New to teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture®?  Make Back To School easier and consider your Unit 1 Lesson Plans (Familias en diferentes sociedades) done!  These digital AND printable lesson plans have nearly every activity you will need linked in.  Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Activities that combine 2 skills, homework, assessments and even a project are all included! Students will learn how to complete the AP® Exam Cultural Comparison in this unit as well as practice the reading and listening multiple choice style questions.  This is the first unit in the AP® Classroom curriculum and a great way to get the year started with your new students!  Best of all, these lesson plans do NOT require that you have a particular textbook!

Feedback from Other Buyers

***Thank you so much for creating these! They are so helpful to have in class. My students were very engaged.****

Teaching a new course, or even trying to revamp a course you’ve taught for a while can be overwhelming.  These lesson plans will take you through the entire first unit for Families in Different Societies, starting with a “Hook Activity” to spark interest and then the essential questions, vocabulary list and grammar study guide you will need to get started. Every activity you need (with the exception of 3) is linked in.  Your prep will be limited to reviewing the lesson plans and sources ahead of your students, but the searching for appropriate authentic materials and creating accompanying activities is already done for you! Download the learning objectives and activity count here!

I am fortunate to have several textbook resources including Temas and Avance.  In these lesson plans I make use of these textbooks for 3 out of 50 activities.  However, especially after teaching on-line for a year, I have moved away from relying on textbooks and I create most of the activities myself. This makes these lesson plans very versatile and usable for anyone!  For teachers who need or like to teach digitally, all of the activities in this bundle can be assigned via Google Classroom or other learning management system. However, almost every activity is also printable for teachers and students who prefer paper copies.  Best of all, once you have these activities in your Google Drive, you can edit and adapt anything to suite your needs!

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP® exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. My course is also run as a collaboration with the University of CT.

I start the year with a set of lesson plans designed to last one week.  It is linked below.  We do all the paper-passing, signing up for different apps and classrooms, and become comfortable with the course and our classmates.  We also present our summer homework, also linked below.  This unit starts as if all of the beginning of the year “housekeeping” has been done already. 

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!   

**Please be sure to buy additional licenses if more than one teacher plans to use this resource.**

French Lesson Bonjour!

French Lesson Enchanté!

French Imperative Lesson - With and Without Pronouns - Distance Learning

This is a lesson on how to make affirmative and negative commands in French both with and without pronouns. Students will learn that when they want to use double pronouns with the imperative, a few things change. This lesson guide is part of my comprehensive lesson on the imperative which includes the following resources that are available individually or as a money saving bundle. You may choose to teach this lesson yourself or use my free 41 minute video lesson if you have to be absent, want to use it for distance learning, or if you have a sub who doesn't speak French. I have created all of the following resources to make a comprehensive lesson plan that will help students practice and master the French imperative.

Teacher and Student Instructions:

STEP 1 ➯ Download the 9 page lesson and follow it closely while teaching how to use pronouns with the imperative. The lesson includes all of the essential rules beginning with the formation of the imperative and finishing with affirmative and negative commands with pronouns and double pronouns. To keep your students on their toes as you teach, move ahead to STEP 2 before distributing a copy of the lesson for them to add to their French folder.

STEP 2 ➯ Download the 9 page cours and distribute a copy to your students. They can use it to follow along and take notes while listening to you teach the lesson. There are spaces for them to fill in missing information that they will learn as you explain everything. Taking their own notes will help them retain the new information.

The following resources supplement this lesson and are part of the BUNDLE:

STEP 3 ➯ Recorded listening comprehension exercise - TU. Distribute the worksheet and students should be ready to write as they are led through an audio exercise. Students will hear a sentence being read beginning with ​_Tu veux...._​ Listen carefully for the verb being used, and restate the sentence using the imperative. In this exercise, use the TU form every time, and no pronouns are used. Answer key included.

STEP 4 ➯ Recorded listening comprehension exercise - VOUS. Distribute the worksheet and students should be ready to write as they are led through an audio exercise. Students will hear a sentence being read beginning with ​_Vous voulez...._​ Listen carefully for the verb being used, and restate the sentence using the imperative. In this exercise, use the VOUS form every time, and no pronouns are used. Answer key included.

