Some of you have asked me to show or comment on a whole CLIL Didactic Unit. I will try to make my best to make you understand what all this is about.
On the following webpage,
http://www.e-ducalia.com/libros-texto-educacion-secundaria.php, you can download the first unit of the book Biology & Geology 1º ESO CLIL that I published last year. Just click on "Descargar muestra" below the image of the book.

The title of the unit is "The Universe" and as you can see, in the cover page of the Unit 1 (page 7), every unit includes not only Content, but also some grammar revision, being the focus of this unit on the structure There is/are....and the construction of comparatives and superlatives.
Every unit begins with a KWL activity. What do you know (K)?; What do you want to learn (W)?; and once we have finished the unit, What have you learnt (L)? The point of this activity is knowing how much students already know about the topic of the unit and what their mains sources of interest are. Please, keep in mind that at least you will have to prepare some activities dealing with some of the things they want to learn about, and are not included in the unit. They can answer the questions on their own, in pairs or in groups.
In the following Blog entries I will be dealing with the dissection of the rest of this Unit. I will discuss the following topics:
- Strategies to introduce and learn vocabulary in English
- Graphics to help learn content
- Activities to activate cognition
- How to include the 4 skills of language
- Focusing on obligatory-content language
- Focusing on compatible-content language
- How group projects can make things more challenging
- Using TICs to motivate students towards learning
- Never forget creativity in your CLIL classroom
- Should we make room for some Spanish?
