Corona: Mexico's resonse to trump's Make america great again campaign

 My Grade 8 students have been reading the book El Viaje by Deb Navarre as part of their unit of study on the topic of Holidays. The main character in the story does a homestay with a Mexican family and I wanted to find an interesting video about Mexico to use in class. It is important to connect teaching and learning with what is happening in the world (MYP Global Context), and I was very excited to find the Corona advert (below) to share with my students. This advertisement by the Mexican beer company is a response to Donald Trump’s Make America Great campaign and it generated some passionate opinions and heated debate in the classroom. It was wonderful to see my students so motivated to speak Spanish about topical affairs and politics being used as a marketing campaign. Here is the worksheet I gave to my students to use alongside the video. I hope you find it useful.
