INTEF DIARY, PAGE 5: FINAL SESSION: CLIL UNIT: PLANTS #REAaicle_INTEF

This is a CLIL lesson plan (Content and Language Integrated Learning), where we will focus on plants. Children will learn Science contents in English in a motivating and integrated way, so they will have the opportunity to use English language in communicative contexts to acquire new information at the same time. As the lesson is very experimental and hands-on they will have plenty of opportunities to internalise new contents gradually throughout these 10 sessions by means of numerous activities focused on varied learning styles.

We will practice the 4 language skills in an integrated way: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Whilst we will focus on oral production and comprehension, there will be activities dedicated to practice the written form of the language.

3.1. PLANIFICACIÓN DE LA UNIDAD AICLE.
Siguiendo el modelo aportado por INTEF de la autora Isabel Pérez Torres, he desarrollado la unidad CLIL para PLANTS destinada a Primaria, 2º curso en el área de Natural Science.
The template includes the following chapters:

• OBJECTIVES
• CONTENTS (SCIENCE AND LANGUAGE: VOCABULARY AND STRUCTURES)
• DISCOURSE TYPES
• LANGUAGE SKILLS
• CULTURAL CONTEXT
• THINKING / COGNITIVE PROCESSES
• ACTIVITIES / TASKS
• METHODOLOGY
• CLASS MANAGEMENT
• RESOURCES
• COMPETENCES
• EVALUATION

 Posteriormente, hemos evaluado a varios de nuestros compañeros del curso y hemos autoevaluado nuestra propia unidad. Esta experiencia es muy útil para aprender unos de otros y compartir buenas prácticas.



3.2. OBJETIVOS DEL USO DE RECURSOS EDUCATIVOS.
Hemos reflexionado sobre las ventajas de trabajar con REA para AICLE:
As detailed in the presentation BLOQUE III:REA y la elaboración de materiales AICLE, esta actividad nos dará la oportunidad de trabajar los siguientes aspectos:

• Understand content and new vocabulary in an interactive way: parts of a plant and various examples of plants.
• Integrate CLIL content and language in a natural and dynamic way via web-based resources and platforms.
• Work in pairs to share knowledge and build up from their previous experience.
• Consolidate results and share in big group so everybody learns in a supportive environment.
• Classify the various types of plants according to which part of the plant they are, through this interactive website.

3.3. DISEÑO DE MATERIALES:
I've created a Powerpoint presentation with a detailed account of my CLIL UNIT on PLANTS, throughout 10 sessions. I've posted 3 interactive activities, including my own resource with EDUCAPLAY:

3.4. ¿CUÁN AICLE ERES AHORA?
Autoevaluación del aprendizaje del curso.

3.5. DIARIO FINAL DEL CURSO: Actualizar Blog con nuestra reflexión sobre nuestro propio aprendizaje y compartir en Twitter nuestro progreso.

Muchas gracias a todos por vuestra colaboración.
Un saludo,

INTEF DIARY, PAGE 3: MY CLIL UNIT: PLANTS #REAaicle_INTEF

Throughout this course, I have learned about new resources and materials that we can use for our CLIL lessons. In my CLIL unit, I have focused on PLANTS for Primary Year 2.

These are my objectives:

• ·         Identify characteristics of living things vs non-living things.
• ·         Learn and use vocabulary about plants.
• ·         Learn Science contents related to plants through English:

• identify the different parts of a plant,
• study the life cycle of a plant,
• discover the different uses that we can give to plants,
• see the different elements that a plant needs to live: soil and  nutrients, light, water.
• during our visit to the Botanic Garden in the area, they will discover more things about 5 different types of plants: trees, herbs, flowers, bushes, vegetables and fruit.

• ·         Values: being respectful with Nature.

 
Some of the resources that I will use are as follows: References:

• Book: Plants (collection: Eye Know), by DK Publishing http://www.amazon.com/Plant-EYE-KNOW-DK-Publishing/dp/0756618584/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1447367776&sr=1-1&keywords=plants+eye+know
• Book:  I Am A Leaf (level 1) (Hello Reader, Science) by Jean Marzollo, Judith Moffatt: http://www.amazon.com/Leaf-level-Hello-Reader-Science/dp/0590641204
• Interactive activities online (quizz). 

 http://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/supermkt.html

We will do this activity on the interactive whiteboard for the last 15 minutes of the session. Children will need to decide whether each of these vegetables and fruits are indeed seeds, roots, leaves, fruits, stems, etc.

Asparagus, broccoli, carrots, coffee, peach, lettuce, celery, cucumber, radish, green pepper, potato, spinach, orange, peanuts, tomatoes.

Then, they will complete the corresponding worksheet, indicating what part of the plant each of them is. This worksheet will be added to their personal file. 

These are some advantages of this ICT activity for CLIL:

• Children can understand content and new vocabulary in an interactive way: parts of a plant and various examples of plants.
• We are able to integrate CLIL content and language in a natural and dynamic way via web-based resources and platforms.
• Children work in pairs to share knowledge and build up from their previous experience.
• Children can consolidate results and share in big group so everybody learns in a supportive environment.
• Children can classify the various types of plants according to which part of the plant they are, through this interactive website.
