I created this video with my ELL students in mind. At the beginning of the year, we as teachers try to learn a little something about our students. They want to know about us, too. This video teaches a bit about my culture. I based my digital story on the country where my family is from, Spain.
The friendly format of this video and the idea that it has personal images from one of our vacations back to Madrid, is sure to keep students engaged. They will be able to learn something about their teacher's culture. My digital story teaches about three important characteristics of Spanish culture: authentic foods, sights and attractions, and the World Cup.
The purpose of this digital story is to introduce a new (or different) culture to students as an introduction at the beginning of the school year. Then, students can share their cultures and backgrounds with the class.
