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.

During the week, we could enjoy Art Workshops where other subjects were included as well: Maths and Arts, ICTs were combined with music and a wide range of artistic tasks and many more activities that gave us the opportunity to experience daily life of this school of artists.
