The idea of familism is prevalent in Spanish-speaking countries. I think I could use this in my class during the family unit. I can have students analyze the family unit in a spanish-speaking film, and compare it to their own families to bring to light their personal stories. I would start by sharing the dynamics in my family and they could share their response as an exit ticket. The next day, we could have a discussion about their families for the students who feel comfortable sharing.
