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:

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!
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).

TEACHER ASSESSMENT ·          This assessment is for an activity included in the Unit of the Solar System. Obviously this is just the assessment of one activity. We must take into account that we assess at the beginning of each unit, during all the learning process and at the end of each activity; it is important to know that we are constantly assessing in order to adjust the learning process to our student’s needs. ·          In this activity the students have to design a poster with the planets of the Solar System and their main satellites; the size, the colour, the distance from the Sun and the orbits have to be realistic. At the same time the poster must include a reference at the rotation (day/night) and translation (seasons/years) movements.

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...
