Flash cultura IM 5 Flash cultura videos feature young broadcasters from across the Spanish- speaking world sharing aspects of life related to each lesson’s theme. These segments provide valuable cultural insights as well as linguistic input, while introducing students to a variety of accents and vocabulary. • While-viewing: Show the video segment with the audio turned off and ask students to use the lesson vocabulary and structures to describe what is happening. Have them watch the segment with audio to confirm their hypotheses. • Post-viewing: Have students identify a topic they found interesting from the video segment. Then have them research additional information about that topic and write a brief composition that expands on it. Preparación activities activate students’ knowledge by asking about their own experience with topics related to the Flash cultura segment. Escoger provides suggestions for implementing the post-viewing student activity provided. Teaching Options Go deeper into the content with activities that expand on the themes explored in the Flash cultura and build student excitement around contemporary culture in Spanish-speaking countries.
