Think, reflect, and discuss.
Pre- and post-reading activities encourage personal reflection, peer discussion, and emotional engagement—all ideal for deepening communicative competence.
Flexible for varied classroom uses.
Use these readers in teen/adult classes, Spanish-for-young-adults modules, independent reading, or to enrich any intermediate Spanish curriculum.
1. “Mi voz interior” Monologues
Students write and perform short monologues from the main character’s point of view—reflecting on key moments (a breakup, a decision, a confession).
Focus: Past tense narration, expressing emotions, reflective language.
2. Advice Column: “Querido diario…”
Turn story conflicts into anonymous letters asking for advice (like an “Ask Abby” column). Peers write responses using conditional:
“Deberías…”
Focus: Persuasive writing, giving advice, empathy in language.
3. Scene Rewrites
In pairs or groups, students rewrite a key scene from a different perspective (another character or in an alternate ending). Perform or storyboard it.
Focus: Dialogues, vocabulary expansion, creative use of structures.
4. Text-to-Self Connection Posters
After reading a chapter, students create a mini-poster connecting a theme to their own life: “Una vez me pasó algo parecido…”
Focus: Personal storytelling, connections between text and self, using sequencing.
5. Inner vs. Outer Voice
Choose a key moment in the story and have students script two speech bubbles: what the character says out loud vs. what they’re really thinking.
Focus: Contrastive thinking, expressing emotion, nuance in language.
6. Soundtrack for a Chapter
Students choose a Spanish-language song to represent a scene or emotion in the story. They present the lyrics and justify why it fits the moment.
Focus: Cultural comparison, thematic analysis, vocabulary from songs.
