Luna profe: salud

There are a million resources out there created by engaged and super motivated teachers to help us out in our classes. Sometimes I love spending time creating my own resources, to me it's the easiest and most convenient for my own classes as I can individualize and personalize my resources for my students, but also, we all have to admit that we don't have the necessary time to create or review all of our resources. Precisely then is when I use external resources, but remember if you want to make it right, make sure you cite/mention the original source of the activity or resource you are using.
This topic, Health, appears in all of the IB courses, ab Initio and Standard Level and HL.
Regarding the IB Profile and connections with this unit, we can clearly make a connection with the attribute balanced. In order to be healthy we have to be balanced, for instance with our diet. Nutrition and diet units are perfect to be taught within this topic.

Spanish B Unit: Hombre precavido vale por dos

This is a mini-unit or a express unit on Health.
Through this unit you can learn/review text types [brochure/pamphlet], paper 1, paper 2 and individual oral.
I really do like these "quick" units and I think my students got the most out of them. Less time, less pressure but more learning.
When it comes to optional units there is no need of doing long units on every topic. Through these express units we expose our students to the necessary vocabulary, concepts and give them a general idea of what is the unit about.

If you have any question/doubt/suggestion do not hesitate to reach out. If you develop any other materials for this particular unit, please share them so we can add them to the compilation underneath.
