CLILWeather and Climate Geography in French Lesson 11 part 2 :The mystery of Reunion's climate

(0)
There are two powerpoints available . This one in part 2 has an introduction in english , the other one only contains French and is in part 3. There are cards to match explanations to the climate related observation. The idea of this lesson is that you have just arrived in Reunion and observe landscape and cultural clues all around you and you have to make sense of these features to explain them. This is a reat task to use to apply learning about climate concepts such as altitude , distance from the sea, albedo , rain shadows etc .
CLIL Geography in German Mapwork Lesson 8 Using OS maps to design a tour for a German family

CLIL Geography in German Mapwork Lesson 8 Using OS maps to design a tour for a German family

(0)
Students use their local OS map to research and design a tour for a German family. They need to carry out internet research to find out prices and details of the attractions . A key part of the assessment is the presentation at the end when students show their leaflet and describe how they coped with using German . There is therefore much metacognition which helps the others in the class to learn. Peer, self and teacher feedback strengthen the process. Students love this assessment .

CLIL Geography in German Mapwork lesson 6 Height on maps contours

(0)
These resources don’t include a picture of a potato being used to demonstrate contour lines . However there are details of how to do this in the map skills scheme of work . Drawing lines on the potato to represent contours and then drawing a bird’s eye view of the concentric circles from above help the students to visualise the transition from 3 D to 2D .

CLIL Geography in German Mapwork Lesson 3 Map symbols Bingo

(0)
Start with the concept of what a symbol is , then follow up with the activity where students identify the symbols . They can write the answers into the handbook. There is a video of this activity happening in a French Geog lesson in the resource in the pedagogy section of my shop. It is a video from Chenderit school. The cards for the card sort and bingo symbols cards are within the powerpoint . So they can be printed off.
CLIL Geography in French Settlement   Design a sustainable garden

CLIL Geography in French Settlement Design a sustainable garden

(0)
This lesson followed the unit on quarry ridge settlement design. The aim was to look at biodiversity within an urban setting and garden design. It was part of a national competition in its first year but I repeated the task in subsequent years as the students loved it. It also fitted into the school site as we designed a wildlife friendly garden in the school site at the same time in honour of a retiring head teacher Mrs Westbook. Students develop mapwork skills of designing in plan view , on a grid where there is a scale . The students developed detailed colour coded keys which also helped with map drawing skills . I had a whole series of laminated cards with pictures of environmentally friendly artefacts such as insect hotels, bee houses, hedgehog houses, bird and bat boxes etc .

Students go around the product and note the price (see page 84 of the student handbook) Students add up the prices of a fair trade , environmentally friendly products and those that are neither.They are given a budget and decide which products to buy There are powerpoints about fair trade to explain how it works. Students then justify the choices of product that they have decided to buy. There is an example of student writing
CLIL Geography in French Deserts Unit overview

CLIL Geography in French Deserts Unit overview

(0)
This unit was part of a Year 8 year long course with lessons taught for an hour a week. It was the first unit of the year and followed on from the Tropical rainforest unit of Year 7 . This was a good follow on because the tropical rainforest unit contains links to climate and adapatation and so the students were familiar with some concepts and vocabulary . The unit consists of many interactive activities, video clips and two very motivating assessments , one where students produce a humourous leaflet about desert survival and the other where they design an imaginary desert animal to survive in a desert environment. Students are challenged by many thinking skills . There are exemplars of student work .

CLIL Geography in German Tropical Rainforests Unit overview with lesson plans and student handbook

(0)
This unit was the second unit taught for one hour a week as part of a whole year course of geography in German in Year 7 . The first unit taught was mapwork. The rainforest unit build on the mapwork unit as it gradually build up more sentence construction . The first assessment on rainforest adapatation involves independent research skills, description and explanation but based on a A3 poster of rainforest structure . The second assessment is based on a group work activity to design a campaign to save orangutans . The French unit on tropical rainforests was more extensive and involved a trial followed by an essay on tropical rainforest deforestation. If you look at how these pieces of work are constructed it is possible to translate the materials used in the French CLIL to German if you wish to use the French materials for guidance . This unit on tropical rainforests was translated into German by Chris Scott and Maren Blume . The lesson plans to guide this unit are contained in the methodology booklet . There is a section in the second half of this booklet which describes how the unit is put together and how to teach it . The rainforest handbook is available here but sections from it which relate to each lesson are included to download . The handbook can be printed for students to annotate and use as a reference resource . There are video clips of the activities included in the rainforest unit being taught in french on the Chenderit DCSF video available in the predagogy section of my shop .
