Cinco Días Sin Nora

A complete Spanish lesson plan for Cinco Días Sin Nora — ready to open and teach.

Nora has died, and she's arranged everything so that her ex-husband — who still hasn't spoken to her in years — has to handle the Jewish burial. Mariana Chenillo's debut is a dark comedy about grief, guilt, and the impossibility of closure.

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 Cinco Días Sin Nora 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.

Classic catalog plan — may not include every activity found in our newest releases.
