Huracanes en el Caribe

Use this three day mini-unit to teach your students about hurricanes in the Caribbean: why is it that they occur so often in that region, and how do they affect Caribbean life? Students in late Spanish 1 will be able to understand all readings.

Includes:

a one page reading worksheet that includes a reading in Spanish to introduce students to the topic and can be used as an activity or an assessment
a 20 page reading slideshow in Spanish with pictures to further explore the topic
a class discussion activity with math extension
a song with lyrics activity
an authentic reading with comprehension questions
a whole-class game to review and reinforce learning
an optional group discussion/speaking activity
daily warm-ups
detailed lesson plans
answer keys
a slideshow in PDF and editable PPT format that contains all warm-ups and readings

I teach this unit as a follow-up to Unit 22 of the Somos curriculum for Spanish 1, Los Tres Cerditos. All major vocabulary for this cultural unit is pre-taught in the Los Tres Cerditos unit.

This unit works well as an addition to any weather unit or geographical unit about the Caribbean.
