CLIL PLANNING TEMPLATE UNIT TITLE: GLOBAL WARMING
AUTHOR/S: Shanti Arrieta, Albert Costan & Joan Palomeras
CLASS/ AGE: ESO YEAR 1
SUBJECTS, LANGUAGES and/or TEACHERS INVOLVED: English & The Natural World.
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF SESSIONS: 10 of 55 minutes COE level: A1-
A2
Introduction to the Teaching Sequence Everybody talks about global warming, but what is it? In this unit we aim to explain what
global warming is, its consequences and what we can do to prevent it. We are going to
learn about endangered animals and their habitats, the causes of global warming, the
greenhouse effect, the greenhouse gases, renewable energies and recycling.
Be aware of the students with especial educational needs, be careful while arranging the
groups and assess these students according to their progress rather than according to their
performance.
Tandem teaching is a good tool to use while explaining some of the activities, the teaching
unit is designed with this purpose but it could be implemented by only one teacher.
Subject-matter objective/s – goals - competences
By the end of the unit/ lesson/ task, the students will be able to…
1- know what are the endangered species and the changes in their habitats due to global warming.
2- know what is the greenhouse effect and explain it.
3- give pieces of advice in order to pollute less.
4- identify the causes of the global warming.
5- identify different types of gases that produce the greenhouse effect
6- learn about the different types of renewable energies and some features of them.
7- know what and how to recycle.
8- appreciate the difference between rich and poor countries towards the problem.

to write with their own words some characteristics about its habitat and the
problems related with the environmental impact caused by the global warming.

The monkey lives in the forest but the high demand of wood and paper is reducing the
number of trees.
Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
The penguins need glaciers to live but the ice is melting.
The water temperature increases and the fishes can’t stand it.

Dossier
Homework correction ±15’ T←→Class
Ask some student to read their answers aloud (Task 12). Correct them if necessary. When you
finish correcting all the questions collect the homework.
Key:
1- The greenhouse effect is a natural process and it warms the Earth.
2- It is good, because without the greenhouse effect the Earth would be very cold, too
cold for living things, such as plants and animals.
3- Possible answer:
The greenhouse gases and the heat of the sun cause the greenhouse effect.
4- Possible answer:
The different greenhouse gases are: Carbon dioxide, methane and CFC. Carbon dioxide
comes from the burning of fuel such as coal, oil and gas. It is naturally produced when
people and animals breathe. Methane comes from buried waste and from cattle as
they digest their food. CFCs come from aerosols, such as hairspray cans, fridges and in
making foam plastics.

The earth is getting warmer
Increase of evaporation
Due to the increase of temperature on earth more water is evaporated
Some lakes and reservoirs are getting dry
Increase of sea level
Due to the increase of temperature on earth icebergs and the poles are getting melted
Some countries are suffering flooding and some others are in danger of being covered by the sea
Loss of habitat for species
Due to these increase of temperature some biomes are changing
Risk for some animals to disappear

6) What was your glogster about? Explain it in 5-10 lines and give your personal opinion about
your glogster’s topic. (1,5 points)
7) Read the text and answer the questions below.
What happens next is not good news for people or penguins. The thing that bothers me is that
the ice of the poles is melting. Some of it already is melting fast. The Arctic sea ice gets less
every year and the great frozen continent of Antarctica (my home) is losing ice too. Other seas,
like the North Sea, are warming too. This means that fish which need colder waters have to
swim north and this can have bad effects of both fishing and seabirds.
As you know, penguins like ice. Without very cold water and ice, we get too hot because, like
polar bears, we're built for cold weather. But for you people, it will be much worse.
For a start, all the ice that melts will start to fill up the oceans and make them overflow on
land. And the water itself will take up more space simply because it is warmer. That will make
it overflow even more onto the land.
More sea and less land is fine for penguins and for fish, but it's no good at all for people and
other animals that live on the land. Some of the best land for growing food is also the most
low-lying. That means it will be flooded first. It also happens that some of your biggest cities,
like London, New Orleans and Bangkok, will get flooded too. Loads of people will go hungry
and many more will have nowhere to live. This is very worrying.
It's also very unfair! The really sad thing is that it will be poor people who suffer most. I think
that's very unfair because it's the people in rich countries who have been the cause of almost
all global warming but it's the poor who drown or starve.
Questions: (0,5 points each)
1- What will happen to the fish in the Arctic and North sea? Why?
2- What is the meaning of the word overflow in the text?
Global Warming
Arrieta, Costan & Palomeras (2010) 26
3- According to the text, what will happen to the people of London, New Orleans and
Bangkok?
