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.

Spanish Poetry Project | Research Presentation Essay | AP IB Spanish 3–5
Students choose a poet from the Spanish-speaking world, research their life and literary context, select a poem that speaks to them, and teach it to the class. The presentation runs 8–12 minutes.

Cuéntame—Spanish Story Project, Group Writing, Illustrations & Oral Presentation
¡Cuéntame! Tell us a story — in Spanish. This is one of my favorite projects of the year, and my students' too. Groups write, illustrate, and present an original story entirely in Spanish — then perform it live for the class, who scores them. It's creative, communicative, and genuinely fun. Best of all: it works. Students write for a real audience with real stakes. They care about getting it right because their classmates are the judges. ―――――――――――――――――――― ✅ WHAT'S INCLUDED • Student project h

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.
