“Carlos celebra” is available on Amazon or you can get digital access for all your students through My Generation of Polyglots.
“Carlos celebra” is the second book in the Carlos series. In the first chapter, he prepares a surprise birthday party for his friend and roommate. In the second chapter he attends a wedding hosted by his sister. In the third chapter, Carlos returns home to celebrate Christmas with his family.
As with the first book, I have created a blank template for students to personalize this book. You can download the PDF file below (Print as is! Once you fold it in half, it all lines up) or use this digital version. (Please remember to make your own copy of the digital version to make it editable).
I have left this student handout rather open ended. I know that not every person participates in celebrations. I wanted the students to have the liberty to tell about the celebrations most important to them. I also thought that this template could be a fun way for teachers to explore culturally relative celebrations. The entire class could learn about a specific celebration, such as Las Fallas, and then create a page in their book as if they went to the celebration.
What ideas do you have for this template? Let me know!