STEP 5 ➯ Recorded listening comprehension exercise - NOUS. Distribute the worksheet and students should be ready to write as they are led through an audio exercise. Students will hear a sentence being read beginning with ​_Nous voulons...._​ Listen carefully for the verb being used, and restate the sentence using the imperative. In this exercise, use the NOUS form every time, and no pronouns are used. Answer key included.

STEP 6 ➯ Written translation exercise - English to French - This exercise is meant to be simple and really focuses on what was taught in the lesson. A 5 minute audio file is included in which I walk students through the exercise and provide explanations just as you would in a classroom setting. This can be especially helpful if students are distance learning and need further help with the written work. You may wish to listen to my explanations and use some of my ideas when explaining the work yourself.

STEP 7 ➯ Written translation exercise - English to French - This exercise if for advanced learners or for those working at a higher level. This exercise will provide a challenge! It includes the imperative with pronouns and double pronouns with and without negation as well as other advanced level grammatical structures. A 9 minute audio file is included in which I walk students through the exercise and provide explanations just as you would in a classroom setting. This can be especially helpful if students are distance learning and need further help with the written work. You may wish to listen to my explanations and use some of my ideas when explaining the work yourself.

STEP 8 ➯ Written exercise - Reformulate French sentences and transform them into imperative commands. A 14 minute audio file is included in which I walk students through the exercise and provide explanations just as you would in a classroom setting. This can be especially helpful if students are distance learning and need further help with the written work. You may wish to listen to my explanations and use some of my ideas when explaining the work yourself.

STEP 9 ➯ Written exercise - Give commands using double pronouns. An 11 minute audio file is included in which I walk students through the exercise and provide explanations just as you would in a classroom setting. This can be especially helpful if students are distance learning and need further help with the written work. You may wish to listen to my explanations and use some of my ideas when explaining the work yourself.

STEP 10 ➯ 50 practice cards. This set of cards will help students truly master the French imperative with and without pronouns and negation. All cards are numbered, and there's a numbered answer key. I'm including 3 PDF versions to fit your teaching needs: 1 per page with answers shown on every other slide, 1 per page with no answers (refer to numbered key), 4 per page with no answers to print and cut out.

What Other Teachers Say:

Extremely satisfied

These resources totally saved me!! This product has everything I needed (and didn't want to make myself) for those first days and weeks of class. There’s so much included - a slideshow to outline what students can expect in the course, a grading policy, syllabus, a parent letter, LESSON PLANS...the list goes on! I especially like the interview activity and homework activity, and that everything is editable on Google Docs. Whether you’re new to AP or looking to refresh what you have, this has everything you could even think about needing!

Who can use this product?

• AP® Spanish Language and Culture Teachers

What’s included in this product and how can I use it?

Day 1 Google SlideShow: English Version (25 slides)

-On the first day of school, my AP students are so nervous and wondering if they made the right decision to attempt AP Spanish.  They often aren’t certain that they have enough skill to do well.  This slideshow explains what is the same and what is different about AP Spanish, highlighting that they are working to earn 6 college credits!  I share pictures of the many blessings I have in my life as a result of learning Spanish as a way to encourage them to keep studying Spanish.  You never know what doors will be open to you!  At the end of the presentation, I have several “Turn and Talk” questions to ease them back into speaking Spanish.  Many of the beginning slides in this version are in English.  I make a decision year-to-year on which version to use (Spanish or English) based on what I think my students’ needs might be.  I use the English version when fear and anxiety is especially high.

Day 1 Google SlideShow: Spanish Version (25 slides)

-This is the same  presentation as described above- all in Spanish.

Grading Policy (2 pages)

-This grading policy lays out what the grading categories will be and what percentage each one counts for.  It also explains the late work and cheating/plagiarism policies.

Course Syllabus (5 pages)

-This syllabus is written in a combination of Spanish and English.  It is meant to be handed out to students, but also useful for parents or administrators who don’t speak Spanish.  It lays out the course description, the textbooks and resources we use, the grading, attendance, late work and cheating plagiarism policies, and the course calendar. 

