My students loved learning about the towers and really enjoyed being able to watch the video at the end of the unit. Everything was appropriate in this unit and I appreciate that.

I really enjoy getting to bring these cultural units into my classroom. They engage the students well and often I learn something new while they begin to master new structures.

I love the way this curriculum weaves together stories to make vocabulary learning easy and natural. I've been using the SOMOS Flex curriculum for my homeschooled students, but the regular curriculum adds extra fun, interest, and exposure in the classroom. With this unit, I LOVE the material on the Castells of Tarragona - and so do my students!
Deanna M. -
I love using the traditional SOMOS plans and this one is no exception. This unit offers great stories to teach the Core vocabulary and the cultural element. These plans have clear instructions and provide rich content for language learners.

I LOVE this unit! THe best one yet. My students have found this super engaging, and some of the kids have even been watching Castells videos on their own time. Again, I am so impressed at how well they are learning and using the vocabulary.
