In this blog post, Mike Peto shares a lesson or sequence of lessons on García Márquez's short story. He has used this in a fourth year high school class but he now uses it with heritage students only. He starts with an embedded reading to make the text more accessible, although you could also consider pre-teaching vocabulary or promoting the use of various reading skills to tackle the linguistic challenges students may encounter while reading the text. He then shows a 10-minute excerpt of the 1998 version of the film before moving on to analyzing the short story. There is a document with all the activities included and some possible extension activities like puzzles and games.
