vocabulary
• Clothes vocabulary
• Sentence structure
• Articles
• Position of adjectives (before the noun)
• plurals of nouns
• Simple present affirmative and the verb To be
• Explanation of non-binary pronouns use

Part 1: Wanted (C3 - Writing) - 2-3 periods

Students have to write a description of a gangster and draw him/her on the wanted poster. Print the Poster pages at the end of the document on a one-sided white sheet.

Part 2: - Wanted Poster of my classmates gangster (C2 – Understanding) - 1 period

They receive a description from a fellow classmate, and they have to draw the wanted poster You can have them write their corrected description in Microsoft Word to practice Digital citizenship and omit the name. It’s easier for students to read and draw if the description doesn’t have mistakes .

Part 3: - Gangster Association (C2 – Understanding) - 1-2 periods

All wanted posters and descriptions are given numbers and letters and students have to associate the correct description with each wanted poster. (I generally put them all over the classroom – they can pair up)

Part 4 (If the teacher is Tech savvy – C1 – Speaking) - 1 period

The teacher creates a sort of Guess Who selection with the wanted posters and students play a sort of Guess Who game with their own creations. I personally did it by scanning the Wanted Posters and putting them in Onenote (So I didn’t have to print 20 colored copies of this activity). Example below.
