This document outlines a CLIL unit plan for a 4th grade Art class on corporate design. The unit will teach students about logos and how graphic designers represent a company's image through visual elements like shapes, colors, and typography. Students will learn 20 related vocabulary words and apply competencies like linguistic skills, digital skills, learning skills, and cultural awareness. They will create their own logo representing given adjectives, easiest by using image editing software on laptops. The unit connects to ICT and entrepreneurship subjects and aims to develop students' creativity, communication, knowledge application, analysis, collaboration, and computer drawing skills.

Step 1: The driving question.
 Let’s write down your driving question and why you think this is important.
A simple image can represent the ideology of a company?
Today the image of a company is part of their results and benefits. A graphic designer
must represent, in a picture, the aspects that a company wants to project to the world.
This is an especially important challenge to our students because they must to use all
the items worked to create this image.
They must know what is projecting all the shapes, colours, typography... that they have
been working.
Step 2: The preview of the whole unit

Step 3: The easiest and hardest section of your unit.
Easiest: Draw the logo using the laptop.
The students enjoy working with the ICT and, when the idea is taken, draw it with the
image edition program is easy and fun.
Hardest: Create a logo that represents the adjectives proposed.
Students may be more or less creative, but it is essential that the logo represents the
corporate image the company wants to Project.
