Street Foods: Latin America

Have you seen the Netflix series "Street Food: Latin America"? If not, I highly recommend it!

I still don't know my back to school plan is, but it seems like it will be a hybrid plan, with lots of challenges for planning. I am not going to double plan each day because that will be very difficult and time consuming.

I will have units for each of my courses (still not sure about that either, but each course will be a combination of my own units (here and here), units based around readers (Fluency Matters and others), and Nuestra Historia units.

But, some days, for planning purposes, students will be taking a "break" from the unit. That way I will be able to keep the cohorts on similar schedules, with one cohort a day behind the other (imagining an AB schedule with Wednesdays every other week).

So, on those days, I will have students watch Street Food: Latin America or listen to a Duolingo podcast

I worked with Bethanie Drew and Maris Hawkins to create guides for Street Food: Latin AmericaThey did most of the work! I only did the Bolivia guide, which will pair well with the Fluency Matters reader El Ekeko: Un misterio boliviano (for level 2). Click here to see the guides for the five episodes and some post-viewing-two-episodes activities.

For the Duolingo podcast days, I have a template and some guides.

  3. You are such an inspiration!!! I am on a hybrid. And I am doing 8th grade this year for the first time in 30 years. So I decided to take it easy on myself, since lesson planning has always been very stressful for me. I plan an in-depth lesson for students in person on Mon./Thurs. and Tues./Fri. On Mon./Thurs. remote students work on their final research project. On Tues./Fri. students do a "tarea semanal". On Wednesday, as long as it is a five day week, we watch Gran Hotel in class and zoom if you are emote that day. Still very stressful, but I feel this might be manageable.
    I would gladly share with you materials I create for Gran Hotel, just give me the word.

  5. I am SO late to this party! These episodes are amazing and so interesting. I am excited to share with my 4th year students. Your generous and professional resources are such a gift at a moment when I need an awesome activity that goes with "Vida o Muerte en el Cusco" seamlessly. I truly appreciate your generosity!
