Learning is the goal of teaching practice, the answer to what? The methodology responds to how? In this sense, Project-based Learning constitutes a didactic response that is gaining more and more followers among teachers due to its integrating, motivating nature and, above all, due to the performance of learning. It is not something new, nor a new discovery. Any teacher has ever developed a project in their practice, however, there are keys to the design and implementation with a curricular anchor that facilitate the integration of this active methodology in terms of learning. The ABP recipe is prepared with the following essential ingredients: An idea or topic relevant to the students: Without a doubt, knowing the environment, its cultural, physical, environmental heritage, etc. can be an important source of resources. The formula to activate and enhance interest in their environment, something that is relatively familiar, lies in the activation so that their learning is contextualized and acquire a motivational spur. Evaluation criteria: They help us to specify the learning and limit the project. They are so broad that easily any aspect of the heritage can facilitate the learning development of our students. Guiding question or challenge: Let's transform the topic into a challenge or challenge with a stimulating question. For example: How could we turn our town into a center of tourist interest? How could we recover a feast of oral tradition? How to understand the humanized space from the heritage trades of the area? Learning activities that students will tackle throughout the project. Final product: the challenge or challenge will be solved with a final product. Audience: the product must always be presented to an audience outside the class. They can be students of another level, families, experts, etc.
