This entertaining lesson plan and worksheet were designed to catch the attention of my teenage Spanish students but could easily be enjoyed by students of any nationality. The reading material is light-hearted and engaging, so it should catch the interest of most adult and teen groups with many opportunities for relaxed speaking practice and discussion.
