Spanish: Los Animales de América del Sur (South American Animals)
WOW Lesson
Join our Languages expert, Kate Clifton, as she shares this series of engaging Languages lessons to teach more about why people speak Spanish in Central and South America. This is a standalone lesson, or it could be included as part of a wider topic of the history of colonisation or when looking at different ecosystems and/or rivers around the world. The lesson could be squeezed into a one-hour slot, but it would be better to spread it over at least 2 hours. Alternatively, it could be divided into 3-4x 45-minute lessons or 4-5x 30-minute lessons. Possible places to end and start the lessons are given in the lesson plan.
