Unit Justification

 Unit Justification:

The lessons are prepared for year 5/6 of Primary Education.  In this unit we teach the topic of communication. The Royal Decree and the last Order recognize as one of the main topics the ability to communicate in our language and in a foreign one. Moreover, the law emphasizes the needed skills to talk in public and communicate a message. We take into account  the “digital competence”. 

We focus on the following objectives, contents and competences that we want children to acquire, these are in the Orden ECD/65/2021, de 15 de enero, by which the relationship between competences, contents and evaluation criteria of the primary education are described. 

We are using a Project Based Learning (PBL), because according to the Royal Decree 126/2014, it is a good method by which students engage in problem solving to develop their knowledge or capacities. Teachers who use heuristic teaching methods provide opportunities for students to learn through problem solving. The amount of student decision making can be classified according to 3 levels of involvement.

We take into account the cultural diversity that is present in our country, and the cognitive differences that students present, with the goal of including, which is an important factor in our society, to give them values about respect and tolerance.
