I actually used this in level 4 Spanish! We read La Guerra Sucia and I used the video and transcript and song even with them. Yes, it was simple for them, but it served as good, basic information before reading more authentic materials and articles online. (Just having the video and song suggestions were a huge help.) I was also able to use this in spring 2020 when we weren't reading the novel but students were fully asynchronous.

Another great resource that I purchased for my level 4/5 students. They were expected to learn many complex, historical issues in this level but never had a CI based curriculum. This allowed them to learn about these issues in SPANISH at a level that was very comprehensible for them. A nice variety of activities to explore this topic.

My students loved learning about las Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo and they want to learn more about the Dirty War. My students are eager to read a novel about the Dirty War.

I used this to supplement a human rights unit that I was doing with my Spanish 4 class. I know this is part of the Somos 1 curriculum, but it was easy to use at a higher level. MY students loved it.

This is a great resource to go along with reading La Guerra Sucia. It held my students attention. They were so interested in the topic and I heard a lot of, "Why isn't this ever talked about in History class?"
