Same topic — Cuban Missile Crisis
En octubre de 1962, aviones espía estadounidenses fotografiaron misiles nucleares soviéticos instalados en Cuba. Aunque Kennedy quería responder con firmeza, sabía que un ataque podía provocar una guerra mundial.

Same topic — Cuban Missile Crisis
Durante trece días de octubre de 1962, la humanidad se asomó al abismo de una catástrofe nuclear. Las decisiones tomadas en los despachos de Washington y Moscú —medidas con horas, no con días— definieron el equilibrio del poder global durante décadas.
Every module ships at all three levels — pick one for the whole class, or let students self-select.
"I used to spend two hours every Sunday finding an authentic text, writing vocab lists, and making comprehension questions. Now I just pick a module and I'm done."

Built around what Spanish teachers actually need
Designed with high school Spanish teachers to fit the realities of the classroom.
The "culture" requirement
AP Spanish, IB, and most state standards require students to compare cultures and explore global challenges. Our modules — the Cold War, the Dirty War, the Mexican Revolution — map directly to these units. No more scrambling for authentic resources that fit the rubric.
AP SpanishIBGlobal ChallengesContemporary Life
Any class — single-level or mixed
Every topic comes at three CEFR levels — A2 (Intermediate Prep), B1 (Intermediate Core), and B2 (AP Prep). Pick one for the whole class, or let students self-select. Same assignment, true differentiation, no doubled workload.

NewSpanish Debates
Two sides, one topic — the AP free-response practice you've been missing

Models the claim-evidence-reasoning structure students need for AP persuasive writing and ACTFL interpersonal communication.

How our levels map to your classroom
CEFR, ACTFL, and AP — side by side
We use CEFR levels (A2–B2) for international consistency, and pair every level with the US classroom equivalent your department already uses.
| CEFR | US Classroom Label | ACTFL Equivalent | Focus Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| A2 | Intermediate Prep | Novice High / Intermediate Low | Building the narrative — past tenses, basic "who/what/where." |
| B1 | Intermediate Core | Intermediate Mid | Connecting ideas — "because," "although," "therefore." |
| B2 | Advanced / AP Prep | Intermediate High / Advanced Low | Abstract thought — debating ethics, politics, and "why." |
