BIOGRAFÍAS XVIII-XIX
A lo largo de la segunda unidad, en el área de Ciencias Sociales, hemos realizado dentro del proyecto de Biografías una documentación y una infografía acerca de algún personaje histórico, para lo que escogimos personajes relevantes del siglo XVIII-XIX.
Para ello comenzamos eligiendo un personaje dentro de la lista que se nos ofrecía. En esta era posible encontrar ejemplos como Karl Marx, Mary Shelley o Charles Darwin entre otros, y fue sorprendente encontrar muchas mujeres que marcaron la historia.
Más tarde, realizamos un eje cronológico para situar el contexto histórico en el que se encontraba nuestro personaje, para luego situar los datos más importantes de ellos sobre la historia.
A continuación, buscamos información acerca de nuestro personaje y, luego, realizamos un texto expositivo que guardamos para utilizar posteriormente en el área de castellano.
Posteriormente, partir del programa informático Canva, donde encontramos los diseños de infografías que más nos gustaron y fuimos realizando una infografía acorde a nuestros gustos, y, además, que representase de una manera resumida los hechos más importantes de las vidas de nuestros personajes, junto con algunos datos curiosos acerca de ellos, imágenes y retratos sus intereses.

Fue la única mujer en el ejército. Cuando iban a atacar Valencia, Aube detuvo a Jaume 1er y le dijo que más valía maña que fuerza y su estrategia funcionó perfectamente.
Tras recibir una generosa recompensa, tradujo su nombre al español para recordar siempre esa batalla y se compró un castillo en Aragón, donde murió con 75 años rodeada de los bosques, praderas y flores que tanto le gustaban, pues también tenía una parte tranquila y dulce que no todos los guerreros consiguen.
