The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry (audio recording)
O. Henry's classic tale of mutual sacrifice for the sake of love is a fine piece of literature to introduce to one's scholars.

Spanish short story audio for listening comprehension
The audio is an easy to access audio MP3 file that can be listened and downloaded, then shared on Google Classroom, Schoology and other school sites.This is an authentic and original short story I recorded. I use it as a listening comprehension activity for Spanish 2, 3 both native and non-native speakers. I believe it can also be a resource for native and advanced Spanish 1 speakers. I use these as a warm-up activity at the beginning of class. I suggest students listen to the story at least twi
