«TRAVELLING IN TIME»

PROGETTO CLIL

Scuola Primaria «G.Gozzano » San Giusto Can.se

Classi 3ª A/ 3ª B - a.s. 2015/16

Docenti: Barca L. - Bonazza R.- Contino A. - Ferrara D.

Descrizione dell’idea progettuale

Il Progetto prevede l’insegnamento di discipline in L2, attraverso l’integrazione di contenuti, lingua e processi cognitivi; al fine di sviluppare semplici abilità di base: -riconoscere e saper utilizzare il lessico relativo al periodo della Preistoria con particolare attenzione all’era dei dinosauri, ai loro comportamenti e alla loro scomparsa - arricchire il lessico attraverso l’acquisizione e il riconoscimento di aggettivi per descrivere i dinosauri e dare informazioni in L2 illustrare il loro modo di vivere e nutrirsi -acquisire nuove strutture comunicative.

Articolazione e descrizione delle attività

Il progetto si basa sull’uso di diversi codici linguistici: lingua madre, L2, audio, audio-visivo, gestuale e prevede modalità di code - switching (cioè il passare da un codice linguistico a un altro) ogni volta che sia necessario chiarire un concetto, o un termine, o avviare un controllo immediato alla comprensione.

Come warm up è stato utilizzato un video che presenta una canzone in L2 con Karaoke e la visione di brevi cartoni animati in L2 che hanno per protagonisti i dinosauri

Per l’avvio al lavoro è stato utilizzato un filmato supportato da semplici testi e accompagnato dalla gestualità dell’insegnante. Lo scopo era una comprensione generale dell’argomento per poi passare alla comprensione dettagliata di vocaboli e strutture. Terminata la visione si è svolta una conversazione in L1 per scambiare informazioni su quanto visto e sentito e su cosa era già noto; supportati dall’insegnante hanno utilizzato internet per ricercare materiali autentici da cui ricavare ulteriori informazioni Quindi è iniziato il lavoro a gruppi: gli alunni hanno letto brevi testi per individuare termini utili e hanno ricercato sul vocabolario o su google traduttore quelli di cui non erano giunti a comprendere il significato. Infine hanno costruito delle word banks.

CERCHIAMO INFORMAZIONI IN RETE

Utilizziamo google traduttore per ricercare le parole nuove ………………….poi costruiamo il nostro dizionario !!

Verbs

They study fossils. There are many different types of paleontologists. Some study fossil plants, some study fossil fish, some study fossil mammals, and some study dinosaurs. Paleontology is a combination of Geology (study of rocks) and Biology (Study of Life).

Paleontology is the study of the history of life. Scientists who study paleontology are called paleontologists.

The "Age of Reptiles."

Millions of years ago, long before there were any people, there were dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were prehistoric reptiles. They lived during the Mesozoic Era, the "Age of Reptiles.“When the dinosaurs lived, the continents were joined together into a supercontinent called Pangaea.

DINOSAUR

TIMELINE

What Does the Word Dinosaur Mean ?The british biologist Richard Owen coined the word “dinosaur”, meaning “terribly great lizard " in 1842. In Greek, "deinos" means “terribly great" and "sauros" means "lizard."

How are Dinosaurs Named?There are many different ways to choose a dinosaur name.

-Sometimes the name describes something about its body (Triceratops =Three-horned head, Spinosauros=Spiny lizard) , -some are named after the location where they are found (Albertosaurus-Alberta-Canada) -others are named for their behavior (Maiasaura=Good mother lizard, Velociraptor= Speedy robber)

-some are named to honor a person(Lambeosaurus-Lawrence Lambe)

Dinosaur Size

DINOSAUR EXTREMESThe biggest dinosaurs were gigantic, slow, plant-eaters (sauropods) from the late Jurassic and the Cretaceous period. They had very long necks and tiny heads. Argentinosaurus - 115-130 feet long (35-40 m) Diplodocus - about 90 feet long (28 m). Brachiosauros - about 85 feet long (26 m), 40 feet tall,

The biggest carnivorous dinosaurs were theropods from the Cretaceous Giganotosaurus- found in Argentina: 47 feet long (14 m), 12 feet tall (4 m) and 8 tons in weight Tyrannosaurus rex - found in North America - 40-50 feet long (12-15 m), 6 tons in weight. Spinosaurus - found in Africa - 40-50 feet long (12-15 m).

