Huellas 1.8 Dame, dame chocolate

Dame, dame chocolate is a Spanish 3 CI curriculum unit from the Huellas 1 curriculum sequence designed to build proficiency through global themes, meaningful discussion, and comprehensible input. In this one‑to‑two‑week unit, students explore sustainability, chocolate production, and environmental impact while developing the language needed to explain how cacao is grown, produced, and protected.

This proficiency-based Spanish 3 curriculum unit invites students to think critically about sustainability and global citizenship. From an engaging unit hook involving chocolate tasting to a final assessment in which students design a wrapper for their own sustainable chocolate brand, learners use Spanish to communicate about environmental effects, ethical production, and responsible consumer choices. Instruction is grounded in comprehensible input and focuses on real communication rather than isolated grammar practice.

Dame, dame chocolate can be used as a stand-alone Spanish 3 thematic unit or as part of the full Huellas 1 curriculum sequence. The unit is appropriate for late‑intermediate learners and aligns naturally with sustainability and global awareness goals.
