My classes took a small break from massive Spanish input (it is May, the exhaustion is real) and watched this English language documentary: Day in the Life of an Amazon Jungle Tribe by Gareth Leonard. One of my classes broke out in spontaneous applause as we finished– it really is a good documentary. It is 28 minutes long and free on Youtube.
After viewing we completed one of my tiny daily readings based on the video. You can download the text here. We did this reading in level 2 only. If you like the tiny daily reading format, check out my two books full of 1-2 page cloze texts that feature full glossaries and activities to promote active reading:
