I’m having lots of fun finding #authres for my food unit. They may not all make it into a lesson this year, but here are some of my favorites:
Commericals
Have you seen this google doc Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell started? It’s full of links to Spanish-language commercials, with transcripts. I used it to put together this cloze activity for my classes: Food Commercials Clozes
Here are the videos I used:
Kara Jacobs also has a great collection of videos here.
Spanish Proficiency Exercises:
Oh, how I love this website! Here are the videos on the topic “Mi comida favorita.” We’re getting so much deeper than the textbook vocabulary, with cultural dishes – I can’t wait to talk about el picante de cuy with my students! Here is the activity I made to go with the videos: laits mi comida favorita
La Ogra – Gazpacho
Martina Bex brought this video to my attention last year. You can see the video and find an embedded reading activity here. I used it in Spanish 2 as part of cooking unit, and used Kara Parker’s idea for giving instructions on how to make it.
What are your favorite resources for teaching food?
