Casi Casi

A complete Spanish lesson plan for Casi Casi — ready to open and teach.

A Puerto Rican teenager navigates the very specific politics of high school — a new school, a crush he cannot quite approach, and a social landscape that rewards a version of himself he isn't sure he wants to be. The film's Spanish is contemporary, regional, and adolescent in the best possible way.

Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in Casi Casi and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.

Everything is included: the teacher’s guide, student worksheets in Spanish, and an answer key.
