This year's Lotería de Navidad plan

If you search "Lotería" on my blog, you will see A LOT of resources (maybe too many!). I have been teaching about and creating resources about la Lotería de Navidad for ten years now. It is one of my favorite things to teach and I always do something new and/or different.

I haven't created anything to go along with this year's add (the one above), but I'm sure if there isn't already, someone will make something to go along with it! 

This year, in Spanish 3, I will be using the 2018 commercial titled "22 otra vez" (free resources here). I have done that unit several times and students (and I) always enjoy it.

This year, I am also teaching a an advanced, post-AP, film class. It is a phenomenal group of very strong students, so I am going to try something new with them. They're interpretive listening skills are very strong and they don't need as much input, so they are going to create their own anuncio or cuento para la Lotería de Navidad that combines elements of some of the 16 anuncios that we will watch. You can find a rubric (created with ChatGPT's help) in the unit packet.

Crea un anuncio o un cuento para la Lotería de Navidad que combina elementos de varios anuncios que hemos visto. Debes incluir los siguiente:

• Personajes, lugares, citas, temas y/o cultura de 4 (o más) de los anuncios

• El lema: El mayor premio es compartirlo y/o El sorteo que nos une

Some of these students just did a similar assessment, but they had they had to combine elements from: Diario de Motocicletas, El libro de la vida y Lorena. The stories were super creative and so fun to listen to (and grade!).

First, they will review (or learn) a bit about la Lotería de Navidad. Some of these students have seen Pablo's video (Dreaming Spanish) 1-3 times, so I found a new video (see below) and created these questions.

To learn about the history of the anuncios, students will also read this article, "Del Calvo de Navidad a Rufino, todos los anuncios de la Lotería de Navidad desde 1998" and they will have to do a short Interpretive Reading activity.

After that, this is the plan:

1. En clase, todos juntos, miramos los 16 anuncios de lotería

2. En clase y/o para tarea, escriben sobre seis de los anuncios (Un resumen breve, citas, lugares (investiga), personajes, cultura, y temas)

3. En clase, con los grupos, miran todas sus notas de los varios anuncios y escogen cosas que les gustaría incluir.

4. Escriben el guión/cuento.

5. Repasn el guión/cuento con Kara.

6. Graban el anuncio o crea una representación visual.

7. Presentan el anuncio o el cuento con la representación visual.
