I have a link in here to a recording of the story too that they can do for listening practice! There are a bunch of other short stories on this site as well. http://college.cengage.com/languages/spanish/burgy/album/3e/students/audio/1/track01.mp3 Enjoy!

Any of you Spanish teachers out there have a good idea for a short story that I can have my students read throughout the next 2 weeks? It could have something to do with the winter season, las Posadas, or basically anything interesting that they will like. I'm looking for a story for each of my levels (2nd year and 4th year). Thank you! Lisa
