Abstract: Educating through the Sustainable Development Goals is gradually becoming an educational reality, and particularly with the forthcoming LOMLOE law. In addition, working with the Sustainable Development Goals is fundamental for our students to accomplish a solid social development and to care about the needs of the planet and its inhabitants. This didactic proposal aims to help students discover the world of sustainability and its importancewhile providing them with ideas and resources to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Meanwhile, on an academic level, it is intended that students improve their English language skills, especially their writing skill through the creation of various written products. For this purpose, a lesson plan has been designed for 6th grade of Primary Education that includes 10 sessions in which students will work to discover information about three Sustainable Development Goals (“Good-health and wellbeing” (3); “Gender equality” (5) and “Peace, justice and strong institutions” (16)). Its final product is the creation of an explanatory comic book to be read to students in 2nd grade of Primary Education, as part of the Twinning program. This lesson plan works from the subjects of Literacy, Spanish and Arts through the Task-based learning approach. The final goal of this didactic proposal is to provide students with an approach to the Sustainable Development Goals in a motivating and interactive way, an aspect that will become
increasingly relevant in the Spanish educational curriculum in the coming years.
