This CLIL lesson plan aims to teach students about environmental awareness through a variety of speaking, writing, listening and reading activities. Students will watch videos about animals helping the planet to learn vocabulary related to environmental actions. They will then match sentences to pictures, discuss ways to help the planet, and categorize good and bad environmental behaviors. As a project, students will create posters, plant a tree or garden, and paint t-shirts to promote environmental awareness in their school. The goal is for students to recognize humanity's impact on the planet and learn ways to preserve the environment through their actions.
