This document outlines a unit plan for teaching about the human body using CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methods. The unit plan focuses on helping students understand how the body works and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. It includes driving questions for the unit, 15-20 key vocabulary words, descriptions of the easiest and hardest content areas, connections to competencies in the LOMCE curriculum framework, potential connections to other subjects like physical education and art, and a focus on developing soft skills like responsibility, communication, and creativity.
There are certain illusionary facts about breast reconstruction. Some of them say that it is a layman’s job, helps recurring cancer, demands the insurer to pay for the treatment, gives an artificial outcome, and involves serious complications.

Learning by Body was a project aimed to exchange methodologies and experiences in the field of sport and physical activities in Adult Education. The partrnership have seen different kind of organizations, of five different countries: Italy, Portugal, Turkey, France, Romania.
The project has been an important opportunity, for the participants and the organizations, to increase knowledges and skills. Important achievement have been:
• increased knowledge concerning the important of sport and physical activity in adult education;
• increased knowledge about best practices, organizational models and teaching methods related to non formal educational physical activities among the partnership.
• opportunities to know each other and to create an informal network among the partner organization.
The project has been implemented through various activities:
• Transnational meetings: the six project meetings have been important occasions to experiment different methodologies and to share local experiences;
• Local Activities: to experiment the different approaches in the local contexts, and to disseminate the project results.
Specific participative methodologies has been used, according to the activity (i.e. cooperative learning and expressive methods) in order to facilitate the exchange among the participants and to allow a direct and personal experience of the approaches and methods proposed .
Among the results achieved, we’d like to mention:
• Increased knowledge about physical activity and sport in Adult Education:
• Creation of new courses in sport and physical activity, for learners and teachers.
• Collection of short stories of experiences with sport and physical activities.
• A manual of the project.
• Organization of public events “Learning by Body Day” organized in all partner Countries.
• Creation of a website including information related to the project.
• Creation of a facebook page.
.
Here I add a quick overview of my Unit plan called "Knowing myself" where we will working on the human senses. It has been designed to be implemented in 2n grade and it will include lots of experimental activities.

OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING SCIENCE
Education is a process of bringing about changes in an individual in a desired direction. It is a process of helping a child to develop his potentialities to the maximum and to bring out the best from within the child. To bring about these changes we teach them various subjects at different levels of school. Science as subject is included in the school curriculum from the very beginning.
Before taking any decision about teaching science we should pose certain questions to ourselves, such as,
• Why do we teach them science?
• What are the goals and objectives of teaching science?
• What changes does science teaching bring about in the behaviour of the students?
Chapter 5 – Improving Your Study SkillsIn Chapter 4 we explore.docxchristinemaritza
Chapter 5 – Improving Your Study Skills
In Chapter 4 we explored the power of the brain. It has the ability to:
remember unlimited amounts of information
reason, sense patterns, and analyze information
think critically and creatively, and solve problems
These are physiological functions (mechanical) that the brain performs. But for most people, the brain does not separate the process of thinking from emotion. So, how you think is influenced by how you feel.
Likewise, how you think and feel influence your ability to learn.
Feeling

How Do We Learn – Learning Styles
People are diverse in both how they think and how they learn.
One of the most common models used to explain learning differences include the following styles:
Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic/Tactile
Several researchers have challenged the theory of learning styles. These challenges are based on the fact that:
There is no definitive test that identifies an individual's unique learning style, and,
Efforts to customize learning toward a student's particular learning style have shown no significant improvement in achievement.
It is probably better to say that we all have many learning styles but have a preference for one of them when we are learning new information or specific types of information.
We may use a different learning style than our preference to reinforce or review something we have learned.
Challenges to the Learning Styles Theory
Challenges To Learning
In some cases a learning style is not a preference, but instead, is a concrete reality.
Students who have challenges to learning, such as dyslexia, ADHD, visual or hearing impairment, may require accommodations in order to fully and equally participate in traditional classroom environments.
A learning disability is not an indication of inferior intelligence.
In high school, accommodations are arranged for these students by the school.
In college it is up to the student to seek out this assistance and advocate for themselves.
The Division of Student Services at TSU assists students in achieving their academic goals and enhancing their personal, intellectual and social development through the provision of a broad range of programs and services.
Intelligence
Intelligence has been defined in many different ways - someone's capacity for logical thinking, abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, learning, emotional knowledge, memory, planning, creativity and problem solving (Wikipedia).
But what is less understood or agreed upon is what constitutes evidence of intelligence. How do you measure intelligence?
The IQ test is probably the most familiar assessment used to measure intelligence.
High IQ Score ≠ Future Success
Average to Low IQ Score ≠ Future Life of Failure
In his article on the significance of IQ Tests, titled Rational and Irrational Thought: The Thinking That IQ Tests Miss, Keith E. Stanovich proposes that dysrationalia - the inability to think and behave r ...
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Why not CLIL?

