Each lesson plan includes two dynamic and interactive activities based on the promotion of personal responsibility and critical thinking for children and young people when facing online content, each of them lasts 50 minutes.
The activities include specific guidance for teachers on how to plan the activity with pupils, as well as a presentation about the topic. The activities follow a Thinking-Based Learning approach, starting with an initial brainstorming about a specific related situation in which the possible problems are spotted. This will help them to develop the activity by students, who will deal with the problem and try to find solutions in groups. They will have to give their opinion followed by a final presentation of each group’s conclusions.
There are specific lesson plans for different age groups: under 8 years-old, between 9 and 11 years-old; between 12-14 years-old and over 15 years-old.
