Module 3 - Personal thoughts

Your personal thought: What did you learn? How did you learn? Do you have any problem? Would you like to investigate a bit more about any subject? Which question do you propose to someone who read this post to help you with CLIL? In this module I learnt a lot about evaluation and assessment. I know that if you want to change your methodologies in class you have to change the way you evaluate. This is the base to teach in a new way more kind for students or probably more interesting for them. Traditionally the teacher was the only one how participated in the students evaluation, and it has no sense because the students are the ones who need to know their progress and what did they learnt in each unit. It's very helpful and motivating to use peer assessment and sometimes self assessment in each unit.

Would you like to investigate a bit more about any subject? Yes, I'd like to make more mind maps, I find them super useful. Which question do you propose to someone who read this post to help you with CLIL? If he/she can share their knowledge! FINAL REFLECTION ABOUT THE COURSE: 3 things I have learnt. How to plan a clil unit. How to use motivational tools. How to work in group using different formats (cooperative techniques and thinking routines) 2 things I will do in my lessons. To work in a cooperative way ( experts, puzzle...) To use more mo

TITLE OF THE THINKING ROUTINE: 1-2-3 Bridge EXPLANATION: This routine asks students to uncover their initial thoughts, ideas, questions and understandings about in particular about the eclipses topic. After watching a video they are going to connect their previous knowledge to new thinking about the topic after they have received some instruction. The students are going to prove if their previous thoughts about the topic where right or wrong, and there are going to connect their previous thinking and “build a bridge” with their new ideas. RESOURCES: Online resources Solar eclipse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6OtLfszaVI Lunar eclipse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH-aSizsx1o Classroom resources -           We are going to use the 1-2-3 chart -           Something to write their ideas, questions and the analogy. -           Lots of ideas and questions!
