This is one of the most fun units EVER! I used it at the end of the school year last year. It was great to have so many active things to do. It helped keep my too-cool 8th graders engaged at the end of the year.

Wonderful resource (as always!) Easy to implement, engaging, and I love the cross-curricular connection!

This unit is wonderful! I was not a good planner and started it too late in Spanish 2, so didn't have time to do everything. I am planning better this year in order to be more thorough. My students really enjoyed the game, readings, and activities that we did do.

A great unit that just about every student has some level of interest in. It keeps them engaged and provides great input. The lesson plans are thorough as always.

Fun unit! My students memorized Electricidad and sing it all the time MONTHS after we did the unit. They were so engaged and truly enjoyed the resources we used. Thanks!
