Spanish 3: Salud y Medicina

Salud y Medicina
We created this unit to fit into our “health” unit.  In order to have a cultural lead that would engage students, we focused on the topic of “curanderos”.  We knew that we would have access to #authres to support this and that the topic would be interesting to students as they learn something new.  Our old way of performing skits in the doctor’s office was not realistic for most of our students nor was it an opportunity for them to feel like they were learning anything more than simulated uses of Spanish.  Curanderismo is a topic in which they are willing to discuss because it’s new and different to them.
