El Camino de Santiago is one of the most interesting cultural features of Spain!  This interactive Google Slides Presentation designed to be presented in Spanish uses beautiful images and Pear Deck to engage Spanish students in a lesson about what the Camino is and why different people make the trek. Slides contain speaker notes to guide you in what to tell students about El Camino.  The presentation and interactive student questions are designed to be in Spanish, but it is easily editable if you would like to change it to English!

In addition to the presentation, there are 4 activity suggestions.  First is a 3-page article about El Camino de Santiago written in Spanish.  Next, I suggest showing a portion of the movie “The Way” with Martin Sheen.  Unfortunately, this movie is only in English, which is why I only show a portion of it.  But the scenery and the message of the movie are so worth it!!  After students see a portion of the movie, there are group discussion questions about the movie included.  I linked in my Extempore activity under the written questions- feel free to email me if you would like to know more about that website!  Last, I have students write the next scene of the movie!  They must demonstrate the spirit of El Camino and some elements of what they’ve learned about El Camino in their writing.

This is a great cultural activity for more advanced Spanish students, and it goes perfectly with the AP Unit 5: Factors that Influence our Quality of Life!
