To spark interest in the Spanish language through an exploration of "libros" (books) and their cultural significance in Spanish-speaking countries.
Prepare three mystery boxes that each contain an object related to a specific Spanish-speaking book or author. For instance:
Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students and assign each group to a mystery box.
Invite each group to open their mystery box simultaneously. Allow them 5 minutes to discuss and guess how their object relates to books or literature.
Once groups have had time to converse, have each group present their object to the class, sharing their guesses and any Spanish vocabulary they can associate with their ideas.
Transition to the lesson by revealing to the class that each object is connected to a wider world of books in Spanish. Briefly introduce key Spanish-speaking authors, their iconic works, and their cultural impact. Relate this to the upcoming activities, which will include reading excerpts, discussing themes, and even exploring the genres of these works.
This engaging introduction will set a dynamic tone for the lesson, inviting students to explore the rich literary tradition in Spanish-speaking cultures while practicing critical thinking and collaborative skills.
