Some resources for teaching about Spain

For the first part of my Cultura y Civilización (4/5/6) class, we have done units on legends in the Spanish speaking world (Leyendas Impactantes), a big unit about Chile, (currently) a unit on Día de Muertos, and on Fridays we watch Gran Hotel. For the second half of the class, students will be learning about Spain, past and present. Our curriculum is not heavy on Spain at all, so there is a lot they don't know! 


Before Winter Break, we are going to do a unit around the movie "La lengua de las mariposas" (I LOVE this movie so much). Most of the resources that I will use are from Kristy Placido and Arianne Dowd, but I will be creating some more resources as well. In order to really understand and appreciate the movie, students have to understand a bit about the Spanish Civil War. So, to start the unit, students will do an Edpuzzle with the video: 


I have also written up the text and will create a Textivate Sequence.

After Winter Break, we will focus on current day Spain and do a lighter unit around the movie "Ocho apellidos catalanes". I love that movie too (and yes, definitely skip some parts!)

I also plan on using lots of other Dreaming Spanish videos during the last part of the class. Here are some links to Edpuzzles:

  1. Como te fue con la unidad de España. Yo también había decidido usar una unidad de españa con Español IV y Heritage. Tuve que crear una gráfica para que pudieramos categorizar bien los dos bandos porque fue confuso el video. Aquí está. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19EmkdKAYSQQaKWM0r1j-hkwVLdpBET3w-uYh8N5-98k/copy
    Y aquí yo usé el principio de mi unidad sobre la diversidad de la gastronomía para intdroducir la cocina española y tal vez veas algo útil aquí. Hay una parte que tiene que ver con un reporteje sobre la comida de playa en españa también.
