Martina Bex does the impossible. This unit takes a video that had me very confused after watching and made it comprehensible to my students. WOW!

I love the embedded readings and I thought they very much helped my students to understand the video.

This was such an interesting unit! I really loved how deep the topic got it as we continued throughout the story! I used with my level 3 class!

Lots of great discussions about what makes one happy. There was an interest in what and how the hombre feliz could be. As always the somos curriculum is great.

Students love the stories. They are engaging and students are able to self-reflect and share with classmates their thoughts
