Examples of typical CLIL exercises:

3) Did WW1 happen because of German militarism? Discuss!
4) Write down all hard words from this section of the book
--> Ask your neighbour if he/she knows what they mean? 
5) If you would explain Egyptian culture to your 5 year-old sister, what would you say to her (in English)?

My way of improving their vocabulary
- They need a seperate notebook
- From now on it's called the glossary
- It's a mini dictionary
- They write down all hard words plus dutch translation in their glossary
- for example: 
Precipitation - Neerslag

CLIL exercise: 
"Egyptians believed that their pharao would REINCARNATE in the afterlife. This meant the pharao still needed his body, including all important items he used in daily life." 
Reincarnate means "coming back to life". Verbs with "re-" mean that something is happening again.

CLIL exercise: Write down 5 sentences with 5 different "re-" verbs that indeed show that something is happening again. (You can look up some)
