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

-          Something to write their ideas, questions and the analogy.
-          Lots of ideas and questions!
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT?
The teacher is going to introduce the 1-2-3 methodology. At the beginning the students are going to write by their own: 3 thoughts, 2 questions and 1 analogies. Then they are going to share their ideas in small groups of three students, they are going to see the others students ideas about the elements (planet, sun, satellites) that involved in an eclipse.
After watching the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse video, they are going to write down their new ideas about the topic.
At this point there are going to share with the other students (groups of three) their previous ideas and how they are connected with the new ones. It’s important to take into account that it’s important to answer the questions and reasoning process connecting previous and new ideas.
When this is already finished in the small group we can do the same with the group class.
It’s important to be very respectful with the ideas of their partners and the role of the teacher is to help the students to feel confident in their learning process (there’s no good or wrong in their previous thoughts about the eclipse).

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. It's interesting to think the need to finish all the units with a final exam, if the students can participate in their own evaluation it's not so import

Your personal thoughts about the module: What did you learn? I've learn that there are a lot of tools to use in my class! In fact it's difficult to choose just one tool. How did you learn? I learned in a very practical way, as you use a tool you learn how to use it like "forever". Do you have any problem? Yes, I couldn't download my elevator pitch, so I sent you the link. 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
