Haz que dure is a Spanish 3 CI curriculum unit from the Huellas 1 curriculum sequence designed to build proficiency through culturally relevant themes, critical thinking, and comprehensible input. In this one‑to‑two‑week unit, students explore the fashion industry, with a particular focus on fast fashion, sustainability, and consumer responsibility. Through a fashion map unit hook and a sequence of scaffolded activities, students examine how clothing production impacts people, cultures, and the environment.
This proficiency-based Spanish 3 curriculum unit supports interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication as students engage with infographics, readings, and discussion tasks connected to real‑world issues. Learners build the language needed to describe processes, express opinions, and evaluate sustainability practices while developing cultural awareness. The unit culminates in a comprehensive IPA-style assessment that allows students to demonstrate growth across all three modes of communication.
Haz que dure can be used as a stand‑alone Spanish 3 thematic unit or as part of the full Huellas 1 curriculum sequence. The Huellas curriculum is designed for students in Spanish 3 and above and emphasizes meaningful communication through comprehensible input.

I really like that these Huellas units make students think about the way they live. It doesn't even feel like they are learning Spanish sometimes - and I mean that in the best way! They are exploring topics in Spanish, but we aren't focused on grammar.

Another great Huellas unit that gets students thinking, comparing/contrasting, and learning more than what's a couple of pages of vocabulary in a textbook. Thank you so much!

This is a well-written unit with high quality, ready-made activities and materials. I am learning a lot right alongside my students. I really enjoyed the day that we did the centers. Students were engaged in each of the activities, and I got to have great conversations with each small group of students (one of the centers is to have a conversation with the teacher, questions included). It was a nice opportunity to connect with my students more and to get a quick glimpse of where they all are in their speaking proficiency (I did not grade them...just made some mental notes). Thank you for another fabulous unit!!
