¿Qué me asusta?
I consider myself to be a strong person, but there are still many things that scare me. Most things that scare me are pretty typical, like horror movies, and the dark.

Important vocabulary in the story includes: “me asusta” (scares me), “miedo” (fear), “espantoso” (scary), “escalofrío” (shiver), “oscuridad” (darkness), “patas” ...

Francisco de Goya
One of my favorite Spanish artists is Francisco de Goya.

This story is in the third person and past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includ...

Dentro de la cueva
Mexico has cenotes and Belize has caves. Both of these spaces were sacred to the Mayan people, serving as places to connect with the gods as well as entrances into Xibalba, the Mayan underworld. While in Belize, I entered three caves: one on a tube, one in a canoe, and one on foot. All three were filled with water and were places of offerings to the Mayan gods, yet each cave was also very unique. This story is in the first person and past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “...

Los reyes de plata
The state of Colorado exists in large part because of the gold and silver rush that began in 1858. Many ruins of abandoned mining towns and operations can be found throughout the Rocky Mountains. Few people actually became rich, but one family in Colorado experienced a monumental rise in wealth. However, like most mining endeavors, the “boom” was quickly followed by a “bust”. This story is in the third person and past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “oro” (gold), “plata” ...

Told Faster: Maradona y la mano de Dios
Every four years the FIFA World Cup attracts a world-wide audience. And every FIFA World Cup also attracts controversy. Forty years ago, in 1986, the games in Mexico had their fair share of controversy, as well as amazing moments, surrounding Diego Maradona. Maradona is one of the greatest footballers, or soccer players, of all time. He started playing professionally just before his 16th birthday. He was already a popular player when he arrived at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. However, it wou...

El viaje largo
Adrian is not looking forward to the long drive to his grandparents’ house. It takes forever and is so boring. But maybe this trip will be more interesting.
