I used this in Spanish I and my colleague used it at the beginning of Spanish II. This was the first I had really targeted "nadie"...and it was a great unit for that.

I used the "El cortejo" and "Las cosas que dicen los novios" with my advanced (3-4) kids while they were reading "Selena"...it was a hit and great for the chapter about Selena & Chris! I love how those two activities are followed by an authentic reading about child development... ;) jejeje I plan to use the other materials with my level 2 class when they read "Robo en la Noche". SOMOS is always super!

THANK YOU...THANK YOU for making the worksheets paperless. I can now add them to my Google Classroom easy peasy!!!!! I hope you will be doing this with all your units. This is the most helpful and redeeming my time thing you could have done!!! I am teaching in person, but when kids are absent, I would like to put a mini assignment on Google Classroom for them to do as make-up. I was digitizing what we did in class and it was so time-consuming. THIS MADE MY DAY TO SEE THIS FOR THIS UNIT!!! Please consider doing it for all...from this overwhelmed, tired teacher!

When I first told my students they were going to be learning about el cortejo (and explained what that meant) they were weirded out. After starting the unit they quickly fell in love and all wanted to take turns being the cleptomano! :)

LOVE THIS LESSON from Martina! I was only able to use parts of it over the "Valentine Week" but the students LOVED IT and would be thrilled to do more since they are totally into the novio/novia stage!
