About this title

Synopsis

Filmed on location in 5 different Spanish-speaking countries--Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain--each of the nine 8- to 10-minute episodes correlates by function and theme to the textbook chapters. A mix of interviews and documentary-like segments exposes students to the influences of geography and ethnicity in the everyday lives of Hispanics while building students' awareness of culture through contrast, comparison, and highlighting of practices and products. To support independent and classroom viewing, varied pre- and post-viewing activities appear in the student text following each even-numbered chapter.
