CLIL Lesson: St. Valentine's Day (A1 Level)

Subject: English (integrated with Culture/Social Studies)

Time: 45 minutes

Learning Objectives:

Students will be able to identify and use basic vocabulary related to St. Valentine's Day (heart, love, card, flower, chocolate, gift).
Students will be able to understand simple sentences about St. Valentine's Day.
Students will be able to express simple greetings and wishes related to St. Valentine's Day.
Students will learn about some cultural traditions associated with St. Valentine's Day.

Materials:

Flashcards with pictures of key vocabulary (heart, love, card, flower, chocolate, gift).
Realia: A Valentine's Day card, a chocolate box (empty!), a flower (real or artificial).
Whiteboard or projector.
Markers or pens.
Worksheet with matching activity and simple sentence completion.
Coloring pencils or crayons.

5E Methodology:

1. Engage (10 minutes):

Teacher: "Hello everyone! Do you know what day is coming soon? (Write "February 14th" on the board). It's St. Valentine's Day! Do you know anything about it?" (Elicit responses in simple words or gestures. Don't worry about full sentences at this stage.)
Show pictures of hearts, flowers, and chocolates. "Look! These are things we often see on St. Valentine's Day."
Activity: "Heart Hunt!" Hide several paper hearts around the classroom. Students find them and say "Heart!" when they find one. This gets them moving and introduces the key word.

2. Explore (10 minutes):

Introduce the flashcards and realia one by one. Say the word clearly and encourage students to repeat. "This is a heart. Say 'heart'." (Repeat for love, card, flower, chocolate, gift).
Activity: Matching Game. Spread the flashcards on the table. Students match the flashcards to the realia. "Match the heart to the heart picture!"

3. Explain (10 minutes):

Teacher: "St. Valentine's Day is a day we celebrate love and friendship. We give cards and gifts to people we love." (Use simple gestures to illustrate "love" and "giving").
Show a Valentine's Day card. "This is a Valentine's Day card. We write nice things inside."
Teacher: "We often give flowers and chocolates too!"
Write simple sentences on the board: "I love you." "Happy Valentine's Day." Read them aloud and have students repeat.

4. Elaborate (10 minutes):

Activity: Worksheet. Students complete a simple matching activity (matching pictures to words) and fill in the blanks in simple sentences like "I ____ you." (Options: love, like).
Activity: Coloring. Students color a picture related to Valentine's Day (e.g., a heart, a flower). Encourage them to say the words as they color.

5. Evaluate (5 minutes):

Teacher: "Let's review! What is this?" (Point to a flashcard). Students answer.
Teacher: "Can you say 'Happy Valentine's Day'?" Students repeat.
Informal Assessment: Observe students' participation in activities and their ability to use the new vocabulary. Collect the worksheets to check understanding. Praise effort and encourage participation.

Differentiation:

For students who need more support: Provide picture cues or gestures. Pair them with a stronger student.
For students who are ready for a challenge: Encourage them to write their own simple Valentine's Day message.

Questions I might have:

Are there any specific cultural sensitivities I should be aware of regarding Valentine's Day in this particular context?
What are the students' native languages? This will help me anticipate potential pronunciation challenges.
Are there any students with special needs that I should consider when planning the activities?
