A fine introduction for English kids. As someone who has lived and taught in the south of Spain for over 20 years, I would say, while slightly flawed, it's a good introduction to the topic for English children. I've never seen people dance in the street at this time of year, true; but some rural areas have very local traditions which may include this. And no, we don't have chocolate bunnies/eggs here (though I could not speak for other parts of Spain). Still, it achieves its objective; to give an introduction to the topic and raise awareness of the cultural differences between the two countries at this time of year while practising some relevant Spanish vocabulary. It is not, after all, designed as a guide for someone preparing a Masters on Spanish religious culture. While I agree with Ramarcas that it is better to be accurate, to split hairs is quite unnecessary. Put it in perspective.

not an accurate vision of Semana Santa. I completly agree with ramarcas this presentation doesn't show the real picture of Semana Santa in Spain. In some areas people have "monas de Pascua" (is a traditional Easter cake with an egg), other cities have "torrijas" (a kind of bread pudding). Traditionally this festival had a very solemn atmosphere now things are slightly different.

Can't wait to use it.. Thanks for this powerpoint. I would ignore the previous comment, I thought it was a bit rude! I think it will be very useful.
