This document outlines the steps for a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) unit plan created by Meritxell Vives on the topic of healthy eating for 4th-5th grade primary students. The plan includes defining the driving question, previewing unit vocabulary and content, identifying the easiest and hardest sections, connecting to curriculum standards, and incorporating interdisciplinary subjects and soft skills. The goal is for students to learn about healthy and unhealthy foods, work collaboratively to create informative posters, and improve their linguistic competence through new vocabulary in English.
