HOW TO USE AN IMAGE IN A CLIL LESSON!!

Hi Frends!
Today I am going to explain how to use an image in a Clil Lesson. For that reason I will teach the water cycle which is taught in the second grade of primary education.
For this activity we will use different images or photographs which must be freely used, we must also quote and attribute the source of each image.
Below I leave some useful websites of free image banks which you can use for any activity you are going to do.

It is advisable to add to each image the origin, the author and the license below each one, it is very easy since you will only have to create links of each thing that you want to publish.

In my lesson of CLIL I have used different images of the Pixabay web page, in this page we can find any photo that you want, you only have to click in the search engine and enter the keywords.
I have selected four images that show an example of the different steps of the water cycle. Each one of them shows a graphic description of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.
In addition to each image I have added a brief explanation which will be very useful and will be easier to understand the process.

I will use these images in a CLIL lesson as a resource to introduce and inquire into the topic of the water cycle. With this, we intend that the student:
- To work the contents of the water cycle
- To learn the essential vocabulary
- To develop communication and cognitive skills in general.

Here below, I have put my example of the use of images for a CLIL lesson:

THE WATER CYCLE

Water does not always stay in the same places. We have all seen how it falls from the clouds when it rains or snows, we have seen how it flows through rivers, streams, seas and oceans

1. EVAPORATION

Due to the heat of the Sun, the water from the surface of the sea evaporates. The water of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, etc., also evaporates, although in smaller quantities.

This water vapor rises and forms the clouds that come to store a large amount of water in the form of vapor.

2. CONDENSATION

When these clouds cool, the water vapor that it contains condenses and forms drops of liquid water, which become clouds.

3. PRECIPITATION

The water in the clouds falls as it rains. If the temperature goes down, precipitation can occur in the form of snow or hail. In this way, the water, coming mainly from the sea, passes to the mainland.

4. COLLECTION

Once the water has precipitated on the firm ground:

Part of it will seep into the ground and accumulate in large underground deposits (aquifers) or form underground streams.

Another part of the fallen water will run through the earth's surface forming torrents, streams and rivers that will take, again, the water to the sea. This completes the water cycle.
