Teachers Like You Are Saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I used this along with the movie as sub plans. The sections of questions, vocabulary, and other movie activities kept students engaged and made them enjoy the movie better because of what they learned from the activities in the packet.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resources for a great movie. I especially appreciate all of the background information that the students can read before watching the movie. Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ¡Absolutamente fantástico! I used only part of this VERY extensive and varied packet of activities for a week long cultural extravaganza around Day of the Dead in my Spanish 3 and Spanish 4 Honors classes. It is really wonderful, very thoughtfully prepared and much more material than I could actually use (this year, anyway). The very best part is that it is completely in Spanish, and at a comprehensible level for the intermediate Spanish student. The activities were great companions for thoughtful extension of ideas while watching the movie. Thanks so much!
