Spanish Imperfect Tense Project | Era una época en que | Spanish 2–4
Students choose a historical era from the Spanish-speaking world — Al-Ándalus, the Siglo de Oro, the Aztec Empire, Cuba Colonial, Argentina del Tango, and 9 more — research it across 8 cultural categories, write a reflective essay in the imperfect tense, and present to the class using a visual slide deck. Every student gets a different era. No repeats. This is the imperfect tense project that actually sticks — because students are describing a world, not completing a worksheet. WHAT'S INCLUDED ✔

Como Agua Para Chocolate | Alternative Ending Film Project-Spanish | IB AP CLT
Your students just finished Como Agua Para Chocolate. Now they rewrite it. In groups, they write an alternative ending — dramatic, unexpected, funny, completely their own — then film it, present it, and create a movie poster to go with it. The room gets loud in a good way. This project has been one of my favorite units to teach at the end of the novel. Students are genuinely invested because it's their story now. The grammar requirements are built in — they use the language, not just study it.

Teaching style
My teaching is communicative, project-based, and built around authentic materials. Novels, music, film, poetry, and real cultural texts drive my upper-level classes. Students speak, discuss, create, and reflect. Grammar lives inside meaningful context, not on a worksheet.