CLIL UNIT PLAN
NAME: Araceli Gómez
SUBJECT: Science
TITLE: The human body
YEAR: 2016-17
Step 1: The driving question
Let’s write down your driving question and why you think this is important.
How does our body work?
Everything we do, running, playing, singing, eating, studying…, we do it through the
body. It is therefore important to explore different parts of the human body in order to
understand how it works and to know ourselves. Once we learnt how our body works,
we could take care of it and realize the importance of following a healthy style life.
Step 2: The preview of the whole unit
Preview the whole unit. Take a look at the title, headings, and captions to
obtain 15-20 basic vocabulary that must be internalized by my pupils at the end
of the unit.
Language OF learning Language FOR learning Language THROUGH
learning
Break down, absorb, release,
stomach, Intestines, trachea,

As a result…
In my opinion…
Is this correct…?
Sorry, I don’t understand…
Let’s startwith…
Spontaneous language
2. Why not CLIL?

Step 3: The easiest and hardest section of your unit
The easiest section:
In my opinion the easiest part would be learning the names and parts of the different
body systems (digestive system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system and
sensory system) because students just have to memorise them. That means that they
only have to use low order thinking skills such as remembering and understanding.
The hardest section:
I think that comprehend the processes that take place inside our bodies could be
difficult in some cases. With regard to stimuli, pupils tend to think that stimuli are only
external (heat, cold, smell, etc.). For that reason, is important to give them some
examples of internal stimuli, such as stomachache, headache, thirst or sleepiness.
Another common belief is that the nervous system includes only the brain, and that
the blood vessels and nerves which run through the body are the same thing. It would
be advisable to establish the difference between the two concepts.
Step 4: Law aspects
The LOMCE defines 7 competences: (let’s define some aspects of each competences)
Linguistic competence
This competence is based on the use of language in a variety of contexts as a means of
oral and written communication and as a learning tool for self-regulation of thinking,
emotions and behaviour.
Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology
This competence means using skills and attitudes which allow one to use mathematical
reasoning to deal with problems and challenges in everyday life. Moreover, means the
ability to use knowledge to explain the natural world and to draw evidence-based
conclusions.
Digital competence
This competence is about the confident and critical use of information society
technology and includes the ability to search for, obtain, process and communicate
3. Why not CLIL?

information, and transform it into knowledge. Also involves the use of technological
resources to solve problems efficiently.
Learning to learn
This competence implies being able to organise our own learning and an efficient use
of intellectual resources and techniques. Moreover, it means accepting a variety of
possible answers in a rational manner.
Social and civic competences
It involves the individual patterns of behaviour which facilitate peaceful coexistence,
relationships with others, cooperation, and the resolution of conflicts. It also implies
an understanding of the social situation we live and the ability to respond to conflicts
with ethical values.
Initiative and entrepreneurship
This competence involves the ability to turn ideas into action. It also implies to be
creative and innovative, to dare and to take risks.
Cultural awareness and expression
This competence implies knowledge, appreciation, understanding, and critical
evaluation of different cultural and artistic manifestations. It involves keeping an open-
minded attitude towards different types of Art as well as encouraging our own creative
capacity.
I will include these LOMCE standards in my unit plan:
Linguistic competence:
Think about and appreciate the importance of healthy daily habits.
Understand the function of interaction: stimuli and responses.
Describe how the nervous system and its various parts work.
