This is the end of unit assessment . Students have to take all of the retail theories and factors that they have learnt about in previous lessons and apply these to the design of a shopping centre . They then self and peer assess the work .There are two sheets which can be used as checklists. Each student presents the justification of their design to their teacher . There are exemplar pieces of work to show what can be achieved . The plan for the centre is drawn in plan view. Students absolutely love this task , find it very accessible and thoughtfully apply concepts and justify them. The task is very motivating and creative.

This lesson encourages students to devise a tour of Paris. They use online resources in French to collate information about the attractions and decide which attractions they are going to use for their tour. They then present their tours to visitors to their travel agency .

Students explore the attractions of their area using internet research and create a tourist brochure for their region that they can present to french tourists .

This lesson looks at the issues for and against toursim in Antarctica . Students are led through the issues via a powerpoint and then work in groups to produce a radio broadcast with people taking roles for and against tourism on this continent.

I wrote this poem after dealing with many child sexual exploitation cases. It sums up the processes that some people use to groom young people. It could be used as part of a PSHE programme or an assembly. Students can read the poem and identify stategies used by people who groom to control young people .

I was invited by Bernadette Clinton Hackney Languages Adviser to talk at her conference in June 2024 about school improvement and CLIL. This powerpoint was the one I used at the conference. It begins with information about international school improvement and shows how Finland , Canada and Estonia have high places in the PISA tables . These countries have at least 12% of their schools involved in CLIL and immersion strategies. What is interesting is to watch the you tube link and watch how Canada and Finland remain highly ranked throughout the beginning of the 21st Century as their programmes are already embedded. However watch how Estonia rises rapidly as its programme which began in 2000 embeds. The other really amazing thing is to look at the 2022 table of PISA results and note that Finland, Canada and Estonia have the highest SCience results outside of the Far East. This link between Science and CLIL progress and attainment is something that I too have found in my research based on the three schools where I introduced it. The powerpoint outlines why CLIL aids school improvement and how it does so. It also gives background to the reasons why it has not taken off in the UK and why there is an imperative to improve schools and languages in the UK Please provide a review of this resource if you read it or use it and I am very willing to answer any questions you may have
