Welcome to chapter 5, “Nuestro pasado.” In previous chapters you’ve shared stories and perspectives about your current life in and out of school. In this chapter, you will share more about your past experiences. You will begin by identifying important moments in your past and discussing the ways those events and experiences have influenced your current circumstances. You will also read and listen to stories about others whose past experiences shaped their present context. Linguistically, this shift in time frames will give you an opportunity to experiment with the language skills you have developed so far and to implement new skills related to storytelling.
