CLIL History propone sette moduli riguardanti altrettanti argomenti di storia del Novecento e contemporanea. Ogni modulo presenta la stessa struttura: attività che permettono di recuperare ciò che già si conosce e di presentare il nuovo argomento (Warm up); un Brainstorming da svolgere in coppia per riflettere su quello che già si conosce e quello che si vorrebbe apprendere sull’argomento; attività finalizzate a sviluppare abilità di listening, reading, speaking e writing (Input e Materials). In ogni modulo si trova anche un’attività basata su fonti storiche (Primary Source). Tutti gli esercizi e le strategie didattiche usate nei moduli sono finalizzati all’attività finale legata alla scheda Civics, che offre spunti di riflessione sulla contemporaneità, a partire dal tema storico trattato nel modulo.
