To distinguish the characteristics and functions of bones, muscles and joints. 2. Subject Content Our body is made up of our head, torso and limbs. We can move our body. We need our muscles to move our bodies. We also need other things to move: bones and joints. We have got a locomotor system. The locomotor system lets us move. All the bones in our body make up the skeleton. This is our skeletal system. We have muscles around many of these bones. 3. Language Content / Communication Vocabulary - Nouns: system, muscle, bone, joint, knee, shoulder, neck, ankle, wrist, elbow, hip, skeleton, head, torso, limbs, body. - Verbs: move, stand up, sit down, walk, run, jump, swim,exercise. - Adjectives: locomotor, skeletal - Prepositions: up, down, around, with, of. Structures - What part of my body can I exercise?
- 3. - Which part of your body are you using? - Can you feel your muscles? - What’s a joint? - Which joints are you using? - Can you tell me the joints in our bodies? - What does the locomotor system include? - What is the name we give to all the bones in our body? - Let’s investigate. - This is… / These are… Discourse type Description of the locomotor system. Description of the skeletal system. Language skills 4. Contextual element Reading, listening, speaking and writing. (cultural) This unit is about our body. They can identify their own body and the parts of it. 5. Cognitive (thinking) processes Scaffold, understand, repeat, analyse, explain. 6. (a) Task(s) The final task consists on describing how their body moves. They are going to label the parts of the body we use to move in a poster. Then, they can act an easy play out in small groups to the rest of the class explaining how their body moves and the name of the parts they are moving. 6. (b) Activities 1. Look at a picture and revise the vocabulary from previous years by writing the missing vowels. 2. Watch a short slide show (Bones, joints and muscles), without too many words. 3. After that, we watch the video “Body parts chant (This is … / These are…) and play the game ‘Labelling game’. 4. Complete the sheet by labelling the joints in our body. 5. We now watch a show about “The locomotor system” and they read and listen to “The parts of the body” (at Andalucía’s CLIL unit). Then, they complete the blank spaces (page 11). We can use the previous
- 4. pages (from 6 to 10) as reminders, but they also can help our students to scaffold the information: they review the already studied parts of the body by doing activities of ordering, classification or filling the spaces after reading: http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/educacion/descargasrecursos/aicle/ht ml/pdf/025.pdf 6. Then, they read and explain with their own words an “issuu” show about the locomotor system. 7. To finish, they watch the song “Superman Dance” and, following the instructions, they move. Their final task is, in small groups, to write a version of the “Superman Dance”. They have to use the parts of the body they have just learnt that didn’t appear on the video. 7. Methodology Organization and class 2 sessions and the final task in small groups to act or sing and dance distribution / timing their “Superman Dance” versions. At the end of the class, we can play an online Memory game with several options (only wordcards OR flashcards, wordcards AND flashcards, …): http://www.angles365.com/classroom/fitxers/3r/body/body2.swf Resources / Materials 1.
