I ❤️ teaching about stereotypes with #Laritza by @placidolanguage.bsky.social
It's easy for even novice Spanish learners to read; the issues it raises about racism are at a level that my 12 year olds can understand. It's one of my favorite units. #LangChat

An example of how I use #AuthRes #AuthenticTexts is that for the past several weeks my Spanish 1 students have been reading the CI novel #Laritza by Kristy Placido. One day, I asked them to read authentic infographics about Hispanics in the US. #LangChat

Preparing to teach #Laritza students read nonfiction texts in Spanish from people who are breaking stereotypes.

Spanish 1 will begin reading #Laritza by Kristy Placido next week. Starting a conversation about stereotypes today with this sweet little video about dogs.
