Dear seminar members /readers
Our last seminar
session took place last week and we talked in depth about assessment in CLIL so
I am not going to write about that today. I would like to
suggest just 3 ideas that you can put into practice to try and make
the last month of school a memorable one. Needless to say this is my personal
choice based on long-term feedback from my teenage students.
Therefore, I
hope these proposals will be effective and memorable for your students too,
regardless your content area. Here are my 3 favourite end of the year activities:
Make a Class
Video:
Use pictures taken
throughout the year to make a video. Ask students to add captions and
music. Add in live footage of students talking about their favorite parts of
the lesson.
Ask students to
write letters to your future students.
Have your current
students write letters of advice for the new students you will teach next year.
What advice would they give on how to “survive” or do well in your classroom?
What are the hardest parts of the course? If you have any special
activities you don’t want students to spoil, make sure to tell them ahead of
time.
Help students to
reflect on their learning process by asking them some reflection questions:
- What is something we did this year that you
think you will remember because it is meaningful to you ?
- What is something you accomplished this year that
you are proud of?
- What was the most helpful thing someone in
our class did for you this year?
- What was the most challenging part of this
subject for you?
- What is something the teacher could have done to
make this year better?
Last but not least,
would you like to take the survey "How CLIL are you?" you
took when we started working together in October 2018? I am sure you will be
very proud of your accomplishments.
Wishing you all a fabulous summer break and looking forward to meeting you all again in September 2019.
