Cross-curricular projects - Progetti CLIL per la Scuola Secondaria Inferiore is a photocopiable resource book for Italian lower secondary school teachers who are interested in doing CLIL projects. This photocopiable book plus audio CD will be very useful for those schools which allocate extra teaching hours for English as part of the new Italian 'riforma'. • Many of the activities will help students with the oral part of the Italian State exam at the end of the 'Scuola Superiore di Primo Grado'. (12-14 year olds). • It contains a variety of texts and text-tasks for mixed-ability classes. • Each project can be assessed so that students can include their results in their language Portfolio. • The projects can be used as stand-alone. They do not need the support of any core English course. • They can be taught in a variety of classes. • The themes deal with 'convivenza civile' (social, moral, cultural development issues) in compliance with the new Italian 'riforma'. • The book contains 5 projects divided into themes: 1. How green are you? 2. Keep it safe 3. Forces of Nature 4. Citizens of the world 5. A look at the past
