Material Detail

¡Cine con clase! is a selection of short scenes from several Spanish movies together with script (optional), vocabulary in English and in Spanish, pictures, follow-up activities and links to cultural, bibliographical, and historical data.

This site is a must for those educators who are looking to incorporate the sights and sounds of Spain and Latin America into their classroom activities, and for those who strongly believe in the importance of authentic language learning and in the effectiveness of activities designed by classroom teachers themselves.

¡Cine con clase! is a collaborative project created between 2003 and 2006 by multiple groups from the University of Virginia lead by Prof. David T. Gies: the Spanish Department, the Digital Media Lab de Clemons Library, the Curry School of Education, and the Center for the Liberal Arts. It is sponsored by National Endowment for the Humanities, and one hundred teachers from the state of Virginia were invited to participate in this project twice to contribute ideas and activities.  ¡Cine con clase! is an outstanding resource for the educator of the new millenium.
