If you're looking for a different lesson, one that uses authentic and engaging resources, such as a TikTok video and a Spanish newspaper, you're in the right spot.
And it's all thanks to Andrea.
You may already know her. She's the wonderful presenter of our Cuatro tradiciones de Navidad video.
At the end of that video, Andrea sings El burrito sabanero.
Her voice is amazing.
Andrea, and her fantastic voice, made the headlines last Christmas.
Why? That's what your students will find out in El regalo de Navidad.
Authentic sources
Andrea's Christmas story was covered by the Spanish national television, as well as many national and international newspapers, both print and digital.
We've chosen an article from La Vanguardia (a Spanish newspaper) to explain what happened, after students try to guess the story in the warm-up.
The activities included in the lesson will help your students understand the short article.
And after the activities... It'll be time to watch and listen to Andrea's Christmas present, in her own TikTok channel.
A different video
Students from different schools sent us lots of questions after reading Andrea's story.
We forwarded some of those questions to Andrea, who made a video answering them naturally.
If you're looking for a video that uses natural and real language, this is it!
Andrea didn't use a script, she just answered those questions as if she was talking to those students face to face.
