I love when students reach levels 3 and 4 and have enough language under their belts that we can begin using our Spanish to learn content. Talking about Big Ideas is so rewarding and rigorous in the second language. And this is such a big question. What DO we do with our trash? Landfill? Illegal dump? Burn? Float it out to the ocean?

This BBC News Documentary takes a look at two countries – Paraguay and Sweden and compares their differing views on both trash AND the environment.

This 27 page mini-unit is jam-packed with authentic resources and includes:

• a documentary viewing guide with hook,
• a Venn comparison,
• stations,
• a writing assessment,
• and a project with speaking assessment.
