Each year, I wait with great anticipation to see what story the National Lottery Commission will share through their annual anuncio for the National Spanish Christmas Lottery. These stories, told in short films, are a great teaching tool to use in class to promote a spirit of generosity and community among our students.
Over the last five or so years, it has become a tradition for me and other teacher-bloggers, like Kara Jacobs and Arianne Dowd, to create and share materials for you to use when teaching with these commercials–and 2020 is no different.
Share the 2020 anuncio with your students
The 2020 anuncio is perfect for use in language classes due to the repetition that is built into the storyline. As my holiday gift to you, I am sharing a simple set of lesson plans that you can use with classroom and livestream learners and in both synchronous and asynchronous virtual settings.
Happy holidays, and may you be well and stay well this season.
