Mini Lesson on The Sagrada Familia, Barcelona Spain



Teaching about culture!



I'm currently teaching my Spanish II students about their travel vocabulary and we're talking about Barcelona, Spain. One of the topics we've talked about is the famous architect Antonio Gaudi - this video is about "La Sagrada Familia" Gaudi's masterpiece which has been under construction for three centries.



This is a video about "the collapse of the Sagrada Familia" but its a video that was created to help gain support for people to complain about the government approving the construction of an under-ground train system, which would run right under the Sagrada Familia.



I could show my students this video and use it to spark a class discussion and even possibly have them write a e-mails supporting this organization.



They could find more information about this cause and the Sagrada Familia at: sossagradafamilia.org
