Con Ganas de Triunfar

A complete Spanish lesson plan for Con Ganas de Triunfar — ready to open and teach.

Jaime Escalante walks into a Los Angeles classroom where no one expects anything to happen — and refuses to accept that. Con Ganas de Triunfar (Stand and Deliver) is one of the best films ever made about what a teacher can actually do.

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 Con Ganas de Triunfar 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.
