As
we do at Samaniego High-school every year, we have received the collaboration
of a Language Assistant to teach/practise speaking skills with our CLIL
students. What’s been new this year is the frequent participation of our new
Language Assistant (Ana) in CLIL lessons together with the teachers of these
subjects such as Biology, Citizenship, P.E. or Music among others.
In
Music lessons with 2ºB CLIL class, Ana has practised the Lemon Tree song by
discussing the meaning of the lyrics and singing the song. They also spent 2-3
weeks practising the Cup Song and rehearsing in class so as to perform the song
during the Christmas Show in December. Everyone really enjoy it and they sang
along with them. You can see how they did it on these videos.
In
Citizenship lessons, 2ºB CLIL students have spent one class every two weeks
discussing the following topics in English:
- Teen
Problems
- Immigration
and Racism
- Bullying
- Anorexia
- Smoking
and Alcohol
- Democracy,
Dictatorship and Human Rights
- Social
Networking
- Global
Warming and Climate Change
1ºB
CLIL students again together with Ana and the Biology teacher practised all
their knowledge on Natural Sciences and English doing a ‘Shakespeare VS Science
activity Card Matching’ on the Science and Cultural Week.
3ºB
CLIL Mathematics teacher together with Ana and the CLIL section students spent
a few lessons revising and discussing orally in English about natural numbers,
integers, algebra, polynomials, equations, second degree equations and linear
systems.
4ºB
CLIL students together with the Ethics teacher and Ana organised a Discussion
about Animal Rights. The History teacher also collaborated with Ana by getting
her involved in the Presentation of projects and discussion of the following
topics:
- Women’s
rights and their role in the French Revolution
- Working
class during the Industrial Revolution
- Working
conditions of children and women in the Industrial Society
Finally, Ana has been participating quite
frequently in P.E. CLIL lessons with 1º Bachillerato students and their
teacher. They’ve been working on Sport Acrobatics and Fitness Circuits through
the year. Throughout the 3rd Term, they all prepared a Flash Mob to
be performed at the end of the school year at the school by surprise. Although the
main participants were 1° Bachillerato students, other CLIL groups joined the
activity and learned some of the steps. The students performed it during the
break time in June.
