Ask your students if they prefer dogs or cats, and this is what you'll get:
Some prefer dogs.
Some prefer cats.
Some don't mind; they love both.
Some don't like either, and they'll tell you why: because they have allergies, or because they can't have pets in their rented home.
What you won't get are bored expressions and rolling eyes.
You'll have engaged students!
It's an awesome starting point to dive into grammar.
But there's much more than just a starting point.
We designed a complete series of lesson plans to teach key Spanish grammar topics with the help of some furry friends.
The Story: A tough choice
Every unit includes a fun video with a common thread.
Your students will meet Sebastián, a young guy from Mexico.
He wants a pet, but he has a dilemma: he doesn't know if a cat or a dog is better.
To decide, he talks to two good friends:
-
Fernanda (Colombia): She has a cat and adores him.
-
Lucía (Spain): She has a dog and wouldn't trade him for anything.
In each unit, they debate a different topic:
They discuss pet care, which animal is more sociable, which is better for a small apartment, and which is the best travel buddy.
Flexible, ready-to-use materials
Each lesson includes:
-
A fun central video featuring the story and short songs.
-
A series of ready-to-use activities (pre, during, and post-viewing).
