CLIL Geography in German Mapwork Lesson 1 Mapping Continents and Oceans

CLIL Geography in German Mapwork Lesson 1 Mapping Continents and Oceans

(1)
This is the first lesson of the term . This was used with Year 7 students as part of a year long course where students were taught Geography in German for one lesson per week. They were taught this in addition to their normal Geography in English lessons so content was not repeated in English. Students benefitted from this approach as by the time they reached GCSE their attainment and progress was higher than for students who did not follow CLIL lessons . This series of lessons involves use of high cognitive challeneg but low linguistic input which means that it is a great module to start the year with . This unit could also be used in primary schools .

CLIL Weather and Climate: Lessons 3-5 Micro-climate school grounds fieldwork

There is a handbook that accompanies these lesson resources called micro-climate. Theory about micro-climate is introduced first then students plan their own fieldwork . They identify suitable sites on a base map of the school grounds. They then take the measurements and then write up the findings, using the micro-climate theories to support their analysis. There is some student exemplar work attached to support .

CLIL Geography in French Map work lesson 1 continents and oceans longitude and latitude projections

(0)
This lesson introduces continents and oceans, map projections and the concept of longitude and latitude. Year 7 students produce a map of the world, labelling continents and oceans . They will find this surprisingly difficult as they are often unfamiliar with the world and what is land and what is sea. There is a basic powerpoint plus various video clips which can be used for homework. The lesson will probably take two lessons …it depends how much time you have allocated . The methodology document for CLIL may help you with teaching CLIL id you have not done so previously. There are also video clips of clil lessons in action in the video for cpd resource that I have made available. Lesson plan , student handbook and copyright details are all available on previous resource .

The Tropical Rainforest unit ideally follows on from the mapwork unit in Year 7 and lasts for two terms if there is an hour per week devoted to it. Read the copyright section on rainforests before using the materials The methodology booklet from page 22 onwards describes and illustrates how to teach each lesson. There is a brief lesson overview and there is a copy of the student handbook which students could refer to and write in . students absolutely love the unit n tropical rainforests because of the range of very creative assessments contajned within it . The first assessment is a rainforest structure diagram with research about animals and plants , the second is a group work task to design a campaign to save orangutans , the third is an oral assessment in the form of a trial and the fourth is an essay on tropical forest deforestation. There are exemplar pieces of work to illustrate what students can produce. There are writing and speaking frames which help the students to produce a very high standard of work. This is how to motivate young people to enjoy languages, enjoying interesting content and challenge. They will naturally pick up lots of those frequent words needed for GCSE without even realising they are doing it . There are video clips of a number of these lessons on the resource called CLIL video clips for cpd.
CLIL Geography in French Mapwork

CLIL Geography in French Mapwork

(0)
Please read the copyright document before starting this unit . I have found that this is the best unit to start Year 7 with . This is because it is conceptually challenging , yet can be accessed easily through French. Much of the French can be simply used. There are detailed lesson plans and a student booklet which can be printed off for students to write in and use to refer to . Lesson by lesson resources follow in other files. This unit lasts a term and a half if taught for one hour per week. It builds up skills and then culminates in an assessment which applies the skills to a real life scenario. Once the students have completed the final piece of work they are encouraged to present it to the rest of the class in French. By the time this unit has been completed the students are confident in the use of French by their teacher and the majority love Geography in French. I have found that the best unit to follow the mapwork unit is the tropical rainforest unit. Some of the lessons in this unit are shown on the videos which I have made available for CPD (see resource on CLIL videos to support CPD)

CLIL PHSE in French Making a positive contribution to the environment survey

(0)
This survey can be used to identify how young people can act to reduce their impact on the environment. Many statements have picture clues to support understanding . There are others with no pictures as they use vocabulary which has been used earlier in the quiz. Students can carry our a whole calss survey or interview members of their family . Students can total the actions that students do or don’t do and can make their own personal targets to reduce their impact on the environment .

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 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 .

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 .

The unit on Europe and the European Union was used as the second unit in a Year 8 course which followed a Year 7 course with Mapwork and Tropical Rain Forests in one school . Every student in Year 8 had a lesson a week of Geography in French. The Europe section lessons 1-5 had an assessment at the end which looked at the physical and human geography of Europe in the context of a tour of Europe(see that resource) . The European Union end of unit assessment is a debate about advantages and disadvantages of the EU which is backed up by extended writing in the form of speeches for and against. There is therefore the opportunity to use written and spoken french at a high level. There are exemplars of student work . There are writing and speaking frames to support.
