Confesión a Laura

A complete Spanish lesson plan for Confesión a Laura — ready to open and teach.

Two strangers — a man and a woman who barely know each other — are trapped in an apartment in Bogotá during the chaos that followed the assassination of Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. Jaime Osorio Gómez builds enormous intimacy from a small situation, and the Spanish is quiet, careful, and charged with everything neither character says aloud.

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 Confesión a Laura 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.
