Corrida de Toros & Bullfighting Culture Unit

This unit was created to increase students' cultural awareness of both The Running of the Bulls and the Spanish tradition of bullfighting. Amidst the culture, there are also opportunities for students to apply Spanish vocabulary and grammar concepts in a variety of activities. One of the highlights of this unit is the Corrida de Toros board game which serves as a summative activity to the unit and tests students cultural knowledge.

The readings and activities in this unit can be used with a variety of levels and in a variety of ways. Jigsaws, stations, extension learning, substitute lesson plans, and classwork/homework are just a few ways in which this unit could be delivered.

This cultural unit aligns with the ACTFL indicators for cultural knowledge. There are also activities that align with the Novice or Intermediate indicators for language indicators. Activities are on separate pages so that you can print the ones you like or are most appropriate for your level of Spanish student.
