WALL-E'S HOUSE
How's it going mates?
Today I am going to show you a proposal of a CLIL lesson for 1st grade. It's going to be about Solar System. So... let's start!
Have you watched Wall-e film? Where does it happen? In the space, doesn't it? Do you know what is it?
Let's ask Wall-e!
Space is where I live, says Wall-e. I would like to show you an image of my house:
I live in the sky!! You also live there! It is called universe. There are too many houses in the sky. Mine and yours are not the only ones. Do you want to know your neighbours' houses?
Let's take a look.

You live in that tiny planet called Earth. I move around to one place to another. From Mars to Saturn or from Jupiter to Neptune. However, I need to be far from the Sun. Do you see that big yellow star that looks like a fireball? It is too hot! So, Mercury and Venus are too hot! I use a rocket to move. Do you know what is it?
This is my home! I have internet, so, I hope you will keep in touch with me to discover more planets, but please, not so close to the Sun!
I would also would like to share with you my favourite song, in case you want to listen to it.
- What have I chosen these images? How can they help me?
I have chosen these pictures because while I am telling them the Wall-e's story, images give me a visual support to a better understading. They are exactly related to what I am explaining and help them to understand me if there is some word they do not know. In addtion, universe is a difficult concept for them to understand because of its big size, so, images make them easier to understand that abstract concept.
