Cerramos etapa pero nunca una puerta.
Al comenzar este diario de clase decidí tomar prestado el lema de mi cole de este año "abriendo puertas". Este curso me ha servido totalmente para abrir no sólo muchas puertas si no también la mente hacia nuevas formas de hacer las cosas, ideas, recursos, planes y proyectos que espero poder aplicar pronto en mi aula. Cerramos una etapa con esta última tarea pero nunca cerramos una puerta, esa puerta al aprendizaje tiene que estar siempre abierta como profesores. Día a día debemos adaptarnos a los tiempos y mejorar para conseguir que nuestros alumnos aprendan a aprender, a ser personas y sobre todo a vivir en este mundo cambiante.

DESIGNING A TEACHER PROGRAM ON EARTH’S CLIMATES
The teaching program is aimed at students of first year in secondary education in the subject: Social Science. The unit has been designed following the idea of the general structure, speaking tips, identification of language skills, scaffolding and final self-assessment.
Objectives:
This unit, entitled "The Eaths's climates" in intended to identify the structure and composition of the atmosphere, differentiate weather from climate and distinguish the elements of climate and the factors which determine them. Besides, students are going to learn how describe the main characteristics of the Earth´s different climates and explain the interaction between climate, relief, water, soil and living things.
First Lesson
Students first meet with specific vocabulary, so a vocabulary guide is provided to encourage them to try some dialogs, using key words collected in the vocabulary section and exercise 1, which also helps them to identify the main variables in circular motion studies. Some exercises on line will help us to introduce the lesson and practice with new vocabulary.
Geography terms
Futhermore, we follow the explanation with the interactive presentation made in Prezi.
Weather and climate
Second Lesson
Students have to identify the different climates and their landscapes and practice in groups with their characteristics .
A word search puzze is proposed to finish the initial tasks in order to go over the specific words once again and get acquainted with them.
Word seach
After, a video about the Eath's climates will help students with fixing the ideas.
Third lesson
The aim of this session is that the students learn how to create a weather forecast and put in practice what they have learnt. First of all, they will read a text used as a model. Next, they will write their own forecast. Finally, they will prepare a presentation as if they were they weather forecaster on TV.
Fourth Lesson
Students are going to practice now with listening skill in order to improve their important part of the L2
The weather forecast
The lesson ends with a debate task to discuss the relationship between weather and climate and their differences and how the climate can affect our lifes.. Some speaking advice is displayed in order to help the students to compare facts and to show different degrees of agreement. Students must gather some conclusions and write them down
Fifth Lesson
In this unit we ae going to practice with an his activity of transformation Scaffolding.
I have proposed a creative task in which the students must figure out, write down and solve three different problems.

Fifth Lesson
In this unit we ae going to practice with an his activity of transformation Scaffolding.
In pairs or groups, students are going to prepare an oral weather forecast
by first choosing the place and time for their predictions.
- Making their own maps and designing the weather symbols "clouds", "sun", "thunder and lightning", etc.
- Playing the role of the weatherman/woman on TV.
- Acting it out in front of the class and record it by using the school's digital voice recorder and/or the video camera.
Sixth Lesson
Then, we are going to consolidate the concepts and the practice with English grammar too.
Seventh lesson
I have proposed a creative task in which the students must figure out, write down and solve three different problems.
The lesson carries on with a bilingual glossary: an empty table to be filled up with key words in English and Spanish; and finishes with a self assessment rubric to provide the students with a useful tool to prepare the exam.

Diseñando nuestra unidad: materiales y recursos. Objetivos
El título de la Unidad es el siguiente: The Earth's Climates. Esta pensada para ser integrada en la materia de Social Science de Primero de la ESO.
Como base de la Unidad utilizaremos una presentación Prezi donde se encuentran todos los contenidos a trabajar. Este tipo de presentaciones son muy atractivas para los alumnos y captan rápido la atención. Es una manera distinta de acercarse a los contenidos. Al poder insertar todo tipo de enlaces a vídeos, imágenes, etc. les resulta mucho más ameno que ir siguiendo el tradicional libro de texto.
En cuanto a los recursos y materiales, me he encontrado con la dificultad de hacer una buena selección. Hoy en día contamos con numerosas herramientas que nos facilitan el trabajo. Lo más interesante del curso ha sido precisamente el acceso a las mismas, con tutoriales donde podemos aprender su manejo.
He seleccionado recursos digitales que permitan al alumnado repasar y reforzar los contenidos previamente trabajados como por ejemplo: presentaciones, vídeos, REA, actividades interactivas, mapas de ideas… Todos ellos con el objetivo de la adquisición de contenidos relacionados con la unidad a través de la realización de diferentes actividades que vayan construyendo el andamiaje necesario para el aprendizaje tanto de la lengua inglesa como de contenido propio de la materia.
Por último, también trabajaremos con ejercicios interactivos que van a permitirnos practicar todo lo aprendido a lo largo de la unidad así como servir de motivación al tratarse, en ocasiones, de recursos bastante lúdicos.
AL final de la unidad deberán también de aplicar lo trabajado en la unidad a través de un proyecto grupal (representación de un parte meteorológico), organizando el contenido, las ideas e incluso autoevaluarse.
