Ask students to include information about their prominence in the media, involvement in politics, and general popularity. Have pairs present their comparisons to the class. This activity may have to be done using English. Culture Note Explain to students that the concept la familia in Spanish-speaking countries is somewhat more inclusive than it is in English. When people say la familia, the majority of them are referring to their extended family. Extended families, if they do not live in the same dwelling, tend to live in closer geographical proximity in Latin America than they do in the U.S. and Canada. 1 Teaching Tip As you review the answers, ask students to compare the information with their own communities. For example, ask if people in the U.S. also use two surnames, and if so, how they write them. 2 Teaching Tips • Point out that in the U.S. there are no set rules for how a hyphenated last name will read, that is whether the first name refers to the mother’s maiden name or to the father’s name. Couples typically decide the order they prefer when they marry. Ask students with hyphenated names which parent their last names refer to. • The average age at which adult children in the U.S. leave home is 24. In Europe, the average age is between 20 and 23, while in Spain, over 50% of adults between 25 and 29 live with their parents. 3 Teaching Tip You may want to suggest some of the topics for students to include such as: last names, the ages of adult children living at home, reasons for living at home, family size in the present, family size in the past, reasons for family size now. Encourage students to include cultural aspects about their own families. Perfil The term infanta is the title given to the daughters of Spanish monarchs who are not in line to the throne.