What is Language Proficiency? (2 pages)

-As a language teacher, I have been asked the questions “When will I be fluent?”  or “When will my child be fluent” many times.  This handout explains what language proficiency is according to ACTFL, and lists where we hope to start and end the course with students.  It includes the Can-Do statements for each level from ACTFL.

Cheating and Plagiarism  (2 pages)

-This is a comprehensive handout of what, exactly, is and is not allowed when using resources when students need help.  It gives students specific information on what resources are allowed, and how to properly document when they have used a resource.  It explains the academic and behavioral consequences related to infractions.  It requires signatures from both the student and a parent/guardian.

Class Codes (1 page)

-This doc has a spot to list all the join codes for the different things we use.  Mine includes Google Classroom, Remind and the AP Classroom join codes.  I find this helpful to have in case a new student joins the class after the first few days of school.

Country Chart (1 page)

Each semester, students are assigned a country of study where Spanish is spoken.  We use these countries when I ask them to find articles related to specific topics or cultural products, practices and perspectives.  This doc has teacher notes about how to assign countries and how to use small groups to get them talking about their countries!

First Day Interview Sheet (for students) (1 page)

-A Spanish questionnaire to find out more about your new students!  I ask about their interests, strengths, plans, and family.

First Homework:  Our Summer (3 pages- instructions and 2 examples)

-This is an easy and personalized homework assignment that asks students to share a picture and description of something they did this summer.  In class, I have students read others’ work and comment on it as a way to begin building camaraderie. 

College Credit Night: Info Sheet for Parents (2 pages)

-Our school has both an AP Course info night for parents/guardians.  This handout explains what is the same and what is different about AP Spanish compared to Years 1-4.  It highlights how being successful with the AP Exam can lead to earning 6 college credits!

Week 1 Lesson Plans  (6 pages)

-These lesson plans are written for a 5-day school week with 45 minute periods, but can be easily adapted to any school schedule.  The beginning of a school year can be a little dry with all the housekeeping items of passing out papers, seating charts, book distribution, etc.  But these lesson plans incorporate something every day to make sure students are hearing and speaking Spanish right from the first day, while also taking care of the unavoidable tasks.  There are teacher notes and several options so that you can tailor your first week of school to what you and your students will most enjoy!

Parent Letter & Guest Speaker Request  (1 page)

-This is a letter I send home to families (either in handout form or via email).  I introduce myself as their teacher and ask if anyone might be willing to be a guest speaker for our class, or knows someone who would.  I have had amazing guest speakers for my students who talk about how they use Spanish in their careers and/or lives, and it is very motivating for students to see how people use their Spanish outside of our classroom walls!  It’s a wonderful way to involve families too!

Remember that all of these documents are easily modified or edited to be tailored to your exact school and needs!

Administrators, please remember to purchase multiple licenses if you are purchasing this resource for more than one department member!

This engaging French lesson includes an original story with comprehensive listening, reading, and writing activities. After this lesson, your students will know and understand the 17 Dr. & Mrs. P. Vandertramp verbs. Here's a fun game that you can use to have your students practice conjugating these verbs.

EXPECT YOUR STUDENTS TO:

• identify verbs that use être as a helping verb
• strengthen listening comprehension at their level
• remember to make agreement on past participles
• learn new vocabulary by reading in French
• be amused by this creative story

STEP 1:

• Download, print, and distribute the Dr. & Mrs. P. Vandertramp chart.
• 17 verbs that use être as a helping verb are written in French with English translations.
• Past participles are included.

STEP 2:

• Listen to an audio recording of an original story that uses all 17 verbs that use être in the passé composé to work on listening comprehension, and to see how much students can understand.
• Download worksheet #1 and have students fill in the blanks (subjects, helping verbs, and past participles) as they listen to the story again.
• Download, print, and distribute the full text (2 pages) and have students read along as they listen again.
• Download worksheet #2 and have students fill in the blanks (helping verbs and past participles only - subjects and infinitives are included) NOT while listening to the story. 

