UNIT SUMMARY
The students will learn about the importance of climate and weather. They
will learn about the different components which affect the climate, and how
this shapes the lives of the people, animals and plants which are found living
there. The effects of weather are also explored as well as the ways in which
weather is measured and represented. We all experience climate and
weather; this unit will help the students understand and describe these
natural phenomena. The final part of the unit deals with the effect of
humans on the weather, and climate change. The students will learn that we
too affect the environment, and what we can do to reduce this impact.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
In this unit the students will learn about the weather, and climate, two
factors which influence the way humans live all over the world. They will
learn about gathering data, and how to interpret the results in a meaningful
and relevant way. They will study how elements such as relief and altitude
affect the climate, and how plants and animals adapt themselves to the
climate zones.
Fragile world
Students learn about the theory of global warming and its impact on Earth.
They will read about the causes of global warming through the accumulation
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and they will hypothesise on the
possible effects of a global rise in temperatures. They will also learn about
the Kyoto Protocol, and how we can help reduce emissions and our carbon
footprint.

UNIT SUMMARY

This unit focuses on Europe as a physical and geographical entity and on the
European Union as a political and social entity.
The students will study the different geographical features of Europe, and
will also look at the population of Europe as a whole. This will revise the
areas they studied in Unit 2 and Unit 5.
They will then go on to study the European Union and its different member
states. Here they will concentrate on the different aspects of the Union,
including its different symbols, and its institutions. The focus will be on the
benefits which being a member brings to the different member states,
encapsulated in the motto United in diversity.

VALUES AND ATTITUDES


The students will benefit from learning about different countries, their
people and their culture. They will learn a tolerant and inclusive attitude
towards others and will learn to respect and accept diversity.
Additionally, the students will do a research project on their own, using
traditional and more innovative methods to discover new information. They
will gain confidence by presenting their work to their peers and evaluating
their knowledge.
Fragile world
In this section the students will study their rights as EU citizens, and learn
that that these come with certain responsibilities. They will contras their
rights within the EU with those of Spain which they studied in Unit 4.

UNIT SUMMARY

The importance of critical thinking skills will be highlighted and students will
be expected to take responsibility for their learning.

In this unit, students will learn about Spain in the Early Modern Age. They
will learn about the economic and political decline of the 17th century, the
rise of the validos during the reigns of Felipe III, Felipe IV and Carlos II, the
replacement of the Habsburg by the Bourbon dynasty and the social and
political reforms introduced by Felipe V and his successors during the 18th
century. They will learn about the cost of the Thirty Years War and the
resulting loss of territory, including Portugal, as well as the causes and
consequences of other key events such as the expulsion of the Moriscos and
the Spanish War of Succession.

Fragile world
In Fragile world, students will explore the social inequality of the Early
Modern Age in Spain through the works of Murillo and Cervantes. They will
think critically about what it means to be privileged and unprivileged.
Opinions will be expected of the students regarding social justice. Also, they
will be required to determine historical periods of greater or lesser equality,
arguing their rationale.

Students will study the two main artistic styles of the period, identifying the
defining characteristics of Renaissance and Baroque art and classifying
famous examples, as well as exploring the ideas and influence of the
Enlightenment. They will also consider the social inequality depicted in, and
the political message behind, the works of artists and writers from the
Golden Age.
They will use ICT to research Renaissance and Baroque artists and writers in
order to produce texts and oral presentations using academic language on
their chosen artwork.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
Students will cooperate with each other to create clear, organised written
texts and oral presentations, assigning and taking responsibility for different
tasks.
Students will use ICT to search for specific information, analysing and
interpreting their findings to fulfil a given set of criteria.
