Next week I’ll be using the Spanish Lottery video of Justino with materials from the Comprehensible Classroom. In order to preview the story I used a Mad Libs activity, generated by ChatGPT which I fined-tuned. Students worked with a partner: they first wrote the words on a list. Then they asked their partner for their words to fill in the text. They then read the completed text to their partner.
Here’s a free copy of the activity.
You can also do it together as a class by taking suggestions from the class, writing in their answers, and reading the story together.

Less than 50 days. Since many teachers out there are able to plan ahead, we want to you save the date for March 6. That’s when our 10th annual Spanish music tournament kicks off. The nationwide tournament of 16 hit songs from the past year is open to all Spanish classes where students cast their vote in our national polls to determine the song of year. Who will join last year’s hit Tacones Rojos from Sebastián Yatra?
