Biology×English Lesson in HELLO Village

In the second period on October 10th, there was a collaboration lesson of English and Biology. As students had learned about Darwin’s Evolution Theory in the English subject, “Communication English 3”, this class was focused on students’ deeper understanding of what evolution is and how it happens.
Mr. Katayama, a science teacher, did the lesson in English. It included a lot of biological points of view and theories, but the students tried to understand every single word. The lesson began with easy quizzes and then moved on to more difficult questions that they could discuss with their classmates, and think deeply on. They worked on them so hard that they almost forgot the class was conducted in English.

１０月１０日，２時間目に英語村で英語と生物のコラボ授業が実施されました。コミュニケーション英語３で学んだ単元内容をさらに深めるべく，ダーウィンの進化論をテーマに，「進化」について学びました。授業は主に理科の片山教諭が行いましたが，英語での授業進行でした。生物の専門的な内容も含まれていましたが，生徒たちは一言も聞き漏らさないようにと必死になって取り組みました。簡単なクイズやじっくりと考えさせられる問いから成り立った授業は非常に興味深く，英語で行われていることをつい忘れてしまうような授業でした。
