CLIL ACTIVITY: THE EARTH AS A PART OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Once we have decided that our topic to develop CLIL activities is the Earth. Spanish team had chosen Social Science area , English Language Area, Musi, Arts  and ICT to implement this topic throught our students.

As any CLIL lesson we have to fulfil the 4 Cs: Contents, culture, communication and cognition.

Contents: To recognize main aspects about the Earth in English and in Spanish. Practice grammar structures by describing an astronaut.

Cognition: To predict information, to share ideas and to apply their previous knowledge about the matter in Spanish and be able to use it in English.

ASSESSMENT:

We are going to use two different types of evaluation: one for teachers. and another one for students

TEACHER'S ASSESSMENT TOOL: SAT (School Evaluation Tool).

While students are working on the project, we observe their skills throught the matrix to reflect on the process.

STUDENTS' ASSESSMENT TOOL: PLICKERS APP.

It is a free application that allows teachers to evaluate their students in an immediate and fun way.

This tool allows us to collect data that can be registered in reports of each of the students of the class. Students have to answer multi-choice or true/false questions with a QR code.

Finland, the country of green gold and thousands of lakes

In the Erasmus+ project, we work on the Earth theme. The pupils are divaded into two groups. One examines Finland`s green gold, forests and another topic is thousands of lakes.

The group are mixed with 3-6-classes students (aged between 9-12 years old). This is one of our school´s multi-disciplinary learning set. The new curriculum sets up to 1-2 multi-disciplinary learning set per semester.

At the same time we teachers observe the pupils´skills. We use the S.A.T. (School Evaluation Tool)
is the main tool of this Erasmus+ project. 

Polish, Lithuanian and Finnish co-operate to fix the 2nd Cross-Curricular Unit and the EU Topic

Each country will focus more on 1-2 topics which are typical of the country.  Poland: Mountains and hills, Lithuania: Flat land and Finland: Forrests and thousands of lakes.

We had the first Skype-connection yesterday and our students were part of this connection. This project includes also skills and S.A.T. evaluation matrix.
