The figure of Floridablanca and the teaching of History in Primary and Secondary Education: a didactic proposal

It is not necessary doubt that the acts and events of commemoration of historical relevant facts, as the realized ones last year on the occasion of the celebration, among other anniversary, the beginning of the War of Independence, offer a very valuable opportunity to the teacher to approach, of different form, the treatment of certain facts, ages or historical problematics. In this article there are realized two didactic offers (one for Primary and one for High School Level) in which there are tried to take advantage the popularity reached by certain events or historical prominent figures (in this case, the count of Floridablanca, object of numerous commemorative acts in the Region of Murcia last year 2008), to realize an educational treatment that, taking this motive of celebration as a central and principal element, it facilitates to obtain the historical contents that appear in the curricula.
