Why do I use these resources?

Some of the reasons to use the resources in my CLIL unit are:

-The video is used to introduce the topic, create discussion and activate previous knowledge. I consider it as a reception scaffolding because the students understand the content we are going to work on in an attractive and motivating way

-Flashcards are used to introduce and practice new vocabulary. They are made up of written words to learn how to read and write the new vocabulary words. I consider it as reception scaffolding because are visual aids that let student to understand the new vocabulary.

-Tracing Worksheet to practice handwriting of the new vocabulary and this way include the writing skill. I consider it as transformation scaffolding

-KWL chart to activate previous knowledge, to set and be aware of the objectives we have to achieve and create discussion.

-Song to practice pronunciation of the new words
