LEARNING THE METAMORPHOSIS WITH IMAGE ATTRIBUTION

Hey everyone,

Today I´m going to explain you what I have recently learnt in my last class. We are going to make a CLIL Lesson using common pictures! I will propose you to do it about the metamorphosis of a butterfly, because I love natural science, but you can do it about wathever you want. You will see that is very easy and hepful to use in the classroom. You can not forget to quote and attribute the source of each image.

Let´s start!!

As you can see, teaching the metamorphosis through pictures is very visual and students may find it easier to understand the process because we are using real photographs of the process.

In this CLIL lesson I have used different pictures from Pixabay

This is a easy website where you can find the image that you want with a simple search.

There are several different ones on Internet, this is just an example so choose the one that best suits your needs. It is very important that, as teachers, we should not use any picture without knowing if we can use them freely. Always take into account to use free image banks.  I also added all the licences and the author bellow each picture. 

From my point of view adapted images is a helpful resource to use in the classroom. If you add pictures to the topic that you want to teach, is always better for students  understand and learn because you are adding realistic visual things and  also always clarifies the information.

I hope you enjoy it.

See you soon.
