Spooky Spanish: Interactive Ghost Dog Duel (Comparatives)

Spooky Spanish: Interactive Ghost Dog Duel (Comparatives)

Meet El Cadejo, the ghostly dog from Central American folklore. There are two of them: a white cadejo with blue eyes who walks you safely home at night, and a black cadejo with red eyes who wants to scare you. In this 15–20 minute interactive lesson, Year 7–8 students compare the two dogs and use comparatives (más… que, menos… que, tan… como) to work out which path each one is on.
