Lesson plan in methodology booklet page 22 onwards unit resource The next few lessons concentrate on problems in Amazonia and the students aim to solve the mystery of who killed the rubber tapper Chico Mendez. This is a true event but the trial is fictitious. The lessons take you through understanding the problems, looking at the evidence and students preparing their speeches in role. Then a trial take place . This is challenging but the students enjoy using their French to good effect .

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 .

CLIL Geography in French Mapwork lesson 3 4 and 6 figure grid references

(0)
Please read copyright doc and refer to lesson plan and student handbook in mapwork unit resource. This is a difficult lesson for many students. Students fill in their answers in their booklets and I usually go around the class to check that every student has correct answers to the 4 figure references before going onto 6 figure. If there are students who find this difficult then I also get other students to support until the whole class is confident. I also get students up to the front to demonstrate how they get the answers as this helps less confident students.

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 Geography in French . the hydrological cycle

CLIL Geography in French . the hydrological cycle

(0)
This unit of work was delivered to Year 6 students in a primary school during one whole day of Geography in French. It was designed as a transition unit to show students what learning Geography in French would be like when they started secondary school. Students really loved it and said that they had learnt more French in one day than they had learnt all year during their primary French lessons. The materials are also suitable for Year 7 students . Please read the copyright master document before use . particularly the section on the hydrological cycle . The lesson starts with a video clip with a card sort, then students study the hydrological cycle using a powerpoint and a further card sort. They then are introduced to more complex hydrological terms and build a model of the cycle. I used pet food boxes , but show boxes are also good to make models in. Then the students look at the differences between urban and rural areas and how that impacts the hydrological cycle ie they are applying their knowledge to a different situation and there is a support sheet using the near future which predicts what happens in each location. Finally they choose to be a simpson’s character who explains the cycle to an audience. There is a writing/speaking frame which will support their explanations. A challenging unit but very accessible for Year 6 students.

This is a unit which introduces the locational Geography of Europe . It identifies countries,capital cities rivers, mountains, seas and Oceans . It ends with a task to devise a tour of Europe which is undertaken individually , pairs or groups. The tour is presented to the class and is peer assessed. There are four examples of student work. Some of it is good and others are less os . For example it is important to point out that the students need to understand the French ie do not cut and paste . Also the level of detail needs to show detailed and accurate research .