The tallest dinosaurs were gigantic, slow moving, tiny-headed, plant-eaters from the late Jurassic and the Cretaceous period. They had very long necks and a massive tail. These sauropods are the largest land animals ever discovered.Sauroposeidon-60 feet tall (+ 18 m), +60 tons ) Brachiosaurus- 40 feet tall (12 m), about 85 feet long (26 m)

The smallest dinosaurs yet discovered are: Microraptor(recently found in China). It may be an adult and it is about 16 inches (40 cm long) Compsognathus a theropod (meat-eater) 2 feet (60 cm) long. It was the size of a chicken.

The fastest dinosaurs were bipedal carnivores (theropods) with long, slim legs and light bodies. Gallimimus and Ornithomimus could probably run as fast as an ostrich, which can run up to 70 kph.

The longest tailDiplodocus had the longest tail. It was up to 43 feet (13 m) long.

The biggest clawDeinocheirus (meaning "terrible hand") had the biggest claw. It was a bipedal carnivore from the late Cretaceous period. The arms were 8 feet (2.4 m) long and had three fingers with long claws, 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) long. Deinocheirus was probably the most deadly dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous period. It may have been bigger that T. rex.

The deadliest dinosaurs were speedy predators armed with claws, and sharp teeth.Megaraptor – a deadly predator with a long claw on each foot.

The oldest known dinosaur is the Eoraptor, a meat-eater from about 228 million years ago

CARNIVOReS, HERBIVOReS AND OMNIVORES

Meat-eaters usually had long, strong legs so they could run fast in order to catch their prey. They also had big, strong jaws, sharp teeth and deadly claws that could kill the prey. Good eyesight and sense of smell, and a large brain . Some carnivores were scavengers and some were cannibals, eating their own kind. Some dinosaurs were fish eaters.

Plant-eaters usually have flat teeth for grinding vegetation. Plant-eaters also usually have larger digestive systems . Sometimes these dinosaurs swallowed rocks called gastroliths to help digest

Only a few of the known dinosaurs were omnivores (eating both plants and animals).

How and when did the dinosaurs go extinct? 

Dinosaurs dominated the Earth for over 165 million years during the Mesozoic era, but mysteriously they went extinct 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceus period. There are a lot of theories about the extinction. The most accepted theory, proposed in 1980 by Luis Alvarez and his son Walter, is that an asteroid hit the Earth . The impact scattering dust and debris into the atmosphere, and causing fires, tsunamis, storms with acidic rain , sismic activity, and volcanic activity . The dust and debris would have blocked most of the sunlight for months. Many families of plants would die. The herbivores who ate plants would starve soon after the plants died. Then the carnivores, having lost their prey, would have to eat each other, and die out. The Age of Reptiles came to an end, the Age of Mammals was about to begin.

an asteroid hit the Earth

Il lavoro di elaborazione e produzione in lingua inglese è stato strutturato per gruppi cooperativi che avevano il compito di realizzare i prodotti programmati ( mappe, linea del tempo, schede informative sui diversi dinosauri) da inserire nel quaderno di storia e da utilizzare per lo studio.

No one knows exactly what colours dinosaurs were. Dinosaurs that were hunted for their meat were likely camouflaged in order to hide them from their predators. Some were colored in a particular fashion to attract mates and some may have been brightly colored to let predators know that they had a bad taste.

We imagine that the Spinosaurus was ........

…….and the Triceratops

Le immagini rappresentano un importante supporto all’apprendimento e alla memorizzazione e costituiscono uno dei canali privilegiati dai bambini di scuola primaria per la comunicazione. Per questo nel progetto è stato incluso anche un percorso “artistico”. Durante le ore di arte, i bambini hanno progettato un grande cartellone tridimensionale che rappresentava un Parco dei dinosauri da realizzare con tecniche varie.
