This video of a full lesson (also referenced in the Materials section of this site) was taken in an Intermediate Spanish II class at Yale University on March 1, 2017.

This lesson required students to think about the presence of Spanish-speaking students, visitors, and community members on campus and to collaborate on a Spanish-language guide to political and religious organizations at Yale.  Prior to the creation of this document via Google Docs, students were asked to reflect on general characteristics of politics and religion within their own cultural frameworks, as well as to critically examine political campaign advertisements from the 2016 general election in Spain.  Students also learned about the historical diversity of politics and religion in Spain through a map-reading activity of the city of Córdoba.  The culminating activity allowed students to reflect upon the diversity of political and religious views and practices represented on their own university campus, and thus to establish cross-cultural comparisons and recognize the importance of diversity at institutions of higher learning.  Please view the finished product above, as well as the full lesson plan and accompanying PowerPoint presentation, to view lesson objectives, materials, and scaffolding.
