SUBJECTS INVOLVEDTITLE AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE UNIT

The lesson plan involves the following subjects:

Maths

Field of languages. It is included the foreign language English.

Arts & Crafts

It is a school situated in the middle of the town of Rub. There is Pre-primary, Primary and Secondary Education. There are two levels in every year;A and B. The predominant language in the school is Spanish, because children speak in this language. The vehicular language of education is Catalan, but there are some subjects that are taught in English. The methodology of the school wants to promote this third language.

This lesson plan is called The geometrical shapes. It is focused in the subject of maths and it is addressed to middle cycle, concretely in the third grade of primary education. We decided to work on the area of maths because it will be an interesting topic to relate with the context of our students. With this lesson plan we want to create and purpose different tasks for our students to achieve the contents in an active and dynamic way. So, students will participate in a lot of tasks and at the same time they will be able to think about it. The most important thing of being an English teacher is to be able to create attractive material for the students and use dynamic methodologies. In our opinion, the best way to learn a language is by doing, because the most important thing is to be able to communicate a message. So, it doesnt matter if students know grammatical rules perfectly, the most important thing is to communicate with each other.

- Each student has got her/his own picture.If there is someone who needs special attention, the teacher will help him/her to show the picture to his/her partners. The teacher will guide and help the students.

Students will pay attention to the explanation of their partners.


Students show their pictures to classmates.

TASK


30 minutes Prezi presentation. Worksheet Angles, sides and vertexes.

If there is someone who needs special attention, the teacher will translate some vocabulary during the presentation.The teacher will guide and help the students.

Students will pay attention to the teacher explanation and they will do the worksheet in pairs.


The teacher explains through a prezi presentation the theory (vertexes, sides and angles). Then, they complete a worksheet in pairs. (https://prezi.com/sc4ncgicucr3/copia-de-current-event/)

POST-TASK


15 minutes

Worksheet Angles, sides and vertexes.

If there is someone who needs special attention, the teacher will help him/her to complete the worksheet. The teacher can also write some key words on the blackboard.The teacher will guide and help the students.

Students will pay attention to the correction of the worksheet.


All the class correct the worksheet together. Then, the teacher creates different groups of three students. Firstly, each group chooses a geometric form (triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon) and the teacher explains the activity (this will be homework). Homework: Students need to bring for the next lesson five printed images about different objects that have the form that they choose.



15 minutes

IWB (interactive whiteboard) Chart showing the characteristics of polygons.If there is someone who needs special attention, the teacher will help him/her to translate some specific vocabulary. The teacher will guide and help the students.

Students will pay attention to the explanation of the teacher.


The teacher explains on the interactive whiteboard and through a graphic the classification of the polygons.

TASK


30 minutes- Cardboards (one for each group)If there is someone who needs special attention, the teacher will help him/her to organize all the information. The teacher will guide and help the students.

Students will create an original cardboard with the most important information about each polygon.


Students with the previous groups (one group = one polygon) and after understanding the graphic have to create a cardboard with their pictures, explaining their polygon but using their own style. At the end we will have 5 cardboard explaining 5 different polygons.

POST-TASK


15 minutes

If there is someone who needs special attention, the teacher will help him/her by giving some clues to answer the questions.The teacher writes on the whiteboard some questions for guiding the students to share their knowledge.Student share they own knowledge to the other partners.

If there is any student with a special need, the teacher will give a personalized support.

Teacher will be working with the student who has finished the final activity earlier.If any student finishes the work early, he or she will be able to do two exercises; the first consists on creating a form using the pajifiguri and the second consists on drawing in the notebook, geometry series and colour it.


3. CONCLUSIONSDuring the application of this project The geometrical shapes students will learn more about this theme and they will also learn specific vocabulary. The teacher also has all the instructions and materials to do it correctly, but we know that each group is different. So, the materials can be modified.

It is formed by five sessions of one hour approximately. We decided to use new tools to capture the interest of our students. Therefore, during the whole lesson plan students will work individually, in pairs and in groups. So, this fact helps us to pay attention for the diversity and necessities of each student.

While we were creating the project we find some difficulties. The first one was to decide the evaluation criteria. We always work with the same structure of Unitat Didctica and this time was different. This fact affects us, but we know that it is very important to learn other ways to create a lesson plan. So, that is why we think that it was an interesting activity to do it as a final compulsory task.

Secondly, it was complicated to meet outside the university because we live in different places. For this reason, we decided to use new technologies in order to elaborate the project using Google drive. It was interesting to work separated but at the same together.

In conclusion, we think that this project of CLIL could be used for us and for other teachers in the future. Although, it is very important to know that it is necessary to do it with our students to improve all the materials suggested.
