Useful Information- This was information gleaned from NUMEROUS emails during Spring 2020- please reach out to individual websites to see about subscriptions/ plans. PWRFL does not represent nor promote any of these specifically- we are only trying to provide resources to help during this difficult time!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(From Jen Degenhart who has previously presented at a PWRFL conference) Please feel free to share this comprehensible reader that I wrote in the last four days especially for this period of quarantine.  it's an interactive document.

We know that PlayPosit is a tool that is increasingly important to members of our community that are being impacted by the virus. As a result, our team is taking immediate action to ensure our product is accessible to as many people as possible by raising our free account limits 100x through the remainder of the school year. For context, this limit now covers 450+ learners daily, even if used every weekday of the month.

We hope that you and your learners stay healthy and safe. In the meantime, the team at PlayPosit has made additional resources available here.

For Spanish, this short film from Chile, No hay pan, could work for secondary level students.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gw_39ZEYUM

I haven't found it with English subtitles but students can turn on the Spanish subtitles.

They wouldn't have to understand all the subtitles to catch the gist of the film. It's about the plight of the small business owner (the owner of an almacén) when the supermarket comes to the neighborhood. 

No hay pan

The short film, Casitas, from Spain could also work. It's humorous / satirical and deals with the problem of high unemployment among the youth in Spain.
