Conclusion
This unit prepares students to face and understand the reading of an epic poem. Students will learn to analyze a text while interpreting images, listening to podcasts and videos and learning about history and culture. All in all, I believe that the work with this epic poem will lead to fundamental knowledge about the history of Spain and will make students enjoy reading epic poems as they will have gained insight in how to work with them throughout this unit. Hopefully, while working this didactic unit the students will feel more comfortable when reading in Spanish too and they will be more interested in finding out more about Spanish-speaking countries.
