They’ll turn in their Venn diagrams and we’ll call it a day.įor my AP Little Darlings, we’ll extend the lesson a bit further. That’s where we’ll end in Spanish 4 and Heritage. I gave my students the freedom to decide which made more sense for their topic. (Like Piñatas in Mexico and Piñatas in the US). Now…depending on which podcast they listened to, it might make more sense to compare something similar in two cultures (Like La Once in Chile and Brunch in the United State) OR…it might make more sense look at the same topic, but how they’re different in the US and another country. THEN, Student B tells Student A all about siestas in Spain and then they both fill out another Venn Diagram, comparing and contrasting siestas to a tradition we have in the US.
Although they brainstorm together, both fill out their own Venn Diagram sheet. Working together, they fill out a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting Piñatas with something similar in the US. Student A tells Student B all about what he learned about piñatas, and they both work together to think of how that’s similar to a tradition or custom we have in the US.
Let’s say that Student A listened to “Piñatas en México” and partners up with Student B who listened to “Siestas en España”. Then the pair will brainstorm together one custom/tradition that is important in our culture that is similar to the custom/tradition that they learned about. Students will explain the cultural significance of their custom or tradition and comment on the Products, Practices and Perspectives they noticed in the episode. You’re welcome, enjoy! (The list of podcast episode links is below, don’t you worry!).Īfterwards, or the next class, if you really want to stretch this baby out, students will partner up with someone who listened to a different podcast and share what they learned: Then you have approximately 22-25 minutes to put your feet up and catch your breath while they listen to their chosen podcast. Students will choose one podcast that interests them, and while they’re listening, they’ll fill in a notetaker with the following information: If you teach upper level Spanish and you just need a minute to catch your breath (or grade or lesson plan or sip your tea while someone else provides them input- hey, there’s no judgment here, I feel the same way!) as we charge towards the end of the school year, I’ve got you covered! (and the best part is you can do this lesson multiple times! My Spanish 4 and Heritage and AP Little Darlings are doing this this week…AND again when I take a personal day in a few weeks!)ĭuolingo Podcasts are amazing and I’ve rounded up a list of 11 that highlight an important custom or tradition in the Spanish speaking world.
