This is a writing or speaking prompt I’m making available as a follow-up to my upcoming presentation called “Prompts with Power.” Prezi coming soon.
The prompt is:
¿Deben los jóvenes salir con novios en el colegio?
My favorite audio source for this is from Patito Feo, a teen drama out of Argentina – it’s a good glimpse of the manipulation that can come from immature relationships (and my students love the use of “super friend”)
And the print source is an article from EPA.
Another possible audio source (but I didn’t want them both to be about pregnancy):

Gallery Blitz: High-energy novel review

I hope I can find a way to squeeze this into my Spanish 2 class! Do you think I could adapt it for that level? I need prompts more like this than the future/college-oriented ones I've been trying to pull off.
Yeah, definitely–you can adapt them to Spanish 1. I'm about to post an example of prompts for levels 1-4. The key to lowering the level is to focus what you want them to hear on the audio and replay and replay it, perhaps with a cloze script. So on the audio I want them to hear the three reasons he's dating her, and the request to keep it a secret (they should be able to get 'secreto' and you can give the vocab word 'odia' w/o English even, by saying it's the opposite of 'ama'-they usually know that one. And on the print source focus on a few key sentences and point them out. Overachievers will do more, and that's great, but everyone can get something from authentic sources.
