Today my AP students will do what they do every Wednesday–give a 2-minute oral presentation based on a print source and an audio source, involving some type of synthesis and persuasion.
Our current unit (in my own curriculum) is called “Un Pasado que Me Construyó” and is intended to practice and develop command of the past tenses and discuss how our pasts affect who we are today. Today’s topic is “Consecuencias,” in other words, how our actions can have consequences.
Our print source is from theonlinemom.com and is about texting while driving. Our audio (video) source is a YouTube clip about alcoholism in Mexico, particularly in D.F.
It took me maybe 15 minutes to find these, and they’re a lot more interesting than what’s in Triángulo (which we are using as a supplement), IMO.
