I am going to show "La misma luna" in my Spanish 1 class. It is going to be a little break from the stories that we have been doing. So, I decided that before students watch the movie, I wanted to show the 18 minute PBS film "The other side," but I wanted to describe it in
comprehensible Spanish for level 1 (hence some weird wording). I also wanted to
introduce some more vocabulary that they will need for talking about "La misma luna" (hence the multiple repetitions of el padre, el hijo, y la hija - first intro to family vocabulary).

I am wondering if this will be too advanced for level 1, but I know it will definitely be successful for
my immigration unit in my Culture and Civilization course. Here is the
unit for level 1.
Here is the slideshow with
some of the slides:
I am also going to use the song
"ICE El Hielo" to go along with the unit. Below is a slideshow about the band, "La Santa Ceclia."
