Rose Rumi Palomero, Silvana Rampone (following the researches in the CLIL field - Do Coyle, David Marsh; Peeter Mehisto; Diane Hicks) C.L.I.M.A.T.E.S. Planning Lessons Structure of Lesson Plans

Following the researches in the CLIL field The aim of the lesson plans is to make them transferable to other contexts by giving teachers a detailed description of aims, language, thinking skills, materials and different activity types (individual, pair, group, cooperative work) that can be developed through each topic. Each lesson plan could be structured as follows (see below):

Each lesson plan can be structured as follows: 1. TOPIC 2. SUBTOPIC 3. CONTENT 4. LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES 5. LEARNING STRATEGIES 6. THINKING SKILLS 7. LINKS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD 8. CURRICULUM INTEGRATION 9. MATERIALS 10. STAGES

TOPIC title + general aim of the topic SUBTOPIC some topics can be divided in 2 parts in order to develop different aspects of the same content CONTENT OBJECTIVES state what the students will be able to do at the end of the project in relation to its content

LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES state how the students will use the language to learn the content, the skills they will have practiced and reinforced by the end of the project, the key-vocabulary they should have acquired suggest strategies that can provide language scaffolding

LEARNING STRATEGIES what can be activated to facilitate the learning of both content and language THINKING SKILLS required and developed through the activities of the lesson LINKS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD activated through the lesson/project activities

CURRICULUM INTEGRATION of the content through the involvement of different subjects MATERIALS used, created or adapted by the teacher STAGES of the project/lesson organisation of activities and experiences
