Teaching or revising Guillermo del Toro’s El laberinto del fauno can be highly rewarding, but students often need structured support to move beyond retelling the plot. Whether they are preparing for A-Level Spanish Paper 2, developing cultural-analysis skills for AP Spanish Language and Culture, exploring Spanish-language cinema for AP Spanish Literature and Culture, or studying the film in an advanced Spanish course, students need to analyse themes, characters, symbolism, cinematography and historical context while developing a clear argument in Spanish.
