CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is an educational approach that

combines the teaching of subject-specific content with the teaching of a second

language. In this lesson plan, we will use the CLIL method to teach students about the
human skeleton.

Lesson Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

 Describe the structure and function of the human skeleton.

 Identify the different types of bones in the human body.
 Understand how the skeleton supports and protects the body.

Materials:

 Pictures of the human skeleton

 Skeleton models (optional)
 Whiteboard and markers
 Worksheets (attached)
 English vocabulary handout

Warm-up (10 minutes): Start the lesson by asking students what they know about the
human skeleton. Write their responses on the whiteboard. Ask students to share what
they want to learn about the skeleton.

Introduction (10 minutes): Introduce the topic by explaining that the human skeleton is
the framework of the body, which supports and protects our organs, muscles, and
tissues. Show pictures of the human skeleton and ask students to identify the different
parts.

Vocabulary (10 minutes): Hand out an English vocabulary list with skeleton-related
words and their definitions. Review the list with the class, providing examples and
encouraging students to practice using the words in sentences.

CLIL Activity (30 minutes): Divide the class into small groups and give each group a
worksheet with skeleton-related questions. Ask the groups to work together to
complete the worksheet, using their English skills to answer the questions.

Closing (10 minutes): Bring the class back together and review the worksheet answers as
a group. Encourage students to ask questions and clarify any misunderstandings. Wrap
up the lesson by summarizing the key points about the human skeleton.

Assessment: To assess students' understanding of the human skeleton, give them a quiz
that covers the key concepts of the lesson. The quiz should include questions that
require them to identify the different parts of the skeleton, describe the functions of the
skeleton, and use skeleton-related vocabulary.
 Extension: As an extension activity, students can create their own models of the human
skeleton using materials such as cardboard, paper mache, or clay. They can present their
models to the class and explain the different parts of the skeleton.