STEP 3:

• Dictée - Listen to the audio recording and have students write everything they hear on the lines provided.
• This is a good exercise in listening comprehension, and they'll need to pay close attention to number and gender to spell the past participles correctly.
• Subject pronouns along with number and gender are included on the student response sheet.
• As they listen, they will write helping verbs and past participles.

What some teachers are saying about this lesson:

"Amazing resource! This was so comprehensive and hit all the aspects of language I was assessing at the time. I'm going to use this for the rest of my career."

"Great breakdown of the PC and of Vandertramp verbs. The audio recording was a great exercise, the right "level" of challenge for my grade 9s."

Dr. & Mrs. P. Vandertramp Verbs - Être Auxiliary Verb:

• descendre
• rentrer
• monter
• rester
• sortir
• partir
• venir
• arriver
• naître
• devenir
• entrer
• retourner
• tomber

Ready to start AP® Spanish Unit 6: Environmental, Political and Social Challenges? (Los retos ambientales, políticos y sociales) Your entire unit’s lesson plans are done!  These digital AND printable lesson plans have nearly every activity you will need linked in.  Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Activities that combine 2 skills, Homework, Assessments, AP® Exam Style activities and even Projects are all included!  The 2 main focuses are on climate change and immigration.  You will find vocabulary, grammar, relevant videos and articles, a debate project, Edpuzzles and more in this bundle. This is the last unit in the AP® Classroom curriculum. (In my Units 1-4 plans, all of the parts of the AP® Exam have been introduced with direct instruction.) 

Best of all, these lesson plans do NOT require that you have a particular textbook!  Everything you need is provided!

Teaching a new course, or even trying to revamp a course you’ve taught for a while is extremely time consuming.  These complete unit lesson plans will take you through the entire 6th unit for Global Challenges  starting with a “Hook Activity” using provocative images to spark interest and thought, and then the essential questions, vocabulary list and grammar study guide that you will need to get started. There are activities related to Climate Change and Immigration.  Every activity (over 58!) you need (with the exception of 2) is linked in.  Your prep will be limited to reviewing the lesson plans and sources ahead of your students, but the searching for appropriate authentic materials and creating accompanying activities is already done for you!  Download the Learning Objectives and Activity Count here!

I am fortunate to have several textbook resources including Temas, AP Spanish Preparing for the Language and Culture Examination and Avance.   In these lesson plans I make use of these textbooks for 2 out of 58+ activities. (They are grammar practices, but I provide the study guide and quiz, so you can easily make or find practices to go with these!)  However, especially after teaching on-line for a year, I have moved away from relying on textbooks and I create most of the activities myself. This makes these lesson plans very versatile and usable for anyone!  For teachers who need or like to teach digitally, all of the activities in this bundle can be assigned via Google Classroom or other learning management system. And almost every activity is also printable for teachers and students who prefer paper copies.  Best of all, once you have these activities in your Google Drive, you can edit and adapt anything to suit your needs!

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture® since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. 

I start the year with a set of lesson plans designed to last one week.  It is linked below.  We do all the paper-passing, signing up for different apps and classrooms, and become comfortable with the course and our classmates.  We also present our summer homework, also linked below.  Next I teach Unit 1: Families in Different Societies. This unit (Unit 6) starts as if all of the beginning of the year “housekeeping” has been done already and logically follows units 1, 2, 3 and 4 and 5 where I present all the different tasks of the AP Spanish Exam.   The previous unit plans are also linked below.  AP® teachers are allowed to teach the units in any order they would like, but I recommend that if you plan to use this series of lesson plans, that you go in order. I choose to introduce the AP test open-ended tasks over time so that students are not overwhelmed.  By unit 3, they will have learned the purpose, rules and resources for all of the tasks and can spend the last 3 units practicing them some more. This last unit is designed to fit into the often chaotic end of the school year with its many interruptions.  

There is a place within the lesson plans where I encourage a break from the unit to review for the AP® Exam. I have a schedule for review that I use with my students which I will link below.  If you are using this unit at a different point in the year, you can go through the unit without pause!

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!

