I am starting to watch Go! Vive a tu manera with my Spanish 4 class this week. Now that we are back "full in", I am really looking forward to dedicating every Friday to watching (and talking and reading about!) the show. It is such a nice way to end the week.
This time around, I want to incorporate some more culture as we watch. So, I am starting with learning about a staple of Argentinian culture: el mate! This video gives a simple, comprehensible explanation:
So, with that as the starting point, students will do this sequence of input activities:
- Edpuzzle the video above (made by someone else)
- Textivate Sequence (with this text based on the video)
- Quizlet Live with questions and answers
- Then an evaluación that includes more input (a dictation or other listening or reading activity) and a cultural comparison
Here are the activities/resources:

Hi Kara! Big fan and follower here. I am wondering, where will you watch Go!? I watched 2 episodes with my students last year and can no longer find it on Netflix. So sad.
ResponderEliminarHmmm, that is weird. It is on Netflix for me. Are you in the U.S.?
EliminarI'm sure there will be a place to watch it soon!
“¡Me encanta que usas Argentina y el mate! I recently learned about using comprehensible input with students to teach Spanish, this video about Mate is right on the money! Wouldn’t it be fun to have the students create their own version of Comprehensible input?”
