CLIL Geography in German Mapwork Lesson 1 Mapping Continents and Oceans

This is the first lesson of the term . This was used with Year 7 students as part of a year long course where students were taught Geography in German for one lesson per week. They were taught this in addition to their normal Geography in English lessons so content was not repeated in English. Students benefitted from this approach as by the time they reached GCSE their attainment and progress was higher than for students who did not follow CLIL lessons . This series of lessons involves use of high cognitive challeneg but low linguistic input which means that it is a great module to start the year with . This unit could also be used in primary schools .
