coolest unit ever. I LOVED learning about this when I visited Bolivia and it was so helpful to organize my memories into a premade unit for class

We just started this unit on Monday, and it is going VERY well! Thanks for this amazing unit that ties in an important cultural topic taking place in Bolivia.

My students were extremely engaged when learning about this material. This has to be one of my favorite SOMOS units!!! You will not be disappointed. I passed my first formal observation with flying colors last school year. Needless to say, my AP was amazed by the contents and quality of this lesson. THANK YOU MARTINA AND TEAM!

As always, this is an engaging unit. I find that the Somos materials I have used, this chapter included, give students of all ability levels a chance to participate and show what they know. The folder of "paperless" activities is especially helpful because I can post them to my Google classroom.
