This document provides a template for designing a CLIL (content and language integrated learning) didactic unit for an art class. The unit is titled "How's the weather today CRAFT!" and focuses on teaching students about weather conditions, seasons, and related vocabulary in English. It involves 4 sessions over 2 weeks where students will sing songs, create crafts like a weather mobile, play drawing games, and develop a virtual tour of the art classroom to display their work. The goal is for students to practice both art skills and English language skills while learning about weather and seasons.

It is mainly based on the hands-on experience at designing units and on conversations with experts and peers. The theory of the
4Cs by Do Coyle has also been taken into account. This theory has been shown in various publications, such as: Coyle, D., Hood,
P. and Marsh, D., 2010. Content and Language Integrated Learning. Cambridge University Press.
