Description

Parecidos is a Spanish 3 CI curriculum unit from the Huellas 1 Spanish Curriculum sequence designed to build proficiency through visual storytelling and meaningful, comprehensible input. In this one‑to‑two‑week unit, students engage with a high‑interest commercial featuring a baby who resembles everyone in the family, providing a compelling context for discussing family resemblance, descriptions, and past events.

This proficiency-based Spanish 3 curriculum unit uses a clip chat approach to support interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication. Students develop language in context as they describe people, make comparisons, and communicate about events using scaffolded listening, reading, speaking, and writing activities. While the unit naturally supports work with past‑time narration and descriptive structures, instruction remains firmly grounded in comprehensible input and communication rather than isolated grammar practice.

Parecidos can be used as a stand-alone Spanish 3 thematic unit or as part of the full Huellas 1 Spanish curriculum sequence. The unit is designed for novice‑high to intermediate‑low learners and can easily be extended for more advanced students by adjusting question types and output expectations.
