CLIL LESSON: HEALTHY FOOD






In today's classroom session, the focus was on promoting healthy eating habits among children. The content goal was to help students understand what kind of food is healthy and unhealthy, emphasizing the importance of eating healthy food. Additionally, the language objective was to introduce and apply three English quantifiers: "a lot of," "some," and "a little/few," along with mastering the vocabulary words "healthy" and "unhealthy."


The lesson was structured in three steps. First, we activated students' prior knowledge about food. Next, we contrasted Little Pig and Little Tiger, to illustrate the concepts of healthy and unhealthy foods. This comparison enabled students to sort previously reviewed vocabulary into healthy and unhealthy groups. Subsequently, we presented comparative images showing quantities of food and encouraged students to demonstrate their understanding of "a lot of" and "some."

 

Following these activities, students gained a clear understanding of what food is healthy and unhealthy. Unfortunately, due to a lack of time management, I was unable to proceed with the reinforcement exercise where students would draw on plates showing foods to be eaten a lot of, some, and a little/few of.


After this lesson, I highly recognize the need for better time management in future classes to ensure all planned activities are completed.

Hello, This is Heidi. After a few months of teaching internship, I found that I have a great passion for teaching, especially in English teaching.  English, as an accessible communication tool, is a bridge that connects different countries and leads us to enjoy the multicultural world.  I am a lucky person who has been learning English for many years and has been experiencing the multicultural world. I am grateful for the support of my family and the guidance of my teachers.  With their influence day in and day out, I understand what kind of teacher I want to be. I wanted to be a teacher who could bring useful knowledge and new insights to my students, so I came to Poland to learn theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Reflection for the video

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El3g57taeKs What is your general reflection on the lesson?  We can use games to motivate students during the teaching process. Teacher can have student's classmates correct the wrong answers, and then guide the students in practicing correct one Be mindful of classroom discipline during teaching. What do you think are the strong sides of the lesson?        Class is highly playful and can motivate students to be active and engaged. What could have been done better? Disciplinary organization before class is a bit short, and students are not fully focused yet. In the process of reviewing words using flashcard, some students actively participated and some did not. May teacher lead students to read at first, then play the games. When students are noisy, and the discipline is chaotic, teacher still did not stop to organize the discipline which may cause unsatisfied inputting result. How does the teacher use visual aids? teacher ask questions to g

Reflection on Lesson 4 video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVxDfuuillE&t=14s   What is your general reflection on the lesson?         Students got enough inputting knowledge but were lack of speaking practice.   What do you think about the warmup used by the teacher?         The teacher used flashcards  asking students to identify whether did teacher tell right answer or not.  Instead of answering yes or no, students  clapped  their hands or stamped their feet to answer questions. I think it was interesting but lack of chances to speak.           What lesson transition strategies does the teacher use?         The teacher used colors to divide students into groups that let students prepare to do next steps.  What teaching aids does the teacher use?        Teacher used a small test to help students understand more and transfer the knowledge that belonged to them.  What would you do differently?        I would like to give more chances to students to speak.
