We start Spanish 2 with El gaucho and it is just the right place to start. Excellent unit to review present tense.

Super detailed, and students enjoy the variety of activities. The teacher plans and notes are always helpful too.

Implementing the "Somos" Curriculum is one of the best decisions I have made as a teacher! My students are getting SO MUCH out of it!!!

I love this! I love Argentina and this rich, cultural unit is perfect to flesh out my "Cono sur" unit on Argentina/Uruguay/Paraguay/Chile. I also use Martina's Hombre más humilde mini unit and it works great too. The readings and other fun activities in this unit made it enjoyable for students to work with at home during distance learning, but I'm already incorporating it into plans for when we're IN the classroom next year too!