French Relative Composed Pronouns - LEQUEL - AUQUEL - DUQUEL

This set of 35 cards will help upper-level French students practice using relative composed pronouns. Each card has a fill in the blank sentence to complete. The cards are numbered so that students can work individually, with partners, or in small groups while checking their own work using the numbered answer key. All you have to do is print as many sets of the cards that you'll need, and cut them out. If you can laminate them, you'll have these cards ready to pull out and use year after year. Do you prefer a paperless version? Just project the PDF with only one card per page for a whole class activity or share it with students to use on their computers, tablets, or phones. Check out my crossword puzzle for more practice with relative composed pronouns!

Students choose from: lequel - laquelle - lesquels - lesquelles - à laquelle - auquel - auxquels - auxquelles - duquel - de laquelle - desquels - desquelles

Included:

• 35 numbered practice cards - 4 per page for printing and cutting out
• 35 numbered practice cards (the same ones) - 1 per page for online use
• Numbered answer key

Back To School is here! The AP Spanish Language and Culture® Complete Lesson Plans for the Whole Year includes EVERYTHING you need to teach this course without being tied to a particular textbook!  Lesson plans are written by unit, and include specific, step-by-step instructions, # of minutes per activity, and every activity is linked into the lesson plans.  That means:

-no searching a folder for a particular activity!

-no searching the internet for authentic materials!

-no scrambling to make scaffolds and supports to make your materials accessible!

-no guesswork as to how or what to teach next!

Perfect for:

*Teachers teaching this course for the first time

*Teachers who need a refresh after teaching the course for a while

*Teachers feeling overloaded with all the responsibilities of the job

You can expect the following in each unit of study:

-a table that lists the types of activities and how many of each there are (view these in the previews)

-a table of learning objectives for each class for the entire unit (view these in the previews)

*Click HERE to download the learning objectives and activity count*

-Google Docs lesson plans with daily learning objectives, step-by-step instructions, teacher tips and explanations, and activities linked in

-embedded direct instruction and practice for the different parts of the AP Spanish® Exam

-Lessons organized by 3 45 minute periods and 1 90 minute period (our school uses a modified block schedule). The lesson activities are easy to move around to meet your school's schedule!

When we unexpectedly went to distance learning, I had to scramble as an AP Spanish® teacher. My students did not have access to their textbooks or the audio that went with it.  We used the Temas text, but I found that I had to adapt.  So, my lesson plans are now based almost entirely on authentic materials that I have found and curated.  I have created vocab lists around these materials and the activities that will go with them!  There are times during the lesson plans where I offer a suggestion from something that is found in the Temas textbook, but these lessons can be used fully without those suggestions.

Along with the honor of teaching our most advanced Spanish students comes the burden of heavy correcting and tons of planning.  We also have other preps.  Having an entire year’s worth of curriculum, lesson plans, projects and assessments ready to go will save you an incredible amount of time and relieve some of the pressure that we face as teachers. 

In my classes, we also review grammar and use the Avance text as a guide.  I include a study guide and a grammar quiz in each unit, but the practice activities (if you want to review grammar in class) are not included.

Required Materials:

-Access to the Internet and Google Docs/Slides/Forms

-Access to AP Classroom® via College Board  (free to all AP ®Teachers)

Referenced ancillary materials (though not necessary)

-Temas textbook

-Avance Grammar textbook

-A test prep workbook (several are suggested in the plans, though not needed)

Here is some feedback about my unit plans!

Extremely satisfied

Thank you so much for creating these! They are so helpful to have in class. My students were very engaged.

Extremely satisfied

Amazing resource! I have already purchased Unit 2 and 3!

Extremely satisfied

Extremely well planned unit. Everything you need is included here. I teach 3 different levels of Spanish and it is hard for me to revamp lesson plans. We use the textbook TEMAS at my school site but the readings can be very dry. I like how this unit incorporates soooo many resources that are authentic. 

I am definitely going to purchase more units. I wish there was a discounted bundle with all units because I would buy it!

Why should you trust me??

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture® since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  As I am still a classroom teacher, my activities and ideas evolve each year.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP® exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. I am successfully teaching this course in conjunction with the University of CT as another way for students to earn college credit. My former students report taking Spanish classes at the college/university level and having a high level of success!
