Dive in with us to a movie talk (clip chat) based around an amazing song and music video. Bajo la mesa is the perfect way to get your students into a chat about art and artists. It provides opportunities for students to learn to describe things in detail (an amazing AP skill). With suggested grammar topics, vocabulary, and a full face to face and remote lesson plan, this is a unit you can use as-is to save two weeks of planning!

My students really like the song this is based around and the cultural tie-in with all the artwork is great. I also love the idea of the Imit-arte project. I haven't done that piece with a group yet but I am looking forward to it.

This unit is so well put together and very engaging. All of my students love it, especially my native students. For some reason this is always their favorite unit.

What's not to love about classic art and Morat?? Students found this fun and it was great to pair up with the art teacher at my high school as well. Across the curriculum learning!

I love the resources from Huellas! This one is great because I love incorporating art into my world language class. The discussion questions, biographies and pieces of art are so well tied together. It's a great resource!

The music video was impressive to my students and the lessons organized around it were engaging and just the right amount of challenge.
