Resources to Teach about Ecuador

I know many of us plan units around a topic, theme, or studying a particular country so today I wanted to share with you a few resources to teach about Ecuador in your classroom! Just a quick note, there are so many amazing options out there, I tried to gather as many as I could, but if there’s something I’m missing, please feel free to drop a comment to help other teachers as they are planning!

Spanish Teachers from Ecuador

Make sure you check out these amazing authors and creators to see what they have shared!

• Verónica Moscoso
• Josefina Cabello of Mrs. Cabello’s Spanish Class

Readers Based in Ecuador

Just a head’s up – I haven’t read all of these, but I have read books by some of these authors that have been amazing!! The ones I have not read myself I found recommended in a Spanish teachers’ group online, from others who have used them. It’s always a good idea to preview a book before adding it to your library with your specific classroom and learners in mind!

• Todo lo que brilla
• Olivia y los monos 
• El rey Arthur
• Los ojos de Carmen 
• El capibara con botas

Websites and Video Resources to Teach about Ecuador

As always, I’d recommend checking these before showing them to your students. Just because it’s a good fit for one classroom doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit everywhere! I’ve also tried to list where they can be found now, but we know the internet is always changing on us, so hopefully if they’re not on that host any longer it might be found through a quick Google!

• Qué significan las pañoletas que lucían las dos medallistas olímpicas de Ecuador en Tokio from AnneMarie Chase
• El Kichwa en el Ecuador from Kara Kane Jacobs
• Otra leyenda ecuatoriana: El nacimiento del Río Amazonas from Kara Kane Jacobs
• Free Unit: La Importancia de la Educación para todos en Ecuador from Kara Kane Jacobs
• Meet the Misahuallí Monkeys (Youtube) – This is to go with Olivia y los monos!

Additional Resources
