Las Posadas
Great presentation for Navidad. Multimedia PPT presentation explaining the tradition of Las Posadas in Mexico. Also discussed are the festivals of similar origin "Novena de Aguinaldos" and "La Parranda." The slides are all in Spanish but at a very comprehensible level. I use this as an introduction before doing a simulation of Las Posadas with my upper level students.

"Si El Norte Fuera El Sur," Immigration, Imperfect Subjunctive
This is an activity that I developed for my Spanish 4 students. In our Unit on Immigration, we also work with the Imperfect Subjunctive. I teach that first, then introduce this. Later students will use the Imperfect Subjunctive to put themselves in the shoes of immigrants.
This Word Doc has key vocabulary and terms front loaded. There are also questions that promote higher order thinking. Also included are the song lyrics, a link to a Youtube version, and discussion questions at the end.
*Warning. The lyrics reference drugs, alcohol, topless bars, Lorena Bobbitt, and has the word "ramera." I recommend you look at the lyrics online before buying. I avoid the first verse and most of the chorus (where all of these are contained) and focus on the second verse. Also, the official video has a child urinating in a bucket and you can see his exposed buttocks. The video link I have included shows the album cover throughout the song.

El Alamo Introduction Powerpoint
This is a Powerpoint, completely in Spanish, that I use to introduce the events of the Texas Revolution. Could be used as an intro to TPRS novel Rebeldes de Tejas, although, for copyright reasons, it makes no reference to the book, just the historical events.
