WITH BONE OR WITHOUT BONE? VERTEBRATE ANIMALS

Hello, this is my final task in my online training course on AICLE or CLIL methodology. 
In this post are detailed the different parts of the CLIL unit about "Vertebrate Animals" that have been designed during this course. 


1)    Timing: 6 sessions of about an hour. 

2)    Level: This unit is for first year of Secondary in the Biology and Geology subject.

3)    Introduction/Justification
This didactic unit is called “Vertebrate Animals” and forms part of the Science program for this grade. The subject area develops students’ rational and objective understanding of their surroundings, starting with their own perceptions and experiences.
Moreover, Science subject gives the students the necessary resources to initiate a form of scientific analysis of their surroundings, developing the capacity for investigation and inquiry and the search for answers and explanations to the problems which are posed by their own everyday experiences.
It also helps students to assimilate another cross-curricular theme which is “To appreciate the importance of respecting all living things and helping to protect the natural environment.”
With all this previous information, this didactic unit helps student to work in different basic skills like:
 -  Knowledge and interaction with the physical world.
-  Competence in linguistic communication.
-  Use of information and digital competence. 
Mathematical competence.
-   Learning to learn.
-   Autonomy and personal initiative.

4.- The main objectives of the unit are the following:
-To know the characteristic that identify animals
-To distinguish the general morphological characteristics of vertebrates
- To distinguish between vertebrates and invertebrates
- To know the types of vertebrates
 -To investigate one animal and make a presentation classifying the animal and describing its interesting particularities and adaptations to its habitat

5)    Language objectives:
The combined use of the four skills in L2, listening, speaking, reading and writing will be fostered all over the unit.
    In the sessions or lessons the students will do a series of activities specifically planned to cater for the different interests and learning styles of our students in order to promote learning and enjoyment all along the unit.
For this, my students will do the following:
  1. Identify and name the terminology related to animals and their classification.
  2. Categorize the characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates and classify them accordingly. 
  3. Distinguish different groups of animals and establish the similarities and differences of the characteristics we use to classify each group.
  4. Identify the processes of respiration and reproduction in the different groups of vertebrates.
  5. Show a respectful attitude towards all animals and their rights and establish ways to help to protect them in their own natural habitat
Vocabulary
Structures
Discourse type
-Nouns: fish, reptile, bird, mammal skeleton, backbone, trunk, spine, limb, gills, fins, scales, amphibian, lungs, frog, wings, hair, placenta, newborn, feathers, beak, egg, development.
- Verbs: fly, crawl, walk, run, slither, swim, breathe, reproduce, breathe through, transform into, inhabit, hunt, crawl.
- Adjetives: carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, vertebrate, aquatic, terrestrial, oviparous, strong, long, powerful, warm-blooded, cold-blooded, biped, thick, 
-Preposition: in, at, on top of, from, for, until, into, through, by, with, …
  Gerund structures: by running, by jumping, etc
-          Passive structures: can be found, are found. 
-          Infinitive structures: helps it/them to fly/jump/run
-          Relative clauses: which provides…/ bipeds that walk/which are formed…/an organ which develops…/. 
-          Verb + preposition: Protect from, adapt for
-          Noun-verb agreement: Vertebrates have a backbone. A vertebrate has a backbone.
-          Comparatives: Amphibians are cold-blooded however mammals are warm-blooded

  Listing facts
-  Categorizing and classifying
Describing weight, colour, habitat etc
-  Comparative sentences



6.- Methodology and activities
To achieve the goals established at the beginning, and learn all the contents in the unit, we will implement a participatory methodology, with a learner-centred approach facilitating in this way both, individual and groupal learning. The methodology will be applied through the establishment of different learning routines, and work habits, including activities  and doing individual and groupal tasks successfully. 

Total: Six sessions.

SESSION 1: Characteristics of the Animal Kingdom.


 Initial activity (20´)
The teacher divide the class into small groups. Allocate an animal to each group, (the animals have very different characteristics. Students have to describe their animals in groups and to note down their characteristics. Teacher encourages them to think about the characteristics of living things:
Think about where your animal lives, what it eats, big or small, how it moves, its colour, if it lays eggs.
A spokesperson from each group to describe their animal to the class without saying what it is. The rest of the class guess the animal.
The teacher explains after the initial activity (ppt) (15´).  The classmates make activities related with the explanation

Activity 1.- Work with an illustration (10´)

¡Hola!

Voy a comentar ahora los materiales que he propuesto en mi unidad.

Actividades para la unidad AICLE

Para elaborar los materiales de la unidad didáctica Aicle, he partido del libro de texto que trabajamos en 1º ESO ya que le servirá al alumnado para no perderse y a revisar lo estudiado. Se trata del libro de Biology and Geology de Richmond y Santillana.
Esto se completa con otra serie de recursos educativos abiertos que paso a explicar.

OBJETIVO DIDÁCTICO DE LOS RECURSOS EMPLEADOS EN MI UNIDAD

Hola, de nuevo. 
Aquí comparto mi reflexión sobre los contenidos empleados en mi unidad "Vertebrate Animals" para 1º de la ESO.

Objetivo de los recursos educativos:

El fin de alguno de los recursos utilizados y expuestos en mi UD es el siguiente:

-          - Para introducir el tema se hace uso de presentaciones en power point o vídeos:
De esta forma están en contacto desde el primer momento con el idioma, practicando de forma natural tanto la lectura como la escucha, y empapándose de vocabulario casi sin darse cuenta.

-          - Para practicar vocabulario y estructuras se utilizan distintas fichas a lo largo de la unidad, donde los alumnos tendrán que rellenar huecos o tablas, así como identificar imágenes.
Además, una de las actividades propuestas es la elaboración de un glosario, donde los alumnos aprenderán el vocabulario necesario

- El uso de flashcards con animales para que verbalicen estructuras orales les ayuda a practicar mucho. Así como los diferentes QUIZ sobre los animales que irán haciendo.
-          Para comprender y analizar lo aprendido durante la unidad, los alumnos tendrán que rellenar y crear diferentes tablas donde se recoja un resumen de las características principales de lo aprendido. Actividades 9, 11 y 13. En el enlace anterior viene una de las tablas que los alumnos tendrán que rellenar.

-          - Para ampliar y repasar contenidos además de las presentaciones y videos utilizados en el aula, a los alumnos se les proporciona diferentes enlaces donde ellos pueden ampliar información, así como realizar diferentes actividades interactivas.
Por ejemplo:
-          - Para profundizar en el tema los alumnos, con ayuda de la web, 
realizarán WebQuests:

Además, los alumnos investigan y usan dicha información para desarrollar su propio conocimiento ya que tendrán que elaborar una presentación donde demuestren todo lo aprendido durante la unidad, Actividad 14.

-          - Durante el desarrollo de toda la unidad, los alumnos trabajan las estructuras y el vocabulario al tener que realizar en diferentes momentos redacciones y descripciones de diferentes animales. En dichas actividades se trabajará también tanto la escucha como el habla en la L2, ya que los alumnos tendrán que presentar dicha tarea a sus compañeros y al mismo tiempo escuchar sus presentaciones.
