1 Ancient Greek History A trip to the past CLIL project 2016

2 Istituto Comprensivo di Rocchetta Tanaro Scuola Primaria di Refrancore Anno Scolastico work in progress A trip to the We developped the Clil project through classroom lessons and during a ten-hour lab in the afternoon. 24 pupils have been involved Ancient Greek A Clil project 1

3 Introduction The Project The topic has been chosen as part of the CLIL Project led by Istituto Comprensivo in Villanova. CLIL It groups different Comprehensive School classes and involves pupils from both primary and middle school. The Clil methodolgy is aimed at exploring topics and features in English, used as a vehicular language. Being just an experimental approach and not yet an integrated part of our curriculum, it can be defined as a soft Clil project. We worked with pupils of the fourth grade, mastering an elementary level of the language, therefore the linguistic focus was on vocabulary and on model recurrent structures. We picked up the required information on appointed websites, but each piece of it has been revisited by our creativity. We read, wrote, studied a lot; we used body language to learn better. We had lots of fun and, overall, we are quite satisfied with our results... 2

4 Our learning storyboard First day: The Legend of Hercules We watched some extracts from the Walt Disney movie, Hercules, then we talked about this admirable hero in search for his identity. We used the following questions as guidelines. Who is he? Where does he live? What is he like? 3

5 Second day: song time We learnt the beautiful song by M. Bolton I can go the distance Sing along I can go the distance I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile, will be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right

6 Third day: reading corner Who was the Greeks' favourite hero? One of the 12 legendary tasks of Hercules is to beat the Stymphalian birds. These man-eating metallic birds are the pets The Greeks love to share stories about brave great adventures. of the god Ares. heroes and their Everyone s favourite hero is Heracles (the Romans called him Hercules). Hercules is Zeus s son. He is so strong he can kill a lion with his hands. He also goes with Jason and the Argonauts to find the Golden Fleece and he performs 12 impossible tasks. Hercules is very brave, but he is killed when he is tricked into wearing a poisoned robe. However, Zeus likes Hercules so much. He takes Hercules to the Mount Olympus and makes him immortal. 5

7 Fourth day: The Olympic games The Olympics The Olympics Only the winner receives a wreath of leaves, cut from a tree behind the temple of Zeus. Women can t compete and married women can t be spectators. In 1894 a French man, Pierre de Coubertin proposes a renewal. The first modern Olympic games start in Athens in ,000 people watch the games. During the event battles are suspended. 6

8 Fifth day: A presentation of the events Running Long jump The first event in the Olympic Games. Athletes run up and down a 192 metre track in the stadium Javelin Jumpers jump holding weights, the halteres, in their arms. A musician is playing the flute. They use music to time their jump Boxing and Wrestling The strongest event is the pankration. This is a wrestling match. The only things competitors can t do are biting or poking people in their eyes. In Boxing fighters wear leather gloves Javelins are wooden sticks, sometimes with a metal pointed end. Athletes fly the javelin

9 Sixth day: Acting and mime long jump discus running javelin Boxing and wrestling horse racing

10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude for this work to some people whose help was essential to its effectiveness: -first of all to Laura Fontana for her professional supervision and her relentless passion in pursuing ambitious goals in Education. -afterwards to my colleagues Massimo Gianoglio and Luisella Novelli for their substantial support during the ongoing project -last but not least to my fourth grade pupils, without whom I would have never embarked in such an adventure.
