El maestro que prometió el mar

I am teaching AP Spanish this year and I have a super strong, wonderful class of curious, worldly, thoughtful learners. I am enjoying them a lot! 

So far, we have done two units: one that revolves around Frida Kahlo and the other that revolves around Encanto. 

I have a pretty solid AP curriculum and really enjoy teaching it. However, when I was in Spain in March, I saw the movie "El maestro que prometió el mar" and I decided that I was going to use it. It is very similar to "La lengua de las mariposas", but has a connection to modern day. Here is the trailer (and here is the movie with auto generated subtitles):


If you are interested in resources for the movie, here is my (FREE) unit packet and here is a slideshow (also below) that walks through most of the unit. The Preguntas Esenciales (which help me and students think about what the BIG TAKEAWAYS are) are:

Preguntas Esenciales:
  • ¿Cómo impacta la historia de un país en la vida actual?
  • ¿Por qué es una buena educación importante? ¿Cómo impacta la educación de los niños a un país?
  • ¿Por qué es importante reconocer lo bueno y lo malo de la historia de un país?
And the Assessments are:
  • Una Discusión sobre la película "El maestro que prometió el mar".
  • Una Comparación Cultural: Compara algo cultural de la película "El maestro que prometió el mar" con algo de tu cultura. 
  • Un video sobre la dictadura de Franco: Contesta preguntas sobre el video.

  1. Thanks for sharing always your amazing resources. Did you purchase the movie "El maestro que..." in Spain or did you find it in the US? I can't find it in the US and I commissioned my sister to look for it in Italy but it's still in the movie theaters there as well.
