In this second lesson on Volver, we explore the contrast between the film’s two main settings: the quiet, superstitious life of a small town in La Mancha and the hustle and bustle of a city like Madrid. This lesson covers:

• ¿Dónde está La Mancha?

• La importancia de lo rural y lo urbano

• Volver, una película furiosamente manchega

• Entre molinos y caminos - Don Quijote de La Mancha

• Comportamiento de los personajes según el espacio

• Planning and writing your first essay

  • Range of grammar and vocabulary

  • How to plan your first essay (includes essay title with sample planning).

• Homework - 5 essay titles given for students to choose and write their first essay. 

In total, the resource contains 14 activities, all with complete answer keys, as well as a homework task to extend learning beyond the classroom.
